Lionel Messi’s controversial 2019 Copa America remarks have gained attention again following Argentina’s 3-2 victory against Egypt in the FIFA World Cup 2026 round of 16. During that 2019 tournament, Messi had alleged that "corruption and the referees are ruining football" and suggested the competition was "fixed for Brazil" after a contentious semifinal defeat to the hosts and his own sending-off versus Chile. These past statements are being highlighted now as Egypt raises concerns regarding unfair officiating in their recent match.
