Let’s just say if it was Ronaldo instead of poster boy Messi then everyone would be shitting on Ronaldo. 100%
Maybe first tell your kid to work on his game instead of talking shit to the greatest player of all time…
The little dictator sends his regards
Lol the Messi cockriding on here is insane.
He’s the best player of all time. He’s not a saint as much as some of you act like it.
This sub loves to meat ride Messi , 🤓 my goat can do no wrong 😎😎 it’s the Uruguayan that made Messi choke him 🤬 for disrespecting the 🐐
This is the first time i see the word “Messi” without a “deserves a red card for being alive” in every comment but ok
What do u mean by saint? Rodrygo called them cowards because didnt want to play because of brazilian power abuse… u wanted messi to shut up? lol
I mean he consistently shuts up and plays when Argentina racially abuses him…. It’s not right to defend the Brazilian police but idk how people are overlooking that important fact in whatever this mess is.
How can you get downvoted by writting the truth lol
messi cock riding is insane on this sub and has been ever since last year
This mess was all about brazilian police abuse.
The racism happened after the match in his social networks
What should he have done when the police started beating Argentine fans and the Brazilian players not only didn’t help the Argentine players try to calm down the police but mocked them for it?
He could do the same thing he does when Argentinians are racist towards Brazilians and other nations, nothing lol
Cry me a river, Argentinians are the worst fans of all in SA, they were fighting brazilians before the cops came in.
Rich coming from a Brazilian huh, away fans can’t even place a foot in Rio without getting beaten or robbed lmao
Rodrygo and co could do the same thing btw
The city is dangerous and your fans are racist and agressive, both can be true.
Your argument means nothing, at least I know Rio is dangerous, but people dont rob you beacuse of your nationality, they just rob lol
I am sure targeting those who speak Spanish or wear a specific football shirt was just coincidence lol. Your fans are prominently violent too, the city may be dangerous but i remind you attacks in Copacabana were lead by fans (if u want to call them that btw).
Also Brazilians on twitter celebrating the stolen stuff as if they were “trophies” or justifying police brutality… no seas caradura jaja
Well, that is the reason I moved out of Rio. The city is terribly dangerous, but I think anyone can get it.
This time it were the Boca fans, but most times its American tourists and of course the citizens of the city.
If Rio was not dangerous it would be the best city in the world lol
Basically, the city is a shithole thus no football matches should be played and the city should be banned from NT matches atleast until the world cup
There is no security for any fan that goes there so it should not be allowed to be a place for a event
From defending cops that like beating women with babies you can’t come back
What a disgusting person
How the post is formulated is funny. Rodrygo’s father ATTACKS Messi. ATTACKS if this is an attack what Messi has done last few games is a crime. Messi dickriding is real here.
Messi hate is real here.
Other way aroudn bud.
Rodrygo called Messi a “coward” for standing up to his people. Yet calling him out for being wrong means cockriding Messi? Are you really that fucking dumb?
Lol
Messi is the goat but it’s true people overplay how nice he is and portray him as some sort of kind and pacifist saint when throughout his career he’s shown he’s definitely not above some dirtiness and feistiness in his play and conduct.
Not saying he’s particularly terrible but let’s get it straight the guy isn’t squeaky clean like Kante or someone like that
He’s definitely nicer than Ronaldo
Well yeah that’s kinda obvious but this isn’t about Ronaldo lmao why do Messi fans (and Ronaldo fans) still always have to compare them? I honestly thought that shit was left to the 12 year olds in 2015 but it’s funny it still happens in 2023
off topic, but parents should be prohibited from visiting players during training.
Tangentially related, this is thought to be one of the reasons Suarez bit someone in the WC. He’d had his issues, obviously, but it was reported that seeing a sports psychologist was an FSG-mandated condition of his returning to play after his suspension. The counseling, anecdotally, seemed to improve his anger management abilities. His intensity on the pitch never wavered, but (iirc) his proclivity to pick up yellows for dumb shit like kicking balls away, went down significantly.
Then, the World Cup happens, he’s whisked away from Liverpool, his psychologist, and his support structure, and is told in so many words that the fate of the Uruguayan national team is on his shoulders. In that context, while in no way excusing his actions, it’s not necessarily that difficult to see why he relapsed.
What about him biting Ivanovic while playing for Liverpool?
Why can’t parents of footballers be like the mothers of the Moroccan NT in 2022? The coach invited them to stay with the players during the whole cup, during all matches and sometimes training, and it was a great idea, the once questionable moral of the squad was very very high. But at the same time they made sure to know how to manage it with the media, the mothers knew not to step during any interview or any social media, they appeared on images and clips but abstained from being nuisances. Imagine putting Rabiot and Mbappé’s mothers in the same room for longer than a minute lmao
Yet another reason why you should keep your parents from social media, especially if you’re a famous person.
