Have seen 3 Argentina related “rigged” incidents hit 2-3M+ impressions, 100k+ likes, and literally all of them are lies. Never seen anything like it.
1) Paredes’ foul at the end of the game — clear dive with video proof. Referee was spot on.
2) Messi’s free kick — the referee had blown the whistle, again with clear video proof.
3) Tagliafico not needing to wait for 1 minute before re-entering — the rules clearly state if a player leaves the field of play to stop bleeding or change a blood-stained shirt, they can come back on immediately.
3 super minor actions that weren’t game defining whatsoever getting this much level of scrutiny is already crazy. But to make matters worse, ALL of them are lies. Said I couldn’t even fathom the online reaction if the Portugal game had happened to Argentina and this is why.
The idiocy and hatred these anti-Messi fans have is downright insanity.
