@PurpGoldLakers Guess throwing off an agency in control would literally get other agencies to come?

Some lyrics are dangerous😱

“I have more Laliga titles Ronaldo”
“I have more World cups than Ronaldo”
“I won the World Cup at age 19”
“I’m bigger than the Portugal national team”

Je n’ai jamais vu Di Maria porter l’Argentine sans Messi. D’ailleurs la seule fois où Messi a fait une pause avec l’Argentine, ces cons ont faillit ne pas se qualifier pour une CDM mdrr

Il a fallut qu’il revienne et mette un triplé la dernière journée pour les envoyer en CDM

Dejadme decir una cosa sobre Argentina

Se han convertido en el villano de película perfecto, en el mundo anglosajón y en otras culturas. Y yo lo que veo es una nación que, sobre el campo, hace todo lo posible por ganar. De hecho, defendieron de maravilla contra España, ya fuera cuando se presentaron uno contra uno, o cuando se atrincheraron en su área. Pero no les dimos el balón, con lo que no nos pudieron atacar o crear las condiciones necesarias para que Messi destacara.

Llegar a la final del mundial con un equipo que no era el mejor tiene un mérito enorme, aunque a menudo se acentuaron las características menos atractivas de una selección que tiene mil registros para ganar. Es una selección ganadora, y hay mucho de envidia en la reacción internacional.

Pero me da la impresión de que en Argentina el fútbol se vive como una sola posibilidad: victoria. La derrota es culpa de alguien (como se dice en la canción, os robaron la del 90). Victoria o desastre.

Y eso explica (pero nunca debería justificar) el comportamiento de algunos jugadores argentinos al final del partido. 

Tampoco estuvo bien darle la espalda al campeón. Por lo que vi, solo Messi se giró a ver cómo levantaban la copa. En el deporte hay que respetar la derrota (usarla para crecer), pero entiendo que debe ser difícil tener la pasión que se siente por la selección y seguir todos los códigos del deporte al considerar la victoria mucho más que un triunfo deportivo.

De nuevo, yo me quedo con el faro que es Messi que suele dar siempre la pista buena de cómo se un gran deportista.

Veo que a Samuel Jackson preocupa el racismo en Argentina y le gusta jugar con la diáspora africana para la tribuna. Sería una buena oportunidad para recordarle como apoyó, a lo largo de su vida, a distintas gestiones demócratas que bombardearon África, desde Bill Clinton bombardeando una fábrica de aspirinas en Sudán 🇸🇩 (uno de los países más pobres del mundo) hasta la de Obama, el 'Premio Nobel de la paz', que fue cabeza, junto a Francia y Reino Unido, del desastre de Libia 🇱🇾 que llevó/lleva a miles de africanos a morir, año tras año, en manos de yihadistas o intentando cruzar el Mediterráneo.

Este Mundial del Fútbol demuestró lo fácil y accesible que es manipular a la gente con propaganda masiva y desinformación. 🫠

[Cihan Tugal @CihanTugal]

This piece says Europe=method, "the rest of the world"=madness
For weeks, the world just didn’t understand this obvious subtext: what the promoters of hate were saying about Argentina was really a stand-in for what they think about the entire non-West.
Thanks to the New Yorker, the subtext is now out in the open.

[MATTY 🫀 @fromtheheartza]

Casuals don’t even know why they hate Messi. It’s the narrative man.

#2026WorldCup Final:

The widespread belief that Argentina represents Israel and Spain represents Palestine is wrong and does not reflect reality.

Spain, as a whole, does not support Palestine. This support does not exist at the team level; rather, it comes more from the individual positions of certain players (such as Lamine Yamal and Borja Iglesias).

The majority of Spanish supporters are not left-wing either. On the contrary, racist circles in Spain can use the national team as a tool against players of immigrant backgrounds. Muslim and immigrant-origin footballers in particular are frequently targeted. This reality is often overlooked because the country's prime minister has shown solidarity with Palestine.

During the tournament, racist circles in Spain repeatedly targeted Lamine Yamal through social media posts and public statements.

The perception of Spain as an extremely left-wing country among the global public is largely influenced by the strong Palestine solidarity movements and left-wing communities in regions such as Euskal Herria, Catalonia, Galicia, and Andalusia. However, a significant portion of the pro-Palestinian population in these regions does not support the Spanish National Team; they advocate for their own national identities and national teams.

Argentina, too, does not support Israel institutionally or at the national team level.

The country's far-right president, Javier Milei, is an open supporter of Israel. zionist circles use this fact to create the impression that there is some deep-rooted and societal alliance between Argentina and Israel.

In reality, there is no strong public support in Argentina for Israel's attacks on Gaza. On the contrary, massive demonstrations in solidarity with Palestine have taken place across the country.

Lionel Messi is not an open supporter of Israel either. When this is pointed out, people usually ask, “So does he support Palestine?” No. Messi is not one of the figures who has publicly taken a side on this issue. Like thousands of other footballers, he prefers not to share his political views publicly.

The claim that Argentine society is largely racist, as well as the claim that the vast majority of Argentinians support Israel, are both generalizations produced on social media. These are narratives that far-right groups and zionist circles would like to spread. We should not fall into this trap.

Thybulle, a two-time All-Defense team member, spoke with JJ Redick and Luka Doncic about the Lakers desire to sign him and his role during free agency and chose the opportunity on Monday. Thybulle shot 41.8% from 3 over the last two years across 45 games -- and led the NBA in steals and deflections per 36 minutes last season among players to play at least 20 contests, per ESPN Research.
