Why the mind rehearses arguments it never had and calls it closure.

Have you ever had an argument, then hours later found yourself replaying it and thinking of all the things you wish you'd said?

Here's the psychology behind it.

❗Zlatan Ibrahimović didn't hold back after England's win:
"For the first 45 minutes, it looked like England were playing with ten men. Every time Madueke got on the ball, he picked the wrong option.

And if the ball really hit the cable before England's opening goal, then that cable had a better game than Madueke." 😂

POV: You're watching Norway's game... then England and Argentina fans start fighting.

Why do English fans like fighting?
England fans have been involved in some of football's most notorious fan clashes over the years.

What's bro thinking?

Even my grandma would've gotten that ball to Haaland.

This angle of Sørloth ignoring Haaland. The reaction from Haaland says it all man. He was frustrated and disappointed, just like the rest of us.

🚨🗣️New: Erling Haaland on why England’s equalizer through Bellingham against Norway should not have stood:

“I don’t care how big the moment was, that goal should never have counted. The Laws of the Game are there for everyone. If the ball hits a camera cable and it changes the flight, that’s outside interference. Play stops. It’s a dropped ball. Simple.”

“Instead, England score, the whole momentum changes, and suddenly Norway are chasing a completely different game. Moments like that decide international tournaments.”

“Now imagine the exact same thing happened in a match involving Argentina and Messi. Be honest with yourselves, football wouldn’t hear the end of it. Every TV show, every podcast and every social media account would be calling it one of the biggest refereeing scandals of the tournament. But because it’s England, somehow people are expected to move on.”

“Consistency is all players ask for. Either the Laws apply every game, or they don’t.”

@GeronimoMorgans Haaland would have buried that ball right inside the net

5 WAYS TO SAY NO WITHOUT OVER-JUSTIFYING IT.

No is a complete sentence.
But here are five ways to say it without starting an argument.

This is what "life isn't fair" looks like.

His name was Tomasz Komenda.

He was convicted of the rape and murder of a 15 year old girl in Poland for a crime he never committed.

His sentence was increased to 25 years, and he spent 18 years in prison. Eighteen years of his life were taken from him.

New DNA evidence and a fresh investigation eventually proved his innocence, and he was finally exonerated and released.

He received compensation, but no amount of money can give someone back 18 years of freedom, family, and life.

Justice isn't only about punishing the guilty. It's also about making sure the innocent are never condemned.

@grok what's the hidden meaning in this image?

[The Jocular Drive @TheJocularDrive]

The higher you rise, the louder the hate gets. Some people resent what they'll never achieve.

Argentina e Messi são o país e a pessoa mais odiados do mundo atualmente.
