JEFF POWELL MBE: Why unapologetic imposter Lionel Messi is now not even in the top five players of all time - and will forever be tainted as the leader of Argentina's brutes in ugliest World Cup final ever https://t.co/cFA1EteYJU
'Enzo Fernández became only the sixth player to be sent off in a World Cup final (and the third Argentine) and truly, nobody deserved it more.
'This is the man who, in 2024, was mired in a racism controversy when he broadcast a video on Instagram Live showing himself and Argentina team-mates singing a discriminatory chant about France’s players, mocking their African heritage and throwing in a few homophobic slurs.
'The Chelsea co-captain further endeared himself to his adopted land before the final, insisting that he had respect for the English “because everybody who cleans and cooks in our house is English”.'
But in a profoundly chastening final for Argentina, where they were not so much outplayed as emasculated, @oliverbrown_tel says he received his comeuppance at last 👇

🗣️"His self-respect and dignity was diminished. Quite frankly, it was pitiful to witness."

كان ممكن تعتزل من 4 سنين يا صاحبي.. كان ممكن تعتزل وسط موجة الاستعطاف اللي عملتها قبل كاس العالم اللي فات.
العالم كان متغاضي عن فكرة إنك حرامي والعاطفة كانت مسيطرة.
لكن هتعتزل دلوقتي وأنت إسمك الحرامي، هتعتزل والكوكب كله بيكرهك انت ومنتخبك النجس.. فعلًا الحرامي دايمًا طماع.
