Shit was rigged through and through. But anything to hand Messi all the titles. The MLS corruption is a joke aswell.

Uh oh. Have they checked all the other Argentina players? This Messi fella seems to be too good for his age hmm
Well sevilla won it because of antony taylor
it's funny that this is being upvoted but everytime it's related to Mourinho or coming from a user with a Roma flair downvoted to hell
when Sevilla recently fired their coach the only upvoted comment was some guy saying that the only mistake Taylor made was not awarding Sevilla a penalty
Well who is saying it does matter
i know. i'm way too sensible and emotional about that lost final
Keep testing Sevilla. I would also test Anthony Taylor, because he was definitely on something after missing that handball call
Messi's entire career in Spain annuled due to Negreira
Messi's World Cup annuled due to doping (lifelong HGH drugcheat, so that makes two)
Tough times
Pathetic madrid talking points
oh. my. god. scenes when papu and some other player are the reason messi's world cup gets taken away
Hmm now that I think about it. There are more than one Argentinian in that Sevilla team. Coincident? I think not. /s
They better not step in the streets of Buenos Aires if that happens
and some other player
Maybe Messi himself?
No surely not :D
It needs to be 3 players, right? More than 2.
They will get crucified in Buenos Aires.
Then test more players
They are all tested at the World Cup. This test was at Sevilla.
So he was tested during the WC and passed?
They said he failed a test before the World Cup which is enough for me to strip the medal
Test them all baby!!
Was he not tested at the WC?
He was, all negative probably.
Of course he was tested, as all of them are. Each national team tests their players
He was not part of the national team anymore. This is a typical effort by an older player trying to extend this career
Shit like this pisses me off. The world cup happened almost a year ago, it's over, it's done. Stop trying to be an attention whore by doing shit like this. The governing bodies of football are a special breed.
He can't be popular with Argentina right now.
Imagine putting the cup at risk for a player who played about 100 minutes the whole tournament.
This is really shit, especially considering that at least in Argentina it was totally inconsequential (I don't know about Seville because I didn't see their games that's why I don't include it) he only played 2 games against Arabia that Argentina lost anyway and more or less half time with Australia where he did not have a leading role
but that won't avoid the controversy
Montiel able to royally fuck everyone involved
WE'RE ALMOST THERE /s
Surely knowingly fielding 1 player should be enough?
Probably got high with lahoz before the Netherlands match
He should have went to Real Madrid. There you just throw a fit and cry and the club will block the doping test.
Back in the glorious 90s, two Marseille players that were designated for anti-doping control were substituted mid-game, taken directly to a car and sent back to Marseille. That was when OM was all-powerful.
FIFA knew he was under investigation even before the World Cup, yet let him play. Corruption has no limits when certain players need their legacy cemented.
Ah yes, because Papu Gomez was so key to Argentina winning the World Cup, no way would they have won it if he was banned before the tournament and they took a different player instead.
I must be missing something, how are there people in this thread who seem to think that if a player from Argentina's World Cup squad tested positive for a PED now, it would count as a second strike again them?
I’m praying for another
Cheating ass Argentina
Oh look at that it seems that I have lost all my medals. Ain't that a coincidence.
Keep testing sevilla pls
Cry
Just need to test Messi and Martínez rly quick
Honestly, if that were me, you’d have to get them from my cold dead fingers.
All top athletes dope, completely naive if you think otherwise.
He hasn’t played for Argentina since the friendlies post-WC. During this WC qualifiers he has not been called up. His time w the national team actually ended during the WC, when he was only used sparingly and never featured in the crucial games.
Seems like this was an effort this year by an older player trying to extend his career. Shame.
Let’s be real, huge majority of pro-athletes are on PED’s. They’re annihiliating records that were considered unbreakable for a decade that were set by people on dope in the first place.
Damn, what a fucking loser.
Why are we hearing about this 10 months later?
For teams to lose their titles, more than two players have to test positive for doping.
STOP THE COUNT!
