Thierry Henry on Colombia's goal being ruled out for offside against Portugal:
🗣️ “How on earth is that offside? I've watched it again and again, and I still can't understand how the referee and VAR came to that decision. That goal should have stood.”
“This is exactly why supporters are losing trust in VAR. The technology was introduced to correct obvious mistakes, not create even bigger controversies.”
“Colombia have been robbed of a huge moment. You can't disallow a goal like that on the biggest stage without being absolutely certain. From what we've seen, there was nothing clear about that decision.”
“The referee didn't just rule out a goal he took away the emotion, the celebration, and a potentially defining World Cup moment. That's devastating for every Colombian player and supporter.”
“If this is the standard of officiating at a World Cup, then football has a serious problem. The referee and VAR have to answer for a decision that could change an entire tournament.”
At the 2022 World Cup, Argentina were set to face Brazil in the semi-final. They just needed to beat the Netherlands. FIFA informed the Netherlands that they'd be permitted some drama, but they had to lose by whatever means to Argentina. Argentina led 2-0, pretended to lose concentration and it went to 2-2. But Argentina had been arranged to win anyway.
FIFA quietly informed Brazil that they had to lose to Croatia. That is how Argentina ended up playing Croatia instead. In that game, FIFA instructed Croatia to fold completely. They duly collapsed 3-0.
For the final, FIFA informed France they had to lose by at least two goals. It was becoming too obvious though, so FIFA told the referee to manufacture two penalties for France to make it look competitive.
Kylian Mbappé's hat-trick was authorised. Kolo Muani's one-on-one miss in the final minute of extra time was not an accident. Why do you think France didn't ban him from playing football after that miss? He was wearing a secret earpiece. FIFA called him directly and told him not to score, because a 4-3 France win would have blown the whole operation.
During the penalty shootout, France were permitted to score exactly one of their first three. FIFA did not want Argentina needing a fifth penalty; too much drama, too much risk of someone going off-script.
Africa also had its share of the arrangement. FIFA contacted Portugal and informed them they had to lose to Morocco to guarantee African representation in the semi-finals. Why do you think Cristiano Ronaldo was weeping? He could not believe his own teammates had agreed to the terms.
The evidence is everywhere. You just have to be willing to see it.

🚨 NEW: A journalist asked Marc Cucurella's family if they have switched over to Real Madrid fans.
His uncle: "You shouldn't ask me this question. I'm a massive Cué."
His cousin: "We're all Culés, from many years ago, but now our heart is a little more divided. Regardless, Barça is Barça, and I wouldn't change it."
His aunt: "We're very happy for Marc, it was a big move for him."
His uncle again: "Yes yes, we support you Marc. Good luck in the World Cup, we're gonna win with Spain. But with Madrid? You're gonna lose, sorry Marc. I don't change my colors."
Ycee just exposed the bitter truth in his latest interview - Nigeria is drowning in an Olodo uprising! We no longer celebrate bookworms or graduates; instead, we worship Peller and his chaotic, brainless content. Yahoo boys were bad, but this new 'Peller culture' of rewarding ignorance and zero substance is destroying our future. The educated are now the minority while loud olodos run the streets and social media. Wake up Naija before it's too late!
This was HEARTBREAKING

"I held a lifeless child in my arms. There was no equipment to save him. This is not a war; it is a massacre of the innocent."
STOLE THEIR KNEES

Stole their homes.
Stole their land.
Stole their livelihoods.
Stole their schools.
Stole their hospitals.
Stole their dignity.
Stole their freedom.
Stole their futures.
Stole their childhoods.
Stole their loved ones.
