Once you realize that anything can happen; sickness, death, lose your job... Literally, anything in the blink of an eye, you become very humble. Tables turn and that's how crazy life can get.
Always stay humble, and be grateful.
Ufff, buenísimo este compilado de 8 minutos y medio con las mejores jugadas (62) de Maradona en sus 4 Mundiales, desde las primeras ante Bélgica en 1982 hasta las últimas vs Nigeria en 1994. Para disfrutar!
Marcus Aurelius was right when he said the crowd will forget you no matter what you do. So the only real question is whether you spent your years chasing their approval or actually living for yourself.
When one of the most respected referees in world football is refused entry by the host nation, because they don't like his home country, the correct response of the other referees should be to boycott the tournament unless he is allowed to do his job. Sadly, that won't happen.
@DonCorneliano2 La única forma de garantizar que el cáncer izquierdista no regrese a Suramerica es exigirle a los votantes que tengan algún grado profesional de estudios, una persona estudiada jamás elegiría comunistas de mierda.
¡¡DÍA TRISTE PARA EL FÚTBOL!! 🥲
La FIFA ha 𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗜𝗥𝗔𝗗𝗢 𝗢𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗘 al árbitro somalí Omar Artan de la Copa del Mundo tras serle impedido el ingreso a Estados Unidos. Lo dejó claro en el siguiente comunicado:
“La FIFA confirma que el árbitro Omar Abdulkadir Artan no podrá entrenar ni actuar en la Copa del Mundo 2026 después de que se le negara la entrada a Estados Unidos. La FIFA no se involucra en los procesos de inmigración de los países anfitriones, incluidos los otorgamientos de visas, y fue informada por las autoridades de que la situación del Sr. Artan no cambiará en este momento”, afirmó la entidad.
Hoy se 𝗔𝗣𝗔𝗚𝗔𝗡 los sueños del silbante quien en 2025 fue elegido Árbitro del Año por la Confederación Africana de Fútbol (CAF).
@AlejaQuintana05 No, era más fácil darle la sede a un país que respete las normas de la FIFA, si eso hubiese pasado en cualquier otro país lo hubieran sancionado severamente.
