Confirmed: the referees want Argentina to win.

The questionable penalty that Argentina was awarded is not surprising seeing how they were favouring Argentina the entire tournament. That penalty broke a record for most penalties awarded to one team in a single tournament. That's 5 penalties in 6 games.

FIFA wanted Portugal out by making 5! referees from Argentina officiate their game against Morocco. They are clearly anti-Ronaldo and pro-Messi.

in the final they'll loose to France

[–] samoanjoes (53068) 2 years ago

I hope. France isn't doing it for their country, they're doing it for the World. If Morocco makes the final, I hope they frustrate them and beat them in penalties to make it more heartbreaking.

[–] Stratego (29537) 2 years ago

Good lord no, not Morocco. We won't be hearing the end of it here in Western Europe and they'll be trashing the place again. If it's those two, just let Argentina win the fakest and most forgettable WC of all time. Let's just hope they'll beat the crap out of Messi so he won't be able to make a goal.

My heart shattered in a million pieces when I saw that. Couldn’t watch the second half of the game.

[–] samoanjoes (53068) 2 years ago

Are you Dutch?

[–] Dainty (1875) 2 years ago

Norway

[–] samoanjoes (53068) 2 years ago

I wonder if FIFA would ever help Haaland in a future World Cup as much as they are with Messi.

[–] Dainty (1875) 2 years ago

I’m not sure. Norway isn’t good enough anymore. We had our glory in the 90s.

[–] samoanjoes (53068) 2 years ago

You never know. You guys have Haaland and could inspire 10 year olds and then become good in 8 years.

[–] JBran (1586) 2 years ago

I saw the ref was Argentinian, could not find evidence that the other 4 members were Argentinian.

[–] samoanjoes (53068) 2 years ago

Not "the other". It was 5 of 8.

1 was South American and another one was Spanish. That's 7 of 8 Spanish speaking referees.

[–] JBran (1586) 2 years ago

Fair play that does seem dodgy.

[–] letess (1097) 2 years ago

It’s already starting. 24 min in.

[–] samoanjoes (53068) 2 years ago

I predicted a penalty before 20 mins. I was wrong. It happened in the 21st minute.

[–] Dainty (1875) 2 years ago

It’s ridiculous

Like clockwork

[–] samoanjoes (53068) 2 years ago

And Messi fans will say we're jealous for pointing out the obvious. I would not be surprised if there was some exposé in the future about how Qatar rigged the World Cup. They're actually in the middle of controversy with the EU.

[–] FootOfDavros (7291) 2 years ago

Unbelievable. Another one!

And it was the softest penalty you'll ever see given. No VAR check either... What's going on?

[–] Lucia2016 (554) 2 years ago

France cheat though because they have more Africans playing than actual French people , it's debatable how much of a real Country they even are anymore.

Argentines doing it for Argentines

True patriots

[–] FootOfDavros (7291) 2 years ago

LOL. Yes, MacAllister that traditional Argentinian patriot played a great part for that second goal!

[–] Lucia2016 (554) 2 years ago

His family were in the Irish town of Donabate since 1690, before a Joseph Mac Allister moved to Pergamino in 1865

I think 160 years and several generations just about qualify him

[–] FootOfDavros (7291) 2 years ago

Mbappe's mother is a white French woman is she not - Does he qualify as being "okay" then?

What's your cut off point - because it's obviously not simply about being racist - for being true countrymen? e.g. if Joseph MacAllister had taken his Scotch blood (yes!) to Argentina in 1965 instead say, would that be too late?

Please do let me know how many years are required to qualify as a "true patriot"...

[–] Lucia2016 (554) 2 years ago

Yes if it was 1965 then he would be a Scot living in Argentina

It takes however long it takes to have the original cultures and customs of the adopted Country embedded into your psychology and nature, as a guess i would say at least 3 generations

[–] FootOfDavros (7291) 2 years ago

So mass migration of black Africans to France began around ~1800. Comfortably more than 3 generations ago. So these guys would be true French patriots right?

Or do you have some specific players in mind born in Africa who have been put in the French team?

[–] Lucia2016 (554) 2 years ago

Read through the French national squad and you will see that most of them have duel Nationality

Look how many play under 21's then switch Countries, yeah pure Frenchmen

Great win for Argentina great team spirit fantastic camaraderie well deserved

[–] letess (1097) 2 years ago

Don’t even try. It’s a waste of time. This one is just off.

[–] FootOfDavros (7291) 2 years ago

I know.

I was just enjoying exposing the hypocrisy of holding a such a steadfast, racist viewpoint in terms of what qualifies as being a national of a country. I actually knew MacAllister's background before naming him, as I knew where it would lead.

[–] letess (1097) 2 years ago

You successfully made your point. Actually I think you are both very knowledgeable. I can’t get over the the number of racists on this board and Lucia, who I actually think is a guy, just feels there are “pure French” people - notwithstanding - the origins of Alexandre Dumas, Serge Gainsbourg, Mde. Curie, Charles Aznavour, Johnny Hallyday, even Belmondo, who are ALL French. He most likely has issues with his own provenance and is hanging on to his own muddled identity which seems to be just not black.

[–] Lucia2016 (554) 2 years ago

[–] letess (1097) 2 years ago

And you are a true idiot. You know nothing about being French.

[–] Lucia2016 (554) 2 years ago

Immigration FC

[–] letess (1097) 2 years ago

Good point. Please stay where you are.

[–] Lucia2016 (554) 2 years ago

What about the EU'S Sex Doll FC?

[–] letess (1097) 2 years ago

Who are you?

[–] Dainty (1875) 2 years ago

Racistina 🤡

[–] samoanjoes (53068) 2 years ago

This is just too obvious. There was a penalty they got in a previous game that didn't get a VAR check either. It sucks that France played like crap because Argentina deserved to win, but they'll use France playing like crap to ignore all the calls that went Argentina's way the entire tournament.

[–] FootOfDavros (7291) 2 years ago

Zut alors!

Maybe we spoke too soon. Very soft penalty for the French aussi...

[–] samoanjoes (53068) 2 years ago

If they called that first one for Argentina, then this one should be one. 100% penalty.

[–] AckbarsRevenge (3636) 2 years ago

But why would they? Because of some old Nazis in their Argentinian hideouts secretly controlling FIFA?

[–] AckbarsRevenge (3636) 2 years ago

"The President of PSG (who Messi plays for) is also the chairman of Qatar Sports Investments."

A bit meager as evidence. Mbappe also plays for PSG.

[–] samoanjoes (53068) 2 years ago

From the link in my OP:

Hassan Al Thawadi, Secretary General of the World Cup Delivery and Legacy Committee, spoke with Télam (h/t Minuto Uno) and did not hide his genuine desire to see Messi lift the trophy for Argentina.

“Seeing Messi lift the trophy in what could be his last World Cup would be something really special for us as organizers."

[–] letess (1097) 2 years ago

Now that was a true penalty. 79 min in. Bam. It’s Mbappé.

[–] samoanjoes (53068) 2 years ago

100% penalty. Teams have to earn their penalties, Argentina just gets them.

[–] letess (1097) 2 years ago

France. That’s how it’s done. Fair and square. Mbappé.

[–] Lucia2016 (554) 2 years ago

3-2 now Fair and Square

[–] letess (1097) 2 years ago

It should be 2-2. The first one was a joke.

[–] Lucia2016 (554) 2 years ago

Cruel pen there beyond soft
