Broadcaster Bridget Otto takes on Argentine player Lionel Messi over his actions after his side beat the Netherlands at the ongoing World Cup in Qatar.
Otoo, who has been keenly sharing posts on the World Cup on Twitter posted a tweet that also compared Messi to rival Cristiano Ronaldo.
A Lionel Messi-inspired Argentina saw off a spirited Netherlands fightback to book their place in the semifinals of the 2022 World Cup after a thrilling contest in Lusail.
Argentina took the lead by a Nahuel Molina goal after 35 minutes before Messi doubled the lead from the spot after 73 minutes.
The Dutch rallied to score two late goals thanks to Wout Weghorst with 83rd minute strike and a goal deep in injury time forcing the game into extra time. The Argentines prevailed 4 – 3 on penalties with their goal keeper Emiliano Martinez making 2 strong saves which secured their spot in the semis.
After the game, Messi was seen harassing some match officials before he went ahead to use foul language towards a Dutch player in his post-match interview.
“After the disgusting behaviour of Messi and his team mates. Insulting even the coach. Calling a player stupid, I pray Croatia not only beat them but he retires without winning a World Cup trophy. I will mop Twitter with his tears. We all watched the game!” her tweet of December 10, 2022.
