The Conmebol has suspended Lionel Messi for three months after his statements during the Copa América. The Argentine will also have to pay a fine of 50.000 dollars

CONMEBOL has published the sanction to the Argentina captain for his controversial statements against he was sent-off in the game against Chile.

The Argentina captain accused the organization of corruption after receiving a red card during the 3rd/4th Play-Off match against Chile as he believed that Conmebol had been favouring Brazil throughout the tournament.

The suspension begins from today, August 3, and will last for 90 days, in which Messi will only miss three games for the Albiceleste, three friendlies against Chile, Mexico and Germany.

Therefore, Messi will be able to feature in the qualifying matches for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, except for the first game as he will have to serve the one-match ban for the red card he picked up against Chile.

This is so odd Read More.....

I don't think Messi deserves this madness, we all see how that Copa America was been played, that red card was no where an offense, and what Messi said was just the truth, though he went too far, before u make such comment u will expect Ur ban

I jus wished him the best, it's his career and not mine, nothing changes the fact that he is rich and I am poor
God save the king

That's the power of a real goat. Unlike the other one that could have been permanently

That's good news there. He should learn to control his mouth especially when the field did not favour him. Did Argentina really need him? I guess no. What did I no self

Mhcewwwwww

FIFA don force this fake goat into international retirement...




Best for him anyway....


Any messcy fan that quote me will remain poor for ever

hustle for ur future bro, this guy is fvcking rich even without any international trophies

This guy ain't getting Player of the Year 2019.
He should just forget it with this kind of news.

Ronaldo fans right now, and for those 3 months

Who are they fooling?, are they scared of Messi?..... Just imagine,he will only missed friendlies within that 3 months,this people are mad,they suppose to banned him for 3 to 5 Argentina competition matches, that little man is becoming rude,nobody has ever accused continental association body like that,how i wish he can just try it with UEFA, he can't try it with UEFA anyway, he won't dare to bites fingers that feed him and UEFA has been backing him for long time. Both FIFA and UEFA are most corrupt associations in the world of soccer,beside,it was FIFA that suppose to banned him or add more ban to it, because if it was Ronaldo,the world won't rest, Hypocrites.

Maybe Argentina friendlies will be better this time without him,beside, Argentina don't need Messi, they would have allow him to retire..

Asun

Your mindset can change it. Dare to believe.

Hmmm

You know NOT the difference between "do/does" and "did"

Hmmmmm... Comparing the gravity of what Messi said ( the allegations ) and this punishment I think it's cos he's a super star, if not the punishment would have been much bigger.

This is not a real ban in substance. It's more like a much needed break from Argentina duties that Messi needs. He's just missing three friendlies. Means he gets to get a rest during club duties when others are busy on international assignments.

And, the 50,000 dollars fine is probably just 2 hours income for him.

It's clear. The GOAT is the winner here. This also shows that he wields much more clout that a lot of people give him credit for.

I thought it was a 1500 dollars fine

You idiots saw in the letter that it's a 3k dollar fine

What am i even typing. This drink never still clear

Can we ban him from football? Each time.I remember the under 21 match where he scored 2 penalties... My heart skips, I hate the fact that I just love what he does in the pitch
