From what I understand, Messi refused to play until police stopped beating Argentinian fans with batons and Rodrygo got pissy and started calling him a coward for it?

Not sure what his dad’s upset about. Maybe he should teach his son to keep his mouth shut instead of needlessly talking nonsense.

Why is it any time Messi or Ronald are involved in even the tiniest of scenarios it has to get overblown and turned into some massive controversy with everything getting overanalysed with microscopes. It's so annoying.

Messi might be a great role model ever sometimesand the best ever , but just as Ronaldo he has his ego too, there are times where he is in the wrong , you can’t deny that

Its not that he isnt a saint for me, its the fact if this was Ronaldo in these exact 2 picture, social media reaction would be totally different. ESPN would probably have a video by now with the clowns of the studio talking about it and everything

Can’t believe Rodrygo went father!

Absolutely true. Don’t know why Messi gets this good boy image

Rodrygo is an absolute wanker for calling them cowards but this is being so overblown

I’m very confused, the only Rodrigo Goes I know is the influencer

Did the father ask what his son said?

Brazilian players have become fuckin unlikable turds. Young cocky pussies.

Maybe first tell your kid to work on his game instead of talking shit to the greatest player of all time...

So fans are getting beat up on the stands, Argentinian players make a stance and leave the field and get called cowards by the likes of Rodrygo and somehow Messi is the villain for calling him up.

Thiee new Brazilian players are extremly unlikable

Lol the Messi cockriding on here is insane.

He’s the best player of all time. He’s not a saint as much as some of you act like it.

The little dictator sends his regards

Yet another reason why you should keep your parents from social media, especially if you’re a famous person.

always wonder why family members of football players/celeberties feel the need to spew nonsense on social media

Am I crazy or does this situation feel incredibly overblown? At the end of the day, it was two players talking shit, and it seems like people are making it out like some incredibly violent interaction occurred.

Also, maybe people in this sub haven't gotten over the Messi vs Ronaldo bullshit, but it was Rodrygo talking shit after the Argentinian national team to their credit tried deescalating the situation. Then they lost the fucking game to Argentina. I fail to see how this situation is embarrassing to Messi in any way. Unless you think Messi is some morally-just angel with the temperament of a preschool teacher, his response seems pretty normal in comparison to other players

Stop crying

From the outside looking in, Brazil are looking real pathetic right now.

What people fail to mention here is that (non surprisingly) argentinians are harassing Rodrygo with racism ever since the game.

Rodrygo's father can go eat shit and teach his son some values, he had no rights to call Argentinian cowards for defending their people.

No Lies. Messi and Neck of the Opponent - Better Love Story than Twilight.

For the amount of tackles he has received and his reaction towards them he is more than a saint he is a god
