Tomense un momento para leer la declaración del DT de Argelia, rendido a los pies de Messi, pero con conceptos que no suelen escucharse.
🗣️ Vladimir Petković:
“Llegamos a este partido con un plan, con disciplina y con convicción... pero a veces el fútbol te pone enfrente a un jugador capaz de destruir la mejor preparación con un solo toque de pelota.”
“Lo que produjo Lionel Messi esta noche no fue solamente una gran actuación; fue una clase de fútbol dictada por una de las mentes y talentos más grandes que haya visto este deporte.”
“Les decís a tus jugadores que se mantengan compactos, concentrados, que no le den espacios... y aun así encuentra la forma de crear magia donde no debería existir.”
“Lo más frustrante es que podés hacer muchas cosas bien en defensa y aun así terminar sufriendo, porque ve pases, movimientos y oportunidades que nadie más en la cancha es capaz de ver.”
“A los 38 años, la mayoría de los futbolistas hablan de retirarse, administrar minutos o bajar el ritmo. Messi sigue definiendo partidos de Mundial, rompiendo récords y haciendo que defensores de élite parezcan impotentes.”
“Miré a mi banco después de su tercer gol y había una sensación de incredulidad en todos. No porque estuviéramos perdiendo, sino porque estábamos presenciando algo especial que quizás no vuelva a repetirse.”
“La gente hablará del hat-trick, de los récords y de las estadísticas, pero lo que más me impresionó fue la autoridad. Controló el partido como si el juego se moviera a la velocidad que él decidía.”
“Me tocó enfrentar a grandes jugadores a lo largo de mi carrera, pero esta noche fue diferente. Esta noche se sintió como si la historia del fútbol se hubiera detenido durante noventa minutos para recordarle al mundo exactamente quién es Lionel Messi.”
Lionel Messi on Erling Haaland’s Snapchat post calling him “a madman” after the Algeria game:
🗣️ “I saw Haaland’s post after the match, and honestly it made me laugh because coming from a player like him, it means a lot.”
“Erling is one of the best strikers in the world, one of the most feared forwards in football today, so to see him react like that was special.”
“But if anyone is a madman, maybe it's him. Scoring goals the way he does for club and country is something defenders have nightmares about.”
“I've always enjoyed watching players with that kind of hunger and mentality, and Haaland has both in abundance.”
“The truth is, nights like these only happen because of my teammates. They made everything easier for me and put me in positions where I could help the team.”
“When you score a hat-trick at a World Cup, people talk about records and statistics, but for me the most important thing will always be winning and representing Argentina.”
“I have a lot of respect for Haaland because he is writing his own history and inspiring a new generation of players around the world.”
“And if Erling thinks I'm a madman, then maybe football is lucky enough to have two of us.”
During the dot-com boom, many investors rotated out of established companies like Berkshire Hathaway to chase high-growth tech stocks, a shift driven by cognitive biases and FOMO rather than fundamental analysis.
Mohnish Pabrai examines the behavioral patterns that lead investors to abandon undervalued assets during periods of underperformance and chase momentum in overvalued sectors. He explores how recognizing these psychological patterns can help you maintain conviction in quality holdings and avoid expensive mistakes.
Thierry Henry on Lionel Messi becoming the oldest player ever to score a World Cup hat-trick and the player with the most goals from outside the box in World Cup history:
🗣️ “I honestly don't know what more there is left to say about Lionel Messi anymore. Every time you think he has reached the top of the mountain, he somehow finds another peak that nobody else has ever climbed before.”
“The oldest player to score a World Cup hat-trick. Just stop and think about that for a second. At an age when most players are retired, coaching, or sitting in television studios, Messi is still breaking records on the biggest stage in football.”
“And it's not just the hat-trick that amazes me. He now has more World Cup goals from outside the box than anyone in history. That tells you everything about the level of technique, vision, and confidence we are talking about.”
“These are not lucky goals. These are moments of genius. The type of goals where everyone in the stadium knows what he wants to do, but nobody can stop him from doing it anyway.”
“What makes this even more incredible is that this is his sixth World Cup. Six World Cups. Different generations, different teammates, different opponents, yet the same outcome every single time Lionel Messi deciding matches.”
“People always ask what makes certain players special. Well, special players break records. Legends create records. Messi is doing both at the same time while carrying the expectations of an entire nation.”
