De todos los infiernos que ha descrito la literatura, ninguno llega al punto cruel de tener que cavar un mes entero, días y noches, para sacar los cadáveres de familiares entre los escombros, sin ayuda profesional, maquinarias ni Estado.
Siempre sostuve que lo peor del ser humano aflora con las religiones y los nacionalismos. Olvidé mencionar el fútbol, que a veces conjuga ambas cosas. Y en cierto modo, el fútbol es como Twitter: retrata muy bien lo mejor y lo peor del individuo. Y no me refiero a los jugadores.
🚨Luka Modric on Lionel Messi Deserving the World Cup Golden Ball:
🗣️ “You can’t decide the Golden Ball in a World Cup just because of a single match. This is embarrassing.
Messi has performed so well throughout this entire tournament. Even though he didn’t win the World Cup, he deserves the Golden Ball.
He carried Argentina, created chances out of nothing, and was the best player on the pitch in almost every game. One final doesn’t erase everything he did before that.
I’ve seen many World Cups, but the way they’re treating this feels completely wrong. You don’t ignore months of brilliance and hand it to someone else just because of one game.
Messi has been the standout player of the tournament by a distance. If that’s not enough to win the Golden Ball, then I don’t know what is anymore.”
No sé qué es más loco que se haya subido las medias antes del gol que anota a quien le tocaba marcar, o que se las siga subiendo después del gol que los deja fuera del mundial…
"Medias"
Por este pequeño detalle que notaron los usuarios en el gol de Ferrán Torres: Simeone deja de correr para subirse las medias.

🚨 Zlatan Ibrahimović on Lionel Messi not winning the World Cup Golden Ball:
🗣️: “What else did Messi have to do to win it? I genuinely don’t understand the criteria anymore. If you look back at 2018, Luka Modrić won the Golden Ball without winning the World Cup. So what changed now?
“Messi carried Argentina throughout the tournament, delivered when it mattered most, and was once again the player everyone feared. If that wasn’t enough, then tell me what is.
“It feels like the standards are always different when it comes to Messi. Every other player gets judged one way, but with him, people suddenly move the goalposts. It’s always against Messi.
“I’m happy for Rodri, but from a football perspective, I don’t think anyone had a stronger case than Messi.”
Interesante esto del 2026:
🇦🇷 Argentina le ganó en mundial a Inglaterra, país angloparlante que inventó el fútbol, el deporte nacional argentino.
🇻🇪 Venezuela le ganó en mundial a Estados Unidos, país angloparlante que inventó el béisbol, el deporte nacional venezolano.
🇻🇪🤝🇦🇷
🇦🇷 A lot of people online are debating whether Messi was offside on the assist for the winner.
When you look at the lines though, it looks pretty clear he stayed on. The ref and VAR agreed.
