Lionel Messi and Lisandro Martínez have both been named in the World Cup Team of the Tournament.
Messi and Martínez are the two Argentine players named in the World Cup’s best players. The Argentina national team made the World Cup final and Lionel Messi had eight goals and four assists in eight matches.
Lisandro Martínez had one goal and one assist in seven matches. Here is the team of the World Cup:
Vozinha; Cucurella, Upamecano, Lisandro Martínez, Porro; Bellingham, Rodri, Olise; Messi, Haaland and Mbappé
Let’s assume for the sake of argument that the rumors are true, why is it that the Albiceleste is always in the middle of one controversy or another, why bring unneeded attention and criticism for no damn reason???
Scaloni said it was just a game Vs England but it was anything but and that was fine during the game but why hold up a banner knowing that you’re going to catch a lot of flak for right before the final!
Dibu just won the WC and right there Infront of billions, what did he do with the trophy!
Enzo singing some dumb song about the French players after winning Copa America!!
Prestianni now notorious for racially abusing Vini that a player covering his mouth while talking to another is a straight RED!!
The fight after the final, who cares who pushed who or who said what to whom, the game is over and didn’t Barco say something to Jude just the game before!!!
How the players acted, Otamendi for one sticking his tongue out at Dutchy after the PK shootout in the last WC
and so on and so forth……..why can’t they just cut the shit and play without causing a damn scene for no reason continuously!
Or Parides kicking the ball into Dutchy bench!!!! I mean, just blatant stupidity, that could have had severe consequences on that crucial game, I mean C’MON

I saw some Argentina fans on Twitter saying Paredes still deserves a spot lol.
Argentina vs. Spain – First Half
Spain: 3 shots (0 on target)
Argentina vs. Spain – Second Half
Spain: 12 shots (8 on target)
What changed? How did the second half become so terrible for us?
People don’t talk about it because of Paredes’ viral block against Egypt which was grossly overhyped,but he was a complete liability against Switzerland. Our game got much better once he was substituted against England, and we became significantly worse once he replaced Nico against Spain.
His unnecessary antics, like kicking Rodri, also made the referee lose his patience, leading to harsher decisions against our players. That’s how Enzo ended up getting sent off.
I hope people start seeing Paredes for what he really is and stop overhyping his World Cup campaign. He was terrible overall, and that one moment against Egypt made him massively overrated. He contributed little besides playing endless back passes and couldn’t even complete simple sideways passes against Spain. Always looked vulnerable against pace and quick counter attacks
He was poor at the 2022 World Cup as well. Against the Netherlands, he brought the same unnecessary, hot headed attitude that escalated the entire match. He could easily have been sent off and ruined Argentina’s World Cup.
It’s time to retire him from the national team and never call him up again. He has been one of the most overrated and frustrating players of the Scaloni era…
Man, argentina players are too emotional, they are part of the blame and need to stop unnecessary antics they have to be educeted.
I lost respect molina and paredes because what they did in the final
Yeah, it was totally unnecessary, and even though I kinda get why they were frustrated about the match, it was still unsportsmanlike.
Dibu would’ve won another one if he hadn’t injured his fingers. As the tournament progressed, he looked sharper and sharper. What a great performance in the final. Hats off.
Also, kudos to Cuti and Tagliafico. They had an awesome tournament and gave their all…
What about Tapia’s voice message? Screw this AI, you don’t know what is real and what’s not.
That’s a problem I have now. I want to see more discussion and ideas on social media, but I’m never 100% sure that a video or picture I’m looking at is real. AI making it easy for anyone to create fake images, video and sound is making it hard to believe what we see online.
