Q

I ain't broke, I'm broqué

[Sadosky🥇 @AIfechukwu63643]

When both Argentina and Switzerland were numerically the same, the Swiss were in control of the game and could have led if they finished off their chances, especially in the second half but the game took a swift turn after a red card to Embolo.

What is true;
1. Embolo was already on a yellow card
2. Paredes went for a challenge to stop a Swiss attack
3. The ref spotted it and instantly sounded his whistle, gave Paredes a yellow card for the late tackle.
4. VAR are allowed to review every yellow card issued by the ref and the Paredes’ own wasn’t different. Whilst the review was on, they saw that the Argentine didn’t deserve the booking because the player who many thought had been fouled, actually dived.
5. The ref was told to look at the on pitch screen and then found out the Swiss player dived.
6. The ref knew he’s been tricked by Embolo. Apologised to Paredes, chalked off the yellow card and was furious at Embolo and gave him the punishment he gave to the Argentine midfielder and unfortunately Embolo was already on a yellow.
7. Two yellows turn red and Embolo was sent off.

What is lie;
1. The ref rigged the game.
2. Embolo shouldn’t have received the second yellow card.

Embolo let his country down. He cried himself off the pitch and will forever remember this moment.

In 2026, where cameras are everywhere, players on yellow cards still dive?

In 2022, he could have faced Brazil in the semi-final but Brazil lost to Croatia.

In 2010, he could have faced England in the quarter-finals but England lost to Germany.

In 2014, he could have faced Portugal in the Round of 16 but Portugal got knocked out in the group stage.

Italy didn’t even make it out of the group stage the last time they were in the World Cup

Meanwhile, Messi advanced to the next round in all of these stages while the people he was supposed to play against didn’t

So how was any of this Messi’s fault?

2010. South Africa. They said theft will be at an all-time high. Unsafe for world cup. Didn't happen.

2014. Brazil. Complained about some of the remote places the venues were. Unsafe for players. Didn't happen.

2018. Russia. "It's not a democracy". There would be marginalization. People would not even be free or allowed entry. Didn't happen.

2022. Qatar. " Slave built stadiums ". A morally bankrupt nation. " It cannot be fun". The tournament is horrible. No alcohols. Religious intolerance. Didn't happen.

2026. US. All the above happening.
We see.

When Russia hosted the World Cup in 2018, it had to suspend normal visa rules for the tournament. Foreigners with tickets could enter visa-free, using a scheme called ‘Fan ID.’

Russia also had to do weird stuff to keep FIFA’s sponsors happy. For example, small shops near Fan Zones and stadiums could only sell Budweiser beer on match days.

So yes, FIFA absolutely does dictate conditions to host governments when it suits FIFA. Infantino pretending otherwise is nonsense.
