Felt a bit of schadenfreude seeing Mbappe sulk and being a sore loser, especially after what he said about South American teams. Mbappe and Giroud act too cocky, always have a face on like they're the stars of a show and the camera's on them, and a lot of the time don't feel like they're playing for the team or as a team. Argentina on the other hand acts as the sum of a machine's parts. And though Messi is a star, he doesn't act like it on the field, appears grateful for his team, and plays as a member of a team. Super happy Argentina won, happy to have seen the SK vs Portugal match, and happy to have seen Morocco's games. But also happy to see Mbappe sit and pout even after pulling off a hat-trick in the final game of the world cup lol

I’m also happy for Argentina, but I didn’t find Mbappe’s words any offensive. It is true that european teams are generally stronger.

Messi has by far one of the worst attitudes I’ve ever seen in a star player so I have no idea where this is coming from. He was petulant, nasty, and classless at various times throughout this very tournament.

  You must've been watching from a different universe in the multiverse then. Messi was class in the tournament and only responded "nastily" to the Netherlands since they were playing dirty and running their mouths disrespectfully. If you come at the King, you best not miss.

  Okay let's make wild generalizations about a whole population. I spoke of two players from the French team, not French people as a whole. If I were to say anything about the French team though, I'd say they deserve oscars for their fake injuries to kill the clock. Again, not speaking of French people or fans, just the team and in particular two players. Saw how Argentina's goalie celebrated and agree it was in poor taste, but that does not discredit the points made in my original post regarding their team functioning as a well oiled machine rather than separate components in an incomplete machine. What Messi said to Weghorst, hard to tell when there's one perspective given. What was reported as being said seems wildly unlikely to have sparked such a reaction. So, until more accounts from other sides are given to paint a duller picture, what was reported seems bias as hell

    From what Messi said immediately after, he was rather upset at some Dutch behavior (I didn't watch the game so idk what it'd have been) and also at the referee -especially at the ref- and I guess he wasn't in a sporting mood. That's too bad because t-shirt exchanges are a nice touch :(

      Yeah idk after looking into it more after the response, it seems like others are suggesting it wasn't simply the request for his shirt, but the request following bad calls by refs and provocations from the Dutch team. Who knows what all went down, but definitely not as simple as he was being asked to exchange shirts. He had to of been either instigated prior by the other team/another player or fuming from bad calls

        He doesn't do this every time. Clearly he was animated.
