France has also won 5 games in a row, not a single controversy about fairness. EVERY Argentina’s game has ended with one controversy or the other. It’s not a coincidence
“Ícaro se rió mientras caía, porque sabía que había tocado el sol. No estaba triste porque sabía que la caída significaba que había volado más alto que nadie. Otros vivieron seguros en la tierra, pero nunca sabrían lo que se siente llegar tan alto”
There’s something strange about this World Cup, but somehow everyone is pretending it looks normal.
France are fighting for their lives in the Round of 16.
Brazil already had a tough first knockout game.
England have a serious opponent in the Round of 16.
Portugal had a difficult group and now have Spain waiting.
Every big team has had to suffer somewhere.
Except one.
One team has somehow been given a clean road straight to the quarter-finals, and we’re meant to believe it’s just coincidence.
Ronaldo is about to face Spain for the 4th time in 6 World Cups: 2006, 2010, 2018, 2026
He has also faced Brazil in 2010, Germany in 2014, and England in 2006.
Meanwhile Messi has played 6 World Cups and still hasn’t faced Spain, England, Brazil, or Italy once.
But we’re supposed to pretend the paths are the same?
Cuando se publicó Fuego y Sangre en 2018, le preguntaron a George R. R. Martin cuál era su personaje favorito del libro. Su respuesta fue Daemon Targaryen, y la explicación que dio me parece una de las mejores definiciones del personaje que existen.
Martin explicó que siempre ha sentido una especial predilección por los personajes grises, y señaló que Daemon es uno de los más complejos de toda la historia de Westeros. Lo describió como uno de sus Targaryen favoritos, un personaje carismático, impredecible y profundamente contradictorio.
“Nunca sabes qué va a hacer ni de qué lado está”, afirmó el autor. “¿Hará algo espantoso? ¿Hará algo heroico? Hace ambas cosas a lo largo de la historia”. Para Martin, esa capacidad de moverse constantemente entre la luz y la la oscuridad es precisamente lo que hace tan fascinante al Príncipe Canalla.
Personalmente, creo que esa es la razón por la que Daemon sigue generando tantos debates entre los fans. No es un héroe clásico ni un villano tradicional, es un personaje lleno de matices, capaz de inspirar admiración y rechazo a partes iguales. Y al final, son precisamente esos personajes tan humanos los que terminan dejando una huella más profunda.
¿Creéis que Daemon es el personaje más fascinante de la Casa Targaryen?
Kylian Mbappé in the World Cup is the scariest tournament player I’ve ever seen. Better than R9. Better than Zidane. Better than whoever your imagination wants to bring up.
Champions League is Cristiano’s kingdom.
World Cup is Mbappé’s kingdom.
Anything else is just people lying to themselves.
World Cup Mbappe is the most frightening demonic entity in every sport I've ever watched. He's scarier than 2012 Messi, noodle hair Ronaldo, finals Jordan, 16 Bron, on his day Pogba and set 5 Djokovic put together. I'm lost for words
@Iwarifgha1 This is why it is best to take a loan to grow a business instead of starting one.
A growing business would have encountered this sort of challenge before, so a loan would be taken to expand the business or prevent a challenge such as this from happening in the first place.
Cristiano Ronaldo is human. He acts like a human as expected
He makes mistakes just like you and I
He let you know his mind
He speaks about his emotions
He has his imperfections
He has his flaws
He doesn't fake it
Everything he does is humanly and not perfect
The street can relate with Ronaldo because that is how the street behave
But Messi has been painted as a spirit
He has no sins
He is a saint
He cannot make mistakes
Everything he does is perfect
The street can't relate because the street is not PERFECT
Mbappe’s ability to shine in teams filled with superstars is actually insane.
If he can have Ronaldo and Messi’s longevity in the game, he’s going in those conversations. He’s already being held to their standards and expectations. Since the 20/21 season until 25/26, he has dropped five 40+ goal seasons with 21/22 being the only exception because he scored 39. I don’t think some people fully understand what we’re seeing right now. He delivers every single time across all competitions. He has just been unlucky in the Champions League unfortunately but he’ll definitely win a few of those in the future.
Our generation was lucky to witness Ronaldo and Messi, the younger generation after us will have Mbappe.
He’s the dictionary definition of a generational talent.
