🚨Ángel Di María: "I Wish the Malvinas Banner Had Never Been Shown"
"I wish that banner had never been shown. The Malvinas are part of Argentina's history and emotions, but a World Cup final is not the place for political messages. We spent years preparing for football, not politics."
"When I saw it, I felt disappointed because I knew it would become one of the biggest talking points after the match. The players on both sides deserved to have the spotlight on their football, not on something that would only create more division and controversy."
"We represent our country with pride every time we wear this shirt, and that's enough. There is a time and place for political discussions, but a World Cup final should be remembered for the players, the fans, and the beauty of the game. I truly wish that moment had never happened."
Is this the real reason BJP can't let go of Pradhan?
Or is it that giving into protest blackmail will only embolden Andolanjeevis?
Or is there some other reason behind this decision?
My Odia followers - I need to know your thoughts....

🚨 Leandro Paredes speaking on the clash with Gavi after the World Cup final:
🗣️: “Gavi came over after the final whistle while everyone was celebrating. He saw me and said in Spanish that No referee or VAR to help Messi today, I didn’t appreciate it. It was disrespectful, especially after the match had already ended.
“I walked up to him and punched him on the face. I wasn’t going to stand there and let a kid speak about Messi like that. After that, everything escalated. Players from both teams rushed in, there was pushing, shouting, and everyone was trying to defend their teammates.
“These things happen when emotions are running high after a World Cup final. I’m not proud that it turned into a confrontation, but I wasn’t going to let someone disrespect Messi without responding.”
🚨 Zlatan Ibrahimović on Lionel Messi not winning the World Cup Golden Ball:
🗣️: “What else did Messi have to do to win it? I genuinely don’t understand the criteria anymore. If you look back at 2018, Luka Modrić won the Golden Ball without winning the World Cup. So what changed now?
“Messi carried Argentina throughout the tournament, delivered when it mattered most, and was once again the player everyone feared. If that wasn’t enough, then tell me what is.
“It feels like the standards are always different when it comes to Messi. Every other player gets judged one way, but with him, people suddenly move the goalposts. It’s always against Messi.
“I’m happy for Rodri, but from a football perspective, I don’t think anyone had a stronger case than Messi.”
🚨Cafu on Rodri winning the Golden ball over Lionel Messi at the World Cup.
🗣️“There have been many times at this World Cup that a lot fans and pundits talk about how controversial the World Cup games for Argentina is in their favor but this decision from FIFA is way off the charts.”
“Lionel Messi deserves every bit of respect and recognition for this World Cup, he was outstanding in every single game for Argentina, and if winning the World Cup trophy gets you the golden ball award then they should just retire the Sport. No need to for great players to waste their efforts and later get nothing out of it.”
“That’s the worst decision I’ve seen in a World Cup final, Rodri is an exceptional player with great talent but looking at the stats at this World Cup between him Lionel Messi there’s no comparison at all, the stats don’t lie and the performance as well don’t lie too - so why would this be different from performances.”
😁🏆 Leo Messi when asked about playing at the 2030 World Cup: “I don't know. The truth is, I'm not thinking about that right now. It seems a bit far off... but, as I said, I'm living one day at a time and focused on the present”.
Julián Álvarez wrote a birthday letter to Leo Messi. 🩵🤍
“To you, who changed our lives, who gave us unforgettable moments, who 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐮𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞…”.
“The best part wasn’t watching it, it was living it with you!”.
“𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧. 𝐖𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮”.
“May you be immensely happy!” ❤️🇦🇷
