With the exception of Messi, they all played like petulant, dirty thugs all through the world cup. Especially against Egypt in their quarter-final and against Spain in the final. They also politicized the semi-final against England with a stupid banner.

    They also started a fistfight after they lost the final and turned their backs on Spain when they received the trophy.

    Honestly, this team should be disqualified from the next world cup, but instead they're being celebrated.

    Messi was trying to get Cucurella red card. Cucurella was showing him that the other player was hit in the mouth and Messi started telling the referee that he covered his mouth to insult him. Was arguing that Cucurella should get red card for this. Incredibly desperate and pathetic.

    You can't say Messi isn't a thug when he is bribing the refs

    I mean, if there's bribing going on there's no guarantee it's Messi doing it. Given his long career and the fact he's (as far as I hear; I don't watch football) the only one not playing like a thug, I'd say it's much more likely someone is bribing them for him.

    fc barcelona was bribing the second powerfull man in spains referee organisation for 20 years+, got caught by the guardia civils financial division and they're still debating if there should be some sort of consequences. meanwhile most of the charges became time-barred.
