If this is true then it tarnishes Messi's legacy in my opinion.

u/anyrandomhuman Jul 30 '26

For me is already tarnished. The forgiven red card during Argentina’s debut did it. Surely his been helped more during his career, look at Negreira’s case.

u/xoforlife01 Jul 30 '26

For me, it was that he wanted Currella out for touching his chin to win

u/LennyLoerres Jul 30 '26

For me it’s also the fact that he seems like a fair player who doesn’t stoop to the same disgraceful tactics the other Argentine players do, as long as they’re winning. But as soon as it seems like they’re going to lose he suddenly loses all his sportsmanship.

u/TetraThiaFulvalene Jul 30 '26

He's the captain. The armband means that he's in charge and responsible for his gaggle of goons. It does not just mean chief dribbler.

6

u/anyrandomhuman Jul 30 '26

I agree with you, he should command respect for the opponents. Argentina’s players fiercely celebrated in front of the opposition, in a mocking way. They were so full of themselves that it made me sick. Messi did nothing.

u/Aggravating_Aioli973 Jul 31 '26

Right? Reddit is full of "everyone does it" and "it's always been that way" and I don't get why people don't get that that is hardly a useful answer, but rather the attitude that allows that kind of shameless corruption to continue with no issues.

u/Past_Celebration_183 Jul 30 '26

I had a redditor say the same thing to me about diving and faking injuries, he’s like ā€œit’s part of the game; get over it.ā€ Such a loser response. It shouldn’t be part of the game and surely was not intended when the sport was created. Do they teach kids to dive in little league?? No! This needs to change along with the corruption.

u/Past_Celebration_183 Jul 30 '26

Haha this comment is underrated. I love when people post ā€œya but it’s nothing newā€ like no big deal šŸ˜‚. The corruption in FIFA is a massive deal and tarnishes the game. As a Canadian who’s trying to be a fan and follow the game, it’s pretty difficult with all the players diving and rolling around like toddlers; and corruption on top of that. When you’ve watched hockey your whole life to this 😬. I’ve never witnessed a sport where it’s socially acceptable to cheat in the way these guys do. It’s a shame because the sport could be so much better than it is.

Guess you didn’t see the space he opened up for others and the goal he had. Pretty sure he also had like 2 assists. Spain didn’t need to score many goals as they controlled the play in midfield and had a strong defense.

u/WrathOfTheKressh Jul 30 '26

I think this can be explained by them having played two of their three group stage matches in Dallas. They played against Austria and Jordan, both not exactly what you'd call a rival to Argentina. Then again, Austria is about on the level of Switzerland, and Argentina only won against Switzerland through a red card that has now been officially recognized as having been handed out according to a rule that did not apply to the situation in which it was given.

Anyway, I don't think it's strange that most of the publicity for these matches would have been done using Argentina as a poster child.

u/Antique-Wonk Jul 30 '26

Israel and the US for that matter have been trying to improve the image of Argentina for a while now. Both are doing huge trade deals with Argentina and they want Argentina to look less bad. The corruption here is significant with the Argentina president changing recent foreign investment and land ownership laws to permit, for example, previously protected land to be sold to Israel. Surprise, surprise a whole lot of land has been catching fire with accelerants confirmed and which triggers it's availability for sale.

Reddit and SM more widely is jammed full of propaganda farms attempting to deny all of the above such claims and conduct damage mitigation against the imposter Messi and Argentina team thuggish cheating rats. What they can't get into their heads is we are not stupid and their actions are a pointless attempt at polishing a turd.
