He was on the verge of a historic achievement but ruined it himself with poor substitutions and time management. Now, he is complaining because his team was not coached well enough to hold a 2-0 lead for over 20 minutes. Argentina won fair and square.
3. The foul on Licha preceding Egypt's disallowed goal. A clear foul. Attia steps on Lisandro's supporting foot, preventing him from continuing the play. While it's not a high-intensity stomp, it's enough to prevent the advance, as the Argentine can't continue with his stride.
It's always the same pattern: when things are going against Argentina, there's complete silence about conspiracies.
But the moment Messi changes the game, and Argentina win, the "rigged" narratives suddenly appear.
At some point, it stops looking like objective criticism and starts looking like people simply refusing to give credit where it's due.
All the self-proclaimed FIFA experts on Twitter are crying about the referee giving or not giving yellow cards against Argentina.
Meanwhile, this challenge didn't get a yellow card, and nobody said a word about it. I was actually surprised the referee didn't show a single yellow card until the 92nd minute.
And for those who don't watch football regularly: if you take off your shirt during a match—even while celebrating a real or disallowed goal—you will get a yellow card.
Funny enough, the same player later gave an interview claiming the game was rigged. 🤣🤣🤣
@roshinnyuukai I had that same exact model as a kid omg. It should be able to plug into any outlet fine, given that it has the right cord for your country's type of plug.
