I'm English, so this may sound biased, but England should've won against Argentina. That is not me saying we did everything right, we should've have been only on the defensive during the second half, we basically handed them those two goals.
Yes, I know we slowed down on the second half after Gordon scored (Well done, I was very proud, he isn't our usual scorer), but Argentina had like 15 fouls beforehand and Anderson was booked against Messi.
Now..... I don't know if you saw the referee and Messi chatting when half time was announced but there may be some bias by the ref, in favour of the Argentinians.
Additionally, Bellingham was floored FLOORED multiple times and no consequences for the Argentinians. They played dirty AND GOT AWAY WITH IT.
I think we all know they should've lost against Egypt.
My point is FIFA is all about the teams that the people in power (Infantino) want to win (the commentators don't even try to hide it, they literally say that certain teams are the favourites) so much that even Donald Trump was trying to be all buddy-buddy with him so USA would win on their own soil. Which was a massive kick in the bollocks since they lost to Belgium. It's all orchestrated.
That's why the Argentinians were playing so rough at the first half because they were trying to get our good players off, they were on Bellingham, Gordon, Spence and Anderson like rashes. Now, I am no football fanatic, but I know full well that aggression to that degree is not at all permitted. Pulling, shoving and kicking is not okay, in any situation, not just football. So what was that referee playing at?
Also, FIFA is not supposed to be political, so why do they have a sign calling for the Faukland Islands? Which they still have not be fined for. The Faukland Islands have even voted to stay with the British with only 3 votes against it. But guess what's on the Faukland Islands, a shit-load of oil!
Just the whole game is fucked up, I think everybody can see that now.
It's football, not a political stance or a blood sport, it's supposed to bring the world together.
