It is now Obvious that A lot of people(mostly cr7 fans) hate Lionel Messi despite how good he is(may be because of him reaching all above Cristiano Ronaldo).

If you have been following the trends of this concluded FIFA world cup most especially from the Quarter finals, you must have seen how a lot of people had been coming up with conspiracy theories on how Messi and Argentina have "bought" the trophy from FIFA.

Some were saying it was rigged for Argentina
to win because;

1. Argentina were awarded any penalty, those penalties were not supposed to be awarded because, they were "soft" grin.

2. Argentina were facing weak teams instead of strong teams; like why would Argentina face Australia? Why would Croatia lose to Brazil to face Argentina? grin

3. Portugal game against Morocco was refereed by five Argentines referee, that was why they lost to Morocco grin

You can see some of the filmsy reasons some people that analysis football with bitterness and emotions have..

Not to waste your time about this, I want to draw you guys back to 2014, when Messi and Argentina made it to the final and see what some people were saying.
After seeing this you will see that is no longer surprising how these sets of people could be bitter about a Team and one man.

Right back in 2014, immediately Messi and his squad made it to the Final, they had to make a "theory" to discredit and disregard a hard earn victory for Argentina in the Semi finals and also pushed the narrative that Argentina had been put into the system by FIFA(rigging) to win the World cup in 2014..

Whenever Messi is headed for a milestone, some bitter and emotional pained fan base always come up with theories to discredit him and cause bitterness and hatred to a man that doesn't even know that they exist.

Anything Messi wins becomes useless, I heard that they are saying Balloon D'or is now useless because Messi has won it"underservedly" for seven times.

If not that Golden boot is based on individual performance, we would have been hearing another conspiracy theories because Messi won it six times.

Just watch as they win label FIFA BEST as fraud and useless because Messi will win it again.

When Messi was losing finals in 2014, 2015 and 2016 consecutively, it was not script.
It is when Messi wins any thing, it becomes scripted or rigged.

Yesterday most of they were praising Mbappe and was yelling that mbappe should be the MAN OF THE TOURNAMENT because he scored a heart trick in a world cup final.

Imagine that!

So much for a player that was not even rated close to Messi before the Final and the Semi final. Against Morocco and England, he ghosted and was no where to be founded, only when we saw himin the England game was the highlight of him running with Walker to the edge of the box that was the end. In the final he ghosted for 80 mins. We only saw him after he was awarded the second penalty of the game.
The only moment that I can applaud him was for the second goal. But that is not even for him to win Man of the tournament against Messi.

Question to Ronaldo fans that were supporting mbappe: DO YOU THINK MBAPPE COULD TAKE ARGENTINA TO THE FINAL, IF HE WAS IN SHOE OF MESSI? CAN HE SCORE THOSE EIGHT GOALS WITH THAT ARGENTINA SQUAD?

And also imagine if it was Messi that had those two penalties in one match, we won't hear word. They would have cried of "rigging" and "favoritism".

Thank God the game Ended 3-3..

Actually, it was as if God wanted to silence all Messi haters. If the game has ended 2-0 or 2-1, it would've been easier for them to push the narrative that it was rigged but God really has a way to make things square and clean.

To be honest, France didn't do much nor was better than Argentina in that match, it was immediately Di Maria was removed, that France was able to gain themselves. Trust me, if what happened to Argentina in the final 10 mins of the game, happened to any other team, France would have won. You could see that when they got to extra time, Argentina made two attempts or opportunities and scored one. One was lost because of clumsiness of lautro Matinez.

The point is Argentina deserved to win and were better in that competition.
And also we shouldn't hide the fact that this Argentina squad was on a winning since 2019, before the Saudis punctured it..

They are good.
