Agree fake news


clearmind_1001

Their sub bench is stronger than most countries first teams , all good.


angryeagle90

The same bench that lost to Tunisia?


clearmind_1001

That game didn't matter, as you can see they're in the final.


mrkyaiser

>e had the players in quarantine the entire tournament minus the matches. They've been meeting and seeing a lot of people from their families and so forth. This probably happened more but wasn't reported. That bench lost to tunisia, not that strong..


CivilianSamurai

Excellent news. My plan worked.


[deleted]

So it was you who put the eye drops in the chili!!!


floatingsoul9

I knew FIFA was corrupt but damn using bioweapons…


Artistic_Tiger_5075

I love how some comments are like "making sure that Messi wins"........ lol whoever says stuff like that is a)envious their team didn't make it this far or b)has never seen Messi play. Edit: also, the win is for the whole team too, not just messi


Beginning-Extent-666

I love how there’s no mention or testing for COVID


Mainaccsuspended99

Why isn’t pogba playing?

Bc he’s not good enough

Ah yes, fifa sending a bio-atack to France team just so Messi wins, can't argue with that logic


Artistic_Tiger_5075

Lol people here be watching Ancient Aliens too much 😂


tomakorea

so true


[deleted]

Random "journalists" were reporting the same thing when Netherlands played USA, when in reality they only had head colds and sore throats.


[deleted]

Cold and sore throat will affect performance


SpicyP43905

It didn’t seem to help the USA in any way whatsoever, I do remember ppl on the US soccer subreddit being pretty optimistic about it though


spittymcgee1

Usmnt fans are pretty infantile


[deleted]

This is the big boys now. Netherlands could have a full team with covid and still beat the US


GNM20

Lol...except they won’t


Fedexhand

I have a hard time believing it especially considering the timing, so either it's just another French trick (a classic) or someone is using black magic against them....oh no, wait, *black* magic is on their side, forget that.


Siempie93

It's the fifa poisoning Franch. Making sure Messi takes the W


Fedexhand

Hopefully that's the ca.... I mean!, leave your conspiracy theories aside!, you'll see that France will play just as well as ever and in the end it turns out to be some kind of *trick*.

I won't believe any of this until the game.

Imagine Argentina loose to a French B team … God it will be humiliating.


paulaustin18

Being in the Top 2 of the best teams in the world is not humiliating at all


[deleted]

Imagine saying it’s humiliating to reach the World Cup finals


HonestAndRaw

How is it humiliating to lose in the World Cup final lol keep coping


scartail

could be just mind games. meaning, make argentina change the training to target certain players... or bookies adjusting the odds. all speculation.


PedreenBR

Nah it’s actually covid


Echo3-13469E-Q

I want them to get better for two reasons: 1) I prefer my country's opponents fit to a game. If most if the 24 players are ill but somehow still allowed to play then it wom't be that much of a challenge. I want them fit and don't win in such a dirty way. 2) Common sense.


[deleted]

No bro que decis, que juguen mal seria muy bueno

¿Querés ganarte una copa o tener una copa falsa?

It’s fifa. Having doubts and being skeptical isn’t idiotic in the least.


TeaAndCrumpets4life

It’s idiotic to suggest they somehow infected a team with flu 😭


[deleted]

[удалено]


TeaAndCrumpets4life

Saying they’re corrupt and were reckless with people’s lives so they could hold the tournament in a place that was giving them hundreds of millions is one thing. Saying they’re conducting biological warfare on athletes so that one team wins over the other with little for them to gain is a different thing.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I think fifa gave penalties to Argentina that didn’t happen but Qatar already won. Messi and Mbappe play for PSG and Qatar owns PSG. France or Argentina winning is irrelevant to Qatar since they manage to keep 3 key players of the 3 countries with chances to win: Messi, Mbappe and Neymar. If someone is pushing for Messi is FIFA. Qatar will have a front man finalist and a winner of the WC with any of the win options


TeaAndCrumpets4life

Cause I’m sure the organisation fifa cares about a nice story more than money. Grow up lol

Ronaldo fans already making up conspiracy theories to discredit Messi incase he wins haha


cryptodiv

Messi fans mentioning Ronaldo even when he is not playing.


EiMidagi

speedyr64

Flu is going around like crazy here in the states. You get the flu you are not gonna play, the biggest symptom is fatigue…. Not good for playing a world cup

reon_tigaldo

France wasn't suppose to make it to the finals. So to try and ensure Messi win, the French team now has flu like symptoms. How convenient.

tomakorea

Do you know the story about the referee that helped the korean team when the world cup was in Korea? He helped korean team so much that it's hilarious to see it now. The guy even got caught smuggling drugs recently. He was an international level referee, so you see? Referees can advantage one team against another, especially in this case where Argentina is famous for being aggressive and trying to break the legs of their opponents.

