🚨JUST IN: FIFA STATEMENT 🚨
Following Argentina’s victory over Switzerland, FIFA have reportedly launched an emergency investigation into why every team suddenly remembers how to defend like their lives depend on it whenever Argentina are involved.
Tournament analysts are confused.
Against everyone else, teams play attacking football.
Against Argentina, they transform into:
•6 centre-backs.
•4 defensive midfielders.
•A goalkeeper auditioning for Yashin.
•One striker whose only job is to chase shadows for 90 minutes.
Switzerland reportedly submitted a tactical sheet that simply read:
“Survive. Pray. If Messi gets the ball… everybody.”
They defended, they blocked, they tackled, they wasted time, they frustrated Argentina for over 100 minutes…
Then Julián Álvarez remembered long-range goals exist.
Suddenly the game plan changed from:
“We’re taking this to penalties.”
to
“Book the flight home.”
Meanwhile, football Twitter produced its fastest tactical transformation ever:
Minute 105:
“Argentina are finished.”
Minute 112:
“Actually, Switzerland were never that good.”
Minute 120:
“We’re saving our takes for the England game.”
Scientists are now studying how football fans can switch narratives in under 30 seconds.
Sources also confirm Switzerland have requested permission to play with 15 defenders next World Cup.
FIFA are yet to respond. 🍿
