@raggedtag Just like how in every American webseries, there is a LGBT angle with atleast one partner black or Asian American facing some kind of persecution. The typical left woke liberal. Can’t live without such subtle propaganda in the name of creative liberty.

🚨🗣️ New: Gareth Bale reacts to the Argentina vs Algeria match and the Messi incident:
“I’ve been around this game long enough to know when something doesn’t feel right. Argentina against Algeria wasn’t just another group game. Messi scored a hat-trick, Argentina won comfortably, and the headlines will focus on that. But what happened around the 30th minute told a bigger story about where football is heading.
Messi went in on Algeria’s captain. Studs up, right across the calf and down toward the Achilles. In real time it looked bad. In slow motion it looked worse. That’s a red card on most days, against most players, in most competitions. The referee and VAR had a clear look. They chose not to act.
I’m not here to pile on the officials. I wouldn’t want to be the man who shows Messi a red card in a World Cup and potentially derails Argentina’s group stage. The heat that would come with that decision is something no referee signs up for lightly. But that’s exactly the problem. When the fear of the consequences starts influencing what happens on the pitch, the game stops being decided by the players and the laws.
This World Cup is already the most commercialised version we’ve seen. Games paused for television breaks, extra stoppages dressed up as player welfare when everyone knows it’s about fitting in more ads. Now we’re seeing officiating decisions that protect the biggest names and the biggest storylines because knocking Argentina out early in the groups would hurt the narrative FIFA and the broadcasters have built.
What happens to the ‘script’ then? The defending champions gone before the knockout stage. Messi missing matches. Sponsors and rights holders suddenly watching their investment lose momentum. The product they’ve spent billions packaging suddenly looks very different.
I’ve played in big tournaments. I know how much money and pressure sit behind every decision now. But football used to have a rhythm and a soul that came from uncertainty. You never knew what was coming next. When protecting commercial interests and keeping the stars on the pitch starts overriding clear red-card incidents, that soul gets chipped away a little more.
The game deserves better than this. Players deserve rules applied the same way every time. Fans deserve to watch a sport that isn’t afraid of its own outcomes. If we keep letting money and narratives dictate what we see on the pitch, we’re not watching football anymore. We’re watching a show that happens to have a ball on it.”

Thierry Henry on the VAR check involving Lionel Messi:
🗣️ “I’ve seen a lot of people saying that should have been a red card, but for me, intent is very important when you analyse these situations properly.”
“When you watch it again, you can clearly see that Lionel Messi is focused on the ball and trying to make a football action, not trying to hurt anyone.”
“Yes, there is contact. Yes, it looks awkward. But not every collision is a red card.”
“That’s exactly why VAR exists — to slow everything down and determine whether there was any malicious intent or serious foul play.”
“The officials looked at it carefully and in the end didn't even believe it was worth a yellow card.”
“People are reacting because it’s Messi. If it was another player, I don't think there would be nearly as much controversy.”
“For me, it was accidental, unfortunate, and nothing more than that.”
“Football is a contact sport, and sometimes incidents look far worse in real time than they actually are.”
“Department of War announced today that the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) will officially restore its name to the U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM).”
It is telling India you are no more wanted. Its pacific not Indo-Pacific ! Makes Quad as useless now !
🚨🗣 Mikel Obi says Algeria has been ROBBED Messi should have been sent off after stepping on the Calf of the Algeria player
"In what world was that not a red? He stepped on the calf and did not even receive a yellow card man. The inconsistencies in referee decisions are too rampant and terrible. Any player would have been sent off for that tackle. It is Argentina starboy so it is okay to do that, terrible!

At least thrice now the ref has overlooked French fouls against Senegal. I can understand football is a physical game, but he's being biased in favour of France. Who's the guy?
