This point is that he has international recognition and status, so could be a good spokesperson (with profile) to clarify the official Argentinian position. He seems not to take the opportunity.
In sports if a team win the captain is the one who led them to victory, if they lose the captain is the who faces the most heat and sometimes even sacked. If team mates behave in a disrespectful manner the captain is seen has the one who's at fault. The power of being captain comes with great responsibility. Whether he was there or not we don't know, but after Argentina won world cup the stood on the tour bus next to player who mocked mbappe and France and laughed with him, that shows the kind of person he really is
You do realize if someone is getting abused in front of you and you remain silent, there are now 2 abusers?? Unless you condone racism I don't get why he wouldn't come out and condone it. Let's not pretend like Argentina isn't a white wash country who for some reason turn racist when they win. Like why

They were not forced to play for France, they did want it...in order of fame and money. This hipocrisy "Blacks are almost the victims" sucks. Most arrogant footballers are Blacks (Pogba, Dembele, Balotelli, Vinicius).
They made fun of Messi in 2018, of Dibu in the last World Cup. Now that we are champions and people have forgotten about France, they have to do something to keep people talking about them.
What is that "truth"? Why tf you mad cause French people being black? You are totally unaware of racism. I don't get the problem in being black and French, having African fathers, why does that bothers you? And I'm from Córdoba, Argentina, and I don't agree with you one bit.

@@rodelbrown6638 Being salty for a song and a statement WHO ARE TRUE makes clear that the racists are the French. But... what the slaves kids in mines of Burkina Faso knows...
It would be like making a song about Messi saying he is not really Argentinian 🇦🇷 and that he sleeps with trans-people and he is really a Italian and shouldn’t play for Argentina… Nearly all of Argentina come from Europe so it’s hypocritical for them to say this about the French players that are black. Messi would be offended and so obviously the French players with African roots are offended because you are denying their nationality. Disgraceful from Argentina team, the vice president and the president for supporting these statements.
The Chant is referring to the country of origin of the French players, saying they aren’t really French, how is that racist if it’s not referring to the color of their skin? There’s absolutely nothing demeaning about this Chant
They are only talking about the black players, that's why it's racist. White players from the French squad also have foreign backgrounds. The Hernandez brothers were raised in Spain, yet they chose to target the black players who were all born in France except for Camavinga who arrived as a baby. They label them as lesser citizens or French only by passport. Clearly racist and an insult to the French constitution. They are using the "running fast" stereotype, that is a racist and demeaning trope. They are also including a transphobic slur for good measure. And you may want to check your vocabulary there. The country of origin of 24 out of 25 players in the French squad is France. Many of them have parents that originated from another country. Just for reference, it's the same for the Argentina squad, all but Garnacho were born in Argentina.
Where were you when Messi was bullied and insulted in France no outcry . No no you won't tell any body what to do who are you,with your agenda.Messi owes nobody a response Enzo has responded so stop victimizing APC,
Is it not true, every white nation on this planet benefited from Africa, is it not true the phone or computer only exists thanks to Africa ? How about that for a truth
Nazis went to a lot of places even Canada. Argentina never colonized any countries or poached their players like France is doing to Africa now @@creative_cooper
Why would he need to speak up. People with such influence are better to keep it for themselves,if he was in the video, then yes you would expect some kind of apology. But again stop using Messi name for more views and media coverage. It's disgusting.
Messi just like in Asia, he will hide behind others.....when it doesn't favor him. Sad for him that Martinez and teammates did that but I feel he was on the bus
Messi has no responsibility of what other grown ups say. He doesn't need to answer anyone regarding this matter. His responsibility is his commitment to his futbol club and most importantly his family and children. Please stop trying dragging Messi's name through the mudd.
If the Argentinian football players, Président, Vice Président and many of their supporters believe what was said is true, then the same can logically apply to Argentina, where they only can win a world cup with foreigners since none of them are Indigenous to the land which is called Argentina today. They are imports from Europe through immigration. Secondly, the Vice President of Argentina is an ignorant fool by stating that Argentina never had second class citizens. So what happened to the indigenous and black people who made up a big percentage of the population of Argentina in the middle of the 19th century? They were replaced by an instituted policy of whitening by importing people from Europe. The current leaders of Argentina once again prove that they never miss an opportunity to make complete fools of themselves, their nation and their people who they claim to represent.
