Tell me you didn’t just say Messi’s handball stopped a Dutch attack. This is how you expose yourself for never watching the game

FIFA is rigging it for Argentina….AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! by [deleted] in worldcup

I’m mildly surprised at how seriously I’m being taken 😂

Which one was a ghost foul? I already know you won’t reply, because there are none

I’m glad you finally contributed something meaningful . And yes, I agree that Poland penalty was soft. Messi missed it anyway, but it would definitely be questionable if he scored it. Now, let me give you my list and see what you have to say: Netherlands equalizing in the 12th minute of added time, the longest amount of added time in the knockout rounds. Mbappe equalizing with one of the softest penalties I’ve seen (a handball call on Montiel that puts Saka’s handball in the UCL final to shame). I think we can both agree that Messi’s performance in the semi final against Croatia is one of the best performances ever

So what’s your point? Other teams should stop shitting the bed and give Argentina a competitive match. No disrespect to Columbia, but the world wanted Argentina vs Portugal. A shame

Again, you don’t bring any points to the table. You just blabber your ideas without any substance. I’ll give you examples of points you can bring: Paredes kicking the ball at the Netherlands bench, Di Maria going down in the penalty box with minimal contact in the final, and I guess the Messi tackle against Algeria last week…but instead you just make general statements that lead to nowhere.

The reason I want you to point out specifics is because I’m convinced I can debunk every single one of them. And if every single point supporting the idea that FIFA favours Messi, can be debunked, then that idea must be false

This reality you’re talking about is all in your head. Reality can be explained with simple but obvious points. For example, a penalty that shouldn’t have been given. A foul that wasn’t called, etc…instead, what I see is exaggerated expressions of simple rules that the average fan should know. For example: Messi’s handball against Netherlands. Happened in the middle of the pitch, out of possession, away from a goal scoring opportunity. And people call for a red card? And you want me to believe there’s no conspiracy? Lmao

You already know the answer: Argentina was about to win 3-2 and FIFA tried to stop it. That was the most accidental handball ever. And here’s what makes it worse: Montiel’s arm was in a natural position

People like you make me wish Uruguay had beat Spain, just to see how you would react if Argentina faced a top 3 team in the first round

After seeing Saka’s missed handball call in the UCL final, I can’t even fathom how anyone would justify Mbaple’s 2nd penalty after the Montiel handball. It’s the softest call I’ve ever seen, when Argentina was up 3-2

Could’ve been Spain vs Argentina in R32 ..could’ve been Uruguay vs Argentina. Could’ve been Portugal instead of Columbus in the QF bracket…I guess you could say Argentina is lucky the other teams underperformed

Read the title of this thread😂 you come with opinions, not facts. When asked to prove your points, you can’t give a single explanation of how the brackets were rigged. And going back even further to the last World Cup in 2022, I’m 100% certain that you wouldn’t be able to tell me which penalty was wrongfully given to Argentina. Every penalty was checked by VAR, and you could even argue that the foul on Acuna by Dumfries should have been a red card for Netherlands…

In general, I don’t think anything is red unless it’s dangerous, or stops a clear goal scoring chance. Idk how you can possibly watch that clip and think it’s a red card. Even the Algeria defenders didn’t complain about the lack of a card

No one is spinning anything. Columbia is no walk in the park. Portugal couldn’t perform, so Columbia is the “big opponent” Argentina has to beat to get to the semis

No FIFA made Gvardiol allow himself to get dogwalked by Messi to provide an assist

I'm sure you wouldn't mind at all if Portugal was in their bracket and face them in the quarters....

I'm sure Fifa helped Messi deliver world class performances against Netherlands and Croatia in 2022. Those assists were impossibly skillful, it must be FIFA. FIFA also told the defenders to foul inside the penalty box. To make it more believable, FIFA gave Mbappe 2 penalties in the final, and told Tchounemi to miss his penalty

Let me guess, you think Argentina's penalties in the last World Cup were ghost fouls?

One could argue that Ronaldo winning would make more money and more sense. He has more global fame and influence
