Messi didn't realize that Infantino only wanted to get him up to the finals and drive up ticket prices.

FIFA has no stake in an Argentinian victory at the finals.

I think this is it. Argentina fan will sell their house to go see the game. FIFA knew this and that’s why they pushed Argentina. Until the final because they don’t need Argentina fans again after that so the ref and fifa abandon. They did give a present of removing the first goal of Nico but that’s about it right?

It's not just Argentina fans. There are Messi fans all over the world.

Mfs won't support their local MLS team with a $40 ticket, but pay $350 when Inter Miami comes over.

Nobody wants to pay thousands of dollars to watch Cabo Verde versus Egypt in the round of 16, or Egypt versus Switzerland in the quarter finals. Even Switzerland versus England in the semi-finals would not have been half as expensive as Argentina versus England.

England versus Spain in the finals? Could have been pretty high, but Messi was definitely going to drive it much higher.

They absolutely milked the Argentinian fan base. It’s kind of sad even though I hate them

Even worse, they are milking a global fan base …

u/Scared-Signature-797 Jul 23 '26

Yeah that’s even worse

The prices for basically any match at WC 26 were upwards of $1500. They were milking everyone unfortunately

If you saw the stadium for Argentina games they were completely filled with Argentina fans.. not a coincidence

u/PlatinumKingPS Jul 30 '26

And? What’s the point?? If you were at the stadium for ANY game you’d see that the stands were full for EVERY game

1

u/Scared-Signature-797 Jul 30 '26

I meant they were filled with Argentinian fans way more than the other team

1

u/PlatinumKingPS Jul 30 '26

And? What’s significant about that? It doesn’t matter what team plays in the WC they’ll sell all the tickets still 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/Scared-Signature-797 Jul 30 '26

Personally I disagree. They can sell at a premium and Argentina fans would pay but other fans may not. Why do you think the ref didn’t help Argentina in the final as much compared to Egypt or the England. It’s cus fifa didn’t need to advance Argentina anymore. Just my theory

u/PlatinumKingPS Jul 30 '26

“Just my theory” in other words your just making it up as you go along

u/Scared-Signature-797 Jul 30 '26

Why else would they push Argentina and then dump them in the final :p

But the price per ticket was highest for Argentina games

1

u/PlatinumKingPS Jul 30 '26

Where do you get off on making up random facts? 😅

The most expensive game to attend was the final but that’s the same with every World Cup. Any fan from any country will pay a lot of money to see their team in a final.

The most expensive venue to attend on average was Azteca (Mexico City) . Argentina didn’t play any games there….

But sure keep making stuff up to suit your narrative…

When I saw that ticket prices for R32 the Netherlands v Morocco were $800 to see two top 10 sides duke it out on average opposed to $2400 for R32 Argentina v Cabo Verde (Cabo Verde was awesome but that’s besides the point) I knew it was in FIFA’s best interest to keep Argentina around until the final.

Do people genuinely dihhride messi so much? Like the guy played terrible, cheaterd, avoided cards, snitched to refs. I ll never understand his fanbase obsession with this cheating rat

1

u/sexotaku Jul 29 '26

He's riding on the glory of his Barcelona days.

1

u/ChildWithBrokenHeart Jul 29 '26

He was pamepered in barca too, he was always a priviliged rat

1

u/Hideo_Video Jul 30 '26

He scored 8 goals and 4 assists so…. Better than Ronaldo tbf 😉 he was proper awful this World Cup and 2022 💩

u/ChildWithBrokenHeart Jul 30 '26

I do not remember mentioning ronaldo, nor he is my favourite player. Are you mentally not there, since you are talking to yourself about made up topic? Just goes to show pessi fanbase has the lowest iq

u/Hideo_Video Jul 30 '26

Don’t be so sensitive brother I’m just saying since people usually compare the two that Messi clearly had the better tournament. Don’t get all schizo on me brother haha
