CAMPEOOOONNNN

@fiago7 So your reaction after seeing hundreds of thousands of posts claiming Argentina to be an awful, racist, cheating country because of comebacks against 3 teams is to ignore that hate campaign (and not question the PR behind those) but to suddenly be upset a bit of positivity? lol.

Keep in mind his dad was reported to be sick and in hospital during the tournament. Incredible what "journalism" is nowadays...

In the last four World Cup finals, only two runners-up stayed on the pitch until the trophy presentation: Argentina in 2014 and Argentina in 2026. Not Croatia, Not France. Did anyone say anything during that time? No, because that wouldn't get clicks. Guess which country is now being criticized and accused of disrespecting the winners simply for going over to acknowledge their own fans? Argentina, of course.

Even Speed couldn’t believe how Rodri won the Golden Ball over Leo Messi! 😳😱 @fifa & Infantino have no answer here. He did it just to get support from UEFA in the next election. Shame on Infantino & FIFA! 😂 🎥: @ishowspeedsui

🚨 Gavi 🇪🇸 PREND LA DÉFENSE de Leandro Paredes 🇦🇷👇 : « Je ne pense pas qu’il doit être suspendu ! ❌ Ce n’est pas une image à montrer aux enfants… mais dans le football, il y a aussi cette partie un peu plus violente. » 🎙️ Zone Mixte

Piers Morgan before he was paid by Ronaldo.

🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Gavi on whether Leandro Paredes and Argentina players should be PUNISHED after the incident with him, following the World Cup final: "No, no, I do NOT think they should be suspended... I understand that this doesn't present a good image for the children, but football has always had a more aggressive side." "I see that everything that happened is part of football. That's how the game was and always will be."

🚨🎙️| Gavi: “Should the Argentine players be punished for what happened post-match? I don’t think they should be suspended. I understand it doesn’t set the best example for children, but football has always had a more aggressive and intense side. For me, the red cards during the match were enough, and that should’ve been the end of it.” 🇪🇸🇦🇷

3D view of the 120th minute block by P. Cubarsí. This deserves a statue in Spain.

🚨 Lionel Scaloni: “Was the refereeing unfair? No, no. We lost because they were the better team. We have to acknowledge that they played better. "We probably arrived at the final running on empty, that’s the reality. "But sometimes it’s good to recognize that they were better, and I think doing so will make us better.”

EXCLUSIVE: Cardoso Varela is not 17. Cardoso Varela doesn't even exist. Cardoso Carlos Matumbe Varela, born 28.10.2008, is a ghost. A fiction. The real person is Petilson Carlos Matumbe Vihemba, born 20.07.2004. That makes him 22, not 17. We spoke to people within CD 1º de Agosto, the Angolan club that developed him. Their reply: "We don't know Cardoso Varela. We know Petilson." The club that raised him doesn't recognize the name on his Portuguese passport. They know Petilson. They know the 2004 birth date. Now the passport. Because this is where the story moves from football fraud to something far more serious. Cardoso Varela became a Portuguese citizen on 6 June 2022. Not through birth. Not through descent. Through an electronic request filed by a lawyer. The clerk at the citizen's shop in Laranjeiras looked at his citizenship application. We asked her which parent was Portuguese. Her answer: "Neither." A young man from Angola, with no Portuguese blood, no Portuguese ties, no Portuguese history. Suddenly a citizen of Portugal. Just like that. The lawyer who secured his nationality was Yasmina da Costa, a prominent lawyer named in the Pandora Papers. And FC Porto knew. During Vítor Bruno's tenure, people within the club contacted our source directly and were told the truth: the age had been falsified. A new name. A new age. A new nationality. Petilson Carlos Matumbe Vihemba, welcome to FC Porto. Investigation conducted in collaboration with Paulo Teixeira, a specialist in age fraud cases since 1994.

Reminder that the Members are forced to participate because if they break their contract they'll be sued for $30 Million+ That is a fact it's in the contract itself.

Fantástico texto sobre como as campanhas de ódio, em especial as que vimos na Copa do Mundo, ganham tração facilmente nas redes. O efeito manada não depende de racionalidade nem de fatos concretos - se há uma grande quantidade de pessoas defendendo algo, elas devem ter razão.

🇦🇷 The hate against Messi came out of nowhere, and it has nothing to do with football. Here's what's actually going on... Messi lifted the World Cup in December 2022 and the entire planet lost its mind celebrating. Three and a half years later, a chunk of the internet suddenly decided he's a villain. Nothing on the pitch changed. Same guy, same career, twenty years of footage anyone can check in under a minute. What changed is the feed. Villain edits started outperforming legend edits and the algorithm noticed. A 2018 MIT study tracked 126,000 claims across 3 million X users. False stories spread six times faster than true ones and got retweeted 70% more often. Outrage simply beats accuracy at getting attention. None of this needs a single big lie either. Illusory truth effect: see a claim enough times and it starts feeling true even when you know it's false, and the effect survives fact checks. Football is basically the most documented thing on earth. Every match, every angle, every ref decision, all archived. The narrative still won anyway. If the algorithm can flip public opinion on the most watched athlete alive, it can flip it on anyone with no footage to fall back on. Source: @LeoMessiFanZone, @therosieum / Writer: Sol

L’argument « humainement je préfère largement CR7 à Messi » est devenu pire que l’argument sportif je crois parce que s’identifier humainement à CR7 ça en dit long mdr

The only piece worth reading about Messi and Argentina right now. From the start, the hate campaign felt inorganic—and this exposes why. The implications are frightening, reaching far beyond one athlete, into how narratives are manufactured and public opinion weaponized.

🚨 Lionel Scaloni: “What Messi did at this World Cup is incredible”. “I hope people are proud of Leo. He’s the greatest footballer to have ever stepped onto a pitch”.

this is insane. exactly what i wrote about. @nypost you should be ashamed

Amazing read, the psychology behind hate campaigns are truly fascinating.
