Refereeing errors that disadvantaged Argentina and Messi in the three finals played between 2014 and 2026.

(If you’re going to argue that a play like this should be interpreted differently, please back it up with reasons.)
2014 World Cup Final: A German player lunges studs-up at Zabaleta; it’s only a yellow card, even though the severity warrants a straight red.
The uncalled penalty by Neuer on Higuaín—a knee to the face that wasn't just denied as a penalty but actually called as an attacking foul (if you don't think it's a penalty, explain why it's an attacking foul).
2015 Copa América: A kick to Messi's stomach results in only a yellow card, despite warranting a red.
2016 Copa América: Marcos Rojo wins the ball cleanly, yet the referee issues a straight red card—there wasn't even any contact.

Vicente Del Bosque ex coach of Real Madrid

Interviewer: Who do you pick? Messi, Neymar, or Ronaldo? I think they’re the great trio.
Vicente del Bosque: Well, it’s not about the jersey or anything like that just looking at them purely as players I think Messi is the best. I feel bad saying it because I don’t want to upset anyone, but I think Messi is that classic player—the kind we all knew in the neighborhood—who would dribble past everyone, who was the best of the lot, the one everyone would pass the ball to. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but when Sergio has it, or Andrés, or the full-backs, the ball goes to Messi—pass to Messi, pass to Messi. It’s just like in the neighborhood: when someone is the best, everyone gives them the ball. And... the other guy has a different style Ronaldo is other style ; he’s hardly interested in midfield play or the build-up game—he’s only interested in finishing, and he’s tremendous at that.

Felipe Melo: From what I've seen, Messi is the best player in history the number one

Melo: From what I’ve seen, Messi is the best player in history—the number one I’ve ever seen play. Brazilians might say, "No, but what about Pelé?" Pelé... well, I never saw Pelé play. As for Zico—one of my idols—the first match of his I ever saw was the first time I went to the Maracanã; my father took me there to see Zico’s farewell match, his very last game. So, I can't really speak about Zico ]. Of course, there’s Ronaldo O Fenômeno, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Zidane, and Neymar, but for me, Messi is number one.

Something interesting about the people who played with Messi, CR7, or just one of the two.

There have been dozens of people who played alongside both and prefer Messi or at the very least place him on the same level as CR7 and even people who played only with CR7 but prefer Messi; which makes me wonder: has there ever been a statement from someone who played only with Messi but somehow prefers Ronaldo?

Why does India love Argentina and especially Messi so much?

Maybe Bangladesh and China could enter the equation too that’s something I’ve been wondering about for a long time, especially after the World Cup with that whole hate campaign unironically labeling them "systemically racist," despite them arguably being the most ethnically diverse country in the Americas and highly tolerant of immigrants. The very countries making those accusations are often worse especially regarding Venezuelans but I’m getting off track: what is it that makes Argentina and Leo so beloved?

Have you ever met à LGBTQ person?

I’ve only known three: two gay men and a lesbian. The first gay guy I’m talking about was the shop owner’s son; we used to play Monopoly and he’d help me look after my dog. I never suspected he was gay until I was arguing with my mom and asked her what she thought about LGBT people that’s when she told me he was gay. The lesbian was that guy’s sister she was also kind and my mom told me about her during that same conversation. As for the other gay guy (who goes to school with me), he’s incredibly obnoxious and loud; honestly, I just can’t stand him.

Do you know the national anthem of the country where you were born?

Not just the US one, I do, because there’s a law requiring the national anthem to be played on all national radio stations between 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM. Guess the country
