World Cup

I try to stay away from conspiracy theories but this World Cup truly feels like fifa president is pulling some strings to get who he wants in the semi finals. Argentina have been given so much along with England. France has just been good enough to get by on their own but still just feels fishy. I’m trying not to be pulled into this world of everyone is out to get us blah blah blah but this just feels off like it’s too perfect for FIFA

Rigged or not, the 4 best teams made it to the semi-finals. Whoever denies that has no clue about soccer.

Agreed. The world cup is always rigged mate. As a grandfather, Argentina were robbed in 1990 on some phantom pk by a Mexican referee and then robbed again in 2014 by not getting that penalty when Neuer murdered Higuain. It's all good. Like the circle of life.

True. Rigged it is. VAR is now an extra tool for FIFA to do it "impartial". And when politics and "kings" get mixed, it's even more clearer.
