Bélgica no le pudo ganar a Egipto y está en Cuartos.
España no le pudo ganar a Cabo Verde y está en Cuartos.
Argentina le ganó a los dos, y está en Cuartos.
Pero el que tiene la llave fácil es Argentina.
🇵🇹🇦🇷🇪🇬 | El DT del Real Madrid, José Mourinho, humilló al fracasado musulmán Hossam Hassan luego de que acusara a Argentina de "robar" el partido: "Cuando pierdes un partido después de ir ganando 2-0, el primer análisis debería ser sobre tu propio equipo, no sobre conspiraciones. Como entrenador, debes mirar qué podrías haber hecho mejor antes de señalar con el dedo a otros".
"No me gustan este tipo de excusas. Decir que el torneo está diseñado para favorecer a un equipo o a un jugador desvía la atención del fútbol. Si crees que fuiste tratado injustamente, presenta los hechos. Si no, acepta el resultado y sigue adelante".
"El fútbol se decide por lo que ocurre en el campo. Si tu equipo no puede proteger una ventaja de dos goles, ahí es donde debería empezar la discusión. Los entrenadores deben asumir la responsabilidad, especialmente después de derrotas dolorosas. Eso forma parte del trabajo".
Arsène Wenger on Argentina players giving Lionel Messi a guard of honor and throwing him into the air after the game:
🗣️ “This is one of the most beautiful images football can give us. Forget the score, forget the records, forget the trophies for a moment this is about respect, love, and the bond between a captain and his teammates. Seeing Messi lifted into the air by his teammates shows what he truly means to Argentina.”
“People see the goals, the assists, and the incredible moments, but they don’t always see the emotions behind the legend. Messi has carried the responsibility of an entire nation for so many years, and tonight his teammates showed him that they appreciate every sacrifice, every battle, and every moment he has given them.”
“A guard of honor from your own teammates is not something you can demand it is something you earn. It is a symbol of admiration. They were not only celebrating a victory; they were celebrating their leader, their inspiration, and the player who has given Argentina so many unforgettable memories.”
“For Messi’s fans around the world, this is a moment to treasure forever. Football is not only about winning; it is about creating emotions that stay with people for a lifetime. Tonight, Argentina showed the world the incredible respect and affection they have for Lionel Messi their captain, their hero, and one of the greatest players the game has ever seen.”
🚨🎙️ Julián Álvarez on how Argentina treats Lionel Messi:
“People think we take care of Messi because of everything he's won.
That's not the reason.
We take care of him because he has spent his entire career taking care of Argentina.
When you share a dressing room with him, you quickly understand that he never asks to be treated differently. In fact, he's usually the first one to joke around, the first one to congratulate a teammate, and the last person to make anything about himself.
That's exactly why everyone naturally wants to protect him.
If Messi loses the ball, the first thought isn't, 'Why did he lose it?'
It's, 'Let's win it back for Leo.'
That's the mentality of this team.
We know that one touch, one pass, or one moment from him can change everything. So if we have to run an extra five or ten metres to give him that chance, we'll do it every single time.
For us, Messi isn't just the captain.
He's the heartbeat of Argentina.
Wearing the same shirt as the greatest player in history isn't pressure.
It's a privilege that we'll be telling our children about for the rest of our lives.”
🚨Jurgen Klopp on Lionel Messi in tears after the final whistle of the game against Egypt.
🗣️“He’s looking at the magical thing he has done again for the Argentine national team, he didn’t just cry because they won the game but because he created a historic comeback for his nation at the World Cup.”
“Seeing Messi share tears at the end of the game is emotional and heartbreaking at this point, you don’t see anyone doing it in world football right now at his age.”
“You just have to admit the fact that he’s the greatest footballer in the world before and now in the history of sport.”
Toni Kroos on the claims that Argentina robbed Egypt at the World Cup:
🗣️ "I don't understand why people always look for excuses after a result like this. Football is decided over 90 minutes, not by one moment. Egypt played an excellent first half, but after going 2–0 up they lost control of the game, and Argentina took advantage. That's what top teams do.
"People keep talking about the referee and VAR, but if you watch the match objectively, Argentina's comeback was built on their intensity, quality, and mentality. They believed until the final whistle, while Egypt couldn't maintain the same level they showed early on.
"You can't throw away a two-goal lead against one of the best teams in the world and then reduce everything to one decision. Football is much more complex than that.
"There will always be debates about refereeing, and that's normal. But saying the match was 'stolen' or that the tournament is being handed to Argentina is unfair to every player on the pitch. The players decide games with their performances, not conspiracy theories.
"The difficult thing after defeat is accepting that the opponent was better in the decisive moments. Argentina deserved credit for the way they responded under pressure, and Egypt should be proud of their performance while also learning from the mistakes that cost them. That's football."
🚨🎙️Pep Gaurdiola on Messi and Argentina COMEBACK in 13 mins against Egypt:
🗣️“This is exactly why Argentina are world champions. You can never write them off. At 2–0 down, most teams lose belief, but Argentina never do. They keep fighting because they know one moment can change everything.
And when you have Messi, you always have hope. He doesn’t need ten chances he only needs one. That’s why he’s different. That’s why, for me, he’s the greatest footballer of all time. The game is never over as long as Messi is on that pitch.”
Muchas mentes pequeñas, rencorosas y resentidas siguen criticando a Messi. Yo estoy más que feliz de llevar 20 años disfrutando de su magia. Gracias Capitán 🐐
Thierry Henry on Lionel Messi in tears after Argentina’s incredible comeback to beat Egypt 3-2 at the World Cup:
🗣️ “Seeing Lionel Messi in tears after that final whistle tells you everything. People see the trophies, the records, the goals, but they don’t always see the weight he carries on his shoulders. He carries the dreams of an entire nation every single time he steps onto that pitch.”
“This was not just a comeback victory it was a battle of heart, belief, and character. Argentina were 2-0 down, their World Cup dream was slipping away, but Messi refused to let his team give up. He kept fighting, kept leading, and showed why he is one of the greatest competitors football has ever seen.”
“The emotion we saw from Messi was the emotion of a player who understands what it means to represent millions of people. He doesn’t play only for himself; he plays for Argentina, for his teammates, and for every fan who believes in him. Tonight, he showed the human side behind the legend.”
“Great players create moments, but true legends create memories that last forever. Coming back from 0-2 to win 3-2 in a World Cup knockout match is the kind of night that will be remembered for generations. Messi didn’t just lead Argentina to victory he gave them a moment they will never forget.”
👏 El gran elogio de Rivaldo a Messi y a Argentina
🤝 "Soy brasileño, amo a mi país y siempre estaré apoyando a nuestra selección. La rivalidad es parte del fútbol, pero también sé reconocer y admirar cuando veo un gran partido y un equipo dando todo en el campo"
🐐 "Hablar de Messi es llover sobre mojado. ¡Qué jugador!"
Sigan el juego de los que impulsan el discurso de las ayudas a Argentina porque se empeñan en discutir a Messi.
La viralidad todo lo puede, miren que es difícil ir en contra de Messi!! Como te puede gustar el fútbol y debatir a Messi?
Que van a discutir? Que un pisotón claro deriva en un cambio de posesión que termina en gol?
Pero siempre sera mas facil hablar de ayudas en vez de admitir que hay una mentalidad ganadora como sello de la casa
Argentina estaba sin ideas. Argentina estaba sin energía. Argentina estaba eliminada.
Pero Messi decidió echarse a la espalda a la campeona del mundo para inventarse una asistencia y un gol contra Egipto.
Y a este jugador le llamaban "pecho frío" antes de 2022.
