Zero Cape Verde players came out questioning the refs and VAR
Meanwhile Modric himself called out the corruption in the Portugal match
They'll screech that FIFA favors Messi but ignore the reality that their guy is the favorite
I haven't seen one bad or disrespectful incident between any argentine and cape verde player, and yet twitter is going crazy with accusations and hate trains. the agenda being pushed is honestly insane
This makes a mockery of the whole tournament.
If the USMNT win, Belgium will have every right to feel cheated, meanwhile the USA’s victory - by their best ever generation of players - will forever be tainted by accusations of favouritism and corruption.
It’s bad for everyone.
Have seen 3 Argentina related “rigged” incidents hit 2-3M+ impressions, 100k+ likes, and literally all of them are lies. Never seen anything like it.
1) Paredes’ foul at the end of the game — clear dive with video proof. Referee was spot on.
2) Messi’s free kick — the referee had blown the whistle, again with clear video proof.
3) Tagliafico not needing to wait for 1 minute before re-entering — the rules clearly state if a player leaves the field of play to stop bleeding or change a blood-stained shirt, they can come back on immediately.
3 super minor actions that weren’t game defining whatsoever getting this much level of scrutiny is already crazy. But to make matters worse, ALL of them are lies. Said I couldn’t even fathom the online reaction if the Portugal game had happened to Argentina and this is why.
The idiocy and hatred these anti-Messi fans have is downright insanity.
Le agradecen por la última pelota que atajó y el tipo dice “Que golazo me metieron el segundo, dejame de joder” jajajaja
Encima después reconoce el trabajo de Cabo Verde y a Vozinha, que tipazo es el Dibu
some of the argentine fans at the stadium were cheering for the cape verde players after the game, but this clip won't go viral because it doesn't fit the agenda
Messi’s greatness is so massive that people have to lower their IQ just to make themselves feel better. He took a free kick after the referee blew but they’re crying because the keeper was not “ready”.
Same guys that celebrate “corner taken quicky” by Trent against Messi 😭
