I'm posting the LVG quote coz this opinion is starting to go more mainstream now. More and more people are questioning the WC including public figures.
Mainstream by whom? Kids on X/Twitter?
Football twitter is full of incels anyway that are trying to farm impressions now that Elon Musk is handing out ad money.
Netherlands players seemed rightfully pissed off at van Gaal for this garbage as the "scripted" schtick puts their commitment and hard work into question too.
Argentina were probably a bit lucky here and there as every CL and WC winner in history have been, but only people who have been having sleepless nights since December 18th are going to call it for scripted.
Even with some luck going their way Argentina were the better team in every game they played, statistically too.
