This video of a Ghanaian pastor who was repatriated will never trend because he’s telling the truth about the situation in South Africa… this man has earned my respect it’s just that he’s gone but he deserved 2 cows 🤣🤣🤣
It was NEVER about the rules.
It was ALWAYS about who lifted the trophy. 🏆
🇫🇷 France 2018
• 14 goals
• 4 penalties
• Penalty in the final
• 2 own goals from opponents (1 in the final)
• 0 penalties conceded
🇦🇷 Argentina 2022
• 15 goals
• 4 penalties
• Penalty in the final
• 0 opponent own goals
• 2 penalties conceded (both in the final)
The hypocrisy:
France wins → football heritage
Argentina wins →stolen and rigged for Messi
Same rules. Same game.
Different champions.
Different narratives. 🐐
In 2012, Chelsea finished sixth in England and fired their manager in March. They still won the Champions League, the biggest prize in club football. The team that finished first in England that year, Manchester City, did not even make it out of the group stage.
Guardiola is pointing at exactly that gap. A league title takes 38 games against everyone else, home and away, over nine months. You cannot win it by accident. The Champions League trophy comes down to a handful of knockout games in spring. Football is a low-scoring sport, so one goal can decide who advances. Over a single match, the score barely tells you which team was better. Your best player limps off in April, a referee waves away a clear penalty, a shootout goes against you, and nine months of work disappears. Chelsea won that 2012 final on penalties, in Bayern Munich's own stadium, while sitting sixth in their own country.
His own career says the same thing. Across Spain, Germany, and England, Guardiola has won the league title twelve times. He has won the Champions League three times, and twelve years passed between his second and his third. For most of that stretch he had the best team in Europe and still went home early, beaten by the same thing he is describing.
Barcelona under Hansi Flick is the latest example. They have won the Spanish league two years running and won every major trophy in Spain the season before. Then Inter knocked them out of Europe, 7-6 across two games. The next year they lost to an Atletico Madrid side sitting twenty-two points beneath them in the league. Over a full season, Barcelona were clearly the better team. Over two nights, they lost.
A league title means you were the best team in the country for nine months. A Champions League run means you got through a few nights in spring without anything going wrong. Guardiola is asking people not to confuse the two.
