He was so gassed after 120 minutes against the Netherlands while carrying a hamstring injury, he then proceeded to do it all over again against France 4 days later. He wasn’t fully fit the entire tournament and this isn’t talked about enough
I can understand Brazil fans defending this, they are clutching at straws because they have to put up with this extremely mediocre team of Brazil where the likes of Ronaldo and Ronaldinho have been replaced by Jesus and Rodrygo.
But what excuse do Madrid fans have for defending this behaviour? Forget Rodrygo's age and stature in this game, trying to talk smack with Messi and not even being able to back it up.
He literally called Messi a COWARD for walking off because Messi wanted the authorities to get control over the situation where his countrymen were being beaten to death.
Imagine Madrid fans if this match was an El Clasico and their captain decided to call his troops off the field as the Catalan police were beating Madrid fans to a bloody pulp. Then he came back and Gavi called him a coward for walking off the field.
Gavi would basically be declared the reincarnation of Hitler for doing that but Rodrygo gets to accuse Argentines of racism after sh1tting the bed and gets away with it.
Madridstas are the biggest hypocrites on the planet who can only spot racism when it suits their agenda. Not when Alaba gets racially abused bc he dare voted MESSI for FIFA Best 😱😱😱
This is Ronaldo's world cup final.
He's gonna be tryharding and begging the ref for a pen at every opportunity while Messi walks around scratching his balls.
Gonna be a blast