Right...if "bad France" explores african players (who generally become arrogant millionaires) Argentina then explores european players???? The average Argy ist a spanish-italian mix. OOOOOhhhh.......sorry ........Whites are always bad and Blacks are always good...how could I forget that....I am really a bad boy.
Chaos in Argentina is from economic issues. Just 3dsys ago - strikes, protests, hunger etc are on the front burner. My take is what did FIFA, or the world do when Messi was constantly abused in open stadium intimidation right up to his house in Paris just so Mbappe their star boy can shine. Messi owes no one any 'speaking up'!
So if France explores "african players" then Argentina explores "european players"...... Messi was born in 1987.....how old was his "Nazi"-dad when he made Messi?....70 at least.....very funny.
Tobe honest i don't expect anyone to respect me. Most of the time poor or wicked people are tempt to throw something negative to heal their low self-esteem. Specially people like Argentina a multiple time of record holders for bankruptcy have no way to be proud and stand out 😊

I love in the field of football about Argentina but i hate racism, Now its not about person who said should apologize but now even the country leaders,coach, captain have to speak up😢 thats bad
As a Argentine player, he doesn’t have to. He wasn’t even in it because of his condition and that’s that. But as the captain of the squad, whose presence might have stop this based on reports from RDP(his team mate), he HAS to make a statement!
That VP acts like she isn't aware of the history associated with her country...and there subtle way of eliminating blacks... Putting in that aside France should look at Ousmane Dembele and his ignorance of words which caused controversy and he had to apologize for it in similar fashion like Enzo did...
Maybe they were going through all of the songs that fans or players in Argentina sing and that one happened to be next in line. That's the only reason I can think of , hard to understand.
En Argentina, el olvido historiográfico sobre la contribución y presencia de la población afrodescendiente ha sido muy similar, según le explica a BBC Mundo el historiador Felipe Pigna. "La invisibilización de los negros en la historia es tremenda. Prácticamente no se les menciona", asegura Pigna. "Hubo una manipulación que llegó convertida en historia oficial a las escuelas. Y quedó como historia canónica, en la que ni las mujeres, ni los pueblos originarios, ni los afrodescendientes tenían un lugar". "Por suerte eso ha ido cambiando y se ha demostrado que esa historia era mayormente falsa". Pigna pone como ejemplo de ese proceso de invisibilización el caso de María Remedios del Valle, "que era una afrodescendiente que participó en los ejércitos de Manuel Belgrano, uno de los libertadores, en todas sus batallas".

@@markmedina4791 facts
They were not forced to play for France, they did want it...in order of fame and money. This hipocrisy "Blacks are almost the victims" sucks. Most arrogant footballers are Blacks (Pogba, Dembele, Balotelli, Vinicius).
Messi has rarely been in discriminating conversations.. if ever
Messi is a mature, well seasoned football. He's sticking to his profession.
They made fun of Messi in 2018, of Dibu in the last World Cup. Now that we are champions and people have forgotten about France, they have to do something to keep people talking about them.
FR
Have you all forget what France did to Messi when he was playing for psg
How is this racist though??
he is silent because he is an athlete -maybe the best of all time- not a politician
The french and some europeans can't cope with the fact that:
A. ARGENTINA WORLD CHAMPION and france is second;
B. Someone telling the truth out loud.
Nobody gives a fuck about argentina lol. The only reason they are on the news is because of messi and now because of their unhinged racism
What is that "truth"? Why tf you mad cause French people being black? You are totally unaware of racism. I don't get the problem in being black and French, having African fathers, why does that bothers you? And I'm from Córdoba, Argentina, and I don't agree with you one bit.
Yes that's the reality
@@Mahadebmahato_25 No it's not.
I can cope with it. I am European and the continent has won 12 WC, South America 10......about everything else you wrote I am on you side.
Boycott Messi products and the Argentina national team, they're a disgrace. Say no to racism.
You can say it's offensive. But no question of 'racism' exists here.
