Messi has rarely been in discriminating conversations.. if ever
-
“Ripping Argentina apart”. This lady is delusional.
-
I’m surprised you guys didn’t blame Messi for the attempted assassination of trump 🤷🏼♂️🙄

Football has always been a male place. Male audience, male players, macho attitude, arrogance and mockery to the looser, and insults have always been a part of it. We Argentinians grew up in that football. But it’s all fair, when Germans sang about us mocking the Gauchos, nobody cried, when the French mock Messi’s stature, nobody cried. It’s about time people stop being hypocritical, and stop trying to extend their Woke claws into our sport.

Messi didn’t say anything. His teammates did. He doesn’t have to say anything unless asked.

The song is nothing but the truth, why are you so upset? I guess you don't like your reality...........

Since when is saying the truth , racism? France has been exploiting Africa for hundreds of years and now eve their best fútbol talent get cherry picked. Go ask Africans how they feel about the matter you will find a completely different opinion on the matter.
-
Yes it's not racism is the truth. Jose Mourinho said so himself 😂😂😂

I don't think Messi has to say anything. Keeping silence is the best thing to do.

Ok how was their win in copa america even connected to singing against France? its like England winning a major trophy and start singing about Falklands islands.

Why didn’t anyone say anything when French players disrespect Messi when staying Messi short and disrespect him when they beat Argentina 2018 World Cup ?????
-
The President of Argentina said that they don't need to apologize because what they are saying is only the true.

No one should restrict what songs people sing especially in a competitive environment
-
Messi is a mature, well seasoned football. He's sticking to his profession.
-
messi is not even on the bus, he doesn't need to respond to this.
-
Javier Millei is backing up his players.

Why target the 🐐
-
When you can't win this is what I used to do in my childhood.

What does Messi have to do with OTHER people talking?
