🚨🚨 Argentine football personality Andrés "Duka" Ducatenzeiler's statement:
🗣️ "We were robbed. Yesterday, the Argentina national team was forced into something."
🗣️ "No one will ever tell the real hidden truth about football. Not Messi, not Chiqui Tapia. Do you know why? Because they were under pressure. Yesterday, Argentina was forced."
🗣️ "Yesterday, the Argentina national team was sold out. And it wasn't because of Tapia, Scaloni, or the players. It happened because we displayed a banner that said, 'The Falkland Islands are Argentine.' That's why it happened."
🗣️ "The players had to pay the price for their courage. But you know what? I don't care if we didn't win the World Cup. The way we humiliated England, and the courage our players showed by displaying a banner that neither our politicians nor anyone else in this country dared to show, can never be erased."
🗣️ "I'm convinced that neither Chiqui Tapia nor Messi wanted to give up the national team. But they had no other choice."
🗣️ "Argentina was defeated yesterday for one reason only: a group of young footballers had the courage to protest by displaying a banner saying, 'The Falkland Islands are Argentine.'"
🗣️ "That political act, that symbolic victory, that banner, showed the entire world during the most capitalist World Cup in history that the Falkland Islands belong to Argentina."
🗣️ "Do you really think Great Britain, Infantino, UEFA, Trump, or Macri would have allowed those rebellious players to become world champions and let that Falklands banner stand before the world's powerful elites?"
🗣️ "When Infantino needs re-election and UEFA asks him, 'After what the Argentines did, do you still expect our support?'"
🗣️ "When Messi told his teammates, 'Forget everything and just go out there and play.'"
🗣️ "Do you really believe that a player like Cristian Romero—one of the best defenders of the World Cup and a player who had scored two goals—would suddenly leave the field?"
🗣️ "There was nothing to celebrate yesterday. We were robbed."
🗣️ "I was once brought to a table and told that a championship had to be deliberately lost. Because I refused, I was exiled for seven years and received death threats. Do you think these young players wouldn't feel pressure if they were threatened?"
🗣️ "Players who usually spoke openly to the media didn't want to say a single word. The coach was already emotionally broken before entering the press conference."
🗣️ "Do you really believe that Messi, the greatest footballer of all time, wouldn't return home with his teammates? Do you really think we weren't robbed?"
🗣️ "They didn't just disgrace the game; they disgraced an entire nation."
🗣️ "The United States wanted to take control of football because basketball, American football, and baseball were no longer enough. This business cannot remain in the hands of ordinary people and supporters."
🗣️ "No one can convince me that the team we saw yesterday was our beloved Argentina national team."
🗣️ "Chiqui Tapia gave us the greatest Argentina team of all time. Yet today, mainstream media is demanding his imprisonment."
🗣️ "Do you really think they would have allowed Chiqui Tapia to become a two-time world champion and build the greatest legacy in football history?"
🗣️ "Especially after eliminating England from the World Cup, the players further provoked them by displaying that banner—because while our country is governed by interests aligned with foreign powers, we cannot drive them out of the Falklands."
🗣️ "We were robbed. Once again, we were deceived. We had the greatest footballer in history, and yet they still took it away from us. He told his teammates, 'Forget everything. Let's just play.'"
🗣️ "Do you know what the team did yesterday? They walked onto the pitch waiting to concede the first goal. They couldn't even get through midfield. They couldn't complete a simple pass. They didn't even want the ball. And thankfully Lautaro didn't play—he was outside something that was happening for reasons beyond us."
🗣️ "Was Lautaro prevented from playing yesterday? The same Lautaro who scored against England and helped defeat both England and Egypt?"