Lol😂
😂😂😂bruh go lick spains peach , they destroyed your france
@@deborshibiswas9629 Ridiculous.....just the truth was said. What do you say regarding Balotelli who always provokes jewish und asian players?.....no racism, of course...
cry
“Ripping Argentina apart”. This lady is delusional.
😂 😂😂 so true
Bro she is a Ronaldo fan of course she is a woman at the end she will choose the handsome person 😂
Bankruptcy, corruption and stupidity have already ripped Arhentina
Seeing what the Argentine Vice President just said gives me a clear understanding on why Enzo Fernandez is the way he is, smh.
France has colonys even today, they have blacks as second class citizens but " they are not racist" make it make sense. The song is a mock about the France, about the HYPOCRISY OF FRANCE.
Cry
@@rodelbrown6638 Being salty for a song and a statement WHO ARE TRUE makes clear that the racists are the French. But... what the slaves kids in mines of Burkina Faso knows...
It would be like making a song about Messi saying he is not really Argentinian 🇦🇷 and that he sleeps with trans-people and he is really a Italian and shouldn’t play for Argentina…
Nearly all of Argentina come from Europe so it’s hypocritical for them to say this about the French players that are black.
Messi would be offended and so obviously the French players with African roots are offended because you are denying their nationality.
Disgraceful from Argentina team, the vice president and the president for supporting these statements.
❤
@@acediamond7524 mbappe did sleep with a transformer
People will not give attention to you when you have nothing, but have that something and everyone will be running after you.
When you can't win this is what I used to do in my childhood.
France taunted Argentina,Germany taunted Argentina,,and Mbappe wvwn says Copa America is jot good,Euro Cup is better than World Cup.What the hell.
How can he speak up he is not event in the bos
The Chant is referring to the country of origin of the French players, saying they aren’t really French, how is that racist if it’s not referring to the color of their skin? There’s absolutely nothing demeaning about this Chant
Because if that's the case the Argentinian are not the indigenous people if Argentina they are descendants of Spaniard colonizers
@@AntonioDimitriadis exactly 👍!!!!!!! That’s like me singing Argentinians like 🥩 and wine 🍷 😂 duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
They are only talking about the black players, that's why it's racist. White players from the French squad also have foreign backgrounds. The Hernandez brothers were raised in Spain, yet they chose to target the black players who were all born in France except for Camavinga who arrived as a baby. They label them as lesser citizens or French only by passport. Clearly racist and an insult to the French constitution.
They are using the "running fast" stereotype, that is a racist and demeaning trope.
They are also including a transphobic slur for good measure.
And you may want to check your vocabulary there.
The country of origin of 24 out of 25 players in the French squad is France.
Many of them have parents that originated from another country.
Just for reference, it's the same for the Argentina squad, all but Garnacho were born in Argentina.
Where were you when Messi was bullied and insulted in France no outcry . No no you won't tell any body what to do who are you,with your agenda.Messi owes nobody a response Enzo has responded so stop victimizing APC,
Now he needs to be a babysitter too?
ROLA LA BOLA, JUEGAN EN FRANCIA PERO…
Is it not true,some French players parents are from Africa?why do feel so hard to swallow the truth
Is it not true, every white nation on this planet benefited from Africa, is it not true the phone or computer only exists thanks to Africa ? How about that for a truth
Because many have an inferiority complex
If I'm Canadian and go to China, learn Mandarin and get citizenship, it does not mean I'm chinese. It's just common sense.
No one should restrict what songs people sing especially in a competitive environment
Until they start sing nazi inspired songs or reciting genocidal poems then you'd realize how dumb this idea is. Ps. The Nazis migrated to Argentina.
How to say you are a racist without saying you are racist.😅
@@selfhealing truth hurts the weak
Nazis went to a lot of places even Canada. Argentina never colonized any countries or poached their players like France is doing to Africa now @@creative_cooper
@@creative_cooperalso comparing a fun soccer chant that speaks the truth to nazi songs is very idiotic of you
Why would he need to speak up. People with such influence are better to keep it for themselves,if he was in the video, then yes you would expect some kind of apology. But again stop using Messi name for more views and media coverage. It's disgusting.
What does Messi have to do with OTHER people talking?
