🚨 Before the match kicked off, Lionel Messi was heard telling his teammates: "Let's stay calm. Let's forget everything and try to focus on the game." At that very moment, Lisandro Martínez and Enzo Fernández were seen crying in a corner of the dressing room. So, what actually happened? Or what could have happened? There were many unusual incidents surrounding this match. Here's a summary from the beginning:

In every Argentina match, AFA President Claudio Tapia and CONMEBOL President Alejandro Domínguez were present, but neither was seen at the final. Messi's wife, children, parents, and relatives—who had attended every previous match—were also absent.

Lisandro Martínez and Cristian Romero suddenly got injured, despite being the type of players who would normally continue playing even if they were bleeding.

Argentina committed 25 fouls and received 6 yellow cards and 1 red card. Spain committed 21 fouls but did not receive a single card.

There were an unusually high number of misplaced passes and mistakes throughout the match.

Giovani Lo Celso was reportedly not brought on after holding a Falklands banner the previous day. Lisandro Martínez had also held the same banner.

Many Spanish legends were shown on camera, but no Argentine legends were seen, even though in previous matches players like Lavezzi, Pastore, Agüero, and Tévez had been present.

Enzo Fernández received his first yellow card for arguing with the referee, even though he was the one who had been fouled.

The final was officiated by a European referee under whom Argentina had never won a match.

Lionel Scaloni looked completely devastated after the match.

Enzo Fernández later posted on Instagram: "As time goes by, people will better understand how dedicated we were to winning this World Cup."

Scaloni lives in Spain. Did concerns about the safety of his wife and children play any role?

In the post-match press conference, Scaloni said he was deeply disappointed by what the team had gone through before the final. So, what really happened before the World Cup final?

There was a confrontation involving Leandro Paredes, and Nicolás Otamendi was seen furious at Rodri.

Lautaro Martínez was barely seen after the match, and he was hardly visible on the bench during the game either.

After the match, no Argentine player spoke to the media. The only person who gave any statement was Scaloni in the press conference.

Scaloni left the press conference in tears before it had even finished.

Argentina, the tournament's highest-scoring team up to the semifinals, failed to register even a single shot on target in the final.

Before kickoff, betting websites gave Argentina lower odds and Spain higher odds. Why was that the case when Argentina were the defending champions?

The players looked cheerful while getting off the team bus. What happened after they entered the dressing room that caused such a dramatic change in mood?

How could Romero and Lisandro—players known for giving everything on the pitch—ask to be substituted?

During the World Cup, a legal case was reportedly filed against the AFA president over alleged irregularities involving transfer funds at an Argentine club. But if it was a club transfer issue, why was FIFA allegedly involved in filing a case against the AFA president?

There are still many unanswered questions. The same Argentina team that outplayed a prime France side in the heat of Qatar suddenly looked completely different. What really happened after they entered the dressing room? Was there some kind of conspiracy?

Note: This footage was reportedly captured by ESPN's cameras. Why wasn't any of it shown on FIFA's official live broadcast?

If you want to win bet, allow money to guide you on the team to stand with...that way, you have cut off emotions from the equation...

Money doesn't understand sentiments or human emotions, to win bet, you must understand how money works...

Why do you think that those who work the hardest are always the less wealthy in the society, if you look at that situation from emotional angle, any hardworking person should be the most wealthy person in the society, but money doesn't follow that logic.

Money follows discipline and believe.... These two things kills doubts...

A lot of people lose bets because they're not discipline enough and have lost their believe, so they end up flowing with the tide.

Did we watch the same final?

I strongly believe this op...that match was sold.

Even Messi didn't give his best as usual of him....he was too relaxed.

Argentina players refused to move ball forward as if they had no intention to score or win. I complained this to a friend on that day.


Op, I believe you....this is a very big revelation

It is only someone that doesn't know much about ball will bet that Argentina will win, it was obvious that Argentina won't lift the cup, the match against Cape Verde summarised everything for a good football analyst needed, assuming they met France, it would have been thesame story, England would have won them assuming the coach of England made the right selection.

Are you talking about same Argentina that cleverly lureing Spain to penalty?

You don't know football.
That Argentina team was poor from the beginning of the tournament.

This is pure conspiracy theory
