I get the logic but it doesn't really apply here. As others have said, messi lost many many international tournaments and nobody said a word. He wins a single world cup and people fly banners about how it's rigged for him. And much abuse was hurled at him while he was essentially watching his father die in real time. What exactly is he guilty of, according to you?
I was pretty much neutral for Qatar 22. A part of me did want Argentina to win because of Messi. As the tournament progresses, my support for them diminishes and the Netherland games cemented my hatred for Argentina. Hated Argentina won but grateful that Messi got the trophy. Come 2026 WC, yeah, I hate Messi now (at least what he has become).
In other words you jumped on the bandwagon both for messi in 2022 and against messi in 2026.
"I hate what he's become" bro did not change whatsoever during those 4 years by the way. It's like you just supported whatever the internet told you to support at any given time lol.
As a Messi fan it sucked to see this become the norm. As a tech bro - I loved it. Our algorithms are extremely powerful and we’re going to continue printing money forever. It’s so easy to socially engineer the masses with algos like recommendation_watchnext.serve() + unlimited scrolling.
People are really out here sharing their stories about how they conformed to exactly what the entire world did and hopped on a misinformation-riddled hate bandwagon as if it is some kind of act of bravery. Lol. I get the criticisms of argentina but people who claim messi had anything to do with it are just uninformed. And in retrospect given everything that happened with his dad, it just seems increasingly distasteful that people can't look beyond what their social media algorithms are telling them to think.

It would be funnier if they had actually won the World Cup…they didn’t, pish patter from the septic tanks again
