Illegitimate finalists France qualify for an outdated defeat

Just yesterday, we made no secret of our hard feelings towards FIFA, one of the most powerful institutions in the world. An organization that turns a blind eye to massive refereeing errors so long as the recipients are named Argentina, Brazil or France, can only be questionable.

It’s true that world football’s governing body disqualified some men in black after the group stage, but we’re far from deceived: it’s just a ploy to convince the billions of people who follow the king of sport around the world to restore some faith in him. this company. Brothers that only seek to defend the interests of the footballing powers and come out to us with the approaching presidential elections beautiful slogans to encourage practice in developing countries which is a group of electoral votes.

But on the ground, the green rectangle, the reality is completely different. Setting aside the development of football and encouraging the “small” to compete with the “big”, democratizing football and the values ​​of fair play are slogans addressed to the gullible. Marketing and money dictate the conduct of the most important sporting competition on the planet.

Is it this nepotism for “football’s great nations” that legitimizes the poster for the final match, scheduled for Sunday at 4:00 pm, between Argentina’s Lionel Messi, the true living legend seeking to join Diego Maradona, and France, the world title champions? Who aims to equalize Italy (1934 and 1938) and Brazil (1958 and 1962), the only two countries to have won the cup in succession?

In any case, France’s path in this World Cup in Qatar raises doubts. The Blues are far from the most charismatic team.

Against Australia as they entered the competition, Kylian Mbappe’s teammates were roughed up by a team devoid of stars. Same note against the Danes, in the second match, before losing to Tunisia on the final day. A bad defeat, followed by a massive protest from the leaders of the French Football Federation (FFF) to FIFA, which quickly responded by expelling New Zealand referee Matthew Conger.

In the Round of 16, the Blues faced the weakest of the 16 teams qualifying for this stage of the competition: Poland. Once again, the world champions were not reassured. The first real test for the Frenchman was against England in the quarter-finals. Referee failure organized by Brazilian Wilton Sampaio. All of English football raved about his decisions throughout the game.

Support from the Men in Black continued through the semi-final against the Atlas Lions. Mexico’s Cesar Ramos forgot to fire two blatant penalties against the Blues. In the 27th minute of play, Sofiane Boufal was knocked out by French left-back Theo Hernandez inside the penalty area. Mexican referee Cesar Ramos, two meters from the field, refuses to return to the VAR. At the height of absurdity, he blew the whistle against the Moroccan striker and gave him a yellow card. That’s not all. At the end of the first half, Salim Amal Allah was knocked down in the penalty area by Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Chomeni. Once again, the man in black does not consult the VAR and allows play. New evidence of biased refereeing, completely in favor of France since the goal of the tournament.

Tomorrow in the final, it will be difficult for Polish referee Shimon Marciniak to concede another stolen victory to the French national team. We will then know if the French deserve to be at this stage of the competition.

Unless, of course, if other common interests tip the scales in favor of the blues. Car malheureusement for les «petites nations», le football, c’est d’abord une montagne de contrats juteux qui se chiffrent à des milliards de dollars et que de nombreuses «grandes nations de football», insi que la FIFA se partagent tous les four years.

According to several concordant sources, FIFA and French President Emmanuel Macron are on a veritable honeymoon. The latter is said to be in very advanced discussions with Gianni Infantino, with the aim of a major project for FIFA’s new headquarters.
