5 hour debate lol

[Madrid Zone @theMadridZone]

🚨 BREAKING: After FIVE hours of debate, Paraguay’s Senate passed a majority vote motion condemning senator Celeste Amarilla’s racist remarks about Kylian Mbappé and rejecting all forms of racism & discrimination.

The Senate also said that Amarilla’s comments do NOT represent the position of the Paraguay National Chamber.

[Matt_Murphy @Matt_Murphy5]

Hilarious how she spent some time in France so she thinks she knows more about them than an actual Frenchman

[The Touchline | 𝐓 @TouchlineX]

🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla has continued her criticism of Kylian Mbappé:

"Greeting people is part of who we are in Paraguay. Saying hello, wishing people a good day, asking for a blessing... that's our culture.

What made us all angry was seeing Orlando Gill, a young player, proudly offer Mbappé his hand in true Paraguayan humility, only for him to ignore it and shout at him.

A French person would never have done that. Never. Never."

Paraguay really doing a masterclass in PR

SENADORA YOLANDA PAREDES TILDÓ DE MISERABLE A KYLIAN MBAPPÉ |

📍 Durante la sesión en la Cámara de Senadores, la legisladora de Cruzada Nacional calificó al futbolista francés de miserable y que no mostró sencillez.

🔺 "Se desesperó porque no pudo meter un gol", señaló al resaltar la actuación de los jugadores de la Selección Paraguaya durante el partido en octavos de final.

🗣️ "Si no fue capaz de elaborar un gol y meter un gol, no me vengan después con tuit, condenando a una ciudadana paraguaya por la inutilidad del mismo dentro de la cancha", añadió para finalizar que Paraguay no es inferior a Francia.

Lmao Paraguay can’t extradite shit

[The Touchline | 𝐓 @TouchlineX]

🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Celeste Amarilla's lawyer, Guillermo Duarte, on the Kylian Mbappé case:

"Celeste did not commit any punishable offence in Paraguay.

Since what we consider defamation or slander is also a criminal offence in France, we can take legal action against Mbappé.

He could be extradited to answer for his actions in Paraguay."

The Atlantic’s new cover story on the decline of reading features a Harvard student who complained that he had to read a book written in "Old English."

Now, you might be thinking that he was assigned Beowulf or The Canterbury Tales.

Nope.

This student was assigned A Clockwork Orange—and used ChatGPT to “translate” it.

A Clockwork Orange was written in 1962 (not 1692, which is still modern English, by the way). This student’s grandparents were alive in the 60s. Is he also using a translation bot to speak to them?

Yes, I had an easier time than most people with the novel's Nadsat slang because I speak Russian, but you catch on very quickly if you turn on more than two brain cells—and the entire point is to compel you to inhabit Alex’s deranged mind, which is cool!

For the first time in my life, I feel bad for Alex from A Clockwork Orange for being so misunderstood.

The entire globe rejoiced yesterday when Belgium eliminated the United States from the World Cup in a decisive 4-1 match.

For spectators from Canada to Europe, this monumental game was never just about a simple soccer tournament.

Instead, it served as a global reality check against a brand built entirely on arrogance and historical entitlement.
For the past two years, the international community has watched the United States treat the rest of the world with a distinct lack of mutual respect. In the sports arena, this attitude manifested through controversial backroom political maneuvers, such as pushing FIFA to bypass a mandatory red-card suspension just to keep American striker Folarin Balogun on the pitch.

The shockwaves from this choice unified global fans against American entitlement. This blatant disregard for fair play completely destroyed any remaining respect for the American team's brand.

On the field, Belgium's squad exposed the home team's hubris. Charles De Ketelaere shredded the American defense with two early goals, showing that rules cannot be rewritten to bypass talent. Later, Hans Vanaken and Romelu Lukaku added goals to seal a well-deserved defeat.
Even for those who do not typically follow soccer, yesterday’s match became the most anticipated event of the summer.

Watching Belgium methodically dismantle the American defense was not just a sports victory; it felt like a necessary correction on the global stage.

When a nation treats the entyglobal community as inferior, the world will collectively line up to watch them fall.

Yesterday, the entire world tuned in to see the United States lose, and we got our wish.

So how bad is Australia then?

[Stiff FC @Stiff_FC]

So the USA World Cup saga ends there… 🇺🇸

Nothing but arrogance, political interference, corruption, and a hilariously mediocre team. Pathetic.

This was the USA’s golden generation apparently… I thought they were good enough to win the World Cup???

Tough day to be American.

[Matt_Murphy @Matt_Murphy5]

Lmao that might be more insane than the original statement

🚨🗣️ 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Paraguayan politician Celeste Amarilla has responded to Kylian Mbappé:

“YES, my post against Kylian Mbappé was racist.

That's why I deleted it, and it was unfortunate.

However, I will NOT apologize, I said what I had to say.

I come from a society where gays were beaten and where calling someone a sh*tty n*gger was the most common thing.

I come from that generation, so now I'm trying to build a different Celeste Amarilla, that's capable of co-existing with others.

Have patience, I'm trying."

[Matt_Murphy @Matt_Murphy5]

Lol

[Madrid Zone @theMadridZone]

🚨 Celeste Amarilla: "Tell Mbappé to read my open letter, if he knows how to read.

Tell him DO NOT MESS with Paraguayans, we already put Ronaldinho in JAIL.

Tell him I can file a lawsuit against him for what he said.

I repeat, DON'T underestimate me and don't mess with Paraguayans.

I will SUE you for gender-based VIOLENCE. I will SUE you for political violence against WOMEN.

THIS IS VERY SERIOUS."

[Matt_Murphy @Matt_Murphy5]

They were not favorites. Lmao what

[Eliot Shorr-Parks @EliotShorrParks]

USA straight up choked in that game

They were favorites.
They have a team worth 300m+
They were at home

This wasn’t Davis vs Goliath. Belgium didn’t have way more talent.

USA and its best players were just rattled and didn’t show up in a huge game

[Matt_Murphy @Matt_Murphy5]

Lol

[lilly🇧🇦 @cinderellanobey]

we bosnians stand with belgium 🇧🇪

our bosnian players rightfully earned that red card for you. now get it back!

GO BELGIUM 🇧🇪🇧🇦

[Matt_Murphy @Matt_Murphy5]

Lol

[shoeluvvr @shoeluvvr]

If the US men's soccer team were smart, they would not let Balogun play tonight, regardless of Trump's interference to get his red card lifted. Otherwise no matter how well they play, it won't be acknowledged.

[Matt_Murphy @Matt_Murphy5]

Lol

[Kyle Porter @KylePorterNS]

If you are significantly aggrieved by this supposedly crooked FIFA-Balogun ruling, then you better also have receipts of similar thoughts, tweets and claims toward the Augusta National Golf Club when it allowed Tiger Woods to play the weekend in 2013.

So England should as well?

[Derek Clark @derekclarksport]

Whether the appeal is successful or not, the outcome should be a bye for Belgium with the USA disqualified for political interference.
