Argentina gained a new fan
I supported them because I wanted to see Messi win, but now I can say I will support them next time and every time too, because nobody loves football and fights for their country against all disrespect like them. 🇦🇷
Argentina never got the respect they deserved.
I’ve never seen a national team receive this much hate for simply winning. Instead of giving credit to a team that has dominated world football for the last five years, social media became full of edited clips, AI-generated images, fake quotes, misleading posts and out-of-context videos, all made to discredit what this team achieved.
The worst part is that many people didn’t even care if it was true. If it got engagement, they shared it. If it pushed another anti-Argentina narrative, they believed it. That’s how low football discussion became. Imagine how empty your life has to be that your only way of getting attention is by spreading lies and fake propaganda about other people.
Every foul was analyzed frame by frame. Every referee decision became a conspiracy. Every victory had to come with an excuse. I’ve never seen another team get microanalyzed like this just because they kept winning.
A lot of this comes down to one thing: Lionel Messi, who is far better player than their favorite player, far better, far talented and achieved far more in the sport so as they see that Messi is better than their favorite player, instead of accepting it they looked for ways to discredit him and the team around him.
During this World Cup, people threw every label they could at Argentina. Racists. Zionists. Cheaters. Corrupt. All based on viral posts, fake quotes, edited clips or AI-generated content, without caring whether any of it was actually true.
They spent years trying to convince people that Argentina and these players didn’t deserve what they achieved.
The truth is that, they couldn’t accept that Lionel Messi and this generation reached a level their favorites never did.
No amount of propaganda can rewrite football history. And history will remember this Argentina team as one of the best international sides ever.
Thank you for everything.
Dropping one of the best World Cup campaigns at the age of 39.
Greatest sportsman of all time.
Greatest player in history of the sport.
🎙Emiliano Martínez on Lionel Messi saying he has already completed football after winning the FIFA World Cup in Qatar:
🗣"Of course he has completed football. What else is there left for him to prove? He's not chasing validation anymore,he's chasing history.
People are uncomfortable hearing it because it's Messi saying it, but it's the truth. He's the only footballer in history who can genuinely say he has won and achieved everything the sport has to offer.
For nearly two decades, people have tried to discredit everything he has done. When he wins, they say the team carried him. When Argentina win, they say someone else deserved the credit. It's always been excuse after excuse whenever Messi achieves something.
The funny thing is that if you actually watch football, you'll realize Messi was decisive in every major trophy he has won. He didn't sit back and watch others do the work,he led his teams when it mattered most.
And now people want to call him arrogant for saying he has completed football? That's ridiculous. If Lionel Messi can't say he has completed football, then nobody can.
He has never gone around bragging about his achievements. He's spent his entire career letting his football do the talking while others tried to rewrite his story.
Winning another World Cup won't complete his career,it was already completed in Qatar. Anything he achieves from this point onward is simply adding more pages to a story that no one else in football has been able to write."
📢 Nico Paz reacts to having no game time at all this World cup:
"Of course every player wants to be on the pitch, especially at a World Cup. It wasn't easy watching from the bench, but I also understand the level of competition in this Argentina squad. Being here, learning from players like Messi, Enzo and Julián every day is an experience that will make me better. My job is to keep working so that next time the coach has no choice but to use me. This tournament is motivation, not disappointment."
