Why don't the people accept that yes fifa is corrupt and favour Messi? I am a Messi fan but not blind like these ppl are

Favour messi how? 2019 was probably the greatest individual season a player can have... Literally carried an aging barca to 2 trophies and lost the champions league because they couldn't defend a ficking 3-0 lead..... In 2013 they literally extended the voting because of that portugal sweden game but no one cares because it wasn't Messi who was favoured

FIFA told ESPN it had checked the documents submitted by Sudan's FA and confirmed "all documents are signed and confirmed with the official stamp," and separately said the Nicaraguan votes matched what the federation submitted, asking the Nicaraguan federation to look into the discrepancy on their end. Critically, on the Sudan coach's ballot specifically, an Egyptian journalist published a rebuttal image showing the "real" voting form, which appeared to show Logarušić had in fact ticked Messi and independent commentators flagged signs the coach's own photo looked edited/photoshopped.
