If you think the World Cup is really rigged in favour of Argentina and Messi, go ahead and bet your entire net worth on them winning the final. Stop chatting shit online and put your money where your mouth is.
@Phoenix9169 I love facts. Because they dismantle ideologies because they seem true to your perspective snd what fits your narrative. The truth will always be the answer
6 World Cups , 0 player of the tournament. Even Modric won the World Cup Golden ball with Croatia as a Midfielder
6 Euros campaigns, 0 player of the tournament. Even Donnarumma won it as a goalkeeper
4 Nations league campaigns, 0 player of the tournament. Even Nuno Mendes won it with the same Portugal team as a Defender
Ronaldo has been carried by his Portugal teammates and that’s why if they don’t perform, he becomes a log of wood.
@awooo44@Phoenix9169 Depends on how you look at it, individually he still was a beast, result wise didnt get so mich in terms of this category. But at the ens of the day if you enjoy watching a big talent u probably would say that he showcased a lot of hope and future
@Phoenix9169 Hahah whats the point?, the most decorated player has 11 more pictures of trophies. Even trophies a specific player hasnt won because he is 41 and his teamates dont pass him the ball 🤣
@Phoenix9169 Okay i get all that, but why arent you putting up the same about other players who also benefit from the same ”refereing mistakes” in curious to why people see messi as a scape goat to blame acting like ronaldo havnt won 4 CL with offsides etc etc etc
🚨 Pierluigi Collina dismisses comparisons between Lionel Messi's challenge and Folarin Balogun's red card:
🗣“One of the biggest mistakes in football is assuming that two incidents are identical simply because they look similar. Referees are instructed to judge every challenge based on the specific details of that action.
In Messi's case, the contact is brief and he immediately withdraws his foot. There is no significant follow-through or excessive force. It may be considered a foul, but that alone does not make it a sending-off offence.
Balogun's challenge is different. Whether the contact was intentional or accidental is not the only consideration. The referee must evaluate the point of contact, the force used, the follow-through and, most importantly, whether the challenge endangered the safety of the opponent. Those are the factors that determine whether serious foul play has occurred.
Football supporters often compare two incidents from different matches, but referees cannot officiate that way. Every challenge has its own context and must be judged on its own merits under the Laws of the Game.
For me, it is entirely possible for both decisions to be correct. Messi's challenge does not automatically deserve a red card simply because another player was sent off for a different incident. The details of each challenge matter, and in this case the level of danger in Balogun's tackle was clearly greater.”
