As for those bitter penaldo fans always shouting "RIGGED" as if na anthem :-

~It wasn't rigged when penaldo match ban heading into the world cup was overturned so he wouldn't miss one or two matches. .

~When Portugal were 1–0 down against Croatia, came back through a penalty, and Croatia’s late winner was disallowed, it wasn't rigged. .

~When Brazil were awarded two penalties in a single match against Norway, it still wasn't rigged. .

~even in this match It was not "rigged" for 78 minutes… but the moment Argentina scored, suddenly it became rigged.

~Also, Argentina haven’t even scored a single goal from a penalty in this World Cup… but FIFA is still corrupt. .

The only thing you guys and your fake goat from temu knows how to do is to always downplay Messi's achievements and efforts....keep the salty tears coming tho because it's normal for losers to keep on explaining while winners celebrate.🎊.

When he was at Crystal Palace, did you think he was a wizard?

France to win the world cup.

Quote me after the tournament

damere:
Lol, more tears needed from crynaldo fans

webincomeplus:
If it was Argentina that was trailing, the brainless people of the world would have been shouting that the ref added 4 minutes to extra time in a bid to help Argentina get an equalizer at all costs.

Now that Egypt is the "beneficiary", I wonder what they will say.

Explain the wrong officiatings because I didn't see any and I watched the face of the TV all through, not the back

APOPTOSIS:
Thank you MaMa Messi for MESSI
Thank you PaPa Messi for MESSI
Thank you ARGENTINA for MESSI
Thank you Almighty GOD for Messi
Thank you for making me witness this man in my Lifetime. It remains my most cherished moment in soccer history. I am fulfilled.

Thank the man that signed him for Barca at the age of 13 or thereabouts, and decided to treat his growth disorder. People don't know what this short man passed through. I even thought by now, his bones should have gotten tired given what the likes Marcelo and other wicked Madrid player did to him in La Liga back then, coupled with the the effects of the medications he was mandated to take.

Ronaldo fans are funny people.

Just imagine if the Croatia goals that were disallowed against Portugal had been disallowed against Argentina instead. It would have been absolute chaos, with many Ronaldo fans calling for the referee's head and blaming FIFA.

Croatia is now calling for the controversial disallowed goal an abuse of technology (Link: https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/croatia-fifa-abuse-technology-controversial-world-cup-exit-portugal/blta3fc118716982ea6).

> **Football can be cruel, but tonight it felt even crueler for Egypt.**
> Egypt didn't just play Argentina—they outplayed them for large spells of the game. They defended with courage, took their chances, and had the defending champions on the ropes at 2-0. Their goalkeeper was immense, their organization was outstanding, and they looked set to pull off one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history.
> But once again, the talking point wasn't just the football—it was the officiating.
> The incident leading up to Argentina's winning goal will be debated for a long time. Many Egypt fans believe there was a foul on Mac Allister's challenge before Enzo Fernández scored, and the protests after the final whistle showed just how aggrieved they felt.
> There were also moments involving Lisandro Martínez that left supporters questioning whether similar challenges would have been judged differently had the teams been reversed.
> Whether you believe the referee got every decision right or wrong, one thing is undeniable: **Egypt earned the respect of the football world.** They pushed the reigning champions to the absolute limit, and Argentina needed an extraordinary late comeback to survive.
> Football deserves consistency. Fans don't ask for favors—they ask for the same standard of officiating regardless of the badge on the shirt.
> Egypt may be out, but they leave this tournament with their heads held high. The scoreline says Argentina won 3-2. The performance says Egypt proved they belong on football's biggest stage.

If you think the last world cup was "spoonfed", then you don't understand football.

In that final, France got 2 Penalties. If it was a Fifa mastermind, that wouldn't have happened.

No matter how you look at it, it's desperately ridiculous to be a Ronaldo fan!

runningriot:
It seems packing the bus is no longer working as a tactics many people learnt from Paris St. German against Arsenal in the Champions League final and same to Africa countries in the world cup. Literally, it is becoming cumbersome for defending teams to withstand the tempo and pressure of the offensive opponents... Truly this is an advancement in football tactics! In other words no free lunch again you must work to win!!!!

