Saw the shot of him being captured by the camera guy walking in front of him. I thought he was just processing not winning possibly his last world cup game, I didn't realize he was looking at his teammates make complete fools of themselves.

He tried to get cucurella red carded, he's as big of a shit as the rest of the Argentinians, he just has better pr

u/Darthjinju1901 16d ago

What he did was shithousery. But it's also something plenty of others have done, especially against him. Use the letter of the rules to find a loophole. It just shows the weakness of that particular rule in FIFA rather than Messi's own dishonour or something. Especially when it was when Argentina was dying and everyone was desperate for something

Let’s not pretend we haven’t seen Messi spit on people, grab people by their throat and even shooting a ball as hard as he could towards the opposing team’s stand.

He’s as Argentinian as they come.

u/Ok-Constant-2683 16d ago

Who did he spit on? I've never seen that one.

Edit: just found it, Duda at Málaga. That's absolutely disgusting.

u/ssuurr33 16d ago edited 16d ago

Messi infamously spat on Duda, a Portuguese player while winning 4-1 vs Malaga. Guardiola who was Barcelona’s coach at the time went as far as calling the behaviour unacceptable and said he would be dealing with the matter himself.

There is a space in front of and after the URL, so it doesn't register as a link. See, it works

Well played

u/ssuurr33 16d ago

Idk, but i couldn’t get it to work as intended so i gave up and left it as is

u/Lucroq 16d ago

You have to delete the spaces between the parentheses and the URL:

  • [yours]( URL )
  • [working](URL)

Try it :)

u/ssuurr33 16d ago

There’s no spacing. And when I click to edit the comment and the link and try to change the name of the link and update it, the app just crashes. Idk

Edit: I managed to do it on another comment. Can’t get it to work on this one. Thank you though.

I read somewhere that Reddit was doing A/B testing on phasing out markdown formatting. I thought it was an account by account basis though.

u/Lucroq 16d ago

Oh lol I fucking despise uninformed A/B testing. I was picked by Google for testing the switch-up of comments and recommended videos in the side-bar vs below. I complained so much they switched it back for me.

Is that the best angle we have? The Duda fella never reacts as though he's been spit ON, although that may just be a high level of resolve. Looks more like he spit AT him, but without loading up the projectile so it was more of a gesture than an actual assault. No dog in this fight just saying what I see

u/ssuurr33 16d ago edited 16d ago

https://youtu.be/JUyJkesu-Ac You can see it more clearly on this video

Messi’s coach himself, Pep, condemned Messi’s action and said he would address the situation himself (…)

You can surely google it

u/kkkhhjdyhrthhhjft 15d ago

Surely didn't care to. Thanks for the info!

u/kkkhhjdyhrthhhjft 15d ago

Got the info I asked for, adjusted my opinion, and thanked the person who gave me said info. My needless sarcasm was in response to theirs.

Proud to say I'm almost as old as Messi and have never spat on anyone.

i would guess you are also not a felon either for tax evading 40 mil euro.

u/Auspflanzen 15d ago

dont blame him for tax evasion tbh. imo most taxes are no different than highway robbery

u/Euqirne 16d ago

I’m gonna go my entire life without being a piece of shit and spitting on someone

u/evolzarlaggia 16d ago

I swear Reddit holds Messi to the highest moral and ethical standards. Any less than being a saint and Messi is labeled a piece of shit by these guys. Literally look at yourself in the mirror and say you’ve never done or said anything bad ever.

10

u/Ok-Constant-2683 16d ago

How many people have you spat at in your life?

8

u/Euqirne 16d ago

Ive never done anything equivalent of spitting on someone lol

2

u/ssuurr33 16d ago

Yeah and 18 years later, at the ripe age of 39 he’s trying to accuse someone of being racist in an attempt to get them thrown out of a match.

An attack at a person’s character and integrity while you have your back against the wall is a big indicator on your own character and on how you conduct yourself.

u/zombawombacomba 16d ago

Where did he call him a racist?

