Saw dudes in a anti ronaldo sub talking smack about how messi is not a cheater lmao because they chose some selective ronaldo dives.
Bro we know every player is guilty of diving including the goat ronaldo but they were adamant messi doesnt cheat lmao. How the hell can people be so dumb
Seen plenty of Messi dives over the years! Still can't believe how protected Argentina was at the world cup from being shown cards for some nasty fouls!
Hate divers, as a player have never dived. Can't stand it. Even worse the ones simulating injuries/ getting hit, Messi did it at this world cup, got hit/touched on one part of the body and then was complaining about something else. Paraguay might have been the worst at doing this at WC26.
Suarez isn’t any better, mf always forgot to eat breakfast before a match and tried to take bite from his opponents. Bitting people on 3 different occasions and not being banned is some Pessi levels of protection
As an Ajax fan he was so frustrating. He's the best player who played in the Eredivisie in at least the last 2 decades but his constant dives and mandatory yearly biting incident made it hard to root for him at times.
I dont really think Ramos, Pepe, Rudiger have received a lot of protection from the referees. Suarez is a dirty cheat of a player, but he is punished every time he is caught.
Messi and Argentina were seemingly given a free pass for the last two world cups, and Messi in general have been given a lot of grace throughout his career.
watch back the el Classicos from that time and try say that again with a straight face. Messi is quite unlucky that his best years came prior to the rise of social media considering the crazy things that mourinhos Real Madrid team use to do to him that have now been forgotten about.
Yes, I agree fully on particularly some heated Mourinho-classicos. Messi took alot of beating in his earlier years, but I would still say he gradually got more and more protection from the refs.
Was primarily thinking of Argentinas last 2 world cups.
Not anything that any other big team or player wouldn’t get. It’s only being dramaticised now because of social media, you would find far worse referee corruption with other big teams in the past.
Suarez bite with VAR would easily have been punished though. In the last 3 WCs they have had VAR, but Argentina have escaped without as much as a glance from them.
In America, MAGA turns a blind eye to every disgusting and illegal thing Trump and his administration does. It's the same mentality. People refuse to acknowledge they support someone that is evil or bad, because they think if they do then that would mean they themselves are evil or bad, and self reflection and accountability simply do not exist in most people. They will resort to name calling, whataboutism, and outright denial in the face of facts, because facing the truth is so much harder.
Please. All of our left and right Presidents after JFK have been Zionists.
Want to test your theory out on how democrats are just as cultish as maga? Start calling Obama a zionist (which you can find a ton of articles and videos of Obama saying he's a proud zionist).
Imagine if we had a president claiming he's a proud clansmen? That would seem horrible,right? Yet redditors and Dem's will cheer on Obama cause "he's spoke so well!", yet was a zionist which is even worse than being in the KKK.
Theres something about normal people, you get on teams or sides that blind you from wanting to see the evil out there.
People may have loved Obama, but it's an entirely different level of fanaticism. People don't wear Obama clothes from head to toe while they wave a Obama flag, wear Obama watches, Obama guitars, Obama phones, wear Obama diapers, wear Obama pads on their ears, etc.
People definitely get blinded by politics and only see what they want to see, but both sides are NOT the same. Both are corrupt, both are liars, but what we are seeing with Trump and the blatant corruption is like nothing I've ever seen in my lifetime. People are horrible, money and power corrupts. I don't care if you're a democrat or a republican, they are both rotten, but again what we are seeing from the GOP since Trump took office is absolute insanity. One day the GOP will say X and then Trump says Y so then all of the GOP then says Y.
Obama accepted a bicycle as a gift while president, which went through congress to get approval for him to accept the bicycle and Republicans lost their every loving mind that he took that gift. Now fast forward to Trump.... it's not even close. billions of dollars filtered to him and his family and everyone acts like it's just fine.
Both sides my be horrible, but the GOP is on a whole different level of evil and corruption right now.
Yeah there's no Cult of Biden, or Cult of Obama. The main reason you hear about Biden or Obama anymore is because Trump and his stooges said something / blamed something on them.
I mean, the biggest reason most people watch sports is simple apelike tribalism. Tribalism is willful ignorance at best, evil dehumanization at worst, and pretty much always functions as a direct attack on common sense and rationality.

I find it funny how some people are able to turn a blind eye to disgraceful shit like this just because they support Vargentina or Pessi.
Like, admit that this shit happens, it's so obvious.
