Lionel Messi is the first player to score in SEVEN consecutive World Cup matches, a run that goes back to Argentina’s Round of 16 game against Australia in 2022.
Portugal could have faced Ghana (RO32) and Iran (RO16) in the knockout stages but they could only defeat Uzbekistan in their group, but certain fans will say it’s rigged for Messi 😭
- Draws are done LIVE,
- Format are PUBLISHED few months before World Cup,
- Teams get their SCHEDULE.
I know we want to banter but it's LAME if you continue to say FIFA Is setting up the World Cup for Messi.
Some officiating can favour them like a toe offside for Colombia game against Portugal & as you see, it can favour any team.
The tournament was set up for Argentina to play either Spain or Uruguay in the round of 32.
Spain topped their group, Argentina topped their group. So they avoided each other. Uruguay refused to finish second, so they avoided Argentina too and chose to go home.
Now FIFA is responsible for choosing Cabo Verde for Argentina. LOL. This thing don dey turn to mental problem o.
