إذا أرادت الفيفا منح كأس العالم لميسي وفريقه، فعليها ببساطة منحه لهم والسماح لجميع الفرق الأخرى بالعودة إلى ديارها بدلاً من لعب المباريات المتبقية. هذا ما أشعر به.

If FIFA wants to hand the World Cup to Messi and his team, then they should just award it to them and let all the other teams go home instead of playing the remaining matches. That's how it feels to me.