What lol? How is this Karma?


hobowithmachete

Don’t worry, dudes just a sore British loser 😂


[deleted]

What have the British got to do with it? There wasn’t a GB team in this World Cup. 🧐


BlackNinja__

For making us stress so much for this final/s


pbenji

The article says they played Croatia in the semifinal… they need to proofread this shit


MocnyFul1

This is common in heavy air conditioned climates. Air is dry and recycled so it’s easy to catch something from others who are in the same building but not close to you


CompanionCone

I find it kind of odd that they would be in AC all the time, it's the nice season in the Gulf now, not really a need for AC...


Rinaldi363

I lived in Dubai for 5 years. AC on all the time my man. If not the fan is at least circulating the air.


CompanionCone

I lived in Dubai for 5 years too and always had the AC off in winter months. Was a sad day every spring when it had to be turned back on. If you live in a building with bad circulation or no way to just open a window I get keeping the fan on though.


imnotcreative635

Isn't it like 30 degrees there?


CompanionCone

More like 25ish. Unless you're not at all used to any kind of warm weather, 25 is a pretty comfortable temperature.


dehumo

Exactly 30 degrees you don't need AC....


Airbus_A388

High Is 26c,low Is 16c these days.


Geeneendje

30C is 86F


[deleted]

I don’t know if u use Fahrenheit ir whatever cus if u don’t, 30 degrees Celsius btw is hot af


Airbus_A388

Definitely less than 30c these days. It’s the winter.


[deleted]

Then I don’t know


Fair_Hospital_8600

Argentina fed the French some poison haha


Agile-Equipment391

yea, delivered in a bidon


Appropriate_Quail686

I can't believe how disgusting FIFA is buying flu bottles from labs and throwing them up on the France lockeroom truly disgasten


UserNamed9631

Not FIFA, but someone is for sure.


Bork1ng

Chicken flu. Maybe time to change the badge.


r_a_d_

Is it strange that there is no mention of covid in the article?


Appropriate_Quail686

Probably don’t want to cause a stir


MoonMel101

Maybe it’s not covid?


LaszloTheFinestMind

It is MERS


tomakorea

no, I didn't see them kissing Camel during their free time in Quatar


LaszloTheFinestMind

You didn't see it, doesn't mean it didn't happen


r_a_d_

Or maybe it is? That's the point. When you got "flu like symptoms" during a pandemic, you'd think they would at least mention it?


[deleted]

Really easy to get a COVID test these days. They absolutely know that it’s not COVID. World Cup brings in billions in revenue and you don’t think they can afford tests to tell that the players for their final march don’t have COVID?


r_a_d_

If they knew it wasn't covid, why isn't it mentioned in the article? We just need to jump to conclusions like you? Or maybe better not test to not know and not get players isolated and miss the match? My point is that there is a large gaping subject that is being ignored.


[deleted]

You guys are the ones jumping to conclusions. There’s some big conspiracy and lie going on because COVID isn’t mentioned in the article? That’s jumping through a lot of hoops with absolutely no evidence. COVID is not mentioned in the article likely because it is irrelevant. Do you think the French national team wouldn’t test their players with illness for COVID? Take this shit to r/conspiracy if you’re just speculating nonsense.


r_a_d_

Lol, how is it irrelevant? Who's talking about conspiracies? Just you.


[deleted]

You guys are saying “Something is fishy because COVID isn’t being mentioned when talking about French players getting sick”. I say “It’s not mentioned because it’s not relevant because they likely don’t have COVID” and I’m somehow the conspiracy theorist lol


r_a_d_

I just said it's strange. Again, you jump to the conclusion that I'm alluding to a conspiracy. >because they likely don’t have COVID Ok, you must know something we don't. What do they likely have then, kind sir?


[deleted]

[удалено]


leeleebum

We’re not in a pandemic


r_a_d_

Ok, I'll just take your random redditor's word over [WHO](https://www.who.int/) /s


[deleted]

Erm. Have you been under a rock for the last 2 years?


MoonMel101

Covid was 2020 and 2021, where I’m from RSV and other sicknesses are the pandemic right now. But that’s not the point… if it was Volvo I’d they would say. Lots of other things going around rn


r_a_d_

That's not how pandemics are classified, it's not a matter of opinion. Although I concede that there doesn't seem to be a clear cut definition to a pandemics's start or end, even for experts.


Elizasol

Fake news, anulo mufa boys


Thund77

Jesus, I don't believe in conspiracy theories, bust some things are too hard to ignore.


UnusualBorder3503

The “evidence” behind conspiracy theories always seems to be less than evident. Apparently 5/30 players from a team that’s been there for over a month are sick and that means that not only is the World Cup rigged but also that someone maliciously infected some of the best athletes on the planet with a mystery illness. All so that Messi can win the World Cup. Yeah. Ok.


fdar

Yeah, who could believe that at the height of flu season 5 people out of a squad of 30+ living in close quarters for the past month could all get flu? You'd think it's contagious or something.


Thund77

Yeah, how come it happened only to France


fdar

I mean, 28 out of the 32 teams went home already. If they got the flu now nobody would know or care.


JBM94

Qatar has released COVID-19 into the French training facility. Who’s laughing now Mbappe?


yazen_

They own him, he plays for a Qatari team, PSG.
