The funny thing about today was …
We’ve ALL on here repeatedly said how poorly the African teams play in the last 10-20 minutes of these matches esp when they are leading.
But TODAY it’s because Argentina has paid off the referees/FIFA??
Yeah man. Sensible argument. 🤭
I don't know what prompted Messi to make the decision to go to the Right wing after Egypt made it 2-0
It's almost as if he told himself he's going back 11 years.
Once he went to the right wing he started dribbling like he was 27 again. He almost willed himself to become younger
Despite all the hate watches and the other discourse just remember who came to Kingston, half-injured, on a dodgy pitch, just to give Jamaican football lovers joy.
One Lionel Andres Messi.
Streets won’t forget.

🚨🎙️Reporter: “Wayne, a lot of people are saying that challenge was a clear red card. What’s your take?”
🗣️Wayne Rooney: “A red card? Never. I’ve watched football long enough to know the difference between a hard challenge and a sending-off. The funny thing is, the outrage only seems this loud because it’s Messi involved. If that was any other player, we’d have moved on within five minutes.”
🎙️Reporter: “So you think people are overreacting?”
🗣️Rooney: “Absolutely. Every little incident becomes a global crisis when Messi is on the pitch. People are crying for a red card because it fits the narrative they want. For me, it’s a foul, nothing more. Football has become far too dramatic.”
