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.
Why can't rpenaldo fans appreciate how good cape verde were they drawn against spain who are considered favourites to win the win tournament and against Saudi and uruguay too.
🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Leo Messi: "We saw what Cape Verde did vs Spain and Uruguay."
"We knew it was going to be difficult. Nobody is easy in the knockouts."
"Sometimes people underrate other countries, but we were sure it was going to be tough."
Massive wake up call for Argentina. There are no easy matches. You have to give 150% in every single knockout round or you are fucking OUTTA here. Egypt can cook you, Colombia can cook you, Ghana can cook you anyone can cook you. Its the most competitive World Cup of all time
I would actually say Argentina needed something like this.
After something like this there's only 2 possibilities
Either they keep playing timid or they take this as ultra motivation and go onto win the whole tournament
No in between
You’re telling me the only thing that separates Argentina and Cape Verde is 39 year old Messi magic, these players should be embarrassed that an old man is carrying them like this 😭
