Gorda se viene el fin de la humanidad si no cambiamos el sistema económico

[Borzou Daragahi 🖊🗒 @borzou]

There’s a parallel between Europe’s attitudes toward FIFA and US foreign policy.

As long as the US was attacking Venezuela, blockading Cuba, or killing Iranian schoolgirls, countries like Belgium were cool with it. As soon as Trump started menacing Greenland and Ukraine, they got all indignant about a rules-based order.

When the US was discriminating against Iranian and Iraqi footballers and Somali referees, Belgium were cool with it. Now that they’re the victims of US bullying, they’re whining about “the rules.”

They deserve zero sympathy.

Amigo si vamos a prohíbir a cada réferi que venga de un país que ustedes bombardearon va a quedar arbitrando jd vance

[EL14S @Temp14rio]

El tema Trump deja claro que EEUU corrompe todo con un accionar mafioso. La FIFA nunca fue limpia, pero siempre existió el concepto "lo que pasa en la cancha queda en la cancha". Pochetino y sus jugadores aceptaron indignos que su papá hable por ellos, mancharon la pelota

[Ariana Jasmine @arianajasmine__]

So let me get this straight: FIFA won’t intervene when Iran is forced to relocate to Mexico/treated like shit, but they’ll break their own rules to reinstate a U.S. player because Trump told them to?

[Magi 💚 @Maggda2324]

El punto es que es una roja correcta, si no es que se la sacaron, hicieron una excepción de no jugar ahora y la va a servir en la próxima fecha fija.

Y por eso nos estamos quejando .

Totalmente intervenida la FIFA por usa (volve bateler)

The most interesting part of the red card saga isn't the ruling. It's how differently Americans and Europeans process the idea that they might have been wronged.

Europeans are fundamentally different from Americans in one particular way: they expect life to be aggravating and at times unfair. It's just a fact of moving through the world. I joke that in Europe, the customer is always wrong. You didn't read the fine print. The only pharmacy in town is closed every other Tuesday for three hours, and even if the times weren't posted, that's still your problem. Too bad if you want the bill, because the waiter's on his union-mandated half-hour smoke break, and you're just going to have to wait.

To quote the great Mark Knopfler: sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. There's something freeing in that. Things are less in your control, so there's less angst in managing your expectations.

In America, things couldn't be more different. We simply can't accept a wrong left unrighted.

The flight attendant sneezed handing you a drink on your one-hour flight? 15,000 frequent flyer miles. Didn't like your appetizer? A replacement is on the way, and the whole course comes off the bill. There's a reason our interstates are lined with trial lawyer billboards.

Europeans have turned complaining into a continental pastime with no expectation that the universe owes them a remedy for their grief. You gripe about the train being late, your friends nod solemnly and everyone goes back to their apéro. In America, we launch a full-blown investigation of the train system, sue the government (and its contractors) that allowed for the tardiness and hold a Congressional hearing on the state of national infrastructure.

So to an objective observer, the red card shouldn't have happened, and VAR was a travesty. To Americans, our star player shouldn't be unfairly banned from a match we couldn't afford to lose for a card he so obviously didn't deserve.

Who cares that FIFA used a little-used reversal to fix it. Who cares that other people are mad about it. We. Were. Wronged. It was unjust. It must be corrected. We would accept nothing less.

Europeans waxing poetic about the sanctity of the game are, of course, talking about a governing body whose last tournament host was decided via confirmed cash bribes — one that imposed dress codes on women, shrugged off widespread allegations of modern slavery and reconfigured the entire tournament calendar to suit the host country. Which is exactly the point. If you've made peace with all of that, at least enough to watch the tournament four years later, a probationary suspension isn't actually a scandal.

Maybe that's the real divide. Over millennia, Europeans have made peace with being the bug. Americans have never once considered it, and apparently, we're not about to start now.

[Louis Ostrowski @ostrl]

How has this myth that the VAR only showed the Balogun foul in slow motion been allowed to persist?

We saw the referee watch it in multiple times in full speed during the broadcast

🚨⛔️✅Hoy Luis Caputo anunció la privatización de AYSA(agua potable), Nucleoeléctrica, todas las hidroeléctricas, todo el sistema ferroviario. Estan repitiendo lo que hicieron los milicos y el menemismo, terminan con nuestra soberanía mientras hacen sus negociados. ¿Qué votaste?.

This bloke has zero understanding of the the gravitas of what he’s just said. By the letter of the law according to FIFA, the USMNT should be removed from the WC and Infantino should be removed from position as president.

He’s actually stitched them all up.

Este gobierno bajó la inversión en el sistema científico a 0.14% del PBI, el valor más bajo del que se tenga registro. Están destruyendo el sector que más retorno sobre inversión le da al país

[Rosalía Costantino @colocostantino]

Privatizarán infraestrcutura estratégica de transporte y el sistema eléctrico para juntar solo 2300 millones de dólares (pagar dos meses de intereses) frente a más de 40 mil millones de dólares de deuda q hay que pagar entre 2026 y 2027.

Otra vez las peivatizaciones a precio vil, y de entidades como Aysa (agua) cuando las obras de cloacas y saneamiento son de gran embergadura e inversión q los privados nunca lo hacen (pasó con la privatización anterior de Aysa). …

I'll keep saying it: the wealthy commit more crimes than the poor and at a scale that renders crimes of survival insignificant. you're comparing petty shoplifting to crimes against humanity.

best way to eliminate crime is to eliminate the wealthy class & redistribute $$$

[‏ً @omgsidewalks]

You reduce crime by eliminating poverty. Crime is reduced with universal healthcare, public housing, livable wages, and free college. Violence is reduced by creating happy, healthy communities that aren't constantly fighting over basic needs and material resources.