He's the captain
@@Valentina.Montano because we live in a snowflake clown world that makes weak men
@@Joggemxhe is the captain on the field not outside 😂he is not their daddy😂
@@deathisequalforall lmao. I just gave a blunt answer tbh.
Stop this nonsense no one cares.
As a black guy I care. If you don't why are you commenting?
@@kemetancientafrica it's getting overblown
@@XavierismynameMessi worshipper cultist. Maybe he should play for the Arabs in Lebanon. That's where his Mom is from.
So mbappe is French, and African when it's convenient?
@@kemetancientafricaYou are black... So? The chants are not racist if you done understand Spanish you can talk about it.
why tf should messi apologize? and whats wrong with enzo speaking or rather singing facts
so calling africans african is racist
Messi just like in Asia, he will hide behind others.....when it doesn't favor him. Sad for him that Martinez and teammates did that but I feel he was on the bus
Messi has no responsibility of what other grown ups say. He doesn't need to answer anyone regarding this matter. His responsibility is his commitment to his futbol club and most importantly his family and children. Please stop trying dragging Messi's name through the mudd.
The song is nothing but the truth, why are you so upset? I guess you don't like your reality...........
what's true is true!
Yeah like white peoples wouldn’t be shit without Africa 🙂 what is true is true
If the Argentinian football players, Président, Vice Président and many of their supporters believe what was said is true, then the same can logically apply to Argentina, where they only can win a world cup with foreigners since none of them are Indigenous to the land which is called Argentina today. They are imports from Europe through immigration. Secondly, the Vice President of Argentina is an ignorant fool by stating that Argentina never had second class citizens. So what happened to the indigenous and black people who made up a big percentage of the population of Argentina in the middle of the 19th century? They were replaced by an instituted policy of whitening by importing people from Europe. The current leaders of Argentina once again prove that they never miss an opportunity to make complete fools of themselves, their nation and their people who they claim to represent.
Blacks don't despaired from Argentina, they being mixed. Here " mix races couple" are not a new, always happened.
Right...if "bad France" explores african players (who generally become arrogant millionaires) Argentina then explores european players???? The average Argy ist a spanish-italian mix.
OOOOOhhhh.......sorry ........Whites are always bad and Blacks are always good...how could I forget that....I am really a bad boy.
He should apologise for his teammate and be a good example
Chaos in Argentina is from economic issues. Just 3dsys ago - strikes, protests, hunger etc are on the front burner. My take is what did FIFA, or the world do when Messi was constantly abused in open stadium intimidation right up to his house in Paris just so Mbappe their star boy can shine. Messi owes no one any 'speaking up'!
Messi isnt argentian, his father was a italian nazie , fled to argentina.
So if France explores "african players" then Argentina explores "european players"......
Messi was born in 1987.....how old was his "Nazi"-dad when he made Messi?....70 at least.....very funny.
Messi never says anything meaningful. Is he an NPC or the captain of the team? He also was silent when this happened in the 2022 wc finale
nothing meaniingful, just all that he won
@@gusgustavo6055 He never SAYS anything meaningful. You can go simp for him somewhere else.
@mabel9701 Because he doesn't need to lmao. Why should he? They're all grown men messi can't control what they do or say
Tobe honest i don't expect anyone to respect me. Most of the time poor or wicked people are tempt to throw something negative to heal their low self-esteem. Specially people like Argentina a multiple time of record holders for bankruptcy have no way to be proud and stand out 😊
🇾🇹💙💜🤍.........the true thought in these words is that Rupha Ramani deserves to be India's representative in UN..........the brilliant coverage on Argentina// France highlights HER'" all round excellence from all counts and accounts ..........WILL HONOURABLE JAISHANKAR NOTE THIS & GO THROUGH THE Messi ISSUE AS COVERED BY Rupha,,,,,,,,,,, from me at 81+) mind you its at much higher pedestal of anchoring than the dull drab T20 captaincy by some Highly Learned Ones !!!! ⚘🎉🎉🎉🎉
Does not know anything about football, why the issue originated and commenting it..... Shameful on her part, people are suffering bcoz of media personality like her...
We love you argentina ❤️🇦🇷👏🏻
Now after all those theories to defame Messi since the world cup has cooled down, they are looking another ways to do so..One advice to this news anchor is to go and get a sleep. And dont try make everything racist.