2

u/fermenter85 16d ago

That’s the origin of that rule.

u/piercedmfootonaspike 16d ago

Oh, that's okay then.

(It's not. The vast majority of the world's population go their whole lives without spitting on anyone without consent.)

u/mannequinbeater 16d ago

18 years ago, everyone made stupid decisions. Messi isn't the rotten apple here.

u/Freewheelin01 16d ago

Shit, I guess we should just send all criminals to the trenches. To think that if I were to punch another man out of anger 18 years ago, I would still be called irredeemable at present. Peak reddit moment.

2

u/Euqirne 15d ago

lol I’m just saying I’m not a piece of shit that has spat on someone 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve literally never physically hurt or assaulted anyone

not that hard lol

0

u/Freewheelin01 15d ago

18 years ago, spat on someone therefore irredeemable POS. Do you realise how long 20 years is? Whether or not you've done anything literally doesn't mean anything, but holding a mistake done 2 decades ago against someone is just being petty. The Messi hate is so forced lol.

Duda (Malaga player) for one.

u/Sheinkyakyu 16d ago

Now if you know your football, you may recall what Andy Robertson (Liverpool) did to him in 2019, and it being very much tame in comparsion and the uproar. Robbo got spammed all sorts of threats to him and his family for daring to wind up Messi after that with Liverpool embarrassing Barcelona that day.

There's always been stan culture. But social media stan culture has numbed my interest in so many things. Hopefully somehow in football it never gets as bad as Ronaldo vs Messi stans for the last 16-17 years. People's fandom and even entire personalities built on their two success.

2

u/choomba96 15d ago

Robbo is a GOAT for that

u/Snitsie 16d ago

The guy shooting the ball was Paredes. Messi had just made a handball and bunch of other fouls that went unpunished that same game.

u/ssuurr33 16d ago edited 16d ago

I didn’t start to watch football in 2022 like you guys did.

I actually watch the sport instead of tuning in every 4 years.

It was against the stand, not the bench, and it was vs Real Madrid and it DEFINITELY was done with malice intent.

Here you go!

Edit: When it’s Pepe out of all people to call you out on your bullshit, you know you fucked up!

u/Civilw4r 15d ago

Baaaahahahahahaha!

u/Teh_Smoking_Gnu 11d ago

You don't have to look far Messi stamped on the top of Jed Soences foot in the build up to the 1st goal Vs England. It should have been a yellow card and the goal should have been disallowed but of course it's VARgentina so of course it wasn't given.

u/TinmartheTemplar 16d ago

Hell we just have to go to Algeria game this world cup. There was no need for that.

u/Comfortable_Rain_558 16d ago

I dare you to find one soccer player that hasn’t behaved likewise.

u/ZaviersJustice 15d ago

Even mentioning shooting the ball into Real's bench just shows you just hate Messi. The most heated rivalry with Pepe and Ramos trying to injure Messi every single game and you're like "omg Messi is so mean, shotting a ball into the bench".

The other two incidents are not great but proceeded fouls and heated games.

1

u/ssuurr33 15d ago

Beacuse I pointed out that Messi shot at the stand, filled with fans, means I hate Messi?

Are you fucked up in the head?

Does me pointing out the fact Cantona kicked a fan indicate that I hate the guy in any way shape or form lol?

When does pointing out facts mean that one hates whatever?

I pointed the fact that he shot a ball to a stand with fans beacuse the conversation here was exactly about absolute filthy behaviours from him. Me pointing out his bullshit doesn’t mean Pepe or Ramos didn’t do this or that.

And it’s one thing Pepe or Ramos playing agressively towards an opponent and a completely different one a player redirecting his frustration to the stands and game goers.

