Angry Messi Refuses To Collect Copa America Third Place Medal, Accuses Referee Of Corruption After Receiving Red Card A visibly angry Lionel Messi skipped the Copa America medal ceremony yesterday and accused referees of “corruption” following Argentina’s failure to win the tournament and and his rare red card in Saturday’s 2-1, third-place, playoff victory over Chile. Minutes before half-time, Messi clashed with Gary Medel after the Chile defender had shielded the ball out of play near his goal. The two players aggressively bumped chests a number of times before match referee Mauro Diaz de Vivar intervened and immediately flashed red cards for both. The straight red marked the first time the Barcelona forward had been sent off in a senior game for club or country since a red in his debut with the national team against Hungary in 2005. After the match, Messi, who didn’t collect his third-place medal with his teammates, ranted about the officiating at the tournament, suggesting his red card was a result of his harsh criticism of officials following the semifinal loss against Brazil in which Argentina saw two penalty claims denied. “It’s a play that happens a lot. [Medel] always plays to the limit. I think the referee overreacted. With a yellow card for both of us, everything would be over. I feel lot of anger because I think I did not deserve that red card because I think we were playing a very good game.

And who betide him not to win the tournament? When human beings arrogate more to themselves than they truly are, this is what happens. I expect a steep and steady fall as the Liverpool scenario is yet to teach him humility. 1 Like |

kunleweb:Do you hate Messi this much? I'm not Messi's fan but letting the referee go without query is Injustice to Messi. To me it's like a conspiracy to blacken him out of Ballon D'Or |
