🗣️ “It was surely Messi's last World Cup match. He'll be 35 by the next World Cup in Qatar.”
That was said 8 years ago. 😳
Since then, he's won the World Cup, and now, at 39, has already scored five goals in just two matches at another World Cup. 🤯
🚨🗣️NEW: Zlatan Ibrahimović on FIFA’s new mouth-covering red card rule: as Almiron was given a red card for covering his mouth in the game between Paraguay and Turkey
“I have seen football at its highest level, the real football. Not this watered-down version they are serving us now. What happened with Almirón? A straight red card for covering his mouth? This is not football anymore. This is a circus run by bureaucrats in suits who have never felt the fire of the pitch.”
“Covering your mouth is now a red card? What is this, Big Brother on the field? FIFA wants to read lips, punish thoughts before they even become words. Next they will put muzzles on players like dogs. Players cannot even talk, cannot even breathe passion without some VAR robot or referee deciding your emotions are illegal. This is dystopian. Football is dying.”
“This rule was born because some players cry every week. One incident in the Champions League and suddenly the whole world must change. But elbow a man, break his leg, or spit — sometimes you get a yellow and a pat on the back. Two-tier football. Protect the protected, punish the rest. I have played in every league and I have seen it.”
On the softness of the modern game:
“Maradona would be sent off in the tunnel. Roy Keane? He would laugh at the referee and walk off with a smile while the stands burn. Pepe would have collected five reds before half-time. Today? Players are becoming actors, not warriors. They fall, they cry, they hide behind rules. Where is the masculinity? Where is the character? Football is not ballet. It is war. And they are turning it into a polite conversation with red cards as punctuation.”
“I, Zlatan, have scored goals that made stadiums shake and said things that made opponents tremble — without hiding. This generation is being raised soft. If you cannot handle words on the pitch, how will you handle life? FIFA is not protecting football. They are burying it. And one day, the real fans will rise and say: enough. Bring back the game.”

It was all Fugazi my Liberal friends. Just one big charade and manipulation game to scare you and keep power.
And if you dare have the audacity to say Carney is not Trudeau, then I ask you to look into where Carney’s kids go to school and where the majority of his investments lie.

Eravamo felici e non lo sapevamo
Anzi io lo sapevo, finali di CL, testa a testa per lo scudetto, e il canto del cigno col mondiale 2006 in piena Calciopoli, ovvero la fine del dominio dell’Italia nel calcio
Fattore determinante? L’ascesa di un club di merda a squadra di partito
@Bonetti Mancini, Gatti, Cristante did what they had to do. Italy defended for 85mins down a man, conceding 1 goal off a questionable foul. Also Donnarummas poor clearance is the reason Bastoni took a red. Please log off
