\u201cThe French team got deliberately poisoned\u201d – Piers Morgan suggests 2022 FIFA World Cup was rigged in Argentina\u2019s favour <\/strong><\/h1>\n

British journalist Piers Morgan has suggested that the 2022 FIFA World Cup final has been rigged in Argentina’s favour.<\/p>\n

La Albiceleste headed into half-time of the final against\u00a0France<\/a>\u00a0with a 2-0 lead, with Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria the scorers. Morgan has made a suggestion that Didier Deschamps’ side’s poor performance is due to the team getting poisoned.<\/p>\n

He tweeted:<\/p>\n

“It wasn\u2019t a virus, the French team clearly got deliberately poisoned.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Messi<\/a> struck from the spot in the 23rd minute before Di Maria scored a fine counter-attacking goal in the 36th. Deschamps’s side lacked any threat, with Kylian Mbappe<\/a>\u00a0nonexistent, and the defence making several errors.<\/p>\n

Reports claimed before the final that Raphael Varane, Kingsley Coman and Ibrahima Konate were all affected by a virus before the final, per\u00a0the Guardian<\/a>. Nevertheless, Les Bleus started at full strength and as slight favourites, but their first-half performance was one to forget.<\/p>\n

Messi and company are heading towards the FIFA World Cup trophy and are doing so in style. Deschamps will need to oversee a monumental comeback for France to defend their crown, which is slipping away.<\/p>\n

Les Bleus lacked energy and were a stark contrast to the side that were impressive en route to the FIFA World Cup final. They didn’t attempt a single shot throughout the first half and had only 40% possession.<\/p>\n
