Saying you’re a GOAT and never winning the World Cup is like a boxer saying he’s the greatest without winning the world title. It doesn’t count. Period.
40 years on
Same away blue shirt
Same score
2-1
This is insane
How this Messi can change a game with a split of a second
I’m devastated England lost, but can’t not appreciate the greatest player that ever lived. No debate. Messi is the king of football.
Messi is in the goat list of all sport. Forget football. He’s completed that.
He joins Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan & Usain Bolt. Elites.
If you don’t agree, you’re either a hater or have no clue on football, sports or leadership.
3 world cup finals is a record. Win
Or lose it doesn’t matter. He’s achieved it all.

🚨 Every major refereeing controversy that has gone Argentina’s way at the 2026 World Cup… and somehow it looks even worse than Qatar.
🇩🇿 Algeria: Messi caught Aïssa Mandi with his studs. No card. No VAR review.
🇦🇹 Austria: Mac Allister appeared to foul Schlager before Messi’s goal. Austria protested, but VAR allowed the goal.
🇨🇻 Cape Verde: Tagliafico’s challenge in the build-up to Argentina’s second wasn’t reviewed despite appeals.
🇪🇬 Egypt: A brilliant Egyptian goal was ruled out for an alleged foul at the very start of the move, over 80 metres from goal.
🇪🇬 Egypt (again): Egypt appealed for a penalty before Argentina’s late winner. Play continued, and Argentina scored moments later.
🇨🇭 Switzerland: Embolo was sent off after VAR intervened for an alleged dive near midfield, one of the most unusual VAR decisions fans have seen.
One controversial decision can happen. But when the same team benefits from them in almost every round, people are naturally going to ask questions.
When Cape Verde started taking control, every major decision suddenly went Argentina’s way.
When Egypt looked ready to go three goals clear, the referee found a reason to wipe one off.
When Switzerland threatened to complete the turnaround, a Swiss player was conveniently sent off.
You can look away all you want, but the pattern is becoming impossible to ignore. The favouritism is glaring, and the stench of corruption is everywhere.
There is no conclusive proof. But the circumstantial evidence that there is pro-Argentina bias in FIFA affecting the World Cup:
1) In the group stage opener against Algeria, Messi caught Aïssa Mandi with a studs-up challenge on the Achilles and escaped any card. FIFA later admitted the VAR officials got it wrong and sanctioned them.
2) The inconsistency became undeniable when the United States' Folarin Balogun was sent off in the Round of 32 for a near-identical foot-on-ankle challenge on Bosnia's Tarik Muharemović. Pundits directly compared the red card to Messi's uncarded foul on Mandi.
3) In the 2026 Round of 32 against Cape Verde, referee Drew Fischer did not enforce the tournament's new rule requiring an injured player to remain off the pitch after treatment. He waited for Argentina's Nicolás Tagliafico to return before allowing a Cape Verde corner. Several uncalled fouls in that game also went Argentina's way.
4) Today against Egypt, with Egypt leading 1-0, Mostafa Ziko finished off a long breakaway to make it 2-0. VAR sent Letexier to the monitor and the goal was disallowed for a Marwan Attia shirt-pull on Lisandro Martínez that occurred roughly 20 seconds earlier and nearly the full length of the pitch from goal.
5) Neutral officiating experts, not just Egyptian fans, called the decision wrong. Former FIFA referee Mark Clattenburg said he did not believe it was a foul and did not believe VAR should have intervened at all, adding that the call was inconsistent with the physical contact referees had allowed all tournament.
6) The winning sequence produced a second grievance. In the buildup to Enzo Fernández's stoppage-time winner, Egypt appealed for a penalty on a Salah challenge and for an Alexis Mac Allister shirt-pull, and VAR checked neither. Hassan cited the unreviewed Mac Allister pull directly in his post-match remarks.
7) The 2026 grievances land on top of a 2022 record In Qatar, Argentina were awarded five penalties, the most ever by a team in a single World Cup edition, with Messi taking all five. That same tournament, Messi handled the ball against the Netherlands in the quarterfinal and escaped a yellow card.
8) FIFA has appointed an all-Argentine crew, led by Facundo Tello, for Thursday's France–Morocco quarterfinal, the tournament's first all-same-country panel.
9) Comments attributed to Infantino after an Argentina match were widely discussed as suggesting bias toward Argentina before he later clarified them, and a deep Messi run drives far more global viewership and revenue than one without him. This establishes incentive.
FIFA cannot be trusted. Egypt was robbed. Argentina are coasting to another title under FIFA protection.
🚨 Jose Mourinho:
Argentina have been heavily favored over the past two World Cups, and it’s starting to look like everything was planned for Messi to win it. They won the 2022 World Cup with so many questionable refereeing decisions, so many penalties, and countless controversies, and now we’re witnessing it again. When is FIFA going to say something about it?
They refused to give Messi a red card in the first group-stage game. Against Cape Verde, the match was full of controversies, and today, Egypt’s goal was disallowed for no reason. The same sequence happened before Argentina’s last goal, yet it wasn’t even reviewed. Argentina committed 13 fouls, and not a single card was issued to any of their players not even a yellow.
I think if this continues, people will have to start asking what’s really going on and whether it’s all being planned for Messi to win it again.
THEY ROBBED ALGERIA, AUSTRIA, JORDAN, CAPE VERDE AND NOW EGYPT
NOT A SINGLE FCKING GAME WITHOUT ROBBERY
FCKKKKKK ARGENTINA
FCKKKKKK ARGENTINA
FCKKKKKK ARGENTINA
Feel sorry for Egypt, they were not just playing against 11 men they were playing against a whole corrupt institution which goes beyond this football game.
I genuinely don't understand it. If a goal is ruled out because of an accidental standing on a player's foot, how is Salah not given a penalty? You can't have it both ways. Either both are fouls, or neither are. That's all fans ask for consistency.
- Gave Argentina’s penalty which was initially an offside.
- Disallowed Egypt second goal before they actually scored another which stood, because of a foul which was never a foul.
- Argentina scored a winner from a counter attack which was initially a foul.
This corruption is on another level.

Harry Maguire has started 4 games this season:
Lost 2-1 vs Brighton

The most consistent player in the world. He is consistently bad.
