The latest suspicion about world champions Argentina: “France poisoned it, it wasn’t a virus”

The next day it hurts twice as much France, who wakes up from having rocked the dream of a second consecutive world championship and finds himself with nothing in his hands. Mbappé’s 8 goals as top scorer, Giroud’s second youth, Griezmann reinvented as a man everywhere in the opposing front line, Rabiot rediscovered as a pillar: all useless and destined to be forgotten. It’s the law of sport: whoever wins takes it all. and theArgentina he took it all: yesterday’s applause and tomorrow’s eternal glory. THE world Cup The 2022 season in Qatar will be remembered as Messi finally sitting next to Maradona on football’s Olympus, while Deschamps’ team will remain the regret of what could have been.

If Kanté and Pogba had been available for the World Cup, if Benzema hadn’t been injured before the start of the tournament (then decided not to call him up when available), if Kolo Muani hadn’t scored the winning goal in the 123rd minute of the final that transformed Dibu Martinez in hero, had Coman and Tchouameni scored the penalties in the final sequence. If, if, many ifs. It’s just for telling stories to the grandchildren, not for putting trophies in the window. And again, that damned ‘camel virus’, or who knows what else it was🇧🇷 A viral infection that hit the France team in the days leading up to the semi-final and final.

France in pieces after losing the World Cup final

First Upamecano and Rabiot were forced to lose the semifinal against Morocco, then Coman ended up in solitary confinement with the same symptoms, finally Varane and Konaté also complained of a similar malaise. Everyone had already played in the final, some from the first minute and others joining the game in progress, but it is clear that such a quick recovery from a viral issue could not fail to leave residue on the players’ bodies. Someone, however – continuing the delirious narration of an alleged conspiracy that would have pushed Argentina from the beginning, with penalties in favor and complacent refereeing aimed at finally making Messi win a World Cup as FIFA wants – went further and launched very heavy accusations of tampering with the ending🇧🇷

The pro-Argentina conspiracy theory is relaunched not by an anonymous keyboard lion, but by one of the most respected English journalists, who Piers Morgan followed by more than 8 million followers on Twitter and a great friend of Cristiano Ronaldo (he was the one who recorded the well-known interview with the Portuguese that shortly before the World Cup marked the point of no return with Manchester United). In his continuous campaign in favor of CR7 in the eternal confrontation with Messi – who since yesterday has decidedly leaned towards the Argentinean – Morgan allows himself to be led to a very serious accusation: “It wasn’t a virus, the French team was clearly poisoned on purpose🇧🇷

Words that should be broken down in terms of how serious and dangerous they are, also taking into account the important pulpit they come from (the tweet in question obviously went viral). And instead Morgan dropped the subject, letting the hubbub over the outcome of the final come from France, accusing the referee Marciniak which did not cancel out Messi’s second goal in Argentina’s momentary 3-2 draw under regulation, due to some bench members entering the field during the game. But beyond this particular episode, the entire Polish whistle direction was rejected by the transalpine media, with L’Equipe even giving 2 as a vote🇧🇷

🇧🇷Marciniak wasn’t up to the task, let alone his job. – argued the newspaper – The penalty awarded to Di Maria was a very light one, not unlike the one denied to Marcus Thuram, but the Polish referee in charge of VAR had no intention of questioning his compatriot in front of the whole world. There were also several other decisions that provoked anger and misunderstandings: how did Cristian Romero, responsible for so many brutal fouls, end the match without a yellow card? As Mr. Didn’t Marciniak tag the Argentines when they crushed counters by any means necessary, shirt throws, cynical fouls and jabs? How did Emiliano Martinez take the ball from the penalty spot and throw it away from Tchouameni without referee intervention?🇧🇷

Questions the Polish race director could answer without too much effort, showing the bulletins he received from all over the world: very high marks everywhere, with all due respect to conspiracy theorists and the likeincluding ‘El Chiringuito’ reporter Juanma Rodriguez, who bluntly tweeted “worldwide purchase“. Needless to translate: it really seems like someone experienced this more as a personal defeat than anything else.
