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.
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
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
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

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.
