Mia Khalifa has said she may buy a Jude Bellingham shirt after the England midfielder appeared to slap an Argentina player following the Three Lions' World Cup semi-final defeat on July 15. Bellingham was shaking hands with opponents when he seemed to have an altercation with Argentina's unused substitute Valentin Barco. New footage showed Barco had previously wound up England's players by charging towards them after Argentina equalised, rather than celebrating with his own team.
Mia Khalifa's Reaction to Bellingham Incident
Khalifa, who has been consistently rooting against Argentina, enjoyed Bellingham's reaction. She wrote: "The might buy a Bellingham kit just for that slap lmfaoooooooo." The former adult creator was seen wearing a Spain shirt while attending Spain's World Cup quarter-final match earlier this week.
World Cup Final Predictions
Speaking to betting site 1Win, Khalifa predicted Spain would win the final 3-1, ending Lionel Messi's last World Cup appearance. She also backed Spain's Lamine Yamal to score in the final and joked she would love to see another slap to an Argentina player after the Bellingham incident.
Explaining the 'VARgentina' Hate
When asked about her apparent hatred for Argentina, which she calls 'VARgentina', Khalifa said it was for the "love of the game." Writing on 1Win, she explained: "I'm a little witchy so I love the fact that some outlet reported that Lamine Yamal is 19, playing on the 19th, wearing number 19. Numbers don't lie!!!! And I don't mean stats, I mean numerology!! Aside from that I'm rooting against Argentina solely for the love of the game of hating." She added: "If I have to pick a lesser of two colonial evils, I think VARgentina are the far worse!! I'm hoping for a 3-1 Spain final, with a goal from Lamine Yamal, and another post game slap for an Argentina player. I'd settle for either, though!!"
AI-Generated Images Cause Confusion
Some fans thought Khalifa had attended multiple World Cup fixtures, but AI-generated images have been used to falsely depict her at stadiums. One fake image went viral during the group stages, showing Khalifa allegedly at the USA vs Paraguay game alongside adult star Lana Rhoades at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Khalifa publicly debunked the image, stating on Instagram: "It's AI, I wouldn't have a team USA hat."