This kid Will ever stop crying? Jeez
So fans are getting beat up on the stands, Argentinian players make a stance and leave the field and get called cowards by the likes of Rodrygo and somehow Messi is the villain for calling him up.
Thiee new Brazilian players are extremly unlikable
How’s the taste of messi’s cock you pessidog meat rider?
They also aren’t very good it seems.
i didn’t like the way Messi grabbed Rodrygo
Messi likes choking now ig
They are both on the wrong here and anyone who can’t see that is seriously biased.
Rodrygo should see what is going on in the stands. You can blame his age for being naive but at the end of the day what he said was wrong. A football game is never bigger than real situations going around. Its the same situation with Vini getting racially abused. No player should be complaining if the match is paused. He’s being a shitty human being here.
On the other hand, Messi is fucking 36 year old and the way he grabs people is stupid and should be facing a couple of games suspension. And it’s also up to him as the senior player and leader on the pitch to explain to someone ~15 years younger about the situation and how he should be acting.
The fact that Messi was even talking about how he’s the champion and how he won it there should show anyone that he is acting like a baby. He’s supposed to be a captain but his actions on the pitch looked like a school bully especially with De Paul being his bodyguard waiting to jerk him off the first second he got.
There are shorter ways to say you’ve never played football
They are a bunch of playboys with no empathy
I am not sure what his dad is trying to do here at all. Surely he is defending his son, but this was just one of the many arguments between players that happen every game or so.
I mean you could make a poor argument for Rodrygo that he might have not realise how terrible the cops were acting at that time, but after the game there is no way his father didn’t see bleeding and comatose fans leaving the stadium on stretchers.
He could have thought that there is also the chance that the police are protecting another group of fans from hooligans ie it is fair.
Also players shouldn’t leave the pitch without the consent of the ref.he is trying to defend his son, he is going to get traction, the brazilian football fans are obviously united, and will give support.
This whole situation is not that surprising, but it sure is good shit to watch.
Are all these suddenly ~20 year old millionaires unlikeable? Well I’ll be…
As a brazilian Rodrygo should have kept his mouth shut. When Messi said “How are we cowards if we just won the world cup?”. Rodrygo should have said “Congrats in winning the WC, Messi, now your NT has the same number of WCs as Pelé”. Can’t even trash talk properly ffs.
He is saying that Messi is not the saint that he is treated as being as him grabbing the neck of two opositors clearly shows, which is true. I don’t see how Rodrygo doing what is pretty regular shit talking makes him unlikable either
lol, Messi is clearly grabbing a throat in the picture. This is not professional, however you look at it. And I’ve seen him do it more than once. So stop protecting him like he is your god and can do no harm.
Petulant prima donnas who were raised on the stories of Brazilian footballing supremacy and didn’t put in the work to maintain the legacy. The mighty have fallen and they’re just a shadow of their former selves now.
You know that Argentina was beating the shit out of us the whole match like they always do.
And Messi is always portraid as this nice guy but people who watch the matches know that he is not that nice.
Argentinians are the worst out of all the south american teams to face because they hit you and them pretend that nothing happens.
We, from South America know how these guys behave on and off the pitch.
As for the police beating up argentinians, its terrible but they beat brazilians much worse, its Brazil nothing to do with beating up other fans.
And remember, there were several fights between both sides before the police did anything.
???
Dude was busy tweeting, he only looked at the TV whenever Brazil had the ball. It’s understandable that he didn’t see how many fouls Brazil comitted.
School ground stuff by Brazil. Everything always loses context in the noise and media starts just picking on high profile players for sensationalism.
The entire Argentinian squad is unlikeable
Just that fucktard Enzo Fernandez
It does make sense to me at all.
It’s funny, I don’t know if it was here at the beginning of the post or some other thread but godDAMN were quick to shit on Messi following this. So many people being like “he’s a cunt” “despicable human being” “I always knew he was horrible.”
Like what?! Some people just love to hop on any bandwagon
Does Rodrygo need daddy to defend him? Him and Ramsdale should start a needing parents to defend them club together
always wonder why family members of football players/celeberties feel the need to spew nonsense on social media
Not just football. Similar shit happened with tennis star Djokovic’s family in their Covid drama.
This is pretty regular stuff, don’t know why rsoccer is going crazy about it. Someone shit talked his son and he is calling it that person behavior in the last games, what is so outrageous about it?
Messi dick riders rule the world
It’s the classic soccer mom/dad trope. Same shit happened with Gio Reyna and his parents.
Calls someone a coward. Hides behind his dad for backup…
Am I crazy or does this situation feel incredibly overblown? At the end of the day, it was two players talking shit, and it seems like people are making it out like some incredibly violent interaction occurred.
