Lionel Scaloni: "We are losing the essence of football. Not only at a professional level, but also with kids."
"My children play in Spain and are overwhelmed with information. They receive the ball, and they're already being told what to do."
"There are fewer dribblers because if they barely get the ball and you say, 'Pass it!'... Imagine if Messi, when he was eight years old, had been constantly told by his coaches to "Pass it!" We wouldn't have him today."
"Football has become such a huge thing, everyone reads, studies, and thinks that with that, they can already manage."
"If you tell a 7 or 8-year-old to make a diagonal run, cover defensively... He's seven years old! Let him play with the ball, make mistakes, and when he's 14 or 15, then we can start correcting."
"It's a message for the future. This is a sport, and the beauty of football should not be lost."
The condition of one of Nigeria’s most critical highways has been getting worse for years and recently it ground to a complete halt for days.
Al Jazeera asked people on the Benin-Agbor-Asaba road how they view this infrastructure crisis.
Tom Hardy just dropped a collab album with CZARFACE, which consists of Inspectah Deck, 7L & Esoteric.
Tom Hardy raps under the alias Frankie Pulitzer, and on “Mad Technology” with Method Man, he has the final verse and says:
“You shit-for-brain no-name lame that bites like Cujo
I’d rather masturbate to Kathy Bates than hear you flow.”
😭😭😭😭😭
"Universities are slut factories."
"Any system where a young woman lives without any oversight produces sluts
A 21 year old girl has sexual desires. If you put her in an environment with tons of men with zero oversight, she will act on them.
Your options are to either keep them home or marry them early
If you want to marry her at 28, what are you even expecting them to do? Wait until 28 to sex in the modern cultural environment?
That just makes you a dumb/bad parent who is responsible for spoiling the girl.
People want to start having sex at around 15-18 years old. At some point you have to give it them via marriage or they will find it elsewhere if they can
This is an era where birth control is everywhere, premarital sex is not a taboo, and social reputations do not stick
This is why in every stable society of the past, women went from the care of their fathers to the care of their husband
There was no intermittent party phase
It is a modern concept that does not work. It turns women into whores"
