Most PKs ever awarded to a single team in a WC tournament ever, with especially dubious PKs against Poland and in the final when Di Maria wrapped his leg around Dembele and was already falling down.
Messi verbally abuses the ref after the Netherlands game, no fine, no suspension, and ref gets sent home the next day.
Messi taunts the Dutch sideline, no cards.
Argentina players kicking the ball at the Netherlands bench, no cards.
Messi handling the ball deliberately to stop a play, no card.
Multiple Otamendi harsh dirty tackles in the final, no card.
Martinez deliberately throwing the ball away in the middle of France's PKs TWICE and ref only books him the second time.
Only player to miss tow PKs at the same tournament in WC history, but no one talks about it.
The fact that Hassan Al-Thawadi said this and nobody batted an eye.
The fact that Gianni Infantino said, "It would be an injustice if Messi retired without winning the World Cup." and nobody batted an eye.
With the fact that the WC took place in a human rights violating garbage dump of a country due to massive bribe money, and the amount of money that is involved in world soccer, it's shocking that too many f*cking idiots and casuals in this world can't see the amount of corruption and scripting going on to ensure certain outcomes are met (I.E. Messi going out on top.) FIFA haven't been shy in their adoration for Messi.
