5 Reasons Why The 2022 World Cup Maybe Rigged

5 Reasons Why The 2022 World Cup Maybe Rigged

After Argentina made it to the World Cup final for the second time in 3 editions, there have been shouts that the 2022 World Cup might be rigged to favor the South American nation. Some say it was rigged to give Messi the perfect end to his international career.

Of course, this was not the popular opinion after Argentina lost the opening game of the tournament to underdogs, Saudi Arabia. But as the team got stronger and started carefully scaling their hurdles, the talks of the entire tournament being rigged started to become rampant.

Now, it’s easy to dismiss these people as mere conspiracy theorists and Messi haters, but do they actually have a point? Come along and check out the points they have made and decide for yourself.

I have been watching football since I was 5. This world cup was all in Argentina's favour. And Fifa totally helped messi to dribble past 4 defenders.

[xjvewtk]

Argentina broke the record !! They were awarded the most penalty kicks at one World Cup in entire World Cup history.

[platonfoucault]

I think the most blatant case against Argentina is versus the Netherlands ; no red card for kicking the ball towards the players bench was just ridiculous. It is a red card by itself, you do not even need the dirty tackle before it.

[_srnao]

Honestly I truly believe it was rigged. The game that sealed it for me was the QF vs Netherlands.

Who else predicted a penalty for argentina in first 20 mins 😂

[estudiantes]

The first 80 minutes of the final game were bought by Argentina. Then, in the last 10 minutes, the match was bought by France. But Argentina bought it again until minute 115. Finaly, France bought the match in the last 5 minutes of the extended time. In the end, Argentina bought the penalty shootout.

6 penalties in 7 games? what are the odds mate?

[samiwassim]

After Germany won the world cup 2014, a very famous Argentinian journalist twitted :" messi will win the world cup in Qatar in 2022 😅😅

[finalthoughts]

What was ironic is that I had jokingly messaged a family member "how long do you think it'll take before Argentina get awarded a penalty?"; it took 20 minutes in the final...

[lorenzobuero]

I don't understand why people say it's rigged because of penalties (there were 5 penalties, not 6) ...
-1rst pen was vs saudi arabia and Argentina still loss, also there was 1 goal wrongly anulated by offside
-2nd pen was vs Poland, Argentina missed and still won
-3rd pen was vs Netherlands, and was a clear penalty, also the referee didn't make some other clear penalties
-4th was vs Croatia, it was debatible, but not a wrong decision
-5th is the same, the french defender make a mistake and di María got a penalty. France got 2 penalties..

Breaking a record doesn't mean it's rigged...

[mihaelsenolt]

I mean as soon as they said Quatar whould host the world cup u knew it was ganna get the Cash invalved

[tikkelbikkel]

It really does look like FIFA is taking a couple pages out of WWEs book

Who came here after Argentina's penalty against France in the Final

[cristianmorales]

They’ve been helping Argentina and Messi for the last few world cups there are so overrated that even with the help they couldn’t get it done. It’s so obviously fixed anybody with a functioning brain can spot it it’s insulting to the viewers.

[marcjov]

And they call Ronaldo Penaldo haha
I think Messi just became Penalessi!

[zex]

Ofcourse it was rigged. Also the fact that Messi owns a membership with Qatar FIFA organizations just further confirms it. It's just plain ridiculous how referees completely ignored the fouls for the opposite teams and gifted Argentina non-existing penalties to make his life easier.

[GG-trnl]

Who owns PSG? Qatar.
Who plays for PSG? Messi & MBAPPE.
Who was in the final of the Qatar World Cup? Messi & Mbappe.
Who won the World Cup? MESSI.
Why?
Because he has a higher outreach around the world the Mbappe.

France didn’t start playing football till the 80th minute.

[popcan]

How about the hand ball by Messi against the Netherlands?

[ThatsWhatSheSaid]

Honestly, rigged is an exaggeration, but the refs were aiding Argentina a lot. It was obvious with Netherlands, Poland and France.
However, Netherlands and France had the chance to defeat Argentina in the penalties but failed. Also, Kolo Muani missing the last chance 1v1 is not Argentina's fault.

Basically, Emi Martinez won it for me. Messi was also crucial of course with his amazing assists.

[YildizFPL]

Leo Penalty Messi will score another penalty tomorrow vs France and the VAR has direct connections with the bookies
