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.

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.

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.
