I kept imagining Messi in conquistador trappings! A reel of violence against indigenous population played in my mind throughout the match.

He’s a great player. But it leaves a bad taste in my mouth when blatant racism hits me in the face.
I was also yelling for France!
I love football. My grandkids look at me with utter respect and wonder when they hear me cheering!
Be well🙏🏽
