Tempers flared in the closing minutes of the FIFA World Cup quarterfinal in which Argentina beat Netherlands 4-3 on penalties to qualify for the semifinals.
And Lionel Messi was at the center of it.
Van Gaal had said that Messi doesn't have a role to play when the ball isn't in Argentina's possession and the 35-year-old star Argentina star ensured he celebrated his goal right in front of the Dutch coach and later confronted him after the match.
Van Gaal in shock and almost crys :rofl::rofl::rofl: pic.twitter.com/pwydKVPDcd — Khaleed (@afayeed254) December 9, 2022 "I feel disrespected by Van Gaal after his pregame comments and some Dutch players spoke too much during the game.
If you talk they sanction you; FIFA must think about it, they can't put a referee who isn't up to the task for these instances," he said.
