Football takes a back seat in Russia
The World Cup in Russia will now be remembered for the scandals between players, coaching staff, leaders, and even journalists. And now, former footballers are also getting involved. Like the case of Nery Pumpido, who was crowned in Mexico 86 and, surprisingly, added fuel to the fire.
Nery Pumpido's tweet "response" to Caruso Lombardi.
Although he did not comment on Messi and company, the former goalkeeper posted a suggestive tweet. "These 'little idiots' are world champions, the last maximum joy of the Argentine people in football. I hope it is repeated in this World Cup," he wrote next to an image of that team led by Carlos Salvador Bilardo.

The big question is who was it directed towards. And the answer was not long in coming. Ricardo Caruso Lombardi was the one who had treated him that way on the show Polémica en el Bar when he spoke about the current squad and said, "They think they are the owners of the truth, like those from 86, who think they have a d\*\*k like that and they are little idiots who want to grab the union of coaches, players, the National Team...".
Javier Mascherano takes a shot at Ricardo Caruso Lombardi: "He is a despicable person"
Sampaoli is considering a team with many veterans and Higuaín as a striker for the decisive clash against Nigeria
Another hit for Caruso, just when he had been criticized by Javier Mascherano, who called him a "despicable person." Will there be a response?
