    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.

    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

      Argentines put all their effort on the try to win it. Maybe the most passional country in football world.

      He was not called again after WC and of course he is being hated for being selfish.

      What happens when you betray a passional being?..Rage.

      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

    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.

      Argentina has a pretty old team, it’s weird how much stamina they still had against france on the 120 minutes

    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

    He should have went to Real Madrid. There you just throw a fit and cry and the club will block the doping test.
