Former Netherlands Head Coach Louis van Gaal has stirred controversy with his recent allegations surrounding the 2022 FIFA World Cup held in Qatar. Van Gaal claims that the tournament was orchestrated for Lionel Mescsi and Argentina to win their first World Cup since 1986. As the Dutch outlet NOS quoted, “I mean everything I say by that. That Messi had to become world champion? I think so, yes.”
In the tournament’s final, Messi led Argentina to victory against defending champions France, marking a momentous achievement for the Albiceleste. However, Van Gaal suggests that the path to Argentina’s triumph was premeditated, insinuating that the tournament was set up to ensure Messi’s success.
One of the tournament’s standout matches was Argentina’s quarter-final clash against Van Gaal’s Netherlands. The game ended in a penalty shootout, with Argentina prevailing 4-3. Van Gaal has now questioned the fairness of the match, pointing to alleged biased refereeing decisions and suggesting that the game was rigged in favor of Argentina.
Van Gaal’s remarks have sparked controversy and are likely to face backlash. Particularly from those associated with the reigning world champions, Argentina. The veteran Dutch coach’s comments add a contentious twist to the narrative of the 2022 World Cup. They also raise questions about the tournament’s integrity.
