“El 95% de los que se ríen de Argentina quieren escuchar el himno de su país en una final, por eso alientan por otro. Es tan poco el orgullo que tienen por su país que alientan por otro para sentirse ganadores. Yo soy argentino, eso es orgullo”
Grandes palabras de Davo
As great as Rodri has been, not giving the Golden Ball to a THIRTY-NINE year old with 12 G/A who singlehandedly dragged a woeful Argentina side to the final is a joke.
🚨 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.”
