A mão do Maradona em 86 é glorificada como “Mano de Diós”.
A manipulação em 78 que tira o Brasil da final e os põe no lugar é admitido tanto por ex-jogadores argentinos quanto por entreguistas peruanos.
Doparam o Brasil em 90! Tudo confessado e motivo de piada na TV até hoje.
Então, sim, eles se orgulham. A essência deles é essa.
If you watched Argentina vs Netherlands in 2022, was the ultimate proof that the refereeing is always tilted to protect Messi:.
I’m saying this as a neutral sports lover, not even a Ronaldo fan. That match was proof that the rules change when it comes to Messi.
Paredes literally blasted the ball directly into the Dutch bench and escaped a red card or even a review.
Messi did a blatant, intentional mid-air handball to stop an attack and didn't even get a yellow. This incident happened in front of the referee.
Lahoz handed out a record 18 yellow cards but magically kept every Argentine on the pitch.
Fast forward to 2026 against Algeria, Austria, Cape Verde, and Egypt...
it��s just the exact same script on repeat.
You can’t be the GOAT with all these stains on your legacy.
Some of you are late to the party.
I decided who my GOAT is after this was allowed and his fans celebrated eitherway.
I knew i could not be part of any form of injustice.
So far this morning, Trump has...
• Declared the ceasefire over
• Threatened to commit war crimes against Iran
• Suspended trade with Spain
• Accused the 'Islamic Republic of Japan' of launching 111 missiles
• Referred to Zelenskyy as 'President Putin'
• Said he is number one on 'Tic Tack'
• Claimed prices are down on everything
• Suggested the U.S. should have carpet-bombed Khomenei's funeral
• Mentioned taking over Kharg Island
• Removed Syria from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list
• Praised China, Russia, and Turkey while disparaging NATO
• Tanked the markets
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
This is true, his shirt was pulled and it was a clear penalty but the referee refused to check on VAR to cancel the goal and award Egypt a penalty.
I'm really happy that today, the entire world witnessed that level of corruption.
There is no conclusive proof. But the circumstantial evidence that there is pro-Argentina bias in FIFA affecting the World Cup:
1) In the group stage opener against Algeria, Messi caught Aïssa Mandi with a studs-up challenge on the Achilles and escaped any card. FIFA later admitted the VAR officials got it wrong and sanctioned them.
2) The inconsistency became undeniable when the United States' Folarin Balogun was sent off in the Round of 32 for a near-identical foot-on-ankle challenge on Bosnia's Tarik Muharemović. Pundits directly compared the red card to Messi's uncarded foul on Mandi.
3) In the 2026 Round of 32 against Cape Verde, referee Drew Fischer did not enforce the tournament's new rule requiring an injured player to remain off the pitch after treatment. He waited for Argentina's Nicolás Tagliafico to return before allowing a Cape Verde corner. Several uncalled fouls in that game also went Argentina's way.
4) Today against Egypt, with Egypt leading 1-0, Mostafa Ziko finished off a long breakaway to make it 2-0. VAR sent Letexier to the monitor and the goal was disallowed for a Marwan Attia shirt-pull on Lisandro Martínez that occurred roughly 20 seconds earlier and nearly the full length of the pitch from goal.
5) Neutral officiating experts, not just Egyptian fans, called the decision wrong. Former FIFA referee Mark Clattenburg said he did not believe it was a foul and did not believe VAR should have intervened at all, adding that the call was inconsistent with the physical contact referees had allowed all tournament.
6) The winning sequence produced a second grievance. In the buildup to Enzo Fernández's stoppage-time winner, Egypt appealed for a penalty on a Salah challenge and for an Alexis Mac Allister shirt-pull, and VAR checked neither. Hassan cited the unreviewed Mac Allister pull directly in his post-match remarks.
7) The 2026 grievances land on top of a 2022 record In Qatar, Argentina were awarded five penalties, the most ever by a team in a single World Cup edition, with Messi taking all five. That same tournament, Messi handled the ball against the Netherlands in the quarterfinal and escaped a yellow card.
8) FIFA has appointed an all-Argentine crew, led by Facundo Tello, for Thursday's France–Morocco quarterfinal, the tournament's first all-same-country panel.
9) Comments attributed to Infantino after an Argentina match were widely discussed as suggesting bias toward Argentina before he later clarified them, and a deep Messi run drives far more global viewership and revenue than one without him. This establishes incentive.
FIFA cannot be trusted. Egypt was robbed. Argentina are coasting to another title under FIFA protection.
Indefensável isso aqui. 18 toques na bola. 6 ações defensivas. ~20 segundos. Mais de 100 metros do gol adversário. Claramente não era a mesma ação imediata de ataque. Golaço cancelado e um crime contra o futebol.
The robbery against Egypt was even worse than the one against Cape Verde.
It reached the point where the players and coach openly called out Messi and Argentina for the blatant corruption.
“Cutie” Romero:
Premier League: 23 matches, 1.4 fouls per game, 9 yellow cards, 2 red cards.
For Argentina in this world cup: 1.5 fouls per game, 0 yellow cards, 0 red cards.
Same player. Higher foul rate. Yet one record is full of cards, while the other is completely clean. Not even a single yellow card.
🚨🗣|| Muhammed Salah on why he was laughing when the referee overllok their penalty:
"I told him to go back and check it because it was a clear penalty, but he just waved it off and said, "Nah, that's not a foul."
Ironically, that's the exact same type of challenge that got our second goal disallowed. The moment that happened, I knew we'd lost the game to the referee. There's nothing you can do in that situation. If the officiating had been fair, we'd have won the match."
The average current FIFA World Ranking of Argentina's opponents thus far is 47.3
Of all 48 nations in the tournament, they have had the "easiest" schedule (Switzerland next at 44.8)
