How Nike Cheated The World Cup 

Giovanni never had the talent to play for Brasil.

@@RomanSpinella what does your opinion in this matter ? he was a regular in the squad , then he got dropped because of a sponsor contract .

@@CunningStuntsGoFast No, he simply was a mid player. That's why he spent 6 years at olympiakos after barcelona. Besides, he was called for the 1997 copa america. Sooooo

this is wild...a big football crazy nation like brazil has its pride in football..how can they bow down to a US company ..they all were millionares in the best leagues anyway with or without nike..its hard to believe this version where "half of the team" is in on it..they may put pressure on the coach to put ronaldo in but if its rigged then it is much bigger (famous football players are part of certain societies ) ...i started to think about the 2022 world cup where the entire french team suddenly got the "flu" before the final ..and they certainly played like it for 80 minutes..messi having his emir connections..losing to the saudis so they are happy..that may have put the arab powerstructure/hotels etc on their side and it goes the other way around too..germany had the flu in 2014 right before their infamous 7:1 match against brazil...my theory was with a flu they are allowed to take certain medications that can cloud the doping control..i mean they played like it but at the end of the day its just speculation...argentina was really a strong team over motivated against the french...having their incredible fans behind them just gives them power and messi is the goat no doubt....and the french against brazil 1998 had the same team spirit..one for all , all for one..

@@RomanSpinella 'soooo ', you mean as in he was in the squad in 97 and after he wasnt ? exactly what i was saying . ronaldo is now in saoudi , means he is shit ? if you did not hear of this hapening , why you fight it ? i saw this all live , and he was in the line up

yeah he's putting up legend numbers before age 22

That's why cr7 even existed after

dude i was thinking the same thing like wth?!

Two things can't be denied: No independent doctor would have cleared him to play, and no independent coach would have left him on the pitch for the entire game ;)) PS I always thought that putting his shoes around his neck was a protest indicating that Nike was strangling him, shows my naivety ;)

You forget about Adidas lol 1924 Nike 1964. 40 years difference

I'm lithuanian and i agree with you. ROMARIO IS UNDERRATED, he should have been in WC 1998, no doubt.

Wasn't he sick or unfit or something? I heard the coach didn't like him. Is that true? Romario would've helped in 1998 WC

@@kennymichaelalanya7134 He is injury, but get recovered in time for the knock off stage

Romario was my favourite I agree with the statement R9 and Romario together a no brainer

The coach then was an ex teammate of Romario so he benched him for personal reasons,...but Romario is real king

By giving them a lot of fake penalties and not suspending messi for the press conference after the semifinal match.

@@DanutPaul Those penalties were valid because they had contact 🤦🏾‍♂️ look at the Croatia one the keeper literally stopped Alvarez from running and scoring and Messi said nothing wrong in the press from him to be suspended

the french team had the flu before the final..the ref was legit and gave both sides decisions...but the french certainly played like they were sick for 80 minutes..then they sweat it out... but the gauchos really played like a legion...they swarmed and fought like defensive tiki taka.gotta respect them

@DanutPaul Turn it down a notch bud, you still have 4 years left to cry about it 😂

Messi should have been carded for his hand balls against the Netherlands.

FiFA needed someone to compete with Brazil, so they flooded France with Africans and gave them a passport

True

for a final yes. but the weirdest rigging was south korea in 2002

Unforgettable will always be Zidane headbutting Luca Toni in the 06 finals...after all the build up to the finals & to see that happen was......jaw droppingly amusing.....& disappointing if ur French & amazing if ur Italian

@@3rdworldgwaming467 he headbutted Materazzi not Luca Toni

Facts .. Completely rigged

@@marloncarthy1😂

LOL cry@@marloncarthy1

I dunno maybe the 16 year difference has an effect on a squad?

Im brazilian and he is Just saying conspiracy teories from brazilian bad papers(like the sun in Uk)

damn...well juve is famous for rigging since they got caught and relegated..i watched football all my life..champions league and world cup were like holy events to me..but stuff like this makes it really sad..(not to mention the sports betting mafia )..when covid made the stadiums empty i stopped watching bc they just played different,..you could see its more rigged than expected...with full stadiums the adrenaline takes over and its more authentic...but with empty stadiums it was a scripted training match...

