"Hay gente en el suelo, espérense", gritaban durante los festejos del gane de la Selección Mexicana en zonas cercana al Ángel de la independencia en CDMX.
Se confirmó murieron cuatro personas tras los festejos.
🚨 Parte de lo que se vivió anoche en el Ángel de la Independencia.
Se está hablando muy poco de esto, pero el saldo fue de 4 personas fallecidas por asfixia. En el video incluso se escucha a alguien gritar: ”¡Hay gente tirada, no mamen!”
Este es apenas un pequeño fragmento de cómo la situación comenzó a salirse de control. Hay decenas de testimonios de personas que describen la noche como una de las peores experiencias de su vida: niños y mujeres en el suelo, gente implorando porque no podía respirar, llanto, gritos de desesperación y una estampida humana que terminó en tragedia.
Es indispensable que el domingo haya protocolos de seguridad y prevención, porque si México gana, las cosas se saldrán de control.
@ivan_alexispy Igual y ya hace 10 años que ni el disco te da propiedad sobre el juego, es solo una cáscara bonita, para jugarlo efectivamente debes descargar una actualización controlada por ellos 🫠
Never underestimate Paraguay. This is a nation that:
🇵🇾 Still speaks Guaraní despite 300 years of Spanish rule
🇵🇾 Defied Portuguese slavers for 150 years
🇵🇾 Survived a 🇧🇷🇦🇷🇺🇾 invasion that killed half its population
🇵🇾 Defeated Bolivia in the Chaco War
🇵🇾 Outlasted a 35-year dictatorship
A “third-class team”, as German commentators claimed? Should have read some history 😎
european football has spent the past fifteen years solving futbol like chess.
a generation of coaches optimized for pass completion, pressing triggers, territorial control, rest defense, and positional occupation.
the problem of this is that they optimize for what is measurable. depth, the willingness to attack space early, attempt the difficult pass, dribble past a defender, or deliberately create chaos, is a high variance play. it fails more often than it succeeds. if you evaluate players by completion rate, ball retention, or positional discipline, those actions look like mistakes. so they get coached out. eventually, everyone converges toward the same local optimum.
the game becomes increasingly legible. every team occupies similar spaces, presses in similar ways, builds from the back with similar patterns, and minimizes the same risks. systems become better at defeating other systems, but worse at dealing with players who refuse to behave like systems.
south american football never fully abandoned the duel as the fundamental unit of the game. the 1v1 remained sacred. so did the tactical foul, the unpredictable dribble, and the player willing to lose possession five times if the sixth breaks the match open. the objective was never simply to preserve structure, it was to create someone capable of destroying the opponent’s structure.
football is not won by completing the most passes. it is won by scoring more goals than the other team. those are related, but they are not the same objective.
this is the danger of optimizing proxies. when everyone optimizes the same measurements, they stop optimizing for victory itself. they optimize for looking efficient.
italy may have been the first major european football culture to lose part of its identity this way. its historical advantage was never athletic superiority or perfect positional play. it was tactical asymmetry, unpredictability, and an instinct for making matches uncomfortable. as italian football converged toward the same coaching model as the rest of europe, it gradually surrendered the qualities that had made it different.
the broader lesson extends well beyond football. every optimization process eventually risks becoming self-defeating. metrics become targets. proxies replace objectives. variance is mistaken for error. the outliers capable of breaking the system disappear because the system itself learns to eliminate them.
The rest of the world is discovering what Paraguay is particularly well known for in South America: being the kings of haramball.
Sandwitched between the titans of Brazil and Argentina and also outmatched by several other south american national teams in terms of talent- Paraguay only has 6 million people, not so much room for recruiting talented players- their national team has evolved as if it is designed for haramball, to negate their oponents advantages.
For example, they eliminated Brazil in the 2015 Copa America in the penaltis using the same strategy as today (https://t.co/4Alj9pwvMY).
Paraguay es el país sudamericano más indescifrable para los españoles. Nos falta conocimiento para montar un arquetipo. Uruguay y Chile son los países ricos; Bolivia y Perú, los países indígenas del altiplano; Colombia y Venezuela, las potencias inconclusas.
¿Paraguay?
🇺🇸🇻🇪 | DESASTRE EN VENEZUELA: El presidente estadounidense Donald Trump felicita a la administración de Delcy Rodríguez y sellada sobre Venezuela: “Más allá que se cayeron edificios …Los venezolanos están felices bailando en las calles”.
🇺🇸🇻🇪 | Trump sobre Venezuela: "Los golpeamos tan fuerte y ahora hemos sacado millones de barriles de petróleo. Fuera del terremoto, la gente está feliz y bailando en las calles."
Miren esta vergüenza.
Lamentable lo de Pechugon, no se puede jugar así con la gente desde la comodidad de empresario.
Hagan algo por favor que sirva de ejemplo @MTESS_PY@monicarecalded
One reason I will always maintain Ronaldo is the GOAT is that it goes beyond football. Beyond stats. Beyond trophies. Beyond the eye test.
He’s one of the few athletes whose story is applicable to every aspect of life.
Whether you’re in football, basketball, tennis, business, education, or any field that just demands excellence, Ronaldo’s career is a blueprint. The mentality. The discipline. The sacrifice. The willingness to do what others won’t. The obsession with improvement when everyone else is comfortable.
People see the goals and records. I see the lessons.
How many times has the world tried to write him off? How many times has he been doubted, criticized, ridiculed, and declared finished? Yet somehow he always finds a way to respond. He doesn’t run from pressure, he embraces it.
That’s what makes him different.
Talent is common at the highest level. Mentality isn’t.
There have been players with more natural gifts. There have been players with more flair. But very few human beings in any profession have ever shown the level of determination Ronaldo has displayed for over two decades.
Twenty years of waking up every day with the same goal, be better than yesterday.
Twenty years of carrying expectations that would break most people.
Twenty years of refusing to accept decline without a fight.
For me, that’s why his legacy transcends football. Ronaldo isn’t just a football player. He’s a case study in perseverance, self-belief, resilience, and relentless ambition.
When people ask why so many admire him, it’s not just because of the goals.
It’s because he represents what human beings can achieve when talent meets an unbreakable mindset.