Also, maybe people in this sub haven’t gotten over the Messi vs Ronaldo bullshit, but it was Rodrygo talking shit after the Argentinian national team to their credit tried deescalating the situation. Then they lost the fucking game to Argentina. I fail to see how this situation is embarrassing to Messi in any way. Unless you think Messi is some morally-just angel with the temperament of a preschool teacher, his response seems pretty normal in comparison to other players
It actually makes me like Messi more. I like to see people be passionate and fight for their country.
How’s the taste of that robber’ meat you pessidog meat rider?
Lol when people make fun of r/realmadrid they are specifically making fun if weirdos like you
Of course it is, Brazil are embarrassed and need to deflect from their recent results. They aren’t the Brazil of old but carry themselves with the attitude.
It’s completely overblown. Stupid by Rodrygo to call them cowards in this situation but typical trash talk. “We’re the champions blah blah blah”.
This doesn’t even get talked about the next day if it was the 90s or 2000s. But the drama monsters must feed.
Tbf I do think that anyone not named messi would have gotten a straight red for putting their hands around another player’s neck like that
Mate, that happened before the game started.
Mexican players do that all the time in the USMNT/MEX match up so I doubt it.
The game was bad, they lose, brasilian police repressing argentians, rodrygo calling coward a team that tried to deescalate the situation and defend the safety of the public… They have to shift the conversation somehow
Go look at the tales on r/realnadrid. Take a hazmat suit with you.
And none of them see how cringey it is that a player’s father posts shit like this on Instagram like a wittle baby.
This is literally just regular beef between two footballers from rival countries. They are acting like Messi racially abused Rodrygo himself.
People were genuinely saying he was being racist.
idiot takes on there. its stupid ppl say rodrygo and vini only call out racism BCS they have “victim mindset”. but that doesn’t mean rodrygo was an asshole to messi and argentine fans/players. two things can be right at the same time. argenine fans shouldn’t have been racist, and rodrygo should have shut his mouth and contain his impatience.
Those man absolutely despise messi with a passion, always see a bunch of real Madrid flairs in messi threads, its actually hilarious.
Most takes on the subs of specific teams are cancer.
Tu primer error fue ir a arr eslash real madrid
Postearon un link al post en r/fulbo. Lamento mi decisión.
Jaysus.
I would be embarrassed for Messi if he didn’t talk back.
Oh yeah rodrygo suffered racism from half the argentinian population and it is just overblown
cmon just because it is messi you guys are going to ignore what is happening here?
Did you visit the Real Madrid sub recently? Rodrigo getting racial comments has nothing to do with Messi yet everyone is talking shit about messi there, it’s like they couldn’t care less about Rodrigo they just got a reason to hate on messi again. Racism - bad. Rodrigo calling the argentine team “cowards” because they refused to play while the police were beating their fans in the stands - also bad. Both can be bad, no one is justifying racism nor is anyone saying he deserves it
it has to do with messi, he is conivent with the racism of his countrymen by never speaking agains it
also lol trying to equate calling messi a coward to racism
Was Messi racist? Is he culpable for the actions of his countrymen?
he is conivent, he never speaks agains racism, even when his country always does this shit
Sorry, please try that again in intelligible language, I don’t know what “conivent” is.
No excusing it, but all players are convenient when speaking against racism. I mean, I didn’t see Rodrygo or Vini criticizing their own supporters when they were racist towards Araujo…
There’s nothing going on here that isn’t normal
I mean that had nothing to do with Messi though? Messi didn’t make any racist comments, Messi didn’t ask people to be racist, Messi stood up for his team that’s it… What the rest of Argentina does isn’t his responsibility right? Why would you blame the captain of the football team for the country to be racist? As for Messi himself I’m pretty sure him and Neymar were as close as brothers, clearly not something you’d see a racist do
And Rodrygo literally started this cause Messi went onto lead his team in protest against their people being beaten up? Did you even see the bleeding guy’s images?
Those racist comments are wrong on so many different levels, but that is not Messi’s fault, in the issue between Rodrygo and Messi, any non biased guy knows it was just Rodrygo being a brat
A 19 year old tennis player or NBA player simply cannot go talk shit to Federer/ LeBron, that’s just being a dick to a legend
By your logic Rodrygo is to blame for the Police brutality that Argentina fans suffer everytime they go to Brasil lol
Please explain for me what actually happened. I have seen reports about crowd trouble also, is this connected?
It’s very connected. The Brazilian FA and/or the stadium messed up and placed the away fans right in the middle of the home crowd. A fight broke out in the stands. The Rio police went in there and started beating the Argentines bloody, even with women and kids in the line of fire. The Argentine players decided to postpone the match until the violence stopped. Rodrygo accused Messi of being a chickenshit for the delay. Messi reminded him that the last time he played in the Maracaná, Argentina won and the world champions are not afraid of anyone.
