Am I crazy or does this situation feel incredibly overblown? At the end of the day, it was two players talking shit, and it seems like people are making it out like some incredibly violent interaction occurred.

Also, maybe people in this sub haven't gotten over the Messi vs Ronaldo bullshit, but it was Rodrygo talking shit after the Argentinian national team to their credit tried deescalating the situation. Then they lost the fucking game to Argentina. I fail to see how this situation is embarrassing to Messi in any way. Unless you think Messi is some morally-just angel with the temperament of a preschool teacher, his response seems pretty normal in comparison to other players

I think most people do treat Messi that way though.

Yeah, this infantilization of Leo Messi never sat right with me. Just because he is introverted doesn't mean he won't get into squabbles with opposition players at all.

As a general statement, Rodrygo's dad is right. It's just that context doesn't make the statement look great.

Rodrygo's dad is right

"yeah, my son called you a coward after your people was getting beaten the shit out of them, you should apologize"

Rodrygo started the fight, but surely his father is right lol. Messi should have apologized to rodrygo after being called a coward.

Lol Rodrygos dad is right ??? He literally posted this cuz his son is involved...and you wouldn't believe me...why is son is involved.... Apparently he called the captain of the opposition team coward for not playing a football match cuz people from his country were getting beat up with batons... I mean who even priorities stupid lives of people over a football match... Definitely right dad..
