🔥🇦🇷 “Se tendrán que morder la lengua los que pensaban que esto iba a ser europeo, que a Messi le regalaban todo. Esa es la que no pueden tragar hoy, una ridiculez y hasta envidia tuvieron con Argentina. ¿Ahora de que ayudar van a hablar?” - Mariano Closs
“Desde que mi viejo me compró mis primeros botines que soñaba con hacer este gol.
Para mi vieja, que desde el día que yo me fui a Racing jamás dejó de tender mi cama. Eso vale más que cualquier gol, que una final”.
Esto de Lautaro Martínez. 🥹🇦🇷
[DEPORTES] "¡Uf! Qué alivio": Latorre analizó el Mundial de Argentina, que "está en un grupo selecto de las cuatro selecciones" y pasó por un "camino" que "no es fácil", pero afirmó que al equipo "le costó mucho", "sobre todo por los rivales con los que se ha encontrado".
Los debates futbolísticos entre jugador y entrenador son de las cosas más bonitas y útiles del fútbol. De ese modo, yo he aprendido mucho de algunos jugadores. Son las lecciones que más recuerdo, pasados los años, de hecho.
“En la vida y en el fútbol NO TODO ES DINERO y uno en su trabajo espera que su JEFE los trate bien. No podía aguantar ese tipo de AMENAZAS y formas de tratarme a mí. Me pedía que por favor me fuera para NO PAGARME 2 días más”
Rodrigo Ureña, ex jugador de Universitario, detalló sobre su salida del club.

I'm a cardiologist. The greatest footballer who ever lived spent his childhood injecting hormones into his own legs every single night — because his body had stopped growing. This is the medical story behind Lionel Messi, and it's more extraordinary than most people realize.
At 11, Messi had barely grown since he was 9. He stood 4'4". Doctors diagnosed Growth Hormone Deficiency — his pituitary gland, the master gland at the base of the brain, wasn't producing enough growth hormone. Without treatment, specialists predicted he'd never pass 4'7".
The treatment: nightly injections of synthetic growth hormone into his thighs. A small boy giving himself shots while other kids played. The cost: around $1,500 a month — impossible for his family in Rosario for the long haul.
As a physician, let me tell you what those injections actually were.
Growth hormone is one of the most powerful signaling molecules in the human body. It drives bone growth, muscle development, and tissue repair. In a child whose pituitary can't make enough, replacing it isn't enhancement — it's rescue. Without it, Messi's growth plates would have fused early and he'd have lived his life severely short. With it, his body was given the raw material to become what his genetics intended.
This is the same class of medicine I've written about on this platform — replacing what the body can't produce. Insulin for diabetics. Thyroid hormone for hypothyroidism. And now, in the frontier I keep returning to, we're moving toward cell therapies that could one day let a body produce these molecules itself instead of injecting them nightly. Messi's childhood was the old model of that fight — a needle, every night, for years.
Then football history turned on a napkin. At 13, after a trial that stunned Barcelona, sporting director Carles Rexach grabbed the nearest paper he could find — a restaurant napkin — and wrote a promise: Barcelona would sign him and pay for his treatment. The family moved to Spain. The injections continued. He grew to 5'7".
And here's the part that gives me chills as a doctor.
The very thing that nearly ended his dream became the engine of his greatness. That low center of gravity — the short stature everyone once saw as a defect — became the source of the balance, the impossibly quick changes of direction, the dribbling no taller player could replicate. His body's limitation, medically corrected and then weaponized, turned into the most unguardable weapon in the sport's history.
Eight Ballon d'Ors. A World Cup in 2022. The completion of a story that, without a diagnosis, a treatment, and a napkin, almost never began.
I see the medical lesson in this constantly. A diagnosis is not a verdict. A body that seems to be failing you is not a sentence — it's a problem to be understood and, increasingly, solved. Messi's parents didn't accept "he'll never grow." They found the medicine. And Messi didn't accept "you're too small." He turned the smallness into genius.
Every night that boy pushed a needle into his leg wasn't a mark of weakness. It was proof of the discipline that would one day make him the greatest to ever play.
Modern medicine gave him the inches.
What he did with them was entirely his own.
“Eso no fue una falta. Este árbitro, que es un poco SOSPECHOSO si revisas su historial. Tomó una decisión que nadie podía creer. Sí, pedí una revisión por parte de la FIFA.
Es una cosa penalizar a alguien por el partido, pero ¿cómo los penalizas por un partido que ni siquiera se ha jugado todavía? Es muy INJUSTO. No puedes hacer eso” - Donald Trump confirma que le pidió a la FIFA que le quiten la sanción a Balogun
🚨🇩🇪 BREAKING: Jürgen Klopp as new Germany head coach, here we go! 💥

RB considered Glasner as replacement but he signs at #NFFC.

Cada vez que lo veo a Alfaro me acuerdo de cuando se quiebra recordando a su mamá. De juntar las hojas de los árboles para que ella no se muriera. No hay nadie que merezca más esta hazaña que este tipo.
Vaya, la @ONPE_oficial me recibe con resultados al fin al 100%.
Felicidades especialmente a @KhamaRamaq y a @chubakueno que le dieron al margen casi con exactitud y desde la misma madrugada del Lunes. Ya les he dicho que en la angustia de otra elección apretadísima la buena noticia es que han germinado modelos predictivos realmente potentes. Atrás quedaremos los viejos con nuestro ojímetro y nuestros excels. Los nuevos nerds al poder y los viejos a la tumba, como debe ser.
