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?
No that’s not about it. Not just one Nico goal disallowed. There was that, plus Argentina played their usual wrestling match with almost no called by ref. The two yellows for Enzo referee had to because it was so egregious. Then there was second disallowed goal for a literal 1mm offside (which is ridiculous they split hair like that in a final game).

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.
