Yea I don’t believe in the delusion of the virus thing anymore.
But the WC is still rigged for sure
4 pens in 6 games, all of them except 1 undeserved
Clear favoring in the Netherlands game resulting in Argentina going through over Netherlands
Easiest group and bracket
Argentine ref refereed the Morocco vs Portugal game
Etc
The mentally ill can’t be cured by a Reddit thread. Doesn’t matter what people say, you will still live in denial and still convince yourself that it is rigged to help you sleep at night. I mean listen to yourself, you call a virus rigging, you’re brain dead
I’ve also mentioned under another post that I don’t believe in that delusion anymore. God damn, is it so hard to ducking read? It’s like one post away. Like I said, formulate a counter argument to my other points, then we’ll talk.
Y’all Messi fans have none tho. You know it is, but deny it. Every single Argentina/Messi fan I’ve spoken to has no counter besides stfu and cope. Sad tbh
At least you are to some degree aware of how delusional and ill you actually are, maybe with some help you’ll make it through. Ain’t nobody is reading every brain dead comment of yours tho so that’s on you.
And like I said, it makes no sense arguing with handicapped casuals like you. former refs went on record calling the Croatia foul f.e. undeniable, but why would you care about that right? It doesn’t fit your narrative after all.
Lmao at this. Keep insulting ppl tho, see where that gets ya~
Believing everything a supposed expert says is a fallacy. Of course, you wouldn’t know the meaning of the word. When it’s clear it’s not a foul, trusting the word of an expert cuz they’re an “expert” proves nothing. Try harder though
U the one making this post and im the one that is mad? Lmfao. You are too dumb to know that french players were already getting sick before the semis. But sureee buddy sure live on your delusions.
Ok. I’ve mentioned under another post I don’t believe in this delusion anymore, but I do believe that the WC is rigged (because it is) and anybody can see that.. I’m new so idk how to (if it’s even possible) to delete a post. I was referencing the wc being rigged in my reply to you, not this particular thing.
>Of course. Tell me this World Cup isn’t rigged. Tell me, I dare you
funny coming from a france supporter after all the bullshit they got away with in semis
Everybody knows the only rigged World Cup was the one in 1966. Basically a participation trophy as it was embarrassing that the inventors of the game would never be able to win it without bribery.
You know OP, I see you in the comments telling people to “stay mad”. But… aren’t you the one that’s mad? Isn’t your team the one the aliens are probing with their viruses? If you are correct, and there is a conspiracy, frankly, I’m happy! Messi wins a WC.
We take dubs baby!
Undeserved dubs, but it is what it is. To be clear, i just wanted to bring up the rigging of this WC. I realize now that in my surprise at seeing this untimely event, I clearly went for a loop. This virus thing can’t be rigged lol. But I stand by the fact that the WC is rigged
Let me pose you a question. The biggest star for France is who? And he plays for what club? Effectively owned by which country. Now I’m am NOT spinning a conspiracy theory. I don’t believe there is one. BUT, it’s almost as if those facts could create their own conspiracy on their own….
Maybe I’m slow, but I can’t tell what you’re tryna say. Regardless, I’m telling myself to take it easy on the “conspiracies” (they’re not but whatever) and just enjoy the WC final. I mean, it is only once every 4 years.
That’s clearly far different. If you can’t tell that then 😬 anyway, I’m not gonna respond to anymore of these comments. Nobody seems to want to accept, fine by me. And I’ve already mentioned imma just enjoy this WC for what it is. Hope we get a good, fair final
“Conspiracy theories” backed up by every single ref decision and favoring of Argentina. Stay mad that your average ass team is being carried through the cup
Lmao. Keep hiding in your own delusions. Anyone with a functioning brain cell can see it’s true. You don’t even have a counter argument besides stfu. Lmao. Stay mad
Not having counter arguments to a ridiculusly stupid and dumb statments id not not proof of said statement being true.
It just means what you said was so incredibly retarded that even trying to argue with you would cause me to have a brain aneurysm
Lmao, 4 pens in 6 games, most of them undeserved (only the Saudi one was a pen)
Biased officials literally everywhere
Argentine ref for the Morocco Portugal game
Netherlands game was handed to them and yet they almost lost
Etc.
Accept it buddy. Argentina fans are in some crazy denial. All the facts are there
facts that all refreeing experts said the penalties were clean.
funnily enough, the only doubted penalty, is the one vs saudi arabia, which i personally believe was not a penalty.
but all the other ones are clear as day.
a punch in the face, a kick in the box, a tackle by the keeper.
if these aren't pens, then nothing is.
Punch in the face? lmfao he was going for the ball. Same as the Croatian goalie, which was even worse cuz the player already kicked it and then the collision happened. What was he supposed to do, teleport? And what experts said they were clean? Anyway believing that an expert is correct in every situation is in itself a fallacy. Especially when their jobs are probably on the line from FIFA.
where did you learn the rules of the game?
when two players go towards the ball, and a collision happens, a foul is given to the player who touched the ball first, as long as the ball is still in play at the second of collision.
this happens in every match, when you run towards the ball you risk making a fould if you don't touch the ball.
if the croatian kepper had touched the ball before alvarez, it would've been a foul for croatia and yellow for alvarez.
something similar happened in the france morocco match, where everyone was crying for a penalty for morroco, but it was a foul for france instead, simple reason, the french defender touched the ball first.
this is one of the most basic rules of the game, i am not sure what it's called in english, but it translates to "playing for the ball".
similarly, if a defender tackles a player and they fall, it's a foul if they don't touch the ball, and not a foul if they touch it.
If you say so Ig lmao. Literally everybody else says otherwise, but sure. Either way, even if ALL of the penalties were somehow legit (they weren’t, maybe one or two at BEST) they should’ve been knocked out at Netherlands. Clear favoring everywhere every game.
first of all, no, not literally everyone else says it's not a penlaty, you just think that because the people who think it's not a penalty cry about it a lot, just a loud minority.
And anyway, why does it matter what "everyone" thinks? i already told you the rule that was considered for those penalties, do you just follow what the majority says like a sheep?
Sure. Whatever you say pal
No I don’t, I’m just saying that it’s rigged, which it clearly is. Anybody who has a brain cell (not Messi fans Lmao) can see it. Still haven’t mentioned the Netherlands game though. Typical Messi fan who can’t accept facts
If someone was going to purposefully make French players sick why would they target Coman who averages 23 minutes per game and has 0 goals and not Mbappé or Griezmann? Lmao
Yep, Argentine players gave them a can full of water just like they did to Branco in 1990, but instead of narcotics this time it was full of the camel flu virus lol.
Calm down with the conspiracy theories. The Virus was affecting the French squad even before the semis. If you are this desperate to already take possible credit from Argentina winning the World Cup, you are not a Football fan.
Alright sure. Finally someone who makes a counter argument instead of saying stfu lmfao. But cmon, even if this isn’t rigged, the rest of the WC clearly is. It’s pretty clear tbh
I'd like to hear why or how. Why would all other 31 countries accept this, or if you mean that it's rigged by FIFA, why would they risk such a scandal that would destroy them? If you want to make an argument about the "easier side of bracket", it's still bs. If everything went like it seems on paper, then Argentina would still have to face Netherlands, Brazil and some country from the other side in the final (like Portugal, France, England or Spain). And yes, the referees have been questionable. But they have been quetionable for other countries too. For example, France seems to have also been favored by refs, but it's mainly Argentina getting slack for it because apparently "it's rigged for Messi". And the Virus argument you made is just completely delusional. + Apart from the Netherlands game and few easy Pens, the refs have not favored Argentina in any special way.
That last part you said is my point. With those free pens and favoring on the Netherlands game is why they’re in the final. Not so hard to understand. Netherlands should’ve gone through, those penalties changed the other games, etc.
Firstly, few bad/controversial decisions by referees don't make the whole competiton rigged. How did the pens against Saudi-Arabia or Poland affect Argentina in this tournament? What about the pen that Portugal was given against Ghana? You could argue that without it, Portugal might not have made it out of the groupstage. Also in the Netherlands game, ref also gave fouls and yellows to clean Argentinian tackles, gave +10mins of added time at the end and it allowed the equalizer. Also he's known as a bad referee so his bad judgement isn't a surprise, and this time it happened to be in favour of Argentina. Also how did Argentina beat Croatia then?

