Enough is enough. We’ve reached a point where it feels like anything people say about Argentina will go viral. No one can convince me that everything I’m seeing isn’t driven, at least in part, by chasing engagement.
It’s somehow Argentina’s fault that a clear penalty wasn’t given to them tonight, but no one wants to talk about that because it doesn’t generate interactions.
It’s Argentina’s fault that Portugal didn’t finish top of their group, and that neither Uruguay nor Spain managed to beat Cape Verde.
It’s Argentina’s fault that people keep spamming Messi’s out-of-context tackle against Algeria, while much harsher challenges have gone unpunished throughout this World Cup.
It’s Argentina’s fault that a Cape Verde player dove when Paredes didn’t even touch him, but that doesn’t fit the narrative people want.
We’ve seen terrible VAR decisions and far more controversial incidents throughout this World Cup, yet they barely get any attention because they don’t involve Argentina.
Everything is Argentina’s fault. I've never seen anything like this.
