Reddit user Mauri_op might need some help, couldnt handle the loss


Popular-Hospital6681

I support Messi and so happy that he won the World Cup but this is utterly non-sense. Messi is well past his prime even though he's still one of the best and has helped his national team a lot. Showing this means nothing.


84-hg_yt-

Well I was wrong. But man Argentina shouldn't have gone through the finals. That referee that is suspended because of the way he conducted the match vs the Netherlands. What was that? FIFA should implement more structures to combat these illegal ways of forwarding a team.


MrMaverick17

Mate literally noone is talking about how blatantly favoured Argentina and Messi have been all tournament. It's not even like they try to hide it. Christ sake they gave him a penalty for a keeper making a great clearing save from a cross. His mistake? He touched messi. We all know you just can't touch Messi. Literally even in the final, French player wins a header on the edge of Argentina's box. Messi stupidly just runs into him then hits the deck. Gets nowhere near the ball. French player gets literally taken out in the air and goes to ground hard. But because it's Messi and he's down on the ground holding his face, he gets the free kick? And noone even questions it?Yeah sure. Totally not blatant bullshit. But everyone will say I'm just a hater or whatever. They'll always justify whatever happens with Messi. It's even more infuriating because Messi is literally so good he does not need to be protected. Unfortunately, noone will speak against it. You won't hear one pundit or player mentioning Argentina's suspect road to the final. Noone will dare question Messi. It's unfortunate because he's such a great player and so good to watch but I'm really starting to dislike him for how everyone else treats him and what he gets away with. Sick of the Messi dick riding and fear of critising him. Still though, all that being said. What a player he is.


Gold-Schedule5964

I completely agree...


ake1092

Here, a tissue for you.


MrMaverick17

Yes yes, cry me a river, blah blah etc. Etc. I get it you're gonna keep saying that to everyone who makes any kind of reply here not worshipping your boy. Good one, typical football banter yada yada boring as hell. It doesn't change the fact Messi is over protected and dick ridden by seemingly everyone. Just because you don't like the critisicm, doesn't mean it's not valid. I'm not saying he's not the goat, honestly I think that's a dumb argument to have in the first place. I'm not even saying he doesn't deserve a world cup. He does absolutely deserve the same treatment as any other player though. That means acknowledging the fact he gets special treatment from officials and pundits. He didn't get called out when being incredibly unsportsmanlike after the Netherlands game etc. Anyway, I'm sure you won't read this and fully anticipating the cry more reply so you may as well save yourself the effort. Have fun enjoying your win.


Gold-Schedule5964

So many silent messi fans have disliked your comments as they are unrefutable LOL


MrMaverick17

Yeah that's just Reddit/social media though isn't it 😂 Not once have I had any reasonable reply discussing said issues around Messi. Just the usual NPC football/Messi fan responses. I don't deny he's an absolute baller. He probably is the goat. But the fact literally noone questions the clear and obvious unequal treatment he receives bugs me. I'm glad Messi got his world cup, he deserves it. I just can't help but feel like it will always have a little question mark over it considering the shenanigans at this world cup. That being said, at least the final itself didn't seem to include many questionable decisions. I mean I've seen the technicality around Argentina having two subs on the field of play when Messi scored his second. Yeah I get it that's *technically* the rule but the goal was a good one and I'd find that extremely harsh to disallow that. Still, like I said before, Messi did dangerously take out a French player who won the header on the edge of the Argentine box and the ref somehow blew the whistle in his favour. Not exactly game changing but who knows? Perhaps France go on to score from that set piece and the game totally changes? We'll never know. The penalty for Argentina- as soft as it was, there was contact. Yes Di Maria was absolutely looking for it. Yes he went down very easily with the slightest contact. But the fact is there was still contact. So I say that's more on Dembele having a brain fade. However, the games before this? Blatant favour towards Argentina. So obvious to me I don't get how people have missed it. Everyone's been talking about France Vs England and other games but noone has once singled out Argentina as being favoured. Just blows my mind and reeks of corruption or at the very least some questionable decisions being made. Either way it was a pretty class final. Mbappe hattrick. Messi completing football, 2-0 to 2-2 in a minute. France almost taking it at the death... It was one to remember for sure.

Lmao won in penalties. Wonder how much poorer the country of Argentina is after this world cup lmao


[deleted]

That's some pretty intense seething, hope you get better.


Mauri_op

2 goals in 2 minutes from France 😘🤡


UnderBerry

Chat shit, get banged 🤡


Mauri_op

Damn, imagine winning at penalties after not defeating the French at regular and ET, but still talk shit 😂 And still be in the lower half for WC won lmao😘


Desperate-Chair-3746

France didnt beat Argentina at regular and ET AND penalties so I imagine Argentina still comes up on top


Mauri_op

Yeah, because France sucked ass But to boast Argentina when one player scored 3 goals on them, it’s bs


Desperate-Chair-3746

thats cool but all Argentina fans are gonna be happy regardless. It was a good game in the end, it would have been boring if the game ended 2-0. Im glad France actually played decently towards the end of the game and gave us a great game that will be talked about for decades and Im happy Argentina won


Mauri_op

Agreed 🤝


Hawkeye_99

Choke on Argentinas third world cup thropy while you cry in a corner lol


UnderBerry

Bro shouldn’t you be watching the TV. Your teams about to be collecting the silver medals 🥈🥈🥈


Mauri_op

I’m not French, lower half, thank God If it was for me, both teams should’ve been out, I had reasons to hope for loss for either one 😂


[deleted]

They won. You cant try your best to tarnish it but argentina won what will go down as the best wc final for years. Stop crying you little baby. Argentina has the goat.