Why do you think it’s rigged ?

Oh brother people are so delusional they convince themselves of nonsense
It's amazing, isn't it!
Another Messi/ Argentina fan who has no counter so quickly moves on to insults. Stay mad~
If this comment gets more likes you’re gay
So funny and mature, insulting people and calling them gay because you have no counter~
Thats why this subreddit is shit, people like you should stick to twitter and keep your braindead takes there.
I’m brain dead? Says another one who can’t take the obvious hints of rigging~ Stay maaad
Yes, you are brain dead
Ok buddy stay mad.
You’re the only one mad here
Whatever you say. Formulate a counter argument to my points on the cup being rigged (under another post) then talk

I’m not a France supporter my guy
Everybody knows the only rigged World Cup was the one in 1966. Basically a participation trophy as it was embarrassing that the inventors of the game would never be able to win it without bribery.
This is as well, what with the crazy clear favoring of Argentina
You know OP, I see you in the comments telling people to “stay mad”. But… aren’t you the one that’s mad? Isn’t your team the one the aliens are probing with their viruses? If you are correct, and there is a conspiracy, frankly, I’m happy! Messi wins a WC. We take dubs baby!

That’s clearly far different. If you can’t tell that then 😬 anyway, I’m not gonna respond to anymore of these comments. Nobody seems to want to accept, fine by me. And I’ve already mentioned imma just enjoy this WC for what it is. Hope we get a good, fair final

Maybe not. I’m just trying to bring up the obvious rigging of the WC. The virus thing was too far I agree
Calm down with the conspiracy theories. The Virus was affecting the French squad even before the semis. If you are this desperate to already take possible credit from Argentina winning the World Cup, you are not a Football fan.

This is a DailyMail story. Take it as such
Normally I’d agree as they’re a terrible source, but others say the same. Anyway why would the mail lie about France being sick?
Not lie, more amplify the seriousness of their sickness. I'm not saying it isn't true. They just have that habit of sensationalising stories
That’s true. I never take the daily mail serious tbh lmao
