@thefinalbeggins @RheinV_ Si no ganábamos ese juego, Omar Lopez se mandaba una cagada en fase de knockout. Cómo pasó en el mundial pasado con usa

@_ghost_____ @gatocabron49 @BurakYngn Agree. As a Venezuelan I get the "baseball is boring" but I'm too culturally rooted to that sport that I just can't not enjoy it.

@_ghost_____ @gatocabron49 @BurakYngn I have seen a few hockey matches, and I barely can follow what is happening plus the disc is very small.

@chudfinallyboss @BigMorito Create your own structures and don't emigrate to europe, so you can have your own players.

[Freddy 🇻🇪 @Freddy_VEN]

@FilWithAnEff @BigMorito Without them they wouldn't be as competitive either.

[OK Then @okaythenfuture]

This is not what it says at all,

it actually suggests that Africans just do better under European governance + management, being trained in systems not run by Africans,

which is why you shouldn't really be shouting out about it as an amazing thing or something to be proud about.

Africans get extremely egotistical about this, and I don't think they realize it makes them look stupid.

Even most of the African teams are staffed and stocked by their diaspora born children, so its like France is doing the work for 10+ federations.

@n30n5223434 So linguistic reconstructions are mostly accurate.

@pablowasserman Aunque no estaba en el mundo cuando eso, mis padres me comentan que naranjito fue popular.

@Martinnn1899 @GiovanniPucce Turquía no merece pasar. Los dos partidos fueron pésimos, no han anotado un gol.

@AdofoAswad @Arvell8Reeses Look for the outfit, mannerism etc. Literally use a lot of stereotypes and statistically they tend to succes.

[Freddy 🇻🇪 @Freddy_VEN]

@Munchb0xx @kirawontmiss This is delusional. You need acknowledge how asymmetrical it is. If you get to piss him, could be invested into putting money on a nasty play against you. Better take your 40m and shut up.

[Freddy 🇻🇪 @Freddy_VEN]

@flowersslop @nypost Why would you think you deserve more? Isn't 40 million enough to basically solve your and yours children lives?

[Freddy 🇻🇪 @Freddy_VEN]

@rapaccious Y... diría que dependiendo de la demografía el béisbol va en segunda posición de preferencia y añádele el hockey, igual se entiende, siempre que veo esas odiosas conversaciones entre disciplinas en Venezuela (ya saben cuales) no hago más que pensar en casos como este.

Things you didn't know about Cuba:

It was never sanctions that wrecked Cuba, it was always their own government. Because of that, the government cut off tourism to prevent the citizens from learning how badly they were getting screwed.

The internet in Cuba is throttled: a local said you can load "3 Facebook pages per hour". It's also expensive. It cost ~$3/hour when I was there, and the average wage is $50/month. And, as another kick in the nuts, you can only use it outside in designated areas. Why only outside? So you can be reported to the government if people see you reading or saying anti-government things online.

Cancel culture is a governments way to punish thought crimes. Cuba takes it to the next level and rewards people for ratting out their fellow citizens. Cubans wouldn't even say anything bad about their government to us because they thought we could be spies.

You know when you tripped over something you weren't supposed to say when the Cuban starts repeating the propaganda. They're taught this script in school, and they all repeat it basically word for word: free healthcare, no homeless, etc. Obviously it's nonsense, but they have to say it or get disappeared.

"No homeless". How did Cuba achieve that? A local told us: "A 4 bedroom home is a 4 family home. They'll even put someone to live in the bathroom." The government just assigns someone to live in your building. And a shocking number of these "homes" are condemned buildings with no roofs or walls.

The food is trash because the ingredients are poor quality. Everyone is struggling to survive.

Cubans are superstitious. We booked a scuba dive, but it was cancelled due to clouds. They don't like the rain. I suspect it's a fear they'll get sick and die, because their "free" healthcare isn't available.

Everyone steals from everyone. People walk down the street seeing if cars are unlocked and looking through windows to see if there's something, anything, to steal. People steal from the government most of all. Neighborhoods are known for their black markets: car parts, office supplies, etc.

Imports are outrageously taxed. Car maker Peugeot is known as the "$200,000 lion", even though the car costs $15K in Europe. The Harry Potter books are $300 total, which is 6 months of salary for the average Cuban.

Because I know some retards will comment that it was US sanctions that wrecked Cuba, there are hourly flights from Miami and there have been for decades. Cuba remained closed by their own choice.

The beaches are the best in the Caribbean, but the infrastructure is awful. There's also nothing to do. We were there for a week and were bored. Cubans get "free" movies, so everyone goes to the movie theatre every weekend.

The museums are hilariously transparent propaganda. Everything bad in the country's history was done by the CIA. Rain? CIA. Pigs get sick? CIA. According to the government, no one left Cuba: it was all CIA kidnappings.

Cuba's main export: slavery. You get "free" college which you pay for by working abroad for 4-6 years. They mostly loan out nurses & mechanics. The Cuban government takes the wages earned. Claude says there are ~24,000 workers abroad, and it brings in $7B / yearly. Why don't the workers just stay abroad and not return? Because the Cuban government holds your family hostage. You'd be responsible for the death(s) of family.

Cuba got oil from Venezuela through a barter: doctors for oil. That's a no-no, you must use the petrodollar. This is why daddy orange took a sudden interest in Cuba. Iran, Venezuela, Russia, and Cuba were all buying & selling oil without using the dollar. This cleanly explains all of the military conflicts of the past few years. The US is holding the world at gunpoint to use it's product: USD.

And that brings us to why they're opening up: Cuba can't get oil from that barter system anymore. They're forced to make money. And what better way to get dollars than by opening up to the US and it's companies?

@rizzbolt A nice tit in the middle of nowhere to spend the rest of eternity unbothered by the rest of the world.

@eugyppius1 That guy Freddy hit the jackpot although I think it's something that happens to some few lucky ones.

@vicent_linares @Realgeopolitica Ciertamente. Aún les queda el beneficio de la duda. Es por esto que veo con cierta admiración lo que hace Australia en deportes.

[Freddy 🇻🇪 @Freddy_VEN]

@vicent_linares @Realgeopolitica Entraron en la década pasada, y con fuerza, crearon academias enormes, contrataron varios europeos, sobre todo españoles, para entrenarlos, pero aún así nada. El fútbol (y en general los deportes de conjunto) es más complejo que solo infraestructura.
