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.

From defending cops that like beating women with babies you can't come back

What a disgusting person

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?

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?

Yeah, how do you call an entire team "shitters", and when they respond to you they are now the bad guys?

I mean we don't know what Rodrygo and De Paul were saying before Messi came and situation escalated but ok. It's still bunch of nothing between players, psychotic fans are the problem here. Level of abuse Rodrygo got is just not warrented.

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.

They are a bunch of playboys with no empathy

School ground stuff by Brazil. Everything always loses context in the noise and media starts just picking on high profile players for sensationalism.

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.

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.

The entire Argentinian squad is unlikeable

It’s the classic soccer mom/dad trope. Same shit happened with Gio Reyna and his parents.

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.

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

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?
