Portugal players appear to raise a conspiracy theory about Argentina and Lionel Messi after their World Cup dreams were left in tatters on Saturday evening. Pepe and Bruno Fernandes hinted that the sport’s governing body wants Argentina to win the tournament. Pepe said: “It’s unacceptable for an Argentine referee to referee our game. After what happened yesterday, with Messi talking, all of Argentina was talking and the referee came here to blow the whistle. I’m not saying that he comes here conditioned…but what did we play the second half? We weren’t allowed to play the second half. I can bet that Argentina will be champions.” While Fernandes added: “We already know how it works … before the game we already knew what we were in for, and what kind of referee we would find. I don’t know if they’re going to give the trophy to Argentina. I don’t care, I’m going to say what I think and screw them. It’s very weird that a ref officiates us from a country still in the competition… clearly, they’ve tilted the field against us”. Argentina will take on Croatia for a place in the World Cup final.
