Mario Kempes questions conspiracy theories about the fall of Argentina
The former Argentine soccer player asks that you not pay attention to the rumors that talk about the final and the intentional defeat of the Albiceleste
The Spanish team beat Argentina 1-0 in the 2026 World Cup final. The result was really short for a duel in which the Albiceleste did not kick on goal throughout the match. Mario Alberto Kempes believes that Argentina was surpassed with football and bases the defeat on crazy theories.
Luis de la Fuente's team completely dominated Argentina. The South American team did not have any shots in the 90 minutes, Messi was controlled and Argentina was blurred in the final.
In the midst of the disappointment of the defeat, theories have emerged that explain the poor performance of Lionel Scaloni's team. One of them explains that the players would have been warned by FIFA leaders to intentionally lose the commitment. In this way they would avoid heavy sanctions for the banners displayed in the duel against England.
"A team that lowers the level of a game is not the same as one that does not compete. Those versions that go around without any proof are not good for anyone," said Mario Alberto Kempes.
These theories have been supported by the locker room video in which Messi motivated his teammates and advised them to “forget everything” and focus only on football.
Mario Alberto Kempes was incredulous at this story. The former Albiceleste footballer asks that no more noise be made about this rumor and to continue encouraging the South American team.
"So I ask you that, if we want to be demanding with the team, we be so accordingly, but let's not echo anything that circulates without foundation. This shirt is respected in good times and bad, so let's go for Argentina forever," he concluded.