They played, and Brazil lost. Now Rodrygo is getting hate from the usual human trash on Twitter because he turned a blind eye to police brutality and called someone else a coward for not doing so. (I think Marquinhos was the only Brazilian who tried to help, so props to him).
Thanks for your reply, much appreciated! I assume you are Argentinian? Is there an alternative perspective or is this the general feeling?
I think that’s pretty much it. I watch CONMEBOL as a European for our players and ex-players, and because the games are fire, but am a neutral as to countries. (If I were going to cheer for any of the CONMEBOL big three right now, it would probably be Uruguay for Araujo and their interesting project.)
And watching from that perspective, I saw it the same. It looked like a situation where the rational response would be everyone — players and fans of both sides — united in anger against the police and organizers, but of course there are emotions running high and people are people …
Lol he didn’t even insult Rodrygo. All he said was “world cup”. He’s not responsible for his idiot fans.
Unless you think Messi is some morally-just angel with the temperament of a preschool teacher
I think most people do treat Messi that way though.
Yeah, this infantilization of Leo Messi never sat right with me. Just because he is introverted doesn’t mean he won’t get into squabbles with opposition players at all.
As a general statement, Rodrygo’s dad is right. It’s just that context doesn’t make the statement look great.
Typical madrid take
Rodrygo started the fight, but surely his father is right lol. Messi should have apologized to rodrygo after being called a coward.
Lol Rodrygos dad is right ??? He literally posted this cuz his son is involved…and you wouldn’t believe me…why is son is involved… Apparently he called the captain of the opposition team coward for not playing a football match cuz people from his country were getting beat up with batons… I mean who even priorities stupid lives of people over a football match… Definitely right dad…
Read the full thing. That’s only a small part of what I was saying.
Rodrygo’s dad is right
“yeah, my son called you a coward after your people was getting beaten the shit out of them, you should apologize”
“que mira bobo?”
I will never understand how people hold that moment against him. Weghorst staring daggers into him from across the room, literally looking like he wants to shank messi in the heart and everyone dog piles in messi for reasonably reacting
Meh
Am I wrong? People worship the ground he walks on and go into a blind rage at any criticism of him. He’s the best player of all time but there are some unhealthy relationships people have with him.
The issue is that people just glorify these athletes. Messi is a reserved guy, not very outspoken guy, but when provoked he will attack back. Should not be shunned for it, he is still a human who is going to defend himself. Just cause the guy is quite and not assertive, doesn’t mean he isn’t spineless.
Like any person, even if they are calm and relaxed nature, they will attack back at a certain point.
Kante as well
Nah.
No they don’t. Everyone can recognize he’s a good guy off the pitch and very reserved. On the pitch no one has ever claimed Messi to be a morally just angel. He has been hot headed on the pitch on several occasions in the last years and I haven’t seen anyone deny it
People criticize players for going to Saudi but they barely say anything about Messi being the face of Saudi tourism
Definitely overblown, but definitely overlooking the full context of the situation. Rodrygo got racially abused, which has been the hot topic of football, especially since he plays along side Vinicius, so people will focus on that more. Dont get me wrong, under no circumstances does Rodrygo deserve to get racial abused, however, he made himself out to be a target to the Argentine racists considering he was being completely insensitive towards the Argentina fans that were experiencing police brutality in the stands.
Not saying it justifies racism, because it doesnt, however that was the reason he was targeted. Rodrygo was being a complete idiot in his remarks towards Messi and co.
Rodrygo isn’t the first player to be racially abused by Argentina fans.
I never said he was. He got majority of the racial remarks compared to Endrick, Jesus, and Gabriel.
He put a target in his back for racists people to attack him because of what he said.
Both actions don’t make a right nor do they justify either actions. This isn’t a black or what situation, it’s clearly grey.
100% wont be the last either.
Messi is definitely in his shithouse phase but rodrygo deserved it.
Swear it was light as fuck, just put his hand on Rodrygo’s neck for a bit. It’s nowhere near to what some people are saying (Choking, violence.)
This shit happens, south american qualifiers are absolute cinema.
The people that have a problem with Messi putting his hands on the back of Rodrygo’s neck are such crybabies. It really is nothing.
I said it as well. Messi definitely isn’t his younger self anymore lol. But as with everything, if one wants to enjoy football, they should separate the player from the person.
I like Messi as a football player, I don’t like him as a person.
From the outside looking in, Brazil are looking real pathetic right now.
Oh yeah we get hit with racism every time we play against this unicivilized country but because they have messi they are the good guys
Tell me again who were the barbarians with the sticks? Fuck off.
“They’re racist!”
“They’re an uncivilized country!”
Not even an inkling of the irony here? Really?
No one asked pessidog meat rider
