    It's not about the amount of fouls, it's about what the fouls were.

    Enzo's first yellow was complaining after faking a foul.

    Argentina played dirty, their yellows were completely deserved and they did absolutely nothing but petty moves the entire game.

    Glad Spain won. It's a mystery that Argentina, with the level they offered last night, even made it so far.

    I watch football every week, Paredes should have seen 4 yellows, Argentina plays a game of grabbing and pushing to irritate the opponents and then starts little fights to break the rhythm of the game.

    Maybe that's how it is in South America, I don't watch South American football but in Europe that's trash and with a good ref you start seeing yellows for repeated faults even on small offenses until it stops.

    If I were Argentinan, I'd be embarrassed for my country today with how that team acted yesterday.

    And here you are still stroking away at it.

    There's a reason the world was not cheering for Spain, but cheering AGAINST Argentina. Because your whole country are a bunch of fucking losers.

    Disagree VARgentina, you've gotten away with a lot of hate the last few years because of Messi's fanboys. Once he retires people will remember that Argentina are and always have been dirty cheats. At least you are the best in the world at something, chin up lad!

    Look at you going around defending the Argentinian thugs who just produced what has been described by many as the worst world cup final performance by a team ever. Another accolade for Messi to win at the tail end of his career as one of the best players of all time.

    Argentina were pathetic in the final and even worse after the final whistle. It was absolutely men against entitled little boys out there and the rest of the planet is delighted Spain and football won on the night. I only wish I could get that 2 1/2 hours of my life back. Dirty, cheating Argentine losers stole it from me like they tried to steal the world cup.

    We’re the most awful team that did the most awful things.

    We're asking you to acknowledge that factual events took place, we aren't saying other teams didn't do things like that; but we are talking to you, not to them.

    Only one team came to the final to play football, Spain had 20 shots 12 on target, Argentina had 2 shots with none on target in 120 mins of football. Argentina came to spoil the game and hoped to steal it on penalties. If I was an Argentina fan I would be embarrassed by the team and even more so by their petelent display at the end physically assaulting the Spanish players. The Argentinians had no right to be that upset, they were never in the game.

    Football was the real winner.

    Why would I name a football club? Are you alright?

    Again, it's not about the numbers. There is no stat on the severity of fouls. Did you even watch the matches? Or are you willfully blind to the shit your favorite team does?

    I don't know how you guys play football in South America, but in the rest of the world we tend to follow the rules and play the game, rather than try and takedown the opponents.

    0 shots on goal in 120 minutes is hard to be envious about.

    Bro the highest quality league is the spanish one. Barca and Real Madrid alone dominate football.

    The Argentinian league might as well be called "boca v river" and one of them even got relegated a few years ago

    EDIT : The reason Messi became huge was literally because Barcelona moved him out of fucking Rosario. They couldn't even get him the medicine he needed for his growth

    The problem wasn’t getting it, it was paying. Messi would’ve been messi regardless of where he went.

    Che si Messi no recibio las hormonas de crecer cuando era chico, seria el Enano de Rosario (Como el enano de Boca), no el proximo Pele.

    The problem wasn’t getting it, it was paying.

    The economic situation in argentina is so shit that people aren't getting the medical care they need. Admit it man.

    Nor did I criticize or talk abount any league of any kind.

    It was directed at the spanish football team which basically has no history at all before 2010.

    How has the team which feeds off the academies of Real Madrid, Barcelona and others like, Atletico Bilabo, who are one of the few xenophobic regions that turn that xenophobia into results for their region, a country which has no football history?

    Do keep in mind though, Barcelona is in Catalunya.

    I just checked, and, yes , it turns out Catalonia is a region of spain. Maybe you're confusing portugal with Catalonia? That's why CR7 is not part of the spanish squad, but various catalonians, argonians, galicians, and yes, basque players are part of the spanish squad, and they got there through the rich history of football the country has.

    First, Spain (and I'm not reading this ridiculous wall of text).

    Second, Argentina.

    Third, England.

    Fourth, France.

    Fifth, my country's "past accolade" was 2 years ago. Which is the least amount of time possible after losing the world cup.

    Yes, I know. Argentina was down for a very long time. The 2022 world cup is pretty much the only good thing that happened to them in the last 40 years. Trying to diminish it would be cruel. So yes, Spaniards will say they envy you but they are just being nice.

    You see... other countries don't just have football. We have growing economies, scientific achievements, cultural achievements and politicians that are not an international embarrassment. Argentina was in constant crisis for decades, had 200% inflation, growing crime and corruption. So no, people don't really think of Argentina with envy. Personally, I'm glad they have football to help them get through tough times but that's because I have some friends form Argentina and I visited it couple of years ago. Most people don't think about it at all.

    (some specific type of syringe, not all syringes)

    pen - 1930

    bypass - 1970

    last Nobel prize - 1984

    So as I said, not much beyond football in the last 40 years. I wish you all the best but seriously, no one is envious.

    You also didn’t answer my other question, if there is nothing spaniards like from Argentina, why are lots of our grandparents immigrants and why are there 544.000 spanish immigrants right now?

    Because about 90 years ago there was a civil war in Spain and couple of other big wars in Europe. After the war Spain was in a bad state, similar to how Argentina is today, and a lot of people emigrated looking for better life. Argentina was a popular destination because it was culturally similar and people spoke the same language. It was also more stable and welcoming to immigrants as it was looking for people to colonize it's empty land. Isn't that obvious?

    Quick question, where do you think spain would be without all of the gold they stole from America and if they weren’t in the EU?

    Why not go back even further? Where would Spain be if it didn't join the Roman Empire? I'm talking about the last 40 years and you keep bringing up ancient history. It just confirms you really don't have nothing to be proud of in the last decades. Nothing other than football. I'm not saying it to make fun of Argentina. It's just facts. If you really think Europeans are envious of it you're delusional. And no amount of facts will cure your delusions.

    I’m talking historically recent events

    Nothing you mentioned (other than football) is recent. If you can't figure out why people that emigrated couple of decades ago are still there I can't help you.

    I inow what that law is, I don't need to look it up. You're right though, it's far lower and that makes sense.

    Saying that argentinians would "die" to immigrate to spain is a big stretch though. Argentinians usually pick spain because of the language and cultural similarities. However, I feel that Italians are far nicer and share even more culture with us. If we judge just the country, Spain and Italy are far from the best in the region. They aren't in Argentina's situation simply because they're in the EU.

    I don't think it's as much about the level of Argentina and more about the level Spain plays at. There's basically no team that can beat them at the moment. The best you can do is defend and hope they don't score (like Cape Verde did). They are so dominant and so good at holding the ball that they even made a team like France look incompetent. .

    Most of the Argentina players didn't play at their best (just like they've done all tournament) but Spain also just made it impossible for them. Add to that the injuries and forced subs of both of their starting centre backs, the red card and that idiot Paredes coming and only kicking players instead of the ball and there was just no chance of them achieving anything.

    I feel bad for Messi, he really dragged the team all the way to the final only for his teammates to completely give up once they got there. It made it easy for Spain to neutralize Messi and with that, all threat from Argentina was gone. If Messi retires (which I think he will), I think Argentina won't be much of a threat for the foreseeable future.
