A meaningless "friendly" that most players don't really want to play, The "Losers Final"

Pretty evident now FIFA have been engineering a PSG final all along - i.e. Mbappe v Messi. And who owns PSG, remind me?!

How else do you explain Argentina getting pens at the drop of a hat. England on the other hand...

A complete and utter sham.

To be fair the referee (dodgy in many other respects) did award us TWO spot kicks.

Just a shame Citizen Kane had swapped his boots for Toblerone boxes for the second one. 😓

The ref didn't though. He gave one, which was stonewall. The second one was only thanks to var and player protests. As for the third and earliest one...bit of a mystery that.

Maguire gets rugby tackled by Iran. Nothing to see here. Iran gets a slight shirt tug. Pen nailed on.

And some of the pens Argentina have won have been beyond soft. Things might've been different had Man City actually bought Harry Kane. And perhaps Grealish should've been played more given Citeh's ownership.

Ermm...it was all on the telly box for billions to see. Happy to hear of refereeing decisions that clearly don't back up this hypothesis.

So just to be clear, You're saying the refs are bent or have been instructed to make sure its an Arg v France final?

No worse than you see up the Park in some games.
