Messi rewrote the record books with a hat trick

 

Shocking, the Mexican'ts are crying about stuff that has nothing to do with them. Shocking.

 

And he might’ve gotten a red card in the 31st minute. Messi’s rules.

 

It helps when you play by your own rules. That was a red card for any other player, including Zidane in 1998. And any close offside decision can be manipulated by when you freeze the image on the pass. 2022 bias redux. Algeria scored a legit goal. Argentina should have been tied 1-1 and 10 vs. 11 from minute 31.

 

Cope harder cry more ect...

 

What? You know you’re not on X, right?

 

It's off-side in every possible frame you pick, the ball has a sensor.

✅ Correct VAR intervention in the Argentina vs. Algeria match.

That red card for Zidane was complete nonsense btw.

 

Accidental + just grazes the guy. Similar to Messi's in the lack on intention and intensity/force.

 

Does not matter. Argentina should win.

 

Very hard call but I think it is a penalty. One defender got ball the first defender took him out. It's a matter of which action happened first.

 

Messi is just not great at penalties in World Cups historically.

 

Argentina with some chances.

 

Nice goal

 

How does Messi always get into space like that ?

I was going to say it was just Algeria but ......

 

He is a pretty good player.

 

Which makes me laugh even more when people say things like Argentina won the World Cup cause they got a lot of penalties.
Uhhhhh, they still had to make them. Duh.

 

Shakira cheating on Colombia today.

 

Lol

.

 

Close to the second goal.

 

2-0
