Argentina was losing 0-2 to Egypt…

79 minutes gone.

And I made the stupid mistake of asking Claude one question at halftime: "Has Argentina ever come back from 0-2 in a World Cup?"

The answer: never. Not once in history.

I showed my best friend Alan. He looked at me and said, "Don't show me that. I don't want to read that."

Now let me rewind…

Three days ago Alan called me. He had 4 World Cup tickets. Then he sold them. Then he said, "Let's go anyway." No tickets in hand. Just go.

So we loaded the car at 11pm and drove from Toronto to Atlanta. 20 hours one way. Two supportive wives at home with the kids saying "go, we've got them."

We could have flown. We drove on purpose. The tension, the turns behind the wheel, fighting the tiredness at 3am – THAT is what memories are made of. You don't get that on a 2 hour flight.

Somewhere in the dark a deer jumped onto the highway. Alan was driving my Tesla on Full Self-Drive and it braked before he ever saw it. He turned to me: "I would have smashed right into that deer." With G-d's help, we kept driving.

We refreshed FIFA and StubHub for 16 hours straight. Finally bought two tickets right on the corner, close enough to almost touch Messi, for $2,000 each.

Here is what I want you to actually hear:

Being able to drop everything and say YES to a last-minute trip with one of your best friends is not luck. It is the byproduct of working hard and designing a life that lets you go. That is Point A to Point B. That is what we work for.

But the real lesson came at minute 79.

0-2. Devastated. I actually asked myself, "Am I the bad luck? Did I drive 40 hours round trip just to watch my team lose the first time I ever see them in person?"

Then the first goal went in. My reaction was immediate: "The game is ALIVE. The game is alive."

One goal. That's all it took to believe. Then a second. Then a third… in about 12 minutes. Argentina 3, Egypt 2. The first 0-2 comeback in their history, and I was standing on the corner where all three goals happened.

Two things I'm taking home:

The Egyptian fans next to us started chanting "Messi, Messi" to mock us while they were WINNING. The game wasn't over. Never celebrate the win before the final whistle, because what you throw up in the air comes back down on you.

And our players never put their heads down. No selfishness. They played as a team and won as a team. The game is at least 90 minutes. You don't stop until the very end.

My ears are still ringing. Over 100 decibels for two hours. We stayed in that stadium an hour after the final whistle and none of us wanted to leave.

If you're 0-2 in your career right now, undervalued, drained, dreading Monday… listen to me:

The game is alive.

Trust the process. Don't put your head down. Score one goal and watch what you start to believe.

NEW 🚨: El Salvador’s President Just Issued a Challenge to Trump—“You Have 350 Million People to Liberate.”

This wasn’t a photo op. It was a mission briefing.

At the White House, El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele looked President Trump dead in the eye and said:

“You have 350 million people to liberate.”

Bukele isn’t just talking tough—he has the results to prove that it can be done.

“We turned the murder capital of the world—that’s what the journalists called it—into the safest country in the western hemisphere,” he said.

Critics complain about mass arrests.

Bukele fired back:

“Sometimes they say we imprisoned thousands. I like to say we liberated millions.”

Trump grinned: “That’s very good! Who gave him that line? Do you think I can use that?”

Then Bukele hit the heart of the problem:

“To liberate 350 million people, you have to imprison some. That’s the way it works, right? You can’t just free the criminals and think crime’s going to go down magically. You have to imprison them—so you can liberate 350 million Americans asking for the end of crime and the end of terrorism.”

No fluff. No fantasy. Just facts.

This is what happens when real leaders speak truth.

America is finally ready to listen.

@IAKOW_Neil Makes no sense even with that context, how much will they make vs how much the men made? This is a loose situation for the men no matter what context you add there. The $ amount the woman get is way higher from this CBA than what the men will get from the woman's cup.

@Herobis1 @TocororoLiberal Era legal o ilegal en país? Se dejó arrestar o no? Trato de correr? Decir que fue asesinado sin contexto no es decirme nada. Además puedo encontrar mil videos de los policías cochinos en Cuba dando palo solo por expresar su opinión de la mierda del comunismo.

🚨 Rubio desenmascara la falsa promesa del socialismo
El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, compartió este miércoles en Truth Social un video de 2020 en el que el entonces senador Marco Rubio, hoy secretario de Estado, explica por qué considera que el socialismo fracasa como sistema político.
🎥 En el video, Rubio afirma que el llamado “socialismo democrático” tiene sus raíces en el marxismo y se basa en una promesa que considera engañosa: entregar libertades individuales a cambio de seguridad, salud y educación gratuitas.
🗣️ “Si entregas tu libertad individual, te daremos seguridad, salud gratuita y educación gratuita. Pero cuando no pueden cumplir esa promesa, no recuperas tu libertad”, sostiene Rubio.
Según el funcionario, la libertad no se limita a votar en elecciones, sino también a poder elegir tu médico, decidir sobre la educación de tus hijos y mantener el control sobre decisiones fundamentales de tu vida.
📌 Para Rubio, cuando el Estado concentra ese poder, los ciudadanos pierden capacidad de decisión sin obtener necesariamente los beneficios prometidos.

Sin dudas, ver los rostros de las víctimas frente a quienes las encarcelaron y persiguieron es una imagen que ni Bruno Rodríguez ni la delegación del régimen esperaban presenciar en la ONU.

Gracias al embajador Michael Waltz por recordar ante el mundo que detrás de cada cifra hay un rostro, una familia y una historia de represión.

Los cubanos no olvidaremos a quienes, en los momentos más difíciles, decidieron tenderle la mano al pueblo y no a sus verdugos.

Tras la vergonzosa votación de la ONU sobre Cuba, el embajador estadounidense Mike Waltz destaca la doble moral de los comunistas:

“Si no hay dinero en Cuba para combustible, comida o medicinas, ¿cómo hay combustible para el jet privado de la familia Castro? ¿Cómo puede permitirse el presidente cubano sus corbatas Hermes y sus plumas Montblanc?”.

Sigan @ClaroyDirecto_ para más.

@Herobis1 @TocororoLiberal Que grandes problemas imbecil? Los propios communistas de mierda en todos lados son los problemas. Rata es la puta de tu madre. Aquí todos tenemos la oportunidad de crecer y no ser igual de muerto de hambre como todos los singaos communistas en la isla. Vete a la 💩!