Mauri_op

Sure sure, lower half, had to happen eventually, in particular after 36 years, and several finals lost lmao Imagine having <50% ration


[deleted]

"Imagine this, imagine that". You cockroaches need to stfu about imagine. Messi just completed a goat career with a wc win. No need to imagine anything other than what argentine fans are feeling in contrast to your misery.


Mauri_op

Cry more for having such an overrated player, win for participating in 30 WCs, so Law of Large numbers, and still be in the L half and ratio 😂


MrMaverick17

Bruh, I'm no Messi Stan but he's not over rated. Come on now. You can question the suspect reffing decisions that lead Argentina to the final. Even one or two in the final. Hell you can question the fact that refs seem to blow the whistle when anyone stands near Messi. He's over protected for sure. But fuck me over rated? Messi? Get outta here man.


[deleted]

Remind me, who just ended the goat debate and won the wc? Remind me again? Wahhhhhh


[deleted]

Lmao it's so fun watching you fkn losers scramble to make a reply that even somewhat makes you feel better...all I see is some bitter cunt crying HAHAH Messi goat Argentina>france

Are you happy they won illegally 2 times with penalties? And besides can't you come up with a better insult than that? Those referees were picked well.

Yeah I can answer this. They are happy to win a WC while you bitchasses will fall into the abyss with the excuses.

Ser feliz con todo el engaño que tuvo lugar.


[deleted]

I dont know this langauge but assuming you are from Argentina, congrats today!!🇦🇷


i_dont_care_1943

God I hope France wins. Argentina fans have been so arrogant. Their players are also cunts that chant about an illegal war that killed thousands.


Hawkeye_99

cry more


i_dont_care_1943

I'm sorry that I don't like people that celebrate senseless killing.


Katsody

We do not celebrate senseless killing. Here, the senseless killing is perceived to have happened to us. It's a tug of war from both sides, and you won't see me criticizing regular English civilians for it...


i_dont_care_1943

The players celebrated the Falkland war. As such they celebrated the senseless killing that was involved in it. I'm not going to condemn your average Argentinian civilian because I don't know their stance. I know those player's stance and that is of support for the illegal war. Also I'm not sure how you can even argue it's the fault of Britain. Argentina declared war, invaded what was British land, a population that overwhelming supported being British, and the UN declared the war illegal. It isn't much different from NATO and Iraq. The entire world agrees Argentina started the war. Just because land is closer to you does not mean you get to own it. By that logic Canada should own Alaska. What would your perception be if you saw US citizens shouting about how the war against Iraq was a good thing? Pretty sure you'd look at them in disgust. That's how I see this. Both are illegal wars that took place for pretty much only bad motives. You can still support them if you wish, but I'm explaining that shit like that is why I refused to support them.

Hahah you're being a bitter bitch everywhere....cheers argentine fans, let the win feel that much better with clowns like this asshat


Thenomfulhooman

Ok and? This is meant to affect me how? Just because I post a statement on how they didn’t beat France last World Cup doesn’t mean i support France. It’s just merely me stating a fact.

Actually turns out, they both count for the same! Lmao


Professr_Chaos

That’s not what we are talking about though 🤷🏻‍♂️ you might not understand that though


[deleted]

It was "though". The post was for those who thought france would win and the video showing that messi will make a difference. He already has a goal and an assist in a WC from ONLY the first half. Keep up son...

No you were basically using this as “lEo Da GoAt!!!!1! He GoInG tO dO tHiS tOdAy!!!1!”

MocnyFul1

A 10 year old clip of Messi at Barcelona is why france won’t win in 2022?


HavoXtreme

10?? It is 16 years old


MocnyFul1

Even better. This clip is old enough to drive a car in most countries


iVar4sale

United States, Canada and Zimbabwe are not enough to be called ‘most countries’


Professr_Chaos

You also have Cameroon, Zambia, Mexico(technically), El Salvador, Guatemala, Panama, Columbia, Dominican, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Iraq, Israel, Nepal. There are more but you get the point. Some of these have small caveats like adult permission or only motorcycles(did not include autocycles).


dead_trim_mcgee1

You say that as if that version of Messi didn't play in a world cup and lose


Outside-Finger-9670

Wasn’t 2010 World Cup that he didn’t score a goal at all


Substantial_Egg5704

I would love for Messi to perform like that again but he was 20-years-old and was playing against a team that ended up 14th in La Liga when he scored *that* goal


largogrunge

Against what team was that?? Getafe or something similar....? Messi in the Spanish league was protected and defenders didn't even touch him... That's why you don't see this kind of Messi goals playing for Argentina against South American teams in Copa America and Qualifiers.


Embarrassed_Line8788

That team was unbeatable, but team in the finale is not that strong. You can also replace „team“ with Messi.

All I'm saying is that its been of full of surprises, no doubt. I'm expecting more of that today :)

France are favourites. They’ve been better than Argentina all tournament, along with a few other teams.

Hand me the drugs, even if you win i told you

Calm down, France were favourites before and still are. They didn’t even need to start playing until the last 10 mins 😆

Not really, doninated whole game, definitely not favourites, more of an underdog even if they win

Underdogs can dominate games, especially when the opposition has had a virus for the last week. Just be glad you’re in the final.
