    Literally made 10 posts in the WC thread with evidences to support how rigged that stupid tournament was. I’m not going to argue with a closeted messi fan in denial to prove that again.

    Agreed this needs to end. How much do some people here hate Messi and Argentina?

    I can say you need an instance of luck to win tournaments. A moment here and there where God smiles on you and this is every team including Real. But to argue a whole tournament?? Argentina were worthy to get in finals. But let's not get into that.

    Some craziness in the PL today for sure. I am assuming Enzo Fernandez will join Chelsea for €120M, Caicedo may well go to Arsenal but they already failed with a £70M offer. Connor Gallagher could move, James Madisson could move to Newcastle (that one interests me more than the others)

    whoever is coaching that team has managed to keep James motivated. Kudos to that dude

    anyways, those James passes and crosses are always a joy

    Of course there isn't.

    Saudi Arabia - tussle in the box during a corner, if this is a penalty there would be 15 in every game
    Poland - goalkeeper touches Messi's face after the ball is already out of play
    Netherlands - dive
    Croatia - player runs into the goalkeeper ffs
    France - biggest joke of a penalty you can call at 0-0 in a WC finals after the first barely touching contact between players in the box. Complete dive by Dimaria

    Now each one of these can obviously happen in a tournament. Even two can happen and it can be considered as the usual refereeing incompetence or general big country favorization. But five? And three that completely change the course of the game in quarterfinals, semifinals and finals???

    (not to mention a whole bunch of other mistakes in Argentina's favor, unlike for anyone else in the tournament)

    I already see 4x4 made his usual dumb argument that Argentina was better in the finals as if somehow that justifies being given a penalty. How little do you have to understand about the game to think that a goal in the finals at 0-0 completely changes the flow of the game. A team like France can be completely outplayed and still score on one counter. A bogus penalty changes the entire dynamic, morale, gameplan, and from there its just a chaos, as it was, and from that chaos Argentina emerged a winner.

    In a way, turning a game in which one side is the favorite (regardless how it plays, France were shit against Morocco too, they always do as much as they need in order to win) into chaos, is improving the underdog's odds.

    I don't know if it was all rigged but it was consistently shambolic refereeing consistently in clear favor of one team, unlike it was for any other team. If that team won, theres a massive asterisk on its victory, pretty simple.

    The coach is actually our ex player Míchel. It's the worst Olympiacos team I've seen in years but yeah James is playing great.

    Funny part is that Qatar owns PSG, is deeply entrenched in France, and Mbappe is their Golden (Cage) Boy. If anything, they'd rig it for France to win.

    Oh I see. I don't know about that man. At the end of the day I'm sure he loves the lifestyle here. If I'm a player I'd rather play for a top Greek team than Mainz for example if you ask me.

    Deal collapsed, probably due to failed medical as per Fabrizio.

    Watched a lot of Porro and I’ll just say he is gonna a fun add to the EPL. Player that gives his all and is very impactful in attack. Just needs to stay healthy, and hopefully not somehow get on Conte’s bad side. Hope he does well.

    Fresneda didn’t get moved this window. One to keep an eye on.

    It's just dawned on me that Chelsea have spent half a billion pounds on players, but still haven't got a striker...

    No. The ruling family wanted to see Messi lift the trophy in their country. So it can be intertwined with their legacy. Messi [GOAT] wins Qatar 2022; it will never be forgotten.

    LMFAO Qatar doesn't let Mbappe play in his preferred position at their club, they haven't even satisfied his reported "demands" upon which he renewed his contract.

    Mbappe gets an insane paycheck because of his status as a young French superstar icon + was heavily sought after by Flo.

    Hmm yet the game ended 3-3, no?

    Ironic you should mention "penalties" when Argentina's entire title was established on soft penalties in 5/7 games.

    Before every match, instead of predicting who'd win, the real question was: "So when will Messi get his penalty?" like it was a divine right ordained by the Qatari PetroGods.

    But sure, that and the lack of yellow/red cards against Argentina throughout the tournament were pure coincidence. Luck.

    No favoring, no scripting, no rigging. FIFA and Qatar would never do that.