I agree
Very nice FirstPost. Next, tell Messi to apologise for the war in Ukraine, Gaza, Myanmar and India! Go ahead Do it !
I love in the field of football about Argentina but i hate racism,
Now its not about person who said should apologize but now even the country leaders,coach, captain have to speak up😢 thats bad
Its like asking a thief's long distant relative to apologise for stealing.
As a Argentine player, he doesn’t have to. He wasn’t even in it because of his condition and that’s that.
But as the captain of the squad, whose presence might have stop this based on reports from RDP(his team mate), he HAS to make a statement!
Messi is a smart man and only speaks on the pitch, playing!
Just give us the news. No one asked for your expert opinion. Who are you and me to decide what is right/wrong?
Totally with Argentina 🇦🇷
true
France team is Africa team
Messi is always silent, leave the man alone.
Excellent presentation
Always a delight listening to this beautiful lady.
That VP acts like she isn't aware of the history associated with her country...and there subtle way of eliminating blacks... Putting in that aside France should look at Ousmane Dembele and his ignorance of words which caused controversy and he had to apologize for it in similar fashion like Enzo did...
Messi will never apologize for something he didn’t do.
Before commenting ask yourself why singing about france?
I regret supporting this National Team. I am waiting for the comment of Messy!
🤡
Let's brace for epic matches between Argentina and France from today going forward...
Did u say the same thing to dembele etc being racist towards Asian people
The league is starting and some of those players play in Europe...Don't forget what happened to Vinicius Junior.
But why were they singing about france when france is from Europe i need answers 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️?
Maybe they were going through all of the songs that fans or players in Argentina sing and that one happened to be next in line. That's the only reason I can think of , hard to understand.
Why is it that Mbappe always talk about south American football yet he is playing euro
He never said South america .He said World Cup .....@@chisomodouglas2084
Not one of the goat ,He is the GOAT 🐐
En Argentina, el olvido historiográfico sobre la contribución y presencia de la población afrodescendiente ha sido muy similar, según le explica a BBC Mundo el historiador Felipe Pigna.
"La invisibilización de los negros en la historia es tremenda. Prácticamente no se les menciona", asegura Pigna.
"Hubo una manipulación que llegó convertida en historia oficial a las escuelas. Y quedó como historia canónica, en la que ni las mujeres, ni los pueblos originarios, ni los afrodescendientes tenían un lugar".
"Por suerte eso ha ido cambiando y se ha demostrado que esa historia era mayormente falsa".
Pigna pone como ejemplo de ese proceso de invisibilización el caso de María Remedios del Valle, "que era una afrodescendiente que participó en los ejércitos de Manuel Belgrano, uno de los libertadores, en todas sus batallas".
Boooo Even Deschamps in 2018 said France is proudly an african team but now they bother about an stadium chant.
Messi was quick to turn his back on Icardi. Why is he silent now?
You want him to speak what. Mbappe is from Cameroon is this racism.
@@ziizvangu3494Argentinians are fascist Italians, Nazi Germans and Spanish conquistadores. Of course they are racists.
The Media is doing everything to involve Messi in this . He doesn’t need too Enzo already issued an apology
*Trump almost gets killed
The World: what's in the news
*Escuchen!!! Corran la bola!!!
The World: MY GOSH!!! THIS IS UNVELIEBABLE!!! WHERE IS MESSI??? WHERE IS MESSI??????
It was at this moment they knew, they really messed up.
It's dumb because the 2024 Olympics are in Paris also if Bueno Aires was trying to bid for a future Olympics it possibly ruined its chances being that the IOC is based in Switzerland a Francophone country
Messi is the face of Argentina,& its hypocrisy..Enzo is the fall guy & FIFA is also party to this nonsense it never takes action against racism...Messi the face of . ....remember the controversy in Qatar against a certain team ?????
Where is racism in that chant??!
Messi is silent. He is on vacation.
Ripped Argentina apart. Yeah right. Like they care
Enzo's mistake. He apologized. What messi has to apologize or speak up? What are they expecting? Kicking Argentina from World Cup because of one guy?
Yes, the media needs to keep pushing it because fifa is too quiet. Still waiting for a response from fifa. Favoritism at its peak.
