🚨Zinedine Zidane on France eliminating Paraguay from the FIFA World Cup:
🗣️ “This will be heartbreaking for Paraguay. When you come this close to taking one of the biggest teams in world football to the limit and still walk away eliminated, the pain is impossible to describe.
I thought they defended with courage, they competed in every duel and they never stopped believing. They made France work for every opportunity, and for long periods they looked like a team capable of causing a major upset.
These are the nights that remind you how cruel football can be. You spend months preparing, you give absolutely everything for your country, and then one moment changes your entire tournament.
But I hope this group does not leave with their heads down. They have represented Paraguay with pride, discipline and character. They have shown the world that they can compete with the very best, and that is something their supporters should never forget.
France move on because they found the decisive moment, but Paraguay leave this World Cup with respect. Sometimes football rewards the winner, but it also remembers the team that refused to give up. Paraguay fought until the final whistle, and they deserve enormous credit for that.”
I cannot fathom the hate Paraguay is getting. Even if they are irritating and can be floppers and divers.
They beat Germany. They didn't let France, the best attack in the world, score a goal besides questionable pk.
France has 70 million people, tons of academies, tons of money, a recruiting pipeline from African countries that were once French colonies, the Ballon D'or winner, one of the best players in the world in Mbappe, and a team depth that basically only 1 other team can rival.
Yet people are clapping seals for them and ripping on how Paraguay played? A country of 7 million people, a country ranked like 100 in terms of GDP and wealth, ranked 41st in the world via FIFA rankings, and zero stars.
I think only Almiron and Encisco played in the EPL at some point lol. Yet people expect them to go toe to toe with the best team in the world? "But but but anti-football!" They're trying to win. Only people who have never played the game would have the gameplan to play an open game against the best attacking team in the world. Genius.
Well done Paraguay. You guys may have some cheap tactics too, but that's how you take it to the tournament favorites.
Terrible look for France tbh.
Hallo Gündoğan, lass dir gesagt sein: Du irrst dich gewaltig. Es ist eine Schande, dass ein Spitzenspieler wie du eine so einfache Sache nicht begreift: Wenn man den Torwart behindert, ist das ein Foul. Mag sein, dass es in der Premier League nicht geahndet wird, aber das bedeutet nicht, dass es die richtige Entscheidung der Unparteiischen ist. Die englische Liga versucht, uns daran zu gewöhnen, dass solche Fouls nicht gepfiffen werden.

@PyoHonesto De verdad tenés que ser medio bobo para creer que esto es una cuestión futbolística. Las barras, sin importar el color, están dominadas por la mafia de la droga. Esto es un mal gigante, es un cáncer.. y hay que extirpar de una vez.
Paraguay, and Latin America broadly, has always been one of the most welcoming regions in the world for international families. That hospitality deserves to be met with genuine respect, not used as a backdrop for ideological marketing, personal gain, or events that reduce local women to a number on a list.
Let's call this what it is. Advertising a party by counting how many local women will be present is not cultural exchange. It is the language of sex tourism, dressed up as a social event. It is inappropriate, it is disrespectful, and it reflects a deeper pattern of how some people in the relocation space treat this region as territory to be consumed rather than a place to be honored.
I have been in the relocation space long enough to know that true integration means learning the language, understanding local values, and above all, protecting the privacy and dignity of the people you serve.
A few years ago I respectfully raised concerns about client data and personal documents being published publicly on platforms like X, exposing the very people who came here trusting the process. I was blocked for it.
Protecting people's information is not optional. It is the foundation of this work. This is the same pattern: people are not assets. They are not inventory. They are not a selling point.
I also spent five years running a Spanish school. The hardest part was never the language itself. It was helping people find a real purpose for it. That purpose exists. It is in the relationships you build, the community you become part of, and the life you actually create here. Not in how a place and its people are packaged and sold.
Latin America is not a niche market. It is a second home, and a beautiful one.
For every expat genuinely planning a move to Paraguay or anywhere in Latin America: seek advisors who speak the language, who have real roots in the community, who protect your data and your long term interests, and who understand that this region welcomes you as long as you come with respect.
El Transbordador era, literalmente, un planeador hipersónico sin motor en la aproximación final. Desde la reentrada hasta el toque, una sola oportunidad.
Las pistas como Edwards AFB eran elegidas por su enorme longitud y margen lateral, fundamentales para un vehículo con alta velocidad de aproximación, relación planeo muy pobre, cero posibilidad de go-around o escape.
La aproximación se realizaba con un perfil muy pronunciado (~19°), muchísimo más empinado que el de un avión comercial, para disipar energía rápidamente. El tren de aterrizaje se bajaba apenas segundos antes del tocar tierra por una razón crítica: Reducir la resistencia durante el planeo, evitar cargas estructurales. No había plan B ...
