First off, that’s not the Azteca.

🏟️🇲🇽 Can someone please explain to me why the Azteca stadium isn't hosting the World Cup final? 🤔

The games should have been more evenly divided with many more in Mexico. Many including the 88 year old German newsman (who attended 17 Cups) say the best World Cup they ever attended was 1986 in Mexico.

[Rahul Raj @RahulRajVerse]

People: It doesn’t even feel like Mexico is hosting the FIFA World Cup. It feels like it’s just the USA that’s getting all the hype

Meanwhile, Mexico 🔥🔥🔥

True. México itself is even more incredible! Viva La México!

[A. T. M. @drgoader]

This World Cup stadium in Mexico is so incredible.

Love Raw Milk. Drink it every day! Go Ro!! (Or is it Moo?)

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

A sixteen-cow farm in Cheshire is rationing its milk and trying to buy another cow, all because the best striker on the planet mentioned it once on YouTube.

Erling Haaland drinks raw milk. A glass in the morning, another after training, a ritual he has kept since he was a boy. He calls it his magic potion, a superfood, good for the stomach, the skin, the bones and the muscles. Then he showed six million people a glass of it, and the quiet little dairy he buys from has not been quiet since.

That dairy is Greenoaks Farm in Mobberley. Sixteen cows, calves left on their mothers, a couple of hundred litres a day sold straight to whoever turns up at the gate. Since the video it has been, in its own words, frazzled. Orders skyrocketing, staff flat out, a Facebook post saying they hope to buy a new dairy cow very soon just to keep pace. One footballer, one phone, and a small British farm got a surge no dairy campaign has managed in years.

Start with what is actually in the glass. Cream still sitting on top. The fat-soluble vitamins intact, the enzymes still working, the native bacteria still alive, none of it boiled off in a factory to buy a few extra days of shelf life. This is the milk people drank for ten thousand years before anyone built a pasteurisation plant.

A farmer who sells it by the tens of thousands of gallons calls it fantastic for muscle repair and growth. You can argue that claim all day. A glass of it is currently leading the line for one of the best teams in the world.

Now watch the reaction, because the reaction is the whole story. The Food Standards Agency files raw milk under risky and insists there is little credible evidence it does anything at all. A former Manchester City nutritionist went on the BBC to warn fans off copying him, to stop chasing trends and do the mundane stuff properly instead. A man paid to think about nutrition, gently correcting the best goalscorer alive about his own breakfast.

And look at the friction they built around it. You cannot buy raw milk in a British shop or supermarket. It is perfectly legal, and they have still made it as awkward as possible to get hold of, so you drive to the farm gate or you go without.

The clampdown has not worked. Some of his own teammates were on it before he arrived. Across the country the orders are now outrunning the cows, small dairies selling out, a whole quiet trade stepping into the daylight on the back of one glass of milk.

The experts say there is no evidence. The evidence is putting the ball in the net every few days, and it begins each morning at a sixteen-cow farm that cannot pour fast enough to keep up.

[Big Ben @BigBen2Point0]

@Sage_FCB Yes. Clattenberg is right. Now ask him or yourself if it were Messi, Offside or Goal?

[Big Ben @BigBen2Point0]

Yes. Now ask yourself if it were Messi, Offside or Goal?

[dannyodwyer @dannyodwyer]

uggggh…I hate this VAR call cos it’s against the spirit of the law but it’s correct

[Big Ben @BigBen2Point0]

@MattMcCarthy985 Agreed. Now ask yourself if it were Messi, Offside or Goal?

[Big Ben @BigBen2Point0]

Yes. Now ask yourself if it were Messi, Offside or Goal?

[Matt McCarthy @MattMcCarthy985]

Both a broken rule and an absolutely corrupt decision all at the same time.

[Big Ben @BigBen2Point0]

A good explanation. Technically correct. Now ask yourself if it were Messi, Offside or Goal?

[Big Ben @BigBen2Point0]

Agreed. No unfair advantage whatsoever. Now ask yourself, same play same ref: if it were Messi, Offside or Goal?

[Billy @HellbenderSTL]

I’m sorry but this is completely and utterly against the spirit of the game. The player gained absolutely no advantage here.

@TheIFAB can’t rewrite the offside rule fast enough to take into consideration the Wenger Law.

I mean come on, his toenail is offside.

[Big Ben @BigBen2Point0]

Agreed. Now ask yourself if it were Messi, Offside or Goal?

[🦜 @parandeye_zard]

VAR is so bad for the game, what meaningful advantage is there in being half a foot offside? just doesn't need to be called that tightly

[Big Ben @BigBen2Point0]

Now ask yourself if it were Messi, Offside or Goal?

[Fernando Munoz Bernal @ChinaTeacher1]

They kill 160 young schoolgirls without a second thought… and we thought they would let succeed at football INSIDE the USA?

Ha!

The murderous terrorist criminal hegemonic regime ain’t about to start being FAIR.

@ChinaTeacher1 Now ask yourself if it were Messi, Offside or Goal?

Not “All.“. But certainly “Some.”

[Freshie @JenniferLe47190]

YES.

[Freshie @JenniferLe47190]
