Not only does Argentina assault whoever they’re playing repeatedly, they run to the referee and throw a fit and play act every time they’re lightly touched by the other team. Just horrific to watch and it’s really a shame that they’ve been enabled like this.
WE paid the tariffs but the businesses get the refunds. As long as I live, I’ll never understand why millions of Americans voted to get fucked over by this child-raping piece of shit.
Never forget: Argentina was never supposed to be in that group. During the World Cup draw, they were initially placed in Group I, not Group J.
Then, right in the middle of the live worldwide broadcast, it was changed without any clear explanation.
People are still expected to pretend nothing happened.
Lindsey Graham was an imperialist warmonger who supported every major US military intervention during his career. He did not care about humanity, or international law, or even US citizens. He served the interests of the US capitalist class and the US proxy regime of Israel.
Si eres mexicano y ya no sabes a qué equipo apoyar en el mundial, recuerda que también eres latino, y por lo tanto debes apoyar a nuestro último país latinoamericano, Noruega. 🇳🇴
"How can you be playing in southern California and there are no Latino kids? There is something weird going on. US soccer is gatekeeping. The best kids we have are not getting through." @KevinFrazier
The most successful trick the elites ever pulled was making "Poor" a personality flaw instead of a systemic result. We live in a world where a guy who inherited $100M calls a teacher "lazy" because they can't afford rent. And half of you believe him.
Thierry and Zlatan saying they wouldn't have become soccer players because of the costs of the American youth system, then seeing Lalas say it's a great system because it makes a lot of money for some people really sums it all up nicely
Last year, Microsoft made $101 billion in profits, got a $12.5 billion tax break from Trump & paid its CEO $96 million.
This year, it’s raising the price of an Xbox by $150 & eliminating 3,200 jobs.
Please don’t tell me corporate tax breaks create jobs. It never trickles down.
Flew into Mexico City from DC last night and I’m already clocking the shift in energy.
I left my England shirt in the bag for this flight despite wearing it loud and proud on every single one before now without any second thoughts.
But here? The Mexico fan vibe isn’t reading as normal rivalry. It’s heavier and meaner. It’s not banter; there’s no playfulness about it. There’s actual aggression in it, and underneath that, something colder and almost unhinged.
Walked a few blocks around the hotel in my England shirt this morning and got called “puta gringa” - white whore, basically. The whole atmosphere is steeped in this hostility.
Police have shut roads down, running checkpoints, confiscating glass bottles like they’re expecting things to pop off. Riot vibes. I’ve traveled everywhere in this shirt and never once felt this on edge.
It feels like it’s more than “just football” at stake here. I hope that I’m reading it all wrong, that it’s just pre-match noise that burns off once the final whistle blows and everyone goes home.
