Things aren't going well for Lionel Messi when it comes to his national team.
In the same night where he won the World Cup qualifier against Chile on a controversial penalty, Messi insulted one of the assistant referees with a phrase we'd rather not repeat here. Leo was charged by FIFA because of the incident, and the ruling on his punishment came in on Tuesday.
It is a very heavy punishment:
Footballer Lionel Messi has been found guilty of violating art. 57 of the FDC for having directed insulting words at an assistant referee.
