After Argentina's 0-1 defeat to Spain in the FIFA World Cup final, some conspiracy theories began to circulate widely in Argentina, suggesting that Argentina's loss was orchestrated. Gaston Edul, a reporter who follows the team for Argentine media outlet TyC Sports, refuted these conspiracy theories.

Gaston Edul stated: "To be honest, the reason I've remained silent and haven't said anything until now is because, in my opinion, all those so-called conspiracy theories circulating outside are a great disrespect to the team. This is truly regrettable because, you know, it's the same group of fans and spectators who once cheered and celebrated wildly for how this team turned the tide and won games from desperate situations."

"But what about now? Merely because the Argentine team didn't perform ideally in this match, and was completely outplayed and surpassed by the opponent, many people have started fabricating all sorts of conspiracy theories. These baseless remarks seriously violate the honor and dignity that this team has always upheld. Their words seem to imply that this team can be easily manipulated and controlled by some external force or unspeakable factors during a match. "

"In fact, the only thing that genuinely happened during the match is very simple and objective: Spain did indeed play better than Argentina. Argentina entered this match in a very fatigued physical and mental state, and this exhaustion, like a spent arrow, was visibly apparent on the field. "

"But even in such a fatigued and difficult situation, and even when we were down to ten men due to a red card, the opponent only managed to score a goal in the second half of extra time. The team's ability to fight and persist until that moment was entirely due to the tenacious playing style and indomitable spirit that Argentina embodied throughout the entire FIFA World Cup. "

"As for all the remaining speculation and controversy after the match, for me personally, we should never give them any additional importance, nor should we allow them to generate more public opinion and repercussions. Because if we continue to discuss, focus on, or respond to these remarks, we are actually encouraging and nurturing false things that simply do not exist and are completely detached from reality.
