FIFA BANS Paredes For A YEAR And He Has A DISGRACEFUL Reaction

Leandro Paredes just made everything worse. FIFA handed him a 10 match ban. $90,000 fine. Three counts of assault confirmed guilty. One of the most severe individual punishments in World Cup history. And then he responded. "I get a 10 game ban after I defended myself." Defended himself. That is the word he chose for the chokehold on Eric Garcia. For throwing Gavi to the ground. For pushing him in the face while already on the floor. In front of three billion people. Then — "They are all mute. Argentina remains the best team in the world with our captain Leo." Zero reflection. Zero accountability. Zero acknowledgement that anything he did was wrong. The ban applies only to international matches — Paredes continues at Boca Juniors completely unaffected. Suarez got banned from ALL football for one bite. Paredes choked someone and FIFA let him keep playing for his club. The AFA are appealing. And on August 6th — while under FIFA investigation — they declared July 15th, the date they eliminated England with the Falklands banner, as National Football Teams Day. As if to rub it in England's face. ⚽ Subscribe to ‪@MomentaFC‬ — where the beautiful game makes sense. 🔔 Hit the bell. The appeal is coming. #Paredes #FIFA #WorldCup2026
