@PaulDav56857059 Yes and no. Although he didn’t “fight” he did participate in the Falkland banner against England and then this. Not kicking and punching is the minimum amount of self restraint one can have so it’s hard for me to give him credit there https://t.co/4foSxi5wQC
Lo de la @Argentina (@AFA) es la definición de antifútbol y mal perder. No supieron ganar en el campo y han demostrado una falta de dignidad absoluta fuera de él. Dar la espalda y negar el aplauso a la @SEFutbol es una actitud marrullera, tosca e inaceptable para profesionales.
Before #FIFA start pumping the propaganda tonight and telling us all how amazing this #WorldCup has been, let’s remember they oversaw:
- highest ticket prices ever and took a cut from resale sites.
- did nothing about Somalian referee and dozens of staff who were banned from entering the US for no legitimate reason.
- stood by as Iran were forced to train outside the US and travel in on match days.
- overturned red cards after phone calls with the president.
- Americanised the beautiful game with hydration (TV) breaks and 25 mins half time in the final
- guided Argentina through the tournament with less travel, VAR support and blatantly turning a blind due to their aggression and foul play.
@sopitas Los futbolistas argentinos cuando ganan se burlan del oponente hasta el cansancio y cuando pierden lloran como niñas y/o buscan pelear con el contrario. Les resulta imposible lidiar con la frustración, son muy brutos.
@tancredipalmeri It really is not what football is about. I’ve never been more incensed by a team in my life. Their attitude throughout the tournament and all the little advantages have been death by a thousand papercuts for football.
@ESPNFC It was accidental. He was facing away from Otanendi while Otanendi was pushing into him. Merino is visibly following the ball and not doing something to obstruct a player. Did this go to the VAR? It looked like the ref made the call.
