The funniest part about the “Messi is favoured” conspiracy is the idea that FIFA watched him endure four World Cup heartbreaks over 16 years, then one fine afternoon in 2022 suddenly decided, “Right, let’s start rigging it for him now.” 😂
American national anthem before kick off, game not played at night, hydration breaks, dynamic ticket prices, camera panning to celebrities every 25 seconds and a 30 minute HT show still to come
Never let these fucking idiots host it again
Messi is the greatest footballer this planet has ever seen & will ever see
A human being with godlike ability. What he does defies logic & belief. It’s outrageous. Incomprehensible. Almost impossible to accept as real.
I have been a Portugal and Man Utd fan since early 2000’s
I too grew up with Ronaldo my goat
Yesterday I watched my goat walk around waving his arms every time he didn’t receive the ball off the very few runs he made over 90
Today I watched Messi put his country on his back, creating chances, scoring the equalizer and ultimately being a leader
I am sorry I don’t live in a false reality where my childhood decisions mean I must live in some grown man child’s fantasy
So let me get this straight........
Your team has a 2-0 lead up until the 79th minute, and then you go ahead to concede 3 goals in about 15 minutes, and you say it is rigged.
During those 15 minutes, no one tied you down not to defend, the ref didn't give a penalty, in fact you had about two different occasions to attack.
But somehow, you have it in your head that the almighty FIFA waited until the last 15 minutes to start rigging a 90 minutes competition.
🚨🇺🇸 Folarin Balogun will be eligible to face Belgium, after FIFA opted to hand him a suspended one-game ban under Article 27.
The red card stands, but he’s free to play — as @MelissaMOrtiz reported.
🚨 Exclusive: The White House made a direct call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun’s red card.
FIFA approached for comment and referred to the findings of its independent committee.
FIFA sources insist White House influence could not affect the decision due to the powers contained in Article 27 and the independent nature of the disciplinary panel.
