Tough exit for the Dutch, you had my support all the way.
Yeah what a slaughter. Messi slamming the ball out of the air with his hands, his team m8 2, a ball shot into the dug out, a questionable penalty mid match, when the Dutch got tackled inside the box nothing happend, two Argentina's headbutting each other, tackling from behind and they got the ball from the ref and lousy sportsmanship (shooting the ball away at the last second when grabbing the ball when there was a trow in ect). Messi and his friend should have gotten yellow for tapping the ball out of the air. And than there was after the match Messi swearing at Weghorst during a interview and sneering at van Gaal. I dont say we played nice but dam it makes you think i would rather lost from the USA than Argentina, you guys played really well and had great sportsmanship. Our players kept on laughing out of disbelieve of what was happening here.
But I did cheer hard when we made 2-2 at the very last second, they really thought they had. Seeing all those depressed faces on the tribunes after seeing them already partying made me smile so hard hehe. I did enjoy the tournament more than i thought i would.
Messi being extremely toxic here:
"For those watching from home, it was easy to miss that, after scoring his second-half penalty, Messi celebrated with his team-mates before walking on his own to the dugouts’ side of the pitch."
"Messi calmly walked in the direction of the Netherlands coaching staff."
"Television cameras caught Messi making a beeline for Davids, while pointing towards the tunnel and moving his thumb and fingers together in a ‘talking’ motion. "
Messi then proceeded to… say exactly what he thought about the referee anyway:
“We were scared before the game because we knew what this was. I think FIFA must think about it, they cannot put a referee like that for these important games, for such a pivotal game — a referee who isn’t up to the task.”
Martinez went even further when he was interviewed by beIN Sports a few moments later. “The referee was giving everything to them. He gave 10 minutes (of second-half stoppage time) for no reason,” he said.
“He gave a free kick outside the box to them two or three times. He just wanted them to score, that’s basically it. So hopefully we don’t have that referee anymore, because he’s useless.”
