I think most people are happy to see Messi win it at last either way

This might be the one time where you really would say "keep politics out of sport". Just enjoy the moment. Oh well.

and I like Emiliano Martinez, former emergency loan player at Sheffield Wednesday

Talking about our MFA and Dibu Martinez, people here in Argentina were joking a few days ago that he should be our Minister of Foreign Affairs, since he at least speaks fluent English, while our Minister of Foreign Affairs ("chancellor"), well... he doesn't

This is a nice reply.

It's both a false equivalence (tradition != human rights; host country making the event about itself != people striving to make everyone accepted at the world's largest single-sport event) and, in drawing it, an admission that if the cloak should be allowed so rainbow t-shirts/hats/flags/armbands and symbols should be too.


Aside from that, nailed it.

Prerty sure I saw plenty of Palestinian flags on the various photos of celebrating teams.
