Critique of Messi's Sportsmanship
As an Argentine, it embarrasses me, and because he protests everything, he never gets penalized,
he calls for the foul,
in the goal disallowed for Egypt, he didn't see the foul,
but he approached the referee and told him someone was down, that there was a foul, and no,
that's why I don't feel
represented by someone who is such a crybaby, always complaining,
in the first match they didn't think twice and he should have been sent off,
he committed the same foul as the one they called on the Egyptian player.
So, you are generally
not feeling represented by Messi, where does celebrating Messi's goals come in? No,
no, no, because,
look, I don't know, a free kick,
the referee makes the mark, and he erases the mark with his foot,
he places the ball further forward, he moves it forward,
and honestly, a person like that doesn't represent the essence of football.

Como argentino me da vergüenza, y porque protesta todo, a él no le sancionan nada, él pide la falta, en el gol que le anularon a Egipto, él no vio la falta, pero se acercó al árbitro y le decía que había uno caído, que había falta, y no, por eso no me siento
representado así con alguien llorono, que viva pidiendo, en el primer partido no lo pensaron y debía expulsarlo, hizo la misma falta que hizo al que le cobraron al egipcio. O sea, estás en general no te sentís representado por Messi, dónde sale festejar los goles de Messi? No,
no, no, porque, fíjate, no sé, un tiro libre, el árbitro hace la marquita, él con el pie borra la marca, acomoda la pelota más adelante, la tira más adelante, y la verdad una persona así no representa la esencia del fútbol.
