🚨🚨 عــــاجــل - المقابلة الصحفية لـ مصطفى زيكو و هو يبكي بحرقة بعد المباراة.
🗣 " الحكم ظالم، حسبي الله و نعم الوكيل. بيضيع مجهود بلد كاملة."
" الكأس موجهة للأرجنتين."
Messi's football legacy becomes sketchier with every passing day. What do you mean he has not won anything without support from higher ups.
When a player can only perform extraordinarily under extraordinary conditions then he is an ordinary player.
Two of his Champions League titles featured the most controversial matches.
Barca vs Arsenal (Final)
Barca vs Chelsea (Semi final)
His league dominance is currently shadowed with unprecedented corruption in the Nergeira case.
That's at least 50% of what he has ever won.
The Copa America after failing severally to Sanchez and threatening retirement, the tournament's calendar was revised for him.
The WC which was meant to be his crowning moment has been dubbed as the most controversial one ever won.
Why would a player of said caliber have these kind of taints on his career.
Eventually, everyone will admit what majority already know. To win at the expense of others so brazenly diminishes everything that you do.
Messi fans know this and they will admit it soon enough
🚨 Thierry Henry on Argentina knocking Egypt out of the FIFA World Cup:
🗣️ “This one feels like outright daylight theft on the pitch.
I’m not questioning Argentina’s talent they’re stacked with elite players but they didn’t merit the victory tonight.
Egypt fought tooth and nail to establish that two-goal cushion. They showed real grit in defense, flair going forward, and fully deserved every bit of their advantage.
The game shifted because of the officiating, in my view. That early penalty for Argentina already looked questionable, and from then on, it seemed like every big call went against Egypt.
Those moments completely altered the flow and handed Argentina the lifeline they needed.
Egypt will be devastated leaving this competition. They came so close to pulling off what would have been one of their finest triumphs.
Football can be won through moments of genius or through disputed calls and right now, the refereeing decisions will be talked about just as much as the action on the field.”
