๐จ๐๏ธ Roy Keane on Messiโs career ending tackle overlooked by VAR and the referee ;
๐ฃ๏ธโAfter the match yesterday all you see is Messiโs praises everywhere, the hype, the headlines, the hat-trick talk. Yeah, maybe he deserves some of it โ the lad can still play.
But no one wants to say the truth. No one wants to address what went wrong yesterday.
That challenge was an absolute disgrace. Late, studs up, straight into the Achilles โ career-ending territory. On any other player, anywhere else, itโs a straight red card and youโre marching off before half-time. But not when itโs Messi.
The referee bottles it, VAR takes a quick look and says โnah, carry on lad.โ Give me a break!
This is the World Cup, the biggest stage in the game. This is where the rules are supposed to mean something. Not bent, not softened, not ignored because of the name on the back of the jersey. Players have been sent off for half as much in this tournament. Whereโs the consistency? Do the laws of the game suddenly not apply when itโs Lionel Messi?
This is why the gameโs gone soft. Big names get protected, the rest get crucified. Absolute joke of officiating on the greatest stage of all.โ
nothing more embarrassing than getting shot wid your own strap, but getting shot with your own strap because you're being a professional entourage member defending a artiste is a different galaxy of aura debt. Who go tek you serious after that
