The statistics of the game speak for themselves . Argentina 21 fouls - zero punishment /whistle, or cards given . Video evidence everywhere . The World Cup trophy means nothing if rusted with corruption .

You are a corrupt and unscrupulous person. How can your government entrust you with your job? How can you walk among people while you are branded with shame?

Vous êtes une personne corrompue et sans scrupules. Comment votre gouvernement peut-il vous confier ce poste ? Comment pouvez-vous circuler librement parmi les gens alors que vous êtes couvert de honte ?
