Had so much momentum until it reached the point where it goes from a fun little idea to a real world application...
Been sitting on this card for like 4 days orz
Ah, screw it.
Gotta push ahead.
There's no endless fountain of motivation for anything, especially if it's something worth doing.
Small steps towards the goal...
Zeynep Sonmez says tournament organizers ban her from wearing Palestine-supporting pin
“I used to wear a pin. Tournaments no longer allow me to wear it. We had a discussion with the organizers because the Ukrainian flag is allowed but Palestine is not. They ultimately told us they definitely would not allow it ... I can use the vibration dampener and they can't object to that. That's why I put the watermelon symbol on my racket”
@himitsuakiba Ah, no - I've never really taken to water, sadly.
Not for lack of trying.
Enrolled in lessons and finally learned to swim in my mid 20s, but still quite uncomfortable.
🗣 Zlatan Ibrahimovic – "Cristiano was shouting 'I'm back' after scoring against Uzbekistan. That's nice. But against Colombia he played the whole game, had one shot, scored zero goals, and finished with a 0-0 draw."
🗣 "Then I watched Messi. He didn't even start the match against Jordan. He came on after 60 minutes, looked at the free-kick, and did what only geniuses do.
Goal, Match won."
🗣 “Another record broken. Seven consecutive World Cup matches with a goal.That's the difference."
🗣 "Some players tell the world they're back. Messi never left."
🗣 "While others are busy making announcements, Messi is busy making history. At 39 years old, he walks onto the pitch and treats football like it's a training session.Free-kicks, records, trophies, goals — just another day at the office."
🗣 "Greatness doesn't need a microphone.
Greatness wears No.10 for Argentina." 🐐🇦🇷👑🔥
Thierry Henry on Colombia's goal being ruled out for offside against Portugal:
🗣️ “How on earth is that offside? I've watched it again and again, and I still can't understand how the referee and VAR came to that decision. That goal should have stood.”
“This is exactly why supporters are losing trust in VAR. The technology was introduced to correct obvious mistakes, not create even bigger controversies.”
“Colombia have been robbed of a huge moment. You can't disallow a goal like that on the biggest stage without being absolutely certain. From what we've seen, there was nothing clear about that decision.”
“The referee didn't just rule out a goal he took away the emotion, the celebration, and a potentially defining World Cup moment. That's devastating for every Colombian player and supporter.”
“If this is the standard of officiating at a World Cup, then football has a serious problem. The referee and VAR have to answer for a decision that could change an entire tournament.”
Hot take that nobody asked for this morning:
Timothee Chalamat is being cast in roles far beyond his limits as an actor and is failing terribly but Hollywood and fans are too smitten to notice or care.
