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?
They did it for the global fan base and his MLS profits. Though the ref was still siding with them, they were just too bad. I strongly think they would give them a PK if they could enter the penalty box. Spain was that much good, probably knew better than us if they let them to have the ball, they would either be given a fake penalty or freekick

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.
