Choose your allies wisely.
Some give you physical infrastructure, mass transit technology, and the possibility of a better life for your children in their own country.
Others give you Powerpoint NGOs, social media skit contests and 96% visa refusal.
Whoever the shoe fits...
Recuerdo cuando en el Países Bajos vs Argentina de 2022, Messi debió ser expulsado por aquella mano que cortó un contraataque rival.
Faitelson salió a justificarlo diciendo que no podían echar a Messi, porque sería “un atentado contra el juego”; que cómo se le iba a pedir al árbitro privarnos de ver al “mejor futbolista del mundo”, y que jugadores como Messi deberían jugar con un reglamento aparte.
Pues sí… efectivamente juega con un reglamento aparte.
Y como Faitelson hay muchos periodistas deportivos que le han hecho un daño enorme al futbol. Ya no analizan, ya no cuestionan, ya no incomodan: son porristas de un jugador, de una selección y de una narrativa.
Se pavonean cuando su favorito disfruta privilegios arbitrales y mediáticos.
That is precisely why a country going through a socioeconomic transition needs stiff, firm, authoritarian, nationalist bastards as its leadership - not "democratically elected" people who are subject to votes from these miserable idiots who go digging for gold on an expressway.
Lee Kuan Yew told us decades ago that when his government built high rise apartments to take poor Singaporeans out of bamboo shacks, they deliberately began peeing in the elevators and taking countermeasures against the government's attempts to stop them from messing up their own infrastructure. They had to humiliate and punish people brutally before they started acting in ways that were beneficial to their own lives.
If you want to uplift poor, colonised people, you will have to do it AGAINST THEIR WILL. Colonised people are not sane and a revolutionary must not pretend that he is up against sane, rational people who want a better life. A colonised man will steal expensive paint and empty it out into a river so that he can sell the plastic buckets and use the peanuts to play BetPesa. He will dig up his country's first high speed motorway that is going to add hundreds of millions of dollars to everyone's collective pocket, so that he can find gold nuggets and sell them for $650. He will vandalise railway lines that are meant to improve his own life so that he can sell the metal to a scrap dealer and use it to buy some pussy that night.
Colonised people are among the biggest dangers to themselves and the countries they inhabit, and any leader wishing to improve his country's material conditions despite the presence of millions of colonised people who are out of their natural minds, must be prepared to go the Stalin, Mao and Lee Kuan Yew way. Re-education camps, public flogging and forced labour so offenders can repay their debt to society.
China was once burdened with millions of useless idiots like this, but deliberate state policy removed them from the census and transformed China into the world's most successful civilisation. Hard decisions must be made in pursuit of development.
Argentina corruption in the World Cup goes back decades!
In 1978, Johann Cruyff and his family was kidnapped just a few days before the World Cup final between Holland and Argentina.
Argentina went on to win their first World Cup, beating Holland 3-1
The only assist he did get at the world cup, Ronaldo had to tell him to run, show him where he's going to run and tell him where to pass the ball
Else he'd prolly have crossed the ball into the crowd when that run was made
Not enough people remember this. Infantino hand selected Inter Miami to participate in the Club World Cup. Not the MLS champions, but Inter Miami.
They’re the only team that didn’t have to qualify
This is Nevo Nadalski.
He is one of the main people organising attacks against the Palestinian village of Umm al-Kheir. He is the military coordinator of Carmel settlement. He is present at every attack against Palestinians in the area.
Make him famous.
A mão do Maradona em 86 é glorificada como “Mano de Diós”.
A manipulação em 78 que tira o Brasil da final e os põe no lugar é admitido tanto por ex-jogadores argentinos quanto por entreguistas peruanos.
Doparam o Brasil em 90! Tudo confessado e motivo de piada na TV até hoje.
Então, sim, eles se orgulham. A essência deles é essa.
Messi es el Lance Armstrong del futbol. Sus mayores títulos están manchados. Sus campeonatos con el Barca están salpicados por el caso Negreira. La FIFA lo encaminó a ganar el Mundial de Qatar con varios penales inventados. Y las ayudas a Argentina en este Mundial rayan en lo grotesco.
