🚨Reporter- "Must have hurt losing after being 2-0 up?"
🗣️Mo Salah- "Well there's no shame in losing to the greatest player of all time, what he did today was incredible, he showed that he is still the best player in the world at 39. It was an honour to share the pitch with him"
Alvarez wins the ball first, Salah gets nutmegged, ball is behind him, clatters his foot onto Alvarez as Alvarez is progressing play. Not a foul in a million years. Referee got it spot on. 💯
It’s not FIFA that made Egypt concede 3 goals to Argentina in less than 15 minutes. The referee and VAR were spot on in this match.
Egypt were poor. It’s as simple as that.
Right now, most of the opinions are driven by emotion rather than logic—especially from Ronaldo fans, Egyptian supporters, and people simply chasing engagement.
The first incident involving Salah on the right is virtually identical to the one shown below on the left. There is simply not enough contact in either situation to justify a penalty.
The Molina incident had no real impact on the game. It happened near the halfway line, close to the touchline. At most, if the referee wanted to be extremely strict, it could have been a yellow card.
As for the last incident, there wasn't enough contact to award a penalty. We've seen much stronger challenges ignored in the Premier League, and even more obvious ones this World Cup that weren't given either.
What actually happened is easy to explain from a tactical perspective. Egypt's coach crowded Messi out in central areas. But once Scaloni brought on Lautaro Martínez, he occupied those central spaces, allowing Messi to drift to the right wing where he had much more freedom to create and attack the half-spaces. The result? One goal and one assist.
Egypt's substitutions also played a major role. Instead of protecting their lead and trying to take the game into extra time with a compact defensive block, they became too aggressive, pushed their defensive line higher, and left spaces behind. Argentina exploited those spaces, with Martínez assisting Enzo Fernández for the winning goal. On that final goal, the defender misread the situation after checking Enzo's position, stepped up too early, and was punished.
In short, Egypt had a solid tactical game plan, but they failed strategically. Above all, Messi's individual brilliance restored Argentina's belief long before the comeback was completed.
I hope this reaches those who genuinely want to understand football. As for the Ronaldo fanbase that spends its time crying, I honestly couldn't care less whether they understand it or not.
UN DENUNCIANTE DE LA MANSIÓN ADJUDICADA A TOVIGGINO FUE DEMORADO POR MIGRACIONES LUEGO DE UN PEDIDO DE TAPIA
Matías Yofe, dirigente de la Coalición Cívica y uno de los denunciantes de la mansión de Pilar vinculada al tesorero de la AFA Pablo Toviggino, fue demorado en el aeropuerto de Ezeiza al regresar de Estados Unidos. Una oficial de Migraciones lo llevó a una oficina para notificarlo de una presentación judicial realizada por el abogado Gregorio Dalbón, que reclama multas de un millón de pesos por haber hablado en un foro en Miami sobre los presuntos desmanejos en la AFA, lo que según la defensa de Toviggino violó una medida cautelar vigente.
Testimonios de Yofe
"Como no se pueden defender en sus causas, usan a los amigos para cansar a quienes investigamos y denunciamos la mugre. No me voy a cansar de decirlo, la diferencia entre Tapia y nosotros es moral, el se escuda detrás de quienes nos dan las alegrías más grandes y nosotros solo denunciamos e investigamos"
"Chiqui, si sos inocente, demostralo, no nos vamos a cansar, la victoria es el camino".

@pbarbieri Pier, no es chicana sino duda genuina: que tendría que pasar para que la gente pueda experimentar en forma clara los beneficios de las acciones del gobierno actual? Cuánto puede faltar?
🇦🇷🚨 #AHORA | La Argentina amplió el operativo de asistencia en Venezuela: envió más rescatistas y 16 toneladas de ayuda humanitaria.
La misión, coordinada por la Agencia Federal de Emergencias, incluye insumos médicos, alimentos, especialistas en sanidad y salud mental, personal veterinario y cuatro binomios caninos para reforzar las tareas de búsqueda y rescate en las zonas afectadas por los terremotos.
🚨🎙️ Pierluigi Collina ( Chairman FIFA referees committee) on comparisons between Messi’s challenge and Balogun’s:
“Messi’s challenge was never one that should be considered a red card. It was unintentional, and he didn’t leave his foot on the opponent’s ankle after the contact.
Balogun’s incident is completely different. The way the player’s ankle twisted was very dangerous. If I had been the referee, I would have shown a red card.
Unfortunately, many fans don’t understand these distinctions and will continue bringing up Messi’s incident purely for clicks and engagement because it’s Messi.”
🇭🇷 Croatia got eliminated from the World Cup by a closed-source sensor.
FIFA says the Kinexon chip in the Trionda "proved" Matanović touched the ball. Absolute disgrace. What actually happened: they ran signal processing over 500Hz IMU data from a 14-gram sensor and isolated a supposed contact spike from thousands of noisy samples dominated by bladder harmonics, panel flex, spin wobble and stadium micro-tremors, then nullified one of the most dramatic World Cup equalizers in history via spectral analysis of what is essentially glorified noise.
Oh, and it gets better. They moved the chip this year. Back in 2022, it used to hang suspended in the center of the ball. Now it's glued into the sidewall of ONE panel, with counterweights stuffed into the other three so the ball doesn't fly like a shopping cart. So sensitivity now depends on which side of the ball the "contact" happens relative to the sensor. Totally fine basis for ending a nation's tournament.
An IMU measures acceleration. Somewhere in a proprietary pipeline, a threshold decides which acceleration counts as "touch." That threshold is unpublished. The false positive rate is unpublished. The calibration data is unpublished. The patents are literally still in their secrecy window. And FIFA owns the raw data, so nobody can independently audit the trace that ended Modrić's last World Cup.
And we're all supposed to accept a "heartbeat graphic" on the broadcast as if that settles anything.
Since we sadly all know you won't ever admit your crimes or remove this technology for good, at least open source the detection pipeline, @FIFAcom!
Publish the thresholds, the error rates, the raw IMU trace from last night. If the tech is right, transparency costs nothing, right?
🚨 The SSPX leaders should have told the truth when the liturgy asked for the papal mandate by saying:
“No, we don't have an apostolic mandate. We are doing this against the expressed will of Pope Leo because we are right and he is wrong.”
Instead, they read from a rolled parchment with a red ribbon, as if it were a papal ecclesial decree from
Rome.
There is now a massive wave of disapproval from Catholics who would otherwise be sympathetic to the SSPX, because this “pseudo-mandate” comes off as a dishonest stunt performed during the liturgy. This liturgical innovation is clearly “not traditional.”
Urgent earthquake response in Venezuela:
This morning, U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Kevin J. Jarrard and the #SOUTHCOM team on the ground in Venezuela are coordinating with the @StateDept, as well as Venezuelan, Argentine, and Chilean response leaders, to deploy teams to rescue sites.
The @DeptofWar is supporting State Department-led U.S. government relief operations in Venezuela following the devastating earthquakes that struck the nation on June 24, 2026. @SecWar@WHAAsstSecty@usembassyve@USForeignAssist@USAenEspanol
