Unforgettable

[Out of Context Football Manager @nocontextfm1]

The World Cup has an award for best player and Lionel Messi winning that would be completely deserved.

Messi winning the Ballon d’Or, because of one brilliant month, would not be.

Unai Simón is a great goalkeeper, an anti-fascist goalkeeper, and an anti-zionist goalkeeper.

Honestly this is a better storyline than most romcoms.

I don't really have a problem with either Embolo yellow

but by the same standard Argentina should have had between six to fourteen yellows in the first half and they had zero

[Mal @UtdMaI]

If the allegations are true, then Argentina’s recent successes may have served as a vehicle for laundering millions of dollars through FIFA and the Argentine federation.

It would also explain why so many people continue to question the penalties and refereeing decisions that went Argentina’s way during the 2022 World Cup.

Between the Negreira case and these allegations involving FIFA and Argentine football, Lionel Messi’s career could remain one of the most controversial in football history, regardless of his own personal involvement.

Papi Gomez tested positive for doping before the 2022 World Cup, and what did FIFA do? They allowed him to play the entire tournament. After that, they banned him from football for 2 years. How is this even allowed to happen?

[Yakob @yakobper90]

Just finished watching this video and it’s genuinely the most insane shit you will ever hear about a federation bro what the actual fuck. It gets worse and worse the longer you watch. FIFA are an absolute disgrace for enabling and protecting these crimes.

[Amit @amitttrmfc2]

This alone should be enough to strip them of their World Cup medals and trophy

[WolfRMFC @WolfRMFC]

Dont get me wrong Embolo’s dive was clear but just want to know why VAR gets used when it helps Argentina but wasnt used for Messi’s red card tackle against Algeria?

Summary of Romain Molina’s Investigation: Key Allegations About FIFA & AFA Corruption 🇦🇷🤯

— Molina alleges FIFA protected the AFA despite major money-laundering and embezzlement investigations worth over $300 million.

— FIFA cleared youth women’s coach Diego Guacci of harassment and mistreatment allegations due to insufficient evidence.

— FIFA allegedly exposed the identities of complainants despite promises of confidentiality.

— The AFA reportedly knew about the allegations against Guacci but allowed him to remain in his position.

— Players allegedly described the AFA as a “mafia” and feared retaliation for speaking out.

— Nine days before Argentina won the 2022 World Cup, the AFA handed its international commercial rights to a newly created Miami company.

— FIFA reportedly paid World Cup prize money directly to that private company instead of the AFA.

— The company allegedly received an unusually high 30% commission on the AFA’s international revenue.

— Money from FIFA, Adidas, broadcasters, and sponsors was reportedly moved through several companies and American banks.

— Millions were allegedly transferred to shell companies linked to bankrupt or financially struggling individuals.

— Some recipients reportedly disappeared, changed their contact details, and suddenly appeared wealthier.

— The funds were allegedly spent on luxury homes, planes, yachts, and activities unrelated to football.

— Investigators suspect AFA officials personally benefited, including through luxury properties registered under other people’s names.

— Revenue from Argentina’s national-team success was allegedly used to help finance the purchase of Italian club Perugia.

— The Miami company’s agreement reportedly runs until 2030 and was approved by the AFA Executive Committee.

— Molina claims FIFA ignored the irregularities despite being responsible for auditing the AFA every year.

— He also questions the close relationship between FIFA legal director Emilio García and AFA officials.

— Journalists investigating the case reportedly faced threats, smear campaigns, and the removal of press credentials.

— Molina concludes that the alleged corruption extends beyond the AFA to FIFA itself, which he says enabled and protected the system.

Las selecciones ahora tienen que entrenar y prepararse para un posible robo de Argentina, increíble a lo que hemos llegado, han manchado a este hermoso deporte.

Belgium sleep-walked through the tournament except when they turned it on to embarrass the United States. The power of hate.

🚨 Vozinha: "I saw the match against Egypt. They were victims too, just like us. The referees seem to have one set of rules for Argentina and another for everyone else. If Argentina commits a foul, play goes on. If their opponents do the same, it's a penalty or a yellow card".

[sam 🇪🇸 @sambrazy]

Not enough people remember this. Infantino hand selected Inter Miami to participate in the Club World Cup. Not the MLS champions, but Inter Miami.

They’re the only team that didn’t have to qualify