Enough with all this “rigged” nonsense

@@val-zod1284 someone's a casual or a Zebra skinned prison FC supporter

​@@val-zod1284world cup is rigged. From the beginning till now. Ask yourself, why Barthez jumped on Ronaldo and no penalty given? Did u watch the match??? Brazil agreed to lose that final in return FIFA repayed them with 2002 world cup.

@@nightprowler6336 I am a huge Obesenaldo fan but they weren't winning the 98 Finals cuz the team was psychologically rattled by Ronaldo's convulsion and Ronaldo himself wasn't 100% fit. That Brazil team wasn't very good tbh, they lacked quality in central midfield outside of Dunga.

What does the image imply, having mixed feelings after the video so

@@fuyoutubeck Probably: "Thanks Nike for your sponsor; I lost the cup as you wanted. Hope you are happy"

@@mikecruz6755 yeah agreed, I don't blame Ronaldo though it was ultimately the decision of the greedy officials, he was just a wonder kid who wanted to win the biggest trophy ever

@Spencer Green rain man?

@@doncarloancelotti2256 you are to young😂

@@ChrisMDi I just don't watch enough movies to catch these refs

There is so much conspiracy and garbage dealing going on in sports that I have never paid a single hard-earned cent to see any of them. I'm fed up with most sports. Trust me, even motor racing is rigged. The last race of the 1997 season, the Williams team came under fire for allegedly cutting a spoken agreement with McLaren to hold back so Mika Hakkinen could get his first GP win. Suddenly, it was all hushed up and forgotten. Then the very next year, Hakkinen snores his way to the EASIEST world title ever. I was so disgusted that I just about gave up. I only watched the races when Ferrari were winning. After that, I switched off permanently.

France clearly brought that world cup the world could see. In the same way, Argentina brought this last one.

@@topnotch6907 cope

​@@topnotch6907 countries don't buy world cups. they are given victory by FIFA. all national teams of top level are very close to each other in quality, it's easy to make one team slip and lose, so fifa favors one team over the other based on who is more profitable. that's why Korea got so far in 2002 and morroco got so far in 2022, they were markets not yet explored and had good potential to profit. that's also why the host country almost always won the cup.

@@mr.generico386 Then what happenned to qatar?, Also south korea was a developing team at that time ad were not to be underestimated, Morroco is aso no joke, they have ziyech, ambarat and bounou.

@@francisdarin614 South Korea were better than Italy, Spain and even Portugal at the time? They had no losses in the group stage, a country that people were worried would have empty stadiums because no one cared about football? Also, look into the referee for the italy match, he is a confirmed match fixer. And about Morroco, yes they were no bad team, but to say they were one of the strongest and would finish 4th before the tournament was insane, so though it's confirmed it's reasonably to assume they were favored.

Zidane's 1998 Ballon D'or was undeserved, just like Ronaldo in 2002. The truth is Ronaldo should've won the Ballon D'or in 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998. 4 Ballon D'ors and 9-10 world class seasons should be enough for him to be a top 7-8 player of all time at least.

Rivaldo in his prime was the best to me

Would u explain? Or ur mad that Argentina won?

What do you mean by that? We don't know anything about this world cup. Corruption is everywhere in fifa but we don't know what happened in this world cup. If there was any major incidents, we will know in the upcoming years. Truth will come out. But at the time being we dont know much.

How u penaldo cryer who is the biggest flop in WC history? Argentina was by far the best team, winning 3 trophies in a row against Brazil in Copa America, Italy in la Finalissima 3-0, and france who in 80 min did nothing and giving him 2 penaltis and a last big chance, and then bottling in penaltis.

How was the referees helping them by calling 3 of their goals off side against Saudi Arabia, Gave The Netherlands 10 mins to tie up with them and gave France 2 penalties against them while ignoring France handballs 🤦🏾‍♂️

@@mo.011tbf fair Netherlands put in some big dudes and sent a shit load of crosses against little ass dudes, genuinely makes sense they tied it up. Also both pens France took were pretty legit, hard to argue those, im a Messi fan and I think the first pen Argentina got was the weakest of all of them and most likely to be called a dive

Its Nike and Adidas. Adidas make the First rigged on 1978.

That's right, the team were inadequately prepared for the situation, and first tried to get him to sleep it off! Then to walk it off, then suspected poisoning and that is mainly why they actually sent him to hospital on suspicion.

