did FIFA rig the Argentina game

[donpozzy]

could it be that messi is simply FIFA fav and the rest are simply pawns in the game

[sydneyynvar]

The way penalties get called for that sqquad always feels a bit too convenient.

[auroraaylyn]

that penalty against the dutch in 2022 was sketchy as hell, never seen something called so soft in a knockout game before

[quillanick]

Pawns don't get five pens.

[hamnug]

[Typsheet]

Nooooo

[cedarly]

I remember my cousin screaming at the TV when that late penalty was given, he still brings it up every family gathering. At this point it feels like the scriptwriters are not even trying to hide it anymore.

Every tournament needs a main character, I guess.

Dunno

What do you think separates a genuine favoritism toawrd Messi from just him being that much better under pressure?

I don’t think FIFA rigged it, but some referee decisions were definitely questionable.

There is no solid proof that the match was fixed.

Argentina got some favorable calls, but that does not automatically mean it was rigged.

People usually blame FIFA when a big team benefits from a controversial decision.

The refereeing was poor, but calling it rigged might be going too far.

I understand why fans are suspicious after watching those decisions.

FIFA did not rig the game; Argentina simply took their chances better.

The referee influenced the match, but Argentina still had to score the goals.

It looked suspicious at times, especially with the inconsistent decisions.

Without clear evidence, we should not claim that FIFA fixed the result.

Egypt had reasons to feel unlucky, but they also made costly mistakes.

VAR decisions always create conspiracy theories when Argentina are involved.