“I've played against some of the greatest footballers in history, I've watched some of the greatest footballers in history, but what Messi continues to do at 38 years old simply doesn't make sense.”
“This is no longer about talent. This is no longer about numbers. This is football history unfolding right before our eyes, and every single match feels like another chapter in a story that nobody thought was possible.”
I hope everyone understands that the $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran will go to Trump-aligned contractors who will give a cut to the big guy, pocket the rest, and build nothing. The Iran war was another massive Trump grift.
Tony Robbins: iPhone has ran for 18 - 19 years. If you got an iPhone each time, you spend $22,000 and some change at retail price... But if you bought Apple stock, same amount of money on the stock you’d be up $326,000 instead of being out $22,000

Remember the $TSLA will “grow 50% annually for the foreseeable future” comments in 2022? And that it would deliver 20 million cars by 2030?
2025 actuals:
- Revenue DOWN 3%
- Deliveries of 1.6M, DOWN 8%
2026 doesn’t appear to be much better. No new roadster demo (as was promised most recently for April and then silence), no semi still, super slow Robotaxi rollout, -0- Optimus deliveries, and even the energy business growth has slowed. Tesla proponents were expecting 2026 to be “the year” when Robotaxis and Optimus would add meaningful revenue. Robotaxi and Optimus appear as though they will be 0% of 2026 Tesla revenues.
Now it’s “pump $SPCX” time. “$1 trillion in revenue by 2030.” Cool! Why was Q1 2026 growth just 15%? Why is Twitter revenue down 40% since acquisition? Why does XAI’s main source of revenue come from renting data centers it made for its own use?
I say this as someone who believes SpaceX will achieve a trillion dollars in revenues, some day, but it’s just not gonna happen in 4 years! 10-15, maybe! That’s a big delta.
SpaceX investors who might be new to “Elon time” and the huge number of Elon promises that he simply abandons over time, should keep this in mind.
Starship was supposed to put humans on mars by 2020, “2022 at the latest.” We’re no longer even talking about Mars anymore! And 6 years later, Starship still hasn’t had a successful flight.
And one thing that’s made it more difficult for him to achieve any of these goals is that he’s eliminated access to AT LEAST 1/2 of the talent pool with his hyper-criticism of anyone who disagrees with his politics, often painting those people as wanting to end civilization.
I happen to agree with a lot of Elon’s political views, but if I didn’t, I certainly wouldn’t want to go work for someone who thought my views were intended to end humanity. This is the equivalent of shooting yourself in the foot.
To some, it might seem wrong to criticize Elon, who is one of the most accomplished humans in history. His vision and drive have brought so much to life that was often thought to be impossible.
To me, despite Elon’s accomplishments, it would be wrong to avoid criticizing someone, no matter what they did or said. His constant pumping of stock, completely irresponsible public timelines, and the never ending new promises of what his companies will do, but without realistic timeframes, and abandoning past promises with no explanation, are all worthy of criticism.
Nobody should be beyond reproach!

Graham Hancock just dropped a devastating blow to mainstream archaeology with the Great Pyramid of Giza.
“It’s a 6 million ton monument… more than 2 million individual blocks of stone.”
“The Great Pyramid is aligned within 3/60ths of a single degree to true north… on a 6 million ton monument.”
“It sits almost exactly on latitude 30 which is 1/3rd of the way between the north pole and the equator.”
“And it incorporates the dimensions of the earth on a scale of 1 to 43,200 in its own dimensions.”
“So if you take the height of the Great Pyramid and multiply it by 43,200… you get the polar radius of the earth. Measure the base perimeter of the Great Pyramid… multiply it by the same factor, 43,200, and you get the equatorial circumference of the Earth.”
“Archaeologists know this. They say it’s a coincidence, total coincidence, just by chance.”
“However, I could agree with them actually if the scale was not 1 to 43,200. But the fact that it’s 1 to 43,200 changes everything because that belongs to a sequence of numbers that is found in ancient mythology all around the world… multiples of the number 72… derive from… the precession of the equinoxes.”
After Japan battled the Netherlands to a 2-2 draw, the Japanese fans stayed behind and cleaned up every single piece of trash from their section at Dallas Stadium after the game.