Timijo:
Now, they want Messi to win? CR7 and his delusional fans with blame game when things are not going their way.

Angelfrost:
Erm... You were saying?!!

GuyWise101:
Egypt falling my hands

Angelfrost:
Argentina don score one o.

They are back in the game.

bolaayenimo:
Fifa fraud

Parachoko:
can you bet your money on this?

COOL10:
I've never been a fan of Messi taking penalties. Freekicks? 100%.
Penalties? Definitely not

Rayjay45:
Knowing that, shouldn't Scaloni put him out of his misery and let E. Fernandez run am? He's a decent PK taker.

Timijo:
Messi's penalty loss is a sign that Argentina are going home.

Amerengues2:
As a diehard Messi Fan and Argentina Fan, I didnt expect anything much from this Argentine team- old, tired and exhausted team. A new generation will always come up...Messi has tried. unto the next next level.

Phraences:
Please Egypt abeg deal with Argentina make dem comot.

Lukuluku69:
Absolutely 💯.

Him and the Ciach could have worked it out. Let the young guns do the hardwork, then come in when the game is won, almost won. Come in as super sub, score or assists and your ego will be intact, even more pronounced with the headlines saying Ronaldo rescued Portugal.

But no! It has to be about him. He want to hug the headlines, play 90 minutes as an outfield player when you are 41? This is not the Saudi League. This is the W9rld Cup where the best only get selected for their country.

A real pity that he never learned from great sports people about their end.

Everyone that saw Muhammad Ali in his prime actually feared for his life when he turned 35-38 years. Some told him him to retire but his ego didn't allow him see reason. He knew he couldn't dance again and he was battered and the end result being the Parkinson thing he came down with.

I won't be surprised if he sees himself coming back one more time in 2030

😆 🤣

He has his sight on the 1,000 goals already and his arrival is not too far behind....

So......

Lukuluku69:
CR7 is one of the Greatest Football Player I have ever watched play the beautiful game of Football, mind you I have been watching the World Cup since 1978 and have followed Country and Club Football religiously since the early 80s.

Amongst equals, there will be that one Footballer that we personally would think is better.

I never watched Pele played aside the video clips we all watch now and then, for me the "The Greatest of them" would be Maradona until Messi came.

And during this era, you simply can't ignore CR7. He has been awesome and I think the Competition in him actually takes off marks from his claim to being The GOAT as they say nowadays.

He took it to another level with his utterances, body languages, innuendos and funny enough his fans didn't help him in this matter at all.

When you let them see reasons why another player has more claim ro the GOAT status, they will abuse you just like CR7 himself will do by saying people lack CREDIBILITY for airing their opinions.

He said, Zidane lacked CREDIBILITY, Henry was Jealous, Zlatan was Jealous. Even his Teammates at United were not left out.

Same in Madrid.

By and large, CR7 is an ICON, a Role Model for anyone who believed in hardwork.

GOAT?

He is NOT.

Lukuluku69:
The discourse around Ronaldo and why so many people hate him and make fun of him is due to Ronaldo himself.

When messi won more ballon'Dors
Ronaldo said: "golden shoe is better".

When messi won more golden shoes.
Ronaldo said :"winning trophies with national team is better"

When messi won copa america:
Ronaldo said: "European teams are alot better and harder".

When messi won the world cup
Ronaldo said: "its only a 7 game tournament and started liking posts claiming fifa rigged it".

When messi went to ligue 1
Ronaldo unprovoked said: "Saudi league is more competitive than ligue 1".

The sad truth is, Ronaldo is a loser and fell victim to his OWN narrative he spent years painting. He knew he could never match up to messi and instead of pushing himself, he decided to being down messi's achievements. This isn't someone who is a mentality monster. This person should not be anyone's idol. This is a loser who thought he is greater than he actually was.

All the hate he is receiving is karma. Thats it
