People don’t quite understand that this is how football is played in South America. It is awfully physical to the point of borderline violence. I realized how many people don’t watch CONMEBOL from the discourse around this World Cup.
The obsession with Messi this World Cup has been something else.
Every Argentina match, people spend more time waiting for Messi to fail than actually watching the football.
If he scores, it’s “rigged.”
If he assists, it’s “lucky.”
If he wins, it’s “FIFA.”
If he loses, they celebrate like they won the trophy themselves.
At some point, it stops being football rivalry and starts looking like an unhealthy obsession.
You don’t have to like Messi.
Guy carried his team to the World Cup final with 8 goals and 4 assists but doesn’t win player of the tournament yet is also apparently fifas boy at the same time. Messi haters are the most low I.Q people I’ve ever seen
Bright side about the World Cup being over is that I no longer get to hear “rigged!” from people who literally tuned into their first football games this year 😂
