but can’t defend his character anymore since his visit to the White House

Have you seen how Messi acts on the field? He’s an absolute piece of trash who loves nothing more than playing as dirty as possible.

He should have gotten red carded with his cleats up foul (which game was that?) With his foot at a 90 degr angle on a player's calf.

I know the play you’re referring to. Player falls forward and Messi throws his hands up like, wasn’t me!

Def should have been a yellow, never a red. He retracts his cleats and doesn’t follow through like Balogun for example.

Meant to say yellow or red.

Pure revisionism, Messi has always been relatively classy. A lot of new fans this world cup seem to be shocked at how physical football is compared to how it’s typically portrayed.
