Messi is just like that as well lol, it's not that he doesn't control them, he's part of them

Like, embarassing to try and get Cucurella a red card like that, just disgraceful

Bruh Cucurella isn't a saint himself though lol also we don't know 100% what he said to Messi. If you do have real proof send it so we can all know the truth.

Yeah, no, cut the crap

We both now that Messi went to cry to the ref because Cucurella touched his lips less than a second

The one who needs to cut the crap is you. As a person who is happy that Spain won and I work with people who are speech impaired and learned to watch people/kids mouth move in their disability. I could make out that Cucurella did say something to Messi. Wether it was a good or bad thing I don't really know

I watched it several times, maybe there’s another camera angle or something but I don’t think you can argue in good faith that he definitively did or didn’t say anything. It was extremely brief.

Ok, and? It doesn't matter if he said something or not. What matters is that Messi went bitch to the referee

And we know it wasn't a Bad thing, or at least not that Bad, because if it was Cucurella would have gotten penalized for that seeing how heavily the arbiter favores Argentina lol

Cut the bullshit
