    So you’re one of the enlightened geniuses that believe that Argentina’s World Cup was not legitimate, huh? You do realize that all of the teams have to be on board for that to happen, right? Even if they were, it would still be incredibly hard to coordinate (if not impossible). They won, and deserved it. Deal with it.

        They are corrupt, but that has nothing to do with organizing the world cup so one specific team will win it.

          It’s a conspiracy theory I’ve heard a couple times that they pair up all the strong teams and the winners typically get a favorable start. I literally couldn’t care less about the world Cup except to meme on it and FIFA though so what do I know. Maybe the corruption company that acts like the soccer Mafia is slightly less corrupt somehow.

            I didn’t get the theory. The world cup groups are defined in a televised draw. Are you saying that the draw is fixed?

              Yeah the organization that gave trump a FIFA peace prize to bribe him after he was snubbed by the Nobel Prize debacle would play fair… I don’t care whether they really do it or not (they probably do though) I just think memeing on them is funny
