Messi looks empty. Like Killua crushing that guy heart. I'm so strong I'm gonna kill you and not feel a thing.
Absolutely true. Don’t know why Messi gets this good boy image
Rodrygo is a fucking idiot, is simple enough. He always was and if someone is a "cagón" is nothing but himself that was visibly shitting his pants before taking the penalti against Croatia. I give 0 fucks for how age is him, he needs to be prepared enough.
Stop crying
The Messi has become the messr
my man's acting like he just got introduced to the COMNEBOL confederation
I mean Rodrygo started it but ok
Yeah, how do you call an entire team "shitters", and when they respond to you they are now the bad guys?
I mean we don't know what Rodrygo and De Paul were saying before Messi came and situation escalated but ok. It's still bunch of nothing between players, psychotic fans are the problem here. Level of abuse Rodrygo got is just not warrented.
Maybe first tell your kid to work on his game instead of talking shit to the greatest player of all time...
The little dictator sends his regards
Lol the Messi cockriding on here is insane.
He’s the best player of all time. He’s not a saint as much as some of you act like it.
What should he have done when the police started beating Argentine fans and the Brazilian players not only didn't help the Argentine players try to calm down the police but mocked them for it?
He could do the same thing he does when Argentinians are racist towards Brazilians and other nations, nothing lol
Cry me a river, Argentinians are the worst fans of all in SA, they were fighting brazilians before the cops came in.
Rodrygo called Messi a "coward" for standing up to his people. Yet calling him out for being wrong means cockriding Messi? Are you really that fucking dumb?
Lol
From defending cops that like beating women with babies you can't come back
What a disgusting person
How the post is formulated is funny. Rodrygo's father ATTACKS Messi. ATTACKS if this is an attack what Messi has done last few games is a crime. Messi dickriding is real here.
What do u mean by saint? Rodrygo called them cowards because didnt want to play because of brazilian power abuse.. u wanted messi to shut up? lol
always wonder why family members of football players/celeberties feel the need to spew nonsense on social media
It’s the classic soccer mom/dad trope. Same shit happened with Gio Reyna and his parents.
off topic, but parents should be prohibited from visiting players during training.
Messi is the goat but it’s true people overplay how nice he is and portray him as some sort of kind and pacifist saint when throughout his career he’s shown he’s definitely not above some dirtiness and feistiness in his play and conduct.
Not saying he’s particularly terrible but let’s get it straight the guy isn’t squeaky clean like Kante or someone like that
Yet another reason why you should keep your parents from social media, especially if you’re a famous person.
Does Rodrygo need daddy to defend him? Him and Ramsdale should start a needing parents to defend them club together
Calls someone a coward. Hides behind his dad for backup....
Am I crazy or does this situation feel incredibly overblown? At the end of the day, it was two players talking shit, and it seems like people are making it out like some incredibly violent interaction occurred.
Also, maybe people in this sub haven't gotten over the Messi vs Ronaldo bullshit, but it was Rodrygo talking shit after the Argentinian national team to their credit tried deescalating the situation. Then they lost the fucking game to Argentina. I fail to see how this situation is embarrassing to Messi in any way. Unless you think Messi is some morally-just angel with the temperament of a preschool teacher, his response seems pretty normal in comparison to other players
Tbf I do think that anyone not named messi would have gotten a straight red for putting their hands around another player’s neck like that
Unless you think Messi is some morally-just angel with the temperament of a preschool teacher
I think most people do treat Messi that way though.
Oh yeah rodrygo suffered racism from half the argentinian population and it is just overblown
cmon just because it is messi you guys are going to ignore what is happening here?
There's nothing going on here that isn't normal
The game was bad, they lose, brasilian police repressing argentians, rodrygo calling coward a team that tried to deescalate the situation and defend the safety of the public... They have to shift the conversation somehow
Messi is definitely in his shithouse phase but rodrygo deserved it.
Swear it was light as fuck, just put his hand on Rodrygo's neck for a bit. It's nowhere near to what some people are saying (Choking, violence.)
This shit happens, south american qualifiers are absolute cinema.
From the outside looking in, Brazil are looking real pathetic right now.
No Lies. Messi and Neck of the Opponent - Better Love Story than Twilight.
What people fail to mention here is that (non surprisingly) argentinians are harassing Rodrygo with racism ever since the game.
I almost yelled at my dad when I was a kid for annoying me while I was trying to play, I don’t know how professionals allow their family members to comment on things like this
From what I understand, Messi refused to play until police stopped beating Argentinian fans with batons and Rodrygo got pissy and started calling him a coward for it?
Not sure what his dad’s upset about. Maybe he should teach his son to keep his mouth shut instead of needlessly talking nonsense.
So fans are getting beat up on the stands, Argentinian players make a stance and leave the field and get called cowards by the likes of Rodrygo and somehow Messi is the villain for calling him up.
Thiee new Brazilian players are extremly unlikable
School ground stuff by Brazil. Everything always loses context in the noise and media starts just picking on high profile players for sensationalism.
They are a bunch of playboys with no empathy
They are both on the wrong here and anyone who can't see that is seriously biased.
Rodrygo should see what is going on in the stands. You can blame his age for being naive but at the end of the day what he said was wrong. A football game is never bigger than real situations going around. Its the same situation with Vini getting racially abused. No player should be complaining if the match is paused. He's being a shitty human being here.
On the other hand, Messi is fucking 36 year old and the way he grabs people is stupid and should be facing a couple of games suspension. And it's also up to him as the senior player and leader on the pitch to explain to someone ~15 years younger about the situation and how he should be acting.
The fact that Messi was even talking about how he's the champion and how he won it there should show anyone that he is acting like a baby. He's supposed to be a captain but his actions on the pitch looked like a school bully especially with De Paul being his bodyguard waiting to jerk him off the first second he got.
There are shorter ways to say you’ve never played football
I am not sure what his dad is trying to do here at all. Surely he is defending his son, but this was just one of the many arguments between players that happen every game or so.
I mean you could make a poor argument for Rodrygo that he might have not realise how terrible the cops were acting at that time, but after the game there is no way his father didn't see bleeding and comatose fans leaving the stadium on stretchers.
he is trying to defend his son, he is going to get traction, the brazilian football fans are obviously united, and will give support.
This whole situation is not that surprising, but it sure is good shit to watch.
You know that Argentina was beating the shit out of us the whole match like they always do.
And Messi is always portraid as this nice guy but people who watch the matches know that he is not that nice.
Argentinians are the worst out of all the south american teams to face because they hit you and them pretend that nothing happens.
We, from South America know how these guys behave on and off the pitch.
As for the police beating up argentinians, its terrible but they beat brazilians much worse, its Brazil nothing to do with beating up other fans.
And remember, there were several fights between both sides before the police did anything.