Prize?

@@dailydosefootball_ it’s okay I don’t want a prize give it to someone else

It is all excuses. Anyone that followed and knew football at the time thought France were the better team. Brazil were very shaky at the back, and France were solid. Maybe the most solid group of defenders in any World Cup. France scored the most goals, and allowed the least throughout the tournament. All that and playing at home, the fact that they won was not a surprise outside of the cry-baby Brazilians and their loudmouth fans.

@@AGoat1971 France did have a good back 4 but werent that impressive going forward at time (Stephane Guivarc'h) I agree though on the day France were better, but there was definitely something funny going on with that Brazil team

@@mrmr5580 I remember that game very well. People in Brazil and all over the world were saying something very strange was going on with that Brazilian team when they played with France. They were not the same team that was playing in previous matches. I have no doubt it was rigged.

@@brazilfabulous5147 i wouldn't necessarily go that far without actually seeing proof, but something was clearly off

Now we know everything!

Didn't rig it but affected it though.

He can't get into it without being dinged for it. Look at the corruption on other documentaries

Nike pay to CBF? Its worth this?Cant you pay to players?

cope.

Perjudicando a Italia y España para que luego ellos lo ganarán? 🤔

There were a lot of rumours, about this : There was one that he played Tomb Raider for 20 hours straight what caused an epileptic seizure 😂

@@miroslavzagorski loool

​@@luisdavasconcellos2914I don't like tinfoil hat stuff, but there is a conspiracy that I love: After the 1998 incident, FIFA gave Brazil an easy group + the weaker bracket (Turkey and England gold generation were pretty good, though), while in the other side, SK would clean up the shark tank(Spain, Italy, Germany) with "a little help". Once Brazil X SK final was certain Korea would be on his own. Easy win for Brazil, the final wouldn't look suspicious to the world, while Asia would get a "football fever" after their first WC final in 72 years. But what about France, who won 1998 WC, 2000 Euro, and reached 2006 final? Well, for some reason, they scored 0 goals against Senegal, Denmark and Uruguay, Zidane was injured, France had 10 players against Uruguay because Henry got a red card after only 25 minutes, and missed the game against Denmark... sus.

France rode brazil like a pony that day however brazil lwere drugged by maradonas argentina years back and they admitted to it, he did.

Brasil had the 2 of the best strikers on earth at the time in Ronaldo and Romario. Although many consider prime R9 the pinnacle of individual brilliance as a football player, leaving out Romario who was Still a terrific player was on the coach. With Romario Brasil would still have their leader upfront from the past decade. Stubbornness from the coach cost them thr world cup. France did it's job.

Might as well say Football is rigged then

@@mo.011 yeah yeah, Money and greed take over the sports a football ..its sad its the truth ..

@@Deco_2k i think it beyond money..i mean most players at that level are already millionares and the pride of their country really means much to them..but yea a world cup and nations probably have some intelligence contractors involved for their powergames..not to mention the sports betting mafia but they are i think more in lower leagues and then there are really wild speculations with gematria and the deep tinfoil connection..i mean that would be really creepy and suck..the entire game scripted for power games---but they couldnt make that a secret with thousands of players

​@@thomashauer6804 Bro its everywhere, if the top of the river is dirty how u expect the bottom of the river to be clear, but it's not transparent the public like that, why think clubs get band in their league u think clubs league band them like that, they had to do something to get bang, its everywhere like to told, you have illegal betting and you don't thing they know about it also bro as I said corruption is everywhere ..

Many people are saying the 2022 world cup was rigged too and Fifa wanted Argentina to win because it was Messi's last world cup.

He are...like benzema are...but who knows!

Estou enojado!

@@guilhermegorinelli Avisem o senhor Ronald Rhovald, representante da patrocinadora Nike!

