“Why everyone suddenly hates Messi” is genuinely the most misguided take of all time.

I’ve seen so many posts similar to this lately. Painting Argentina and Messi as the ‘victims’ of a big hate campaign. Pull up whatever irrelevant algorithmic data you want. Blame paid accounts. Quote psychological theory. At the end of the day… it’s pretty simple.

Barcelona allegedly paid off referees for 2 decades, spanning Messi’s entire career…

The Argentinian FA are being investigated for money laundering. We’ve all seen the blatant refereeing favouritism across two World Cups now. We all saw their violent, aggressive and petulant behaviour all tournament. We aren’t blind…

Inter Miami, disproportionate to the rest of the MLS, hoarded old European talent and walk the league as soon as Messi arrives. Somehow qualifying for the Club World Cup without actually meeting any criteria for such qualification. This is a plastic club, with no history and purchased success…

While you can’t blame all of this on Messi, obviously. He is clearly complicit. He clearly benefits from the purchased success of such institutions. He is clearly a money milking machine for FIFA and America. Something Infantino is well aware of… he ‘suffers’ with Messi after all.

And people don’t like it. People don’t like blatantly manufactured success. People don’t like cheats. People don’t like teachers pets. People don’t like players that try and get other players (Cucurella) unfairly sent off in a World Cup final when they are clearly being outclassed on the pitch. People don’t like people that lack integrity.

But nah. I guess we’re all swept up in mass hysteria! We’re all brain washed! And this is dangerous rhetoric!

Shut up. The Messi bias is nauseating.

Blijft verbijsterend hoe de @KNVB wegkijkt bij de strapatsen van @FIFA boss #infantino, de aap op de schouders van President Trump. Ze zouden zich in Zeist rot moeten schamen.

Este es, quizás, el vídeo más descarado de la Final de la Copa del Mundo. Todos vimos cómo Enzo Fernández casi mata a Pau Cubarsí, pero si te fijas, más abajo, un jugador de Argentina, Nicolás Tagliafico, ve la tremenda patada de su compañero y, sabiendo que la ha cagado, se le ocurre tirarse al suelo y fingir una lesión. Enzo recibe la tarjeta roja, pero Messi se acerca al árbitro señalando a su compañero argentino caído (a Tagliafico) diciendo que está lesionado. Afortunadamente no coló. Son delincuentes, no jugadores de fútbol.

@williamsjdjr @markklfc I think the assesment is correct when facing a team like Spain that didn't take their bait. They're used to opponents getting frustrated by the attacks and being able to draw them into this fight match, which they will win because of experience with fighting.

🇪🇸👉🏻Gracias al triunfo de España, poco se habla de que se estaba consumando un atraco monumental contra la selección española.

Por fortuna, España ganó y todo quedó como una simple anécdota. Pero ¿qué habría pasado si el partido se iba a los penales y Argentina terminaba levantando la copa?

La jugada es clara. A Otamendi apenas lo roza el futbolista español; es un contacto mínimo, totalmente normal, producto del intento de Mikel Merino por controlar el balón. Incluso Otamendi en su torpeza, se duele de la pierna equivocada

Por eso el triunfo de España tiene todavía más mérito. No solo derrotó a Argentina en la cancha, también superó al sistema.

[Sparked Sports @SparkedSportsHQ]

Swiss sports commentators, somehow right on the money when it comes to saying the quiet part out loud.

[Mouin Rabbani @MouinRabbani]

It is ridiculous to claim that Spain’s World Cup victory puts the lie to allegations that Argentina has been receiving preferential treatment.

The preferential treatment of Argentina was consistent, and consistently visible throughout the tournament.

Even in the final, Spain had a perfectly legitimate goal disallowed, and although Argentina received six yellow cards (with one player sent off after receiving a second), they deserved many more.

Any other team playing similarly would have had at least two players sent off and been handed a full deck of cards.

It seems to me quite clear that the FIFA leadership determined that its commercial interests dictated that Argentina needed to stay in contention beyond what the team’s performance warranted.

Ensuring Messi continued to play throughout the tournament was a FIFA priority. Not because of his indisputable qualities as a great player, but because of his unparalleled ability to draw viewers.

World Cup finals are often anti-climactic. This one was doubly so because one team had no business being in it, and would under normal circumstances have been eliminated several games earlier.

Gianni Infantino’s only significant accomplishment has been to make the world nostalgic for Sepp Blatter.

@ferreti29 @TheUnitedExtra That was the tournament where they drugged a Brazilian player during the match.

Argentina was an “utter disgrace,” according to these ESPN analysts, who pointed out what they called Argentina’s “thuggery.”

La FIFA croit que la finale de la Coupe du Monde est un remake du Super Bowl puisque la mi-temps durera... 30 minutes pour des shows sur le terrain

For foreign publishers interested in translating my book, The Football Industry 1 [FIFA – Crime – Politics], please do not hesitate to contact me

Published two and a half years ago, the book revealed everything we are currently witnessing: the growing politicisation of the ‘new’ FIFA, the influence of the United States, Infantino’s fascination with the ‘powerful’ – including Trump – and several criminal networks still operating within the organisation

The book is only available in French at the moment, but I hope it will one day be published in other languages!

Keep the faith

🇺🇸🚨📣 SCANDAL
The Argentine Soccer Mafia ⚽️. Why the FBI is investigating…👇

Sexual abuse of minors, money laundering, embezzlement, tax evasion, and forgery: the Argentine Football Association (AFA) faces a litany of scandals and investigations—notably by the FBI—yet has been shielded and protected by FIFA for years.

The problem is that FIFA routinely uses lies in its communications – from the attendance figures for the first round to inflated promises of economic benefits and a whole host of other things (claiming to combat child abuse whilst allowing a coach officially suspended by FIFA in the DRC to continue working with teenagers without any repercussions; when you lie about child abuse, you can lie about anything)

It is therefore difficult to take their word alone as a guarantee – especially given the footage shown by Fox
