Funny thing is, Portugal used to be my favourite team before Ronaldo, I stopped supporting them because of CR7. Conversely, I disliked Argentina until Messi came, he’s the reason I support Argentina

Because Messi is a genuinely nice guy, while CR7 is an a*sh*le

Afromentalist:
Even with Messi, I don't support that team.

Mattswaggz:
Those slow pokes will avoid this important question.

Come on now, you must acknowledge the greatest that ever played the game

HelenaWills:
So?
Blacks don't hate blacks?

There is hate, then there is official govt policy of disappearing the people entirely based on skin colour

Wizardslayer:
I back Argentina because of Messi.

The only relationship I've with Argentina is because of Messi.

You speak for vast majority of Nigerians

Mattswaggz:
So how many white players are in Senegal?.

Good question. How many white players are in Nigeria next door. Then compare to how many black players are in Brazil next door

Bluna:
With or without Messi, I can't support Argentina

Come now, you do have to acknowledge GOAT when you encounter it

Mattswaggz:
Of a truth, the answer is NO.....apart from Messi, the only Argentinian player that was fascinating recently was Di Maria(now retired) and probably De Paul(due to his love for Messi) and maybe J.Alvarez.......I am not a fan of the rest of the squad hence without Messi, my support is gone.

You speak the mind of 90% Nigerians. Brazil, next dior to Argentina, has lots of blacks

Olat4421:
Omo once Messi stop playing for Argentina am done supporting dem

About 90% Nigerians agree with you

omoredia:
You call Argentina racist but u worship the deity of racist Arabs. Make it make sense

So how come Arab countries have some blacks playing, but Argentina emphatically doesn't and very proud of it?

Mrchippychappy:
Even with Messi, I no dey support those degenerate racist scum country

But you at least have to acknowledge GOAT when you encounter it

fredoooooo:
WE SUPPORT MESSI NOT ARGENTINA ..

Gbambusolutely

Kobojunkie:
1.Why does it have to do only what other countries before it have?

2. For over 1000 years, Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, and Egypt practiced something close to the Blancheamiento. They are openly racist against their fellow black Africans, and they are proud of it, too. Ishowspeedy was openly heckled and called a monkey in one of those countries. No one says much of it.

In South Africa, black Africans are racist against their White African brothers as well. The same things happened in Zimbabwe. Many of the white Africans in those two nations had to flee the country... 1000s of them in just the last 2 decades alone.

What is clear is that racism goes beyond just one color. Everyone or every group engages in it, and no one group can claim they are the only victims in this.

Well, It would seem other countries try to hide it or a little bit ashamed of it while Argentina seems proud of it. Can you find a country with this type of headline below

Okechinwadike:
you make a very valid point, why i like messi is just that he knows how to play football

Me too. He's simply the GOAT. Followed by Pele

Ebenezer2021:
after Argentina won the Copa America, Enzo Fernandez and the rest of the Argentine players including Messi composed a song calling France a team filled with monkies.

Ebenezer2021:
Messi was part of the Argentine squad that composed a song against France and called them monkies

Messi specifically denounced it

Mirasteel:
Messi is the reason why I am supporting Argentina.

The only reason in fact

Kobojunkie:
Racism is a culture that is also common among black people, so can we quit with the pretence?

But has any other country ever officially instituted "Blancheamiento" (whitening) state policy as shown below?
Suppose SA whites had done same? They'd just deport those SA blacks to other African countries and import whites from all over the world and today SA will be all white. Also, from what I read, Argentinians seem proud of being racist, unlike most countries!

Flangelo12:
Ronaldo should.be compared with the likes of Alan Shearer, Inzaghi, Schevcheko.

Not Messi.

What nonsense.

Exactly. I like being honest

Seunpapa65:
Rest jare pessi na fraud the same thing was awarded as a penalty for Argentina against Netherlands in FIFA world cup 2022 but salah own no be penalty 🤣🤣

Go and watch it carefully. Salah was lucky he didn't get booked for diving

Ibadanfarmroad:
which of the World Cup ? 🤣🤣🤣this has been one of the most exciting world cups ever.
Jealousy go wound you o

This tells you that people's perspective on a thing has to do with they themselves, NOT the thing itself!😅

Zionmdde:
All I know from the Switzerland match is that Embolo got what he deserved, period

All this Ronaldo Messi thing is robbing football lovers of the ability to appreciate that it will take ages before we see their kind again. Instead of enjoying them, we keep antagonizing one or the other

But you are mentioning Ronaldo and Messi in same sentence as if they are comparable. That's a mistake

gigabyte13:
The most boring world cup
I have ever watched
Very very boring.
No excitement whatsoever.

See this one. Where have you been hiding? Quite the opposite. Dramatic comebacks and controversies all over. The most exciting wc so far

Go and sit down. Argentina that was almost eliminated by Egypt. How did FIFA know they'd score 3 goals within 10 minutes after not scoring all match long??

Jakarta:
Childish of you to assume I'm a Messi fan, or an Argentina supporter, I support Ronaldo not because he's better than Messi. I support Ronaldo because he's a source of motivation to me. But both of them are good.

As for racism, let's not be hypocritical. Racism and discrimination exist everywhere. South Africa has had xenophobic attacks against fellow Africans. No Western country is completely free of racism either. Even here in Nigeria, we discriminate against ourselves with tribal insults and name calling.

If we're going to condemn discrimination, then we should do it consistently, not only when it suits us, giving a dog a bad name just to hange it is totally uncalled for.

I get. I just assume almost everyone is a Messi fan because he's such a nice guy.
As for racism, which other country has ever set "Blancheamiento" (whitening) as official state policy as shown below? Suppose SA whites had done same? They'd just deport those SA blacks to other African countries and import whites from all over and today SA will be lily white. Also, from what I read, Argentinians seem proud of being racist!

Goo0dHardDick:
Is Argentina a black country? Dude stop this unnecessary and unhealthy comparison

As promised, see it below

Goo0dHardDick:
Is Argentina a black country? Dude stop this unnecessary and unhealthy comparison

That's the point. It used to be 40% black. Today it is less than 1% black. I'd find it and post it here.

By comparison US is less than 15% black yet blacks seem to be all over. Now compare to 40% black!

Kylekent59:
You are a failure.


The moment you bright Christano Ronaldo, you became pointless. What does he have to do with Argentina topic?

I always wonder how CR7 conned the world into comparing him with Messi. The big three are Pele, Maradona, and Messi. And Messi is the greatest of the three!

Kylekent59:
I cannot support anyone from a racist country.

A country with no Black man, or black players and yet we have people worshipping them, more like Nigerian slaves who worship Messi


Capital no.

Now, now, I don’t think Messi is racist at all. I think he's just a humble, nice guy (unlike, say, CR7), who just happens to be the greatest player to ever play the game!

QuinQQ:
From the comments it seems they're ignorant rather than racist - they don't know what they're doing

I see your point - to an extent.
At a certain level they must know it is not very nice to be calling people monkies

MT:
If it was mathematics, then the top ranked four should have ALWAYS appeared at the semi final in all the previous editions.

This year's own is just a coincidence. Even AI prediction failed.

There is a branch of mathematics called Probability. So it is still all mathematics
