Argentina won the 2022 Qatar World Cup for the third time with France 7-5 on aggregate in a penalty shootout after a 3-3 draw in regular time and extra time at the Lusel Stadium in Qatar. A lot of people are saying that Angel Di Maria's penalty changed the result of the game, but did it?
It should be said that in the first half Argentina were in complete control of the game but did not score. After Di Maria had gone past Dembele, he pushed Di Maria and Di Maria went down to win a penalty, which was very important indeed and upset the balance of the pitch.
Some people say the Dembele push Di Maria action is not big, Di Maria should not fall down, this ball if Messi, Dembele push Messi is not down, even if it will climb up, such as Messi on behalf of Barcelona's Champions League against Naples in the penalty area after the ground running shot goal.Tipster Ranking. To be honest, the referee would not have given Argentina a penalty if Messi had acted like that. In the end, Argentina lost the goal, but it was Di Maria.
Whether it is more reasonable for Messi or Di Maria, it is absolutely right for Di Maria to do so in terms of the outcome of the game. After all, winning is the most important thing for the team. Think about how many people would judge Di Maria's character and say Messi is not capable of winning the championship if France won 2-1 because Di Maria did not fall down this time. This is what we always say that the world is always an honest man who loses.
In the last World Cup against France, Mbappe had one of those when he went down after being pushed by an Argentine defender in the box. The referee awarded a penalty, without which France would have been 2-0 down and probably lost the game, and nobody said Mbappe could have stayed down.
In the second half, France went without a shot on goal until the 70th minute, when Mouani took advantage of a mistake by Otamendi. Otamendi did not pull, but put his hand on Mouani, who went down decisively. Because al-Mouani himself knew he could not shoot well, going down was the right thing to do, and al-Mouani missed the shootout penalty in the final moments of extra time to see how bad his shooting was.
If Di Maria didn't go down and Muani went down and gave the penalty, then Argentina lost the championship to France, wouldn't it be fair to Argentina? Football games are very complicated, many matches are not decided by the players, the same game with another referee has different results.
Why Messi has not been able to win the World Cup before, it is not the problem of players and ability, but Messi is too honest, if Messi learn C Ronaldo's kicking method, the World Cup at least 3, Messi can find a way to get the ball into the penalty area to induce the other team foul, this is Messi is good at, but Messi even if not get the World Cup will not do so.
