    The fact that your immediate thought was “FiFa cOnSpIRaCy!!!” when you saw an example of refereeing inconsistency within a tournament suggests that yes, this was your first time watching football.

        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.

        You said this in direct response to a video titled ‘Four minute compilation of referee favoring Argentine over Egypt in World Cup’. I’m not sure if you have short-term memory loss, or are just trying to bluff your way out after realising how embarrassing your original comment was, but it’s still right there for everyone to see.

          Oh so it doesn’t say its a conspiracy to fix this match, you made that up? Are the “everyone” in the room with you right now?

          Honestly, you read what you wanted to read, NOT what was actuality written. I do not believe the draw was anything but pushed in a favourable direction, but show me the EXACT words where I said this match was fixed? Draw yes, match fuck off.

          Again, I fucking didnt, you didnt read what was written, did you?

              Continuing with the projection? You cant actually back up anything you say, can you? You’ve had opportunity and cant, if it was there you would have posted it already, pathetic.
