Louis van Gaal accuses Qatar of rigging World Cup for Lionel Messi to win

Former Netherlands coach Louis Van Gaal has leveled some concerning accusations concerning the 2022 FIFA World Cup hosted in Qatar.

Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, secured their first World Cup victory since 1986 by defeating defending champions France in an exhausting final at the Lusail Stadium on December 18.

It was a remarkable comeback for Messi, who led his team to victory despite experiencing an early setback when they fell 2-1 behind against underdogs Saudi Arabia in their initial group match.

Following that initial setback, La Albiceleste went on to defeat Mexico and Poland, securing their passage to the knockout stages of the tournament.

Argentina then proceeded to defeat Australia in the round of 16, overcome Louis Van Gaal’s Dutch team in the quarter-finals, and decisively defeat 2018 finalists Croatia in the semi-finals.

Nonetheless, the former Netherlands coach has recently alleged that these matches were prearranged and orchestrated to enable Messi to achieve a storybook football triumph.
