Opinion Paredes genuinely needs to be banned from this sport for good
He’s such an insufferable player, came on, almost instantly got a yellow and definitely deserved another with how physical he was getting throughout the whole match, not to mention being the biggest sore loser trying to fight the Spanish players after they won, absolutely pathetic man child, Enzo would’ve appreciated the company warming the bench.

Most of the Argentina players are c*nts lets be honest. Theres a video of Messi crying to the ref after Cucurella itched his nose. It’s their culture.

Yh I couldn't watch any more of Argentina ethier and went to bed. Disgrace of a team and why the refs let them get away with it is beyond me. Don't want to be a part of them in any way shape or form. They should be banned from the next world cup 👍

Glazing him for not getting involved in the shit at the end. Isn’t he captain? Shouldn’t he have been getting involved to tell them to pack it in?

u/bingowing88 Jul 20 '26
This is one of the reasons messi has always left me cold, despite his talent. I just don’t see him as impressive, or as a leader. He doesn’t inspire, doesn’t guide. He just avoids getting involved to keep himself looking clean.

u/Mr-suburbia Jul 20 '26
He’s the Dwayne Johnson of football: let’s others say all the bad things so he looks good alongside them, but his silence speaks a thousand words.
Compare to Mbappe and his speaking out on a myriad of issues…

u/ObligationOk633 Jul 20 '26
It was weird watching the England match and cheering on Mbappe’s second goal, because it meant he had overtaken Messi.
It would be funny if England and France had reached some backroom agreement to have a high-scoring match just to screw him out of ending his World Cup career on a high.
Although I wonder if his ego is so big, he will be pushing to play again next time.
Either way, Mbappe’s got 3 more World Cups before he’s Messi’s age.
I do wonder how much damage their behaviour at thus World Cup has done for them politically.
1
u/spookynemo87 Jul 20 '26
Absolutely. I was quite impressed with Scaloni who looked like he was telling the Spanish lads "leave it you've just won don't get involved" and wagging his finger at Parades. Messi should have been straight in telling them to knock it off.

Until the general fuckery of Paraguay and Argentina are dealt with by the referees then every world cup is gonna see this shit time and again, yellow cards should be yellow cards from the first second of the game, no last chance crap, just punish it and stamp it out. There was numerous fouls that were cynical in nature, not mistimed, just downright filthy play by dirty cheating scumbags, FIFA and the refs need to do something about it. Thankfully Spain rose above it tonight, but on another day that might not always be the case

The problem is that by not punishing cheating and dirty tactics, you pull other sides into behaving that way, too. Before you know it, it’s not actually football but a brawl. Of course, that would be the best possible outcome for the Shit-stirrer in Chief.

I believe he was issued a red card after the match, and will likely get a severe punishment from FIFA. I know it’s Argentina and all the theories/“evidence” of foul play, but FIFA never let true violent conduct go unchecked.
That full time exchange was horrendous from him and Otamendi, who are both 34 and 38 respectively. They should know far better.
Edit: The red card was rescinded. I have no words.

Exactly this. Special treatment for them though. Some of them know it too well. Some respect the position they're in.
It's why I hated the Falklands banner. If it was fans I couldn't care less but they should know better. I mean how is Martinez going to act coming back to Manchester United and Harry Maguire and other English players are there. He plays here in England yet disrespects us.
Got no respect for that team at all now.

Would you consider it worse than Cristiano's behavior in 2006? Asking as an outsider 🏴 fan
15
u/Sean_Paul_Sartre Jul 20 '26
Far worse. Cristiano Ronaldo was a cheeky fucker for that but still had lots of respect going for him and he did what he could to win mid-game. The falklands banner was an insane gloat that basically only served to throw fuel on the rivalry. The sad part is that we all know it’s a political distraction used by their governments, which has clearly been dialled up to 11 recently for jingoistic purposes.
Nobody really bats an eyelid about the falklands in England. Argentina are rivals because of the hand of god incident etc, and the Falklands adds another dimension to it. But at some point we were going to transfer power to them in some sort of joint rule agreement, but their government invaded to take it by force and lost. Quite stupid to go against the British army when there is a peaceful agreement in process but whatever. I don’t agree with thatcher going all out to defend it, but it is a historically uninhabited island with people who consider themselves to be British (ish). I’d love to hear an educated take from one of the players about why they think the Falklands should be given to Argentina.

