Edu Aguirre, journalist for El Chiringuito and personal friend of Cristiano Ronaldo, held nothing back. 🗣️ A day after watching Portugal fall 1-0 to Spain at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, he lashed out at the referees of the 2026 World Cup over Argentina’s 3-2 win against Egypt in Atlanta.
For Aguirre, the controversy did not start there. According to him, “it all started with a clear red card for Messi in the first match that VAR did not review and Messi was not sent off”, referring to the Albiceleste’s debut against Algeria. And he went further: he questioned the fact that FIFA president Gianni Infantino is “a fan of Argentina”.
The phrase that sums up all his anger was etched in memory: “everything points to them reaching the final”. Genuine anger over the refereeing or disguised pain over the elimination of his friend Cristiano? 🤔⚽
