You are a despicable man who knows nothing about justice. Everyone has come to see your true nature. You have shown the world exactly who you are.
You are Messi's dog.

Fuck your mother

Damn whores like your mother, who gave birth to the most despicable and filthiest person in the world—a Jew, an infidel, a bribe-taker, and the son of a whore. God will take revenge on you, you son of a whore.
