VAR didn’t pull this back for “mistaken identity” (simulation).

FIFA even denied France’s appeal.

It’s these inconsistencies.

'Don't be disrespectful - speak to me respectfully': Lionel Messi's unusual exchange with World Cup referee is revealed... as officials face new scrutiny over Argentina's 'rigged' run to the semi-finals https://t.co/CChs4mLo7r

[Ava Brooks @ViralMindLive]

It seems my tweet has upset many Argentinians.

Gentlemen, if it's in FIFA's interest for Argentina to qualify so they can continue profiting from marketing, and for them to win so the Argentine Football Association can receive more prize money, which FIFA then invests in shell companies to collect its share, that's not my fault.

And if journalists expose these things, that's not my fault either.

And if Infantino appears in photos beaming with joy when Messi scores, and states in interviews that he's worried when Argentina struggles, and awards him Ballon d'Or trophies while he's playing in the MLS, and if Bezarp is told the day before a match who should receive the award, that's not my fault either.

And if there are calls in Europe to investigate Infantino for corruption, that's not my fault either.

And if the whole world (except for Argentinians and Barcelona fans) feels that the last World Cup was a robbery, that's not my fault either.

If you think that the 39-year-old Messi in the MLS is better than the Messi of his prime with Barcelona, ​​who didn't win a single title and even "retired" from his national team (which, by the way, was far superior to him), then all is well. Rejoice and celebrate! Lionel Messi and Argentina are the worst thing that has ever happened to football.

They disgust me 🤮🤮🤮🤮. This isn't a campaign against Messi or Argentina.

People are simply demanding a fair, exciting, and surprising World Cup...

And they've been denied that.

People are fed up.

@InfiltradoRM Looks fake.

Aquí le sacaron amarilla a Olise. No solo no avisó el VAR al árbitro, sino que luego no le quitaron la amarilla, con el riesgo de haberse quedado sin semifinales.

[The Footy Feed @TheFootyFeed]

Two Argentinians pulling him down and stopping him challenge for the ball... no VAR check and no Pen.

I don't think we are ready for the levels FIFA corruption we are about to witness on Wednesday... 🤯

Throwback to when pele and maradona admit Ronaldo as the greatest player of all of time

Professional players, ex-players and managers complaining about Argentina’s favoritism but apparently it’s just on Twitter 😂😂

[LLF @laligafraudss]

Lisandro Martínez pulls the Swiss player shirt away from the ball. VAR didn't even check for a penalty! 😂

[KDC Global @KDCGlobal_]

Harry Kane simulated against Dr Congo in the penalty box and was not given a card, Embolo simulated against Argentina and was given a second yellow in the same World Cup tournament! The laws and interpretations are inconsistent in this FIFA WORLDCUP 2026

[Ororo😎 @McFlybowy]

One thing about Ronaldo’s career is that it’s hard to point to major controversies surrounding his achievements. If there are any, they’re very few and far between.

Now compare that to the other guy.

He’s the only player whose club career is tied to a major refereeing controversy like the Negreira case. He’s the only one with around four Ballon d’Or wins that are still heavily debated. In fact, almost every major Ballon d’Or controversy of the modern era started with him.

He’s also the only player to win a World Cup Golden Ball that was so controversial the FIFA president later admitted it was a mistake. Then you have two different World Cup campaigns surrounded by officiating controversies and decisions that are still debated today.

At some point, you have to stop calling everything a coincidence. One incident can be a mistake. Two might be unfortunate. But when it’s three, four, or more times, it becomes a pattern.

None of this takes away from his incredible talent. He’s one of the greatest footballers ever. But it’s also fair to say that, throughout his career, he’s benefited from more controversial decisions than almost any other player in football history.

[The Global Madridista @GlbalMadridista]

Here we go again. VAR and the rule book are being used selectively and always to favor Argentina. To top it off, Messi gets to reprimand referees.

[(fan) LOCOS REAL MADRID @LocosRealMadrid]

Entre dormir o ver otro atraco de Argentina, no había discusión cual era la mejor opción

¿ Alguien sabe por qué aquí el VAR no revisa el teatro de Messi y lo amonesta ?

La FIFA ha dejado a Negreira en una broma

Among all the Balon D'ors stolen. Haaland's own was very painful. Imagine getting these awards and accolades. Yet it wasn't enough to win you the Balon D'or, simply because the award was reserved for the fancy little child.

Erling Haaland — 2022/23 (Manchester City)
Appearances: 53
Goals: 52
Assists: 9
Goal contributions: 61
Minutes played: 4,138

By competition:
Premier League: 35 apps, 36 goals, 8 assists
UEFA Champions League: 11 apps, 12 goals, 1 assist
FA Cup: 4 apps, 3 goals
EFL Cup: 2 apps, 1 goal
Major team trophies:
Premier League
FA Cup
UEFA Champions League (Treble)

Individual awards (highlights):
Premier League Golden Boot
UEFA Champions League Golden Boot
European Golden Shoe
Premier League Player of the Season
FWA Footballer of the Year

Now, the goalposts shifted. It was said that the World cup had a major influence on the Balon D'or rankings, since it was a World cup year.

However, in 2010, winning the world cup didn't ensure that Iniesta won the award. Also, Wesley Sneijder having a beautiful run didn't meet the criteria as well. It was Messi's 47 goals and 11 assists for the season and 60 goals and 17 assists for the calendar year that caught the eye of FIFA.

Lol, three things cannot long be hidden. The sun, the moon and THE TRUTH.

“Just nine days before Argentina’s victory at the 2022 World Cup, the AFA granted all its international commercial rights to a newly founded company in Miami with no experience in football “

Guess who joined Miami after the World Cup..

Guess who Barca was always paying “loyalty fee “

Guess who’s father run a cartel ?

Guess who owns the company, the “unknown “ company in Miami ?

Guess whose net worth increase tremendously after joining Inter Miami ??

Connect the dots, you’d know who’s the leader of the cartel stealing Argentina money and paying FIFA..

Un árbitro admite que no le sacó amarilla a Lionel Messi para que no se perdiera la final de la Copa América. Incluso le pidió su camiseta…

I didn't even feel Messi's presence on the field."

An Argentine player failed a doping test 1 month to the world cup. Yet he was allowed to play the world cup with Argentina and the media went quiet. We need serious investigations into whatever happened at the last world cup
