On a particularly busy day at the 2026 World Cup, Lionel Messi was at the center of public discourse. After commenting on his tears during the match and claiming it was a "difficult and complex day" rather than a purely sporting matter, many netizens responded with a mix of support and mockery. While users such as M10GOAT praised his "hat-trick" and his status as the "GOAT" (Greatest of All Time), critics like mmwwwn123 claimed that Messi is "FIFA's puppet" and received preferential treatment from the referees.