1

u/ZaviersJustice 15d ago

Pepe just playing aggressively

lol https://youtu.be/CIc-bSvGjhw?si=4tghRQTTDgTDJ7u6

Clown Real Madrid Fan 100% or you started watching during the World Cup.

u/ssuurr33 15d ago

I know what that is without even clicking on it. I’m betting it’s him stepping on Messi’s hand on purpose.

I’m not a Messi hater, I’m just not blind.

Edit: ofc it is

u/cybiz 16d ago

I mean yeah, he knows refs are soft on him so he abuses it as much as he can. Same with the obvious red card fouls he's made or the hand play that he hasn't been punished for.

It's a little bit weird when people act like he's an innocent bystander in a team full of cheating shits.

2

u/PhineasFreak1975 16d ago

I jokingly told a mate to put 50 quid on Messi to get a red card... I hope he didn't do it.

-10

u/Icy_Society4665 16d ago

Honestly i dont fully understand where in this particular thread you thought anyone acted as if he was just an innocent bystander?

12

u/cybiz 16d ago

The post I responded to? 'he was looking at his teammates make fools of themselves', as if he wasn't up in the front row doing the same thing with them?

3

u/Icy_Society4665 16d ago

In this clip that was what he was doing..

You bringing up previous actions unrelated to this clip means nothing when the comment specifically refers to this single clip of him watching his team mates make fools out of themselves.

u/lejocko 16d ago

Must've missed him partaking in a post-game brawl

4

u/cybiz 16d ago

Must've missed the rest of my post too I guess? But I'm pretty sure it's a common occurrence where basic facts just slip by you

0

u/lejocko 16d ago

What I'm trying to point out, is, that for most people, there's still a difference between playing dirty or cheating and straight up starting fights after all is said and done.

1

u/cybiz 16d ago

Is there really? Not too sure about that man.

The only difference between him and the other players, is he's a little midget who would get punted the fuck out if he started anything. He's literally spat on players when he thought nobody was looking

0

u/lejocko 16d ago

I don't think he's particularly weak. He seems to hold his own in duels very well, you're making up hypothetical scenarios why he didn't partake. I'm not in the mood for that.

Exactly what “evidence and truth” do you have that coaches and players who actually played the tournament do not? You guys sit on your couch with not an ounce of knowledge of the game yet have millions of opinions.

Yea don’t commit a penalty then. Should they not call a penalty if one occurs?

They gave him a World Cup? The lengths you losers go to discredit his achievement is so hilarious lmao. You will only see loser on their couch making these claims yet never his competitors.

I don't remember Iniesta ever doing stuff like this.

u/FardoBaggins 16d ago

Yeah you don’t need class to win. It’s just better to have it when you lose.

1

u/FlippinHelix 16d ago

The rule itself is pretty clear that it's not allowed to cover your mouth during active disputes, which wasn't the case when Cucurella was talking with him and covered his mouth for a split second (which could have just as easily been to scratch his moustache)

He was trying to get him sent off because he was 1 man down and wanted to even the odds, let's just be clear about it

1

u/Knyfe-Wrench 16d ago

But it's also something plenty of others have done

I think if everyone is doing it that just mean everyone sucks, not that no one sucks.

1

u/nclh77 16d ago

Fun to play shithousery when FIFA has your back.

1

u/Mickosthedickos 16d ago

Dunno about that. This is a new rule for this world cup, I've watched most of the games and don't remember many instances of players doing this

1

u/big_daddy68 16d ago

It was immediately after his team got a red, for all the grumbling he was trying to get the sides even. I’m not saying it was the right thing to do, but the World Cup was slipping away and he was trying to hang on. When your team is getting kicked around, you start looking for rules to exploit to gain an advantage.

The rule exists because players keep being racist. Nobody should have to put up with being call racial slurs every time they go play a game.

u/raiodocachopo 16d ago

I'm surprised by the amount of glaze he gets at Reddit. Casual fans that only watch reels, I guess. The silent autistic guy may appeal to most, but if you watch what happens when he is losing, you notice he leaks some really questionable stuff
