something i have to say about this is that when people want to support a "smaller country" they don't actually want them to win, they want them to lose to enjoy being angry when it happens. if an underdog becomes a regular dog people treat them, well, like a dog
Yes, those photos you’ve seen are real.
More than 18 years ago, a baby named Lamine Yamal and his mom Sheila met Lionel Messi at a UNICEF fundraising photoshoot.
Today, their achievements on the pitch inspire millions. Off the pitch, both Messi and Lamine Yamal use their voices and platforms as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors to support and advocate for children around the world.
The goal? That every child survives, thrives, and fulfils their potential.
We are proud to have them on our team.

@ishaantharoor Everything we consume exists behind layers of corporate PR and politics. Argentinians aren’t a monolith either. I’m Indian, and my government’s politics don’t necessarily represent me. Argentina beating England, potentially Spain, is still a huge for South American football.
@ishaantharoor Great read, and I agree with much of the political analysis. But it’s reductive to view football only through that lens. Argentina beat Egypt fairly; the calls were harsh, but within the rules. You don’t need a parasocial relationship with football to enjoy it.
I subjected myself to this 49 minute video of disinformation, lies, ignorance and racism.
A video made by an American Youtuber, Tyler Oliveira, who doesn't know his arse from his elbow when it comes to Ireland.
I'll go through some of it and try counter lies with some facts. /1

The Greens win our first ever directly elected Mayor - a huge historic victory.
Huge congratulations to Zoë and the entire team.
Two party politics isn't dying. It's dead and it's buried.
And we're making hope normal again.
Indian millennials and Gen Z will mock their WhatsApp trusting parents but are basically the punk version of the later, a matcho bollywood blockbuster is all thats needed to tranquillise any critical thinking cells in their brains.
I’ve seen so many racist cunts talk shit about this poor woman.
Do you know what she actually did? She helped design posters, leaflets that gave information regarding the importance of regular cervical cancer screenings in her free time.
