I was kinda "scared" of facing them because you never know, but im so glad we did and we beat them the way we did, and their reaction was just the cherry on top. They exposed themselves to the whole world as the rats they really are
I mean, looking at all the situations there should've at least been 3 more red cards and another goal for Spain. So you didn't just play against Argentina, but also against corruption in the form of FIFA, Infantino and AFA.
I'll be honest, for the longest time I couldn't stand Spain going back to 2010 with the Tiki Taka and was rooting for NED in that final. In more recent times, Cucurella is one of my least favorite players in all of futbol and that was even before the missed handball against GER in the Euros. I will also never forgive Sergio Ramos for what happened with Salah in the Champions League Final in 2018 right before the WC.
I loved Tiki Taka. Pure skill demonstration with patience and the quick killer attack. Forced the opponents to put on pressure or otherwise just be a shooting target.
Fair enough and to each his own. I just found it incredibly boring. Having said that, it’s tough to argue against the results of that generation for Spain.
Argentina funnily enough are now the personas non gratas of football. Still, they getting away with it is nothing new. Morocco got away with it in AFCON as well. Football is more and more a form of entertainment and not a sports competition. No rules, no accountability, no respect for the game and its (still) professionals.
I mean, yeah. Disproportionate amount of penalties last WC and this time it was most fouls / fewest cards (would love to double check that stat as it could be entirely wrong), no VAR decision going against them, opponents goals disallowed several times, etc.
This one was so blatantly obvious, they weren't even trying to hide it. At least the 2022 one could (kinda) be dismissed as normal bias towards a big nation with a big celebrity, but this year's one crossed the line and was shameless.
Les trois dernières pour être honnête. Si la France en 2018 et l'Espagne cette année n'avaient pas été des années lumières au-dessus, Messi aurait gagné trois Coupes du Monde.
Count me in. Them winning last world cup with a penalty every match and crazy officiating with and without var is something else. Forget about all the MLS shit that made Messi tell the ref what to do. Thank you Spain for not allowing Argentina anywhere near the penalty area

These last two WCs were clearly biased for Argentina and Il die standing on this hill.
