A perfect angle of Messi asking Alvarez to pass to Lautaro that led to the 3rd goal.
Elite scanning.
Just like Pep said, he’s moving his head every second, he has the map of the pitch right in his head.
Genius.
For the new Messi fans let me tell you, the accusations of Messi being favoured by fifa is not new. In pep era barca were so good that they labled them as Uefalona.
He is making them cry since 2 decades now, enjoy this ride you will not get this back Messi fans.
Not sad at all. Since the last World Cup, the tactic has been to undermine Argentina. Every opponent from the QF to the final was supposedly going to beat them, until they didn’t. Then the narrative switched to corruption. Keep crying.
Leo Messi: "I cried because I was really frustrated because of the penalty I missed and the way I took it, because I think if I had scored the penalty, the game would’ve gone differently, because we were playing well despite the goal they scored against us.
"Even after the missed penalty, we still created clear chances. We were playing well and in the end, being able to get the equalizer and then come back to win was a huge relief, a release, and above all, great happiness to still be here.
"We didn’t want to go home, and we couldn’t let it end like that. This group deserved to keep going."
🚨 Leo Messi: "I felt that at an important moment, I let my teammates down because of the penalty I missed and the way I took it.
"But thankfully once again, God had something special prepared for me in the end.
"I'm very happy."
I can’t believe everytime Argentina plays and a 39 year old man scores a goal everyone is some kind of human rights activist who have masters degrees in race relations and international politics
@kojohanson_ clearly to you and the rest it was enough, to the officials it wasn’t. like I said those “fouls” are only been talked about because of the narrative around Argentina and that Egypt goal being disallowed. in isolation, it’s just forced controversy.
@kojohanson_ you’re aware var reviews every single goal that goes in right? they literally only send the ref to the monitor if they believe there’s enough in there for the ref to take a decision. should i add the added context that these are literally french referees ? no?
