In a recent interview, Luís Figo revealed that ten journalists shortlisted among the 100 Ballon d’Or voters have been delisted and removed for violating FIFA regulations in favor of Messi.
According to Figo, the journalists were caught attempting to manipulate and coordinate their votes in favor of Lionel Messi to win the award over other top contenders, including Lamine Yamal, Kylian Mbappé, and Harry Kane.
Figo went further, stating: “For the past 15 years the awards have been rigged in favor of Messi. Only 3 out of the 8 he has won were truly deserved. I don’t know what the relationship between him and FIFA is, but I hope he’s brought to justice someday.”
“Lionel Messi is the only player in history who can curse, abuse and threaten other players and referees with no repercussions.”

One of the most pathetic things I’ve ever seen from a supposed sportsman. Messi’s fake halo shattered in this World Cup; he was the sneaky cheating leader of a vile bunch of violent thugs.
🚨 If you watch this 5mins video of Argentina vs England you'll think there was no referee in the match.
The referee should be investigated because this is pure corruption that even those learning how to watch football will understand.
ANALYSE / Favoritisme ?

Comment croire la FIFA qui a fait du mensonge sa communication + un sentiment de suspicion fort AU SEIN des fédérations que les grosses nations ont des petits avantages (tirage au sort, VAR...)
Keep the faith !
🚨 External Analysis Report Egypt vs Argentina match featured 23 refereeing errors. The most ever recorded in a single FIFA World Cup game.
Every single one of them benefited Argentina over Egypt.
🗣️“You guys only pat down Egypt?”
🗣️ Security: Yea
🗣️ “Why?!”
🗣️ Security: “Because these are the orders coming in right now.”
Why were Egypt fans subjected to racist treatment before the match? 🤔
🚨 Roy Keane on Argentina vs. Egypt:
“Once is a mistake. Twice, maybe. But when it keeps happening, you have to start asking questions. An Argentina player appeared to slap an Egypt player, and the referee ignored it. There was a foul in the penalty area—at least go and review it.
That’s what VAR is there for. If you’re only reviewing incidents for one team, then what’s the point? It felt like Argentina started the game with an advantage before a ball was even kicked, and that’s the referee. That’s not how football should work.”
When Argentina asked for VAR? The referee went straight to check and canceled a fair goal.
When Egypt ask for VAR? Completely refuse to check and start giving Egypt players yellow cards ❌
🚨 Why are Messi and Argentina's goal never checked by the VAR for fouls !?
Every goal against Argentina is always checked but any goal scored by Argentina is never checked.
How many more teams will be Robbed like Egypt and Austria !?
Congrats to Argentina.
While Egypt will understandably feel robbed by the officiating—and are rightfully frustrated and angry—they should stand incredibly proud. They played their hearts out, delivered moments of pure magic, and earned the admiration of millions worldwide.
Personally, I am absolutely devastated by the outcome. Yet I'm in absolute awe of this team's courage and dedication.

🚨Paul Scholes on Mo Salah and Egypt being eliminated by Argentina.
🗣️“This is the greatest robbery in football history I’ve ever witnessed, from the beginning of the game till the end there wasn’t any favorable decision for the Egyptian national team. You don’t have to bring in excuses for such controversial decisions in the end.”
“It’s sad and you can see how emotional and heartbreaking the fans look after the game, it’s not what we expected from the game today. A false penalty and many other decisions that isn’t meant to be taken, we just have to admit the fact that it was rigged and there’s nothing we can do about this.”
“It’s Lionel Messi and we all know why this happened today against the Egyptian team, this wasn’t how football is supposed to be played but they ruin everything with their favorite decisions.”
