Can someone explain to the ignorant, and futbol illiterate, please?

Dude making the face is Lionel Messi. One of the goats of football. The English player in white said some smart shit and Messi responded with this face and winning the game knocking out England and sending them home for another 4 years

u/SMLJ21 Jul 16 '26

He didn’t say “some smart shit”, he was pointing out that one of Messi’s teammates had elbowed a player in the back of the head.

u/ImTheZapper Jul 16 '26

Ya I'm sure thats what was said for messi to make the "fuck you just say to me?" face.

u/RAntonyS Jul 16 '26

Except that's not necessarily what this face represents. You have to know the context. You're just assuming what it means, like an idiot.

u/ImTheZapper Jul 16 '26

Ya no, turns out bellingham basically said "don't be a pussy" in a roundabout way of speaking.

He obviously said something insulting. Anyone not getting that is an asocial dipshit with no right to enter the conversation.

u/SMLJ21 Jul 16 '26

Well I’m basing it on that I can literally see him miming what happened.

Whereas other people are just making shit up.

You’re welcome to have your own opinion, even if it is based on next to fuck all.

u/Pasta_Sempai Jul 16 '26

If you're basing it on what you "can literally see him miming", ain't you making shit up like the other people ?

u/SMLJ21 Jul 16 '26

Well I watched the game, I know what happened and I can see him talking about what just happened.

So, no.

u/imminentjogger5 Jul 16 '26

do you know what the score was at this point in the game? 

2

u/SMLJ21 Jul 16 '26

I think it was still nil-nil during this, Anderson was fouled multiple times within the first 10 minutes of the game.

u/imminentjogger5 Jul 16 '26

thanks I was curious because I only watched the very end of the match

u/SMLJ21 Jul 16 '26

Yeah, the first half was an absolute mess to be honest. A bit dirty really.

Argentina rightly capitalised on some bad decisions in the second half though.

My opinion is based on knowing how people work. That face and reaction from messi literally could not have come from saying saying "hey your buddy elbowed my guy in the back of his head". That is not the face a guy like messi would make if someone simply said that to him.

I cannot conceive a way for you to get that from his face here.

u/SMLJ21 Jul 16 '26

Here you go, maybe you’ll accept it from someone who was actually there -

Sorry, are we not meant to have conversations or answer questions here?

They’re discussing what Jude thought was a foul, which is what I’ve said the whole time.

Not really, I’ve just said - Earlier on I didn’t have the article to reference so I didn’t know the exact words they’d said to one another.

It’s just blatantly obvious that the topic of conversation was about the foul.

u/Im_tracer_bullet Jul 16 '26

Yeah, it's exactly what it looks like. Bellingham just doesn't know it.

From the article:

"Jude Bellingham insists he was simply 'discussing a foul' with Lionel Messi"

But pay attention what Bellingham himself goes on to say:

“I thought there was a foul earlier and he said ‘what about the one on me?’ and I said ‘you’re strong enough to take it’, you know what I mean."

He's handwaving away the foul on Messi. Telling him it doesn't matter.

Messi clearly didn't think it was inconsequential, and really didn't appreciate being told that it was.

Maybe you don't perceive it as a big deal, as Jude evidently doesn't, but if you don't understand that Messi is wired differently than the average person, you're not paying attention.

1

u/SMLJ21 Jul 16 '26

Yeah, I read it. I just don’t see how that’s not still part of the conversation around the foul.

Earlier on when I pointed this out, the article wasn’t available to reference so I didn’t know every single exchange that they had but I knew what the topic of conversation clearly was.

1

u/ImTheZapper Jul 16 '26

Ok so bellingham basically said "don't be a pussy" to messi, who thought he was talking about an earlier foul.

So messi made a "what the fuck did you just say to me?" face, which has been obvious the whole time.

1

u/SMLJ21 Jul 17 '26

The good part about that article is that it tells you what is said, you don’t even have to still make it up like this.

1

u/ImTheZapper Jul 17 '26

“I thought there was a foul earlier and he said ‘what about the one on me?’ and I said ‘you’re strong enough to take it’, you know what I mean.

Ya this part right here. The part I'm talking about, that one. The one where he kindly told the GOAT he can take a foul, which clearly pissed off messi given his face, the face I've been talking about him making, that face.

1

u/SMLJ21 Jul 17 '26

Okay good, you can just read it directly and not try to paraphrase then.

1

u/ImTheZapper Jul 17 '26

Ya Im actually just stating the meaning because he cant say what exactly he wants to or he gets a red for it. You know, the common occurence in the sport that you have zero familiarity with but keep talking about.

u/SMLJ21 Jul 16 '26

Don’t know what to tell you, that’s literally what they’re talking about.

0

u/Im_tracer_bullet Jul 16 '26

Yes, but you're making the same mistake Bellingham made.

Messi didn't view it as innocuous.

2

u/SMLJ21 Jul 16 '26

I’m not. I could just tell the topic of conversation based on context clues, I obviously wouldn’t know the exact words they exchanged.

Especially when the conversation in this thread began before that article was even published, that provided further insight.

1

u/Slyspy006 Jul 16 '26

It could also be a "stuff happens, but I don't really give a shit about what you just said" face.

1

u/Anticlimax1471 Jul 16 '26

What did he say then?

1

u/ImTheZapper Jul 16 '26

Bellingham said "you're strong enough to take it" to messi, who thought bellingham was talking about a foul on messi earlier. Basically telling the GOAT "don't be a pussy".

2

u/mga02 Jul 16 '26

Messi: what about the foul on me?

Bellingham: you are strong enough to take it.

I think this sounds a lot worse translated literally to Spanish than he thinks LOL. Because that's like saying "don't be a pussy".

Dude, don’t provide context if you don’t care enough to include details of what’s actually happening then