You're born too late to see his magic. He was the OG. CR had to prove himself before making the name "Ronaldo" his back then

@@anturanggatantra2154 by big hes talking about his size. He fat

WTF ?!?!?!

yeah yow, Ronaldo was the real deal man, not like the CR who try to model his game of the Real Ronaldo, who u think CR get the stepover skill from, Brazil Ronaldo, injury cut his career short man, I did even get to see him play 20 games inter, Ronaldo was why I because a fan of inter and Zadan was why I become a fan of Juve, no, in my opinion, Zaden is the best midfielder I ever see play the game and Ronaldo is the best striker I ever see play the game, now that my opinion, persons might different opinion which is fine. and Zadan and Ronaldo in their prime run rings around Messi, but Messi is a great player I can't take not from him

@@Deco_2k young Ronaldo was better than young Messi. at the age of 23 and 24 Messi surpassed him and his prime was definitely better and his longevity. I really wish R9 was never injured then we would be talking about Messi vs Ronaldo - the real one

You do realise Adidas sponsor some of the World Cup awards? And the official ball? Also, if you’re going to talk about Mbappé penalties, you have to talk about Argentina’s penalties.

@@hi-ls6lt thats exactly my point. Why nike, not adidas? Why adidas not nike? Why Argentine's penalties, not Mbappe? Its all conspiracy theory which most of them has no solid evidence. The most likely explanation of this WC is, that is has no conspiracy at all, not for Messi, not for Mbappe.

@@ggh_-ts6pn Why? simple. If Mbappe had won the World Cup, it would have been his second one in a row, an unprecedented thing, almost at Pele's level. That would have been the end for Messi; a new guy wins the biggest trophy you never won two times in a row, the first 2 times he had played the tournament. Messi have been the main economic asset for Fifa and Sponsors the last 15 years, it was impossible that they let Messi once again lose the final (his last one presumably). On the other hand, Messi's boss at PSG is Qatari, they had to do it, it's a money thing. The Qatari boss of the world cup even said before the cup that "it would be nice to see Messi win the world cup here", the same thing said Infantino too. Why not Mbappe you ask? he have time, it's young, and Fifa needed desperately to make one of their biggest players of the last two decades a winner of all. They made up to 5 Copas Americas in 7 years, until Messi won one. It is pretty obvious if you ask me.

@@diegotorresbateria5074 why not mentioning they created nations league so CR7 can win another national team trophy? I think its obvious you just dont like messi and cretaing this narrative in your head. You are biased

​@@ggh_-ts6pn La crearon para reemplazar los amistosos. Nunca la hicieron para Cristiano. En cambio hicieron 5 ediciones de Copa América en 7 años. Luego, tenías a la FIFA subiendo video donde aparecía el mundial como el siguiente objetivo de Messi. Una postura totalmente parcializada nunca antes vista.

Just say I’m a Penaldo fan and i hate seeing Messi win it 😂

@@mo.011bro what, because of people like you things cannot be debated to get us closer to the truth. You are so eager to defend Messi you don’t even consider why he says this

@@HawksVR All Ronaldo fans has been calling the World Cup rigged only because Messi won it without any proof of it 💯

@@mo.011 Of course proof is impossible to find, negotiations like these are made so they are not trackable. But there are plenty of arguments as to why the WC was rigged, if you think a World Cup cannot be rigged just search the story behind both of Argentinas previous titles specially the one held in the middle of a dictatorship in Argentina

@@HawksVR If there was a real reason why it would be rigged i would believe it but they just has been crying because their favorite player Ronaldo didn’t go far in the WC and France fans is also crying because they lost even though the France players themselves said they won it fair 💯

just look at their semi and final competitor, remember england at the time was at golden generation they r stack to the teeth in all position similar to todays france and 2010 spain. you can argue their golden generation didn't win shit to show for it, but u can not argue at the time england r not better then turkey or a lacklaster germany.

@laujack24 I think that's probably right, but I'm not totally convinced. I went back and looked at the England lineup on the day and it wasn't as star studded as you'd imagine for the era.

Or, he's simply saying England at that time were much better than Turkey/Germany and South Korea - so they were confident they'd already won from that point.

@@jameshunt6414 Maybe a bit of research would have helped you. At that time, England didn't have anybody on the left-wing who was good, hence Sinclair ending up playing. Mills was starting as Gary Neville was injured and out of the tournament. Butt was playing because Gerrard was injured and Lampard hadn't become an England regular yet. Heskey always started back then. That was England's first-choice 11 minus 2 players.

@pinealdreams1064 I didn't say it wasn't England's first choice 11, I said it wasn't as star studded as you'd imagine. Thank you for proving my point. Also I actually watched the game, at the time