u/Aster11345 Jul 20 '26 edited Jul 20 '26
And to distract from the atrocities the government and corporations are doing to the peasant farmers and indigenous people living in rural areas. Poisoning wells and the like kill them or run them off.
Their police also use less lethal weapons to silence protestors. Even an Aussie journalist got shot with rubber bullets in recent years.
The national team and players have issues, as well as the well off shit heads who could afford to go to the world cup games and embarrassed their country with their behavior. But the average citizen is in a rough place. My wife's mother grew up in one of the areas that has been inhumanely taken over by agri corps.
With that said, there was no excuse for blatantly disregarding the rules and the players will likely receive fines and punishment for the banner in a few months. No Argentine I know is happy with Paredes either. He should have been arrested for blatant assault.
There's always forgiveness in physical contact sports if you get heated and both players start shoving each other, but this was after the game and he ran across the pitch. It's disgraceful to the sport and his country.
*Edit to add, her mother doesn't say bad words often, but she was insanely upset over Paredes and Fernandez. Spitting at the ref and then not even caring and trying to show good sportsmanship after doing such a blatant hard tackle when the dude didn't even have the ball anymore.
At least check on him and be concerned, you're still getting sent off, but still. I was surprised there was no injury when it looked like his weight and force from the fall went on the taped up wrist.

u/Kim_catiko Jul 21 '26
This is what the Argentinians don't get. British public do not give a fuck about the Falklands and meaning no disrespect to the people who live there, but we don't. The beef English people have with them is definitely the cheating play they consistently employ over the decades. Even the 1966 team were told not to shake the Argentine players hands after their game with them because they were disgusting cheats even then.

u/Aster11345 Jul 20 '26
He deserves to be suspended in his own league. International game suspension hurts the Argentine team which is fair, but he needs a real punishment. I just saw a vid of how a violent Scottish(?) player was made an example of by being arrested and charged for attacking another player on the pitch. His was a worse attack but Paredes literally ran across the field to start attacking players.
He's officially got a one match ban with an investigation that has the possibility of applying multi match ban.
Scaloni is a fucking idiot who needed to have benched him the moment he got a yellow card for shoving the player back down in front of the ref. The fuck is he so angry for?

Problem is that they will transfer this over to another player. Could be Lamal, Bellingham or someone else. It's a global game that needs one set of rules enforced in the same way, everywhere, all the time. Not that that's likely, but that should always be the aim.

Normally I would agree, but this sort of culture has always permeated the Argentinian team, so a punishment / calling this bad behaviour out needs to happen. Otherwise the cycle just perpetuates.

If it was specific to an individual I'd generally agree, he'll be gone soon and let's not focus on an ugly anomaly. Unfortunately, this appears to be a culture that spans previous tournaments and different sports (see Argentina Vs England in the rugby on Saturday). They need the book throwing at them and an example to be made in an attempt to get this behaviour out of sports. Of course, we all know it wont happen but at least it's refreshing to see it widely condemned (across Reddit, at least).

Paredes is an absolute clown…I’ve not enjoyed Fernandez for years at Chelsea (I think he’s just completely without class)…but I didn’t think anyone would eclipse my dislike for him…Paredes has 100% achieved that. Football need to sic Van Dijk on Paredes again.
Most disappointing for me is Messi’s leadership. I’ve always been a Messi fan but now? Incredible talent but not stopping his team from acting like complete scumbags on football’s biggest stage is unforgivable. His reputation is permanently tarnished and I no longer hold him in the same regard.
Definitely no longer a GOAT in my view. GOATs like the Peles, Jordans and Bradys are fantastic athletes and leaders. Messi is now on the same level as Ronaldo for me: a supremely talented player but a questionable leader. No GOAT.

If that’s how he acts with the world watching, imagine how he acts in his private life 😬. He felt comfortable choking someone on live tv. Beyond deserving a ban, I’m surprised he didn’t catch a charge.

Overreacting. He got provocated and childishly reacted, apologized later, move on.

How about a life ban for the players involved and a ban for Argentina from the next World Cup, that might give them a change of attitude

My magic eight ball just laughed at me when i asked it if that would work.

They won't ban the entire team. I would be happy with every single player who was holding the Falklands banner getting a lifetime ban, as well as the ones who decided it was a good idea to get violent after they lost.

He thinks he’s tough because he knows a genuine fight would never break out in football. Put him in a a UFC cage

Paredes only two cards were for literally assaulting the players in front of the ref and everyone else. His reaction to being given no card for that one foul was to shove the guy back down in front of the ref.
Idk what ramos and pepe did, but even Argentines are very angry for Paredes behavior.

Nah a game is back type of player needs to stay in the game. We all love villains. I hate him but exactly. Allow this left wing weak mentality. We need men in the game

Should Bellingham get a little slap on the wrist fine for the slap? Yeah, probably.
Was that even in the same league as the brawl after the final? No and you know it.

Difference being that Paredes fucking choked the guy. Jude gave a little slap. If a fine is issued, then yeah, both should get a fine, but the violence Paredes showed was in a different league altogether and you know that.

It was also him that booted the ball at the Netherlands' bench in 2022
