@shiniestwoman@Maralt3869@NadieLee2024@FabrizioRomano Inglaterra no cuenta esto en su historia oficial, por eso toda la gente de habla inglesa cree que Inglaterra ocupó unas islas vacías.
Incluso en Malvinas a día de hoy hay carteles e infraestructura en español.
Funnily enough, I had the complete opposite experience with Argentina fans.
It’s funny because I always told myself that I would only support Argentina while Messi played for them.
However, this World Cup changed everything for me.
I had once fallen victim to the propaganda about Argentines being arrogant, rejecting being Latino, etc.
I was fortunate enough to attend three Argentina games this World Cup (vs. Egypt/Switzerland/England) and truly learned what great people they are and how proud that they are of their country.
The few of you on here who know me irl know that I’m quite sociable, so I naturally interacted with many Argentines around the stadiums. Many of whom could tell that I wasn’t Argentine because of my accent, but every single one embraced me as one of them because, in the words of the old Argentine man I met in Kansas City, “todos somos hermanos latinos.”
I learned their songs and chants, celebrated incredible goals with them, and shared hugs with strangers I’d never met before.
The affection that the Argentine public showed me in these last two weeks will stay with me forever.
I don’t think I can ever stop being a fan now…
Los estoicos recomendaban la visualización negativa (premeditatio malorum).
Seneca, el autor principal del concepto. Aconsejaba meditar regularmente sobre el exilio, la pobreza y la muerte. Decía que el dolor golpea más fuerte a quien no lo espera.
Acá el Licha lo explica en acción.
"Quiero volver a robarle un gol al ladron" "Y que brille la 4ta estrella en el cielo glorioso de mi nacion" son 2 frases de la putisima madre. Pero el "quiero ganarme 100 años de perdon" es tan hermeticamente argentino que sobrepasa todo
Si pueden leer en inglés, háganse el tiempo para leer este artículo de The Atlantic. Es brillante.
Sé que hay cierta ironía en que estoy escribiendo un tweet sobre él, pero pues qué les digo.
Está gratis en el tweet citado.
South American teams are so hard to play against, not because they’re necessarily better than you but because they force you to play their game, not yours. They don’t care if they only have 30% possession or if people call their football ugly. Their entire focus is on winning every duel, staying compact, frustrating you, and making every single attack feel like you’re running into a brick wall.
Tactically, they’re incredibly disciplined. The distances between the defenders and midfielders are so small that there are barely any passing lanes through the middle. If you want to break them down, you’re usually forced wide, and even then they’re aggressive in the box and dominant in aerial duels. They defend every cross like it’s the last minute of a World Cup final.
They’re also masters of controlling the rhythm of a game. They’ll slow it down when they need to, speed it up when there’s space, commit tactical fouls, win cheap free kicks, and make every restart take just a little longer. It can be frustrating to watch if you’re supporting the other team, but it’s an art they’ve perfected over decades.
And then there’s the mentality. South American teams genuinely believe they can beat anyone. Whether it’s Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, or Colombia, they embrace suffering. They’ll defend for 90 minutes if that’s what the match demands, and when that one counterattack or set piece arrives, they’ll take it without hesitation.
That’s why European possession-heavy teams often struggle against them. Having 70% of the ball means nothing if you can’t create clear chances. South American sides are comfortable without possession because they know football matches are decided by moments, not possession statistics. They’re patient, ruthless, and incredibly difficult to break down when they commit to a defensive game plan.
@AyrtonnMolinaro@GoldeoroCarp@LeeoPeralta@mauroszeta La legítima defensa no tiene que ser proporcional, tiene que ser racional en función a la agresión inicial y los medios disponibles. El objetivo de la defensa no es hacer un duelo parejo, es terminar la agresión. Si sos un viejo te podés defender con un palo de un tipo joven.
Fueron 3 años en los que me hiciste ser el hincha más feliz del mundo.
5 estrellas. No me las contaron, las viví y fue gracias a vos.
Eternamente agradecido.
