Argentina can't win the title. Too old , too slow and Scaloni is a bit stubborn. The only thing that I can think of is that they want to set up the match England Vs Argentina, just that England can average 1986.
It was clear to me from the first minutes of the first Argentinian match , that Messi legs are completely gone.
There is one thing though, being down two with 11 minutes to play and to loose, well well you ain't good enough.
This might sound unpleasant to some, there are the teams that mentally can't play 90 minutes.
Senegal? Congo? Etc Colombia, Ecuador???
Brazilians could have when different profile like Cafu , Ronaldo Nazario etc were there. Now we have Vicinius and he is more similar to the American rappers then Brazilian Cumbia, you catch my drift?
Whatever might have been behind the scenes, Argentina needed at least 2 goals, they got 3 . The challenge from Parades while the result was 2 2? Parades broke Colombia in the final of Copa America.
I was having the same debate with friend of mine, I asked him 5 times, is there anything that Egypt can be blamed of? He didn't answer.
Whatever the chances, weather legal or not were given someone still needs to convert them. That can't be arranged.
Honestly, I do agree that Argentina cant win with their current specs. However, when the referee is on their side, the scales heavily sways in their favour. Its like having an extra 12th player with a cheat code on your side
I saw the Egypt vs Argentina match yesterday and I am sure that the game was rigged. Egypt had one of its goals canceled due to a foul from when the ball was on the other side of the field; during that time, the referee havent called a foul. However, the moment when Egypt counterattacked and scored a goal, Messi started crying FOUL! and voila! The referee called a foul and canceled a goal.
Furthermore, Egypt had a penalty canceled because the referee refused to use the VAR as per Mohammad Salah's complaint that the Argentinan defence targeted his leg within the penalty box. The referee persistently refused stating that he was sure it wasnt a penalty yet when sports channels started the recaping the scene, they found out that Mo Salah was actually right and that his leg was TARGETED within the penalty box
2 goals were removed from Egypt and yet the referee kept giving yellow cards to the Egyptian team while the Argentina team that was playing roughly from the onset of the match and accrued so many fouls were given neither yellow nor red cards at all. The match ended 3-2 for Argentina but it should have been 4-3 for Egypt if the game was fair
All teams that played against Argentina have reported unfair treatment from referees. No other team complained from referee favouritism excpet when they are facing Argentina throughout the whole tournament
Just look at this; can this really be a coincidence?
How often do teams playing in World Cup quarterfinals get booked:
England - Card per every 7 fouls
Morocco - Card per every 9,8 fouls
Belgium - Card per every 10 fouls
Switzerland - Card per every 11,5 fouls
France - Card per every 12,2 fouls
Norway - Card per every 13,6 fouls
Spain - Card per every 17,5 fouls
Argentina - Card per every 22 fouls
