    I said to friends before the world cup even started or had even been drawn, that FIFA 100% wanted Messi in another final as hes a money printer for them.

    They have had by far the easiest route on paper to the final I can see, and only have the Swiss and either England or Norway left.

    I lost all faith for draws being anything other than fixed a long time ago, and its not just the FIFA ones.

      I’m not going to comment on the draw, since I have seen so many questionable draws over the last decade. But don’t let this extraordinarily biased video be part of your proof that FIFA is pushing for Messi to win. The only people who think the ref was biased against Egypt are Egyptians.
