Does the Saudi team even have one Saudi by blood or all of them are mercenaries.

Arrogance is a weakness. Sometimes, it’s a decisive one.

Messi is getting older, and no matter how great he is, he will increasingly find it difficult to keep up with a 23 year-old.

He also must be distracted. I’ve seen he’s even promoting “Messi-burgers” at Hard Rock Cafe.

Lol, Argentinians are more likely to riot over this than the 60% inflation their retarded social programs cost.

For older Argentinians 60% inflation is a nothing burger.

Never get so emotionally involved in a sports team that a loss is devastating.

Are there any requirements that a person playing on a World Cup team have citizenship or even permanent residence in the country for which he is playing?

This sounds too good to be true. If true—then the argentine team was paid handsomely to throw the game. I would be each member of the team and the coaches were paid 1 million dollars each.

I could care less about the game but that’s interesting.

To me, they might as well just run around aimlessly for 90 minutes and then flip a coin to decide who wins. But, I guess, for Argentina this is a crushing defeat.

Is it possible they were paid to take a dive?

The good thing about soccer for the Saudis is that even if your players’ hands are cut off, they can still play well.

Or a promised trumped up drug trafficking charge and prompt beheading if they won.
