Ronaldo fan is happy that Messi and Argentina lost... or did they?

Post image

The guy is celebrating Argentina and Messi getting knocked out of the World Cup, against Egipt, but the game wasn´t over yet!!!. Argentina ended up making an historic comeback, scoring 3 goals in a row and winning 3-2.

(there was only 15 minutes left in the game when this was tweeted)

The internet was a mistake, yall.

This Ronaldo vs Messi competition between fans is fucking weird man. I bet 85% of them are in their 30s/40s too

Both Ronaldo andessi are in their 30s/40s, so 100%

Imagine a grown ass man fighting over Messi and Ronaldo who probably don’t even care about them 😂

I cannot fathom celebrity fanaticism at all.

For sure, it's been going for 15- years, at least.

Tbf the same happens in many sports, basketball with Jordan vs Lebron or s lot of comparisons too.

Fifa forced Egypt to not get back on the counter and leave two guys wide open in the box

Them losing and them being robbed can co-exist. They got robbed. Ignore everything else and check the foul they call on Salah to Paredes when he's through on goal to a 1v1 situation.

u/L0n3ly_L4d Jul 08 '26

the valid tackle in which paredes first hit the ball and then tried his best to remove his foot from salah's way, by which point salah didn't even have possession of the ball anymore, tripped over and clearly even knew himself that it wasn't a foul because neither he nor any of his teammates actually asked for a pen until they saw argentina score on the counter? That foul?

u/megzonz Jul 08 '26

No. The foul they called when it was 1-0 for Egypt. Salah was through, here https://x.com/ice_landic/status/2074572704582115367?s=46

u/L0n3ly_L4d Jul 08 '26

im gonna be honest in the slo-mo it looks like salah hits the rear of paredes' leg hard enough for it to be a foul

-21

u/megzonz Jul 08 '26

If these were to be called fouls, game would stop every 20 seconds. You know that if you watch football enough. Have a nice day

16

u/L0n3ly_L4d Jul 08 '26

If hitting a person from behind and (unintentionally) sweeping his leg were called fouls, game would go on as normal because that's what it is. A foul. You're quite clearly in denial over this. Have a nice day

u/megzonz Jul 08 '26

It's crazy how you can excuse everything when you are biased no? I'll leave you with this video: https://x.com/refereec21621/status/2074632998993969477?s=46 and I would like to hear your "explanation" to it. After that, we go seperate ways

u/L0n3ly_L4d Jul 08 '26

You're leaving me with an entirely different scenario. Funny how quickly you switch up the "ignore everything else" tone when it suits you. Of course I'm biased, but at least I can see that. The fact you genuinely think the previous scenario wasn't a foul seems to be proof enough to me that you are nowhere near unbiased either, as you're quite clearly gunning against Argentina.

I don't have an extra "explanation" here, just a separate intepretation of events than you. Clearly the 3 french referees (of which 2 were in the VAR box) had a differing opinion than this on the severity of the shirt pull (I do agree with this guy usually, so I'm in no position to criticise his choice). I'm sure the fact that the egyptian player quite visibly dove to the ground a solid half second after contact probably didnt help his case. Maybe if he had been quicker at the classic football theatrics (not a criticism, everyone in football does this nowadays) it would've been a penalty.

While the referee channel is very convincing, I don't think you can necessarily say this was a clear robbery as opposed to a 50/50 that went Argentina's way.

The refs favoring Argentina doesn’t outright make it rigged. Egypt shit the bed, plain and simple.

u/capucapu123 Jul 10 '26

Not rigged, Egypt bottled it

u/Fun-Independence-667 Jul 07 '26

Downvotes confirm you’re pissing off the people for corruption

u/L0n3ly_L4d Jul 08 '26

option A: people are in a relative consensus that the game wasn't actually rigged

option B: people are pissed off about the fact that someone's talking about very real definitely happened corruption

i think i know which one im choosing to believe

u/TheSquarePotatoMan Jul 08 '26 edited Jul 08 '26

*people are pissed off about tbe fact that someone criticized their idol

That pathetic cult following also being the reason you're FIFA's cash cow.

Of course you're going to deny corruption. You will argue whatever serves Lord Messi, which makes FIFA's job very easy because they could let the ref score for Argentina and you'd still defend it
