>18 minutos do primeiro tempo, gol de Haaland contra a Argentina na semifinal da copa do mundo

>Messi pede VAR e o juiz aceita

>VAR começa a voltar no jogo, não encontra nenhuma falta de Haaland

> VAR continua voltando no tempo, assistimos o nascimento do primeiro filho de Haaland, o primeiro beijo em sua esposa, seu primeiro chute em uma bola, seus primeiros passos, a primeira vez que olhou nos olhos de sua mãe, seu primeiro choro… Nada de errado

> VAR volta ainda mais no tempo, vasculha a vida do pai de Haaland, da sua mãe, dos seus avós, bisavós, tataravós…

> verão de 793 d.C.
Na pequena aldeia de Skarvik, em um fiorde da costa da atual Noruega, vivia Eirik,Haaland o Lobo do Mar, um guerreiro experiente e capitão de um navio chamado Serpente Cinzenta. Sua aldeia enfrentava um inverno rigoroso, e os estoques de alimento e prata eram escassos.
Em uma manhã envolta por neblina, Eirik reuniu cerca de quarenta guerreiros. Com escudos de madeira pintados em vermelho e preto, machados afiados e lanças, embarcaram rumo ao oeste, atravessando o Mar do Norte.
Dias depois, avistaram uma pequena ilha com um grande mosteiro de pedra: Lindisfarne. Do alto dos mastros, um dos homens apontou para os telhados e disse:
- "Há riqueza ali."
Os monges não esperavam um ataque. Enquanto alguns copiavam manuscritos e outros rezavam, os navios vikings tocaram a praia. Os guerreiros desembarcaram rapidamente e avançaram pelo terreno.
Os sinos do mosteiro começaram a tocar, mas já era tarde. As portas foram arrombadas. Objetos de ouro e prata usados nas cerimônias religiosas foram recolhidos, baús foram abertos e alimentos estocados para o inverno foram levados. Alguns monges fugiram pelos campos; outros foram capturados.
Após poucas horas, Eirik ordenou a retirada. Os navios voltaram ao mar carregando provisões, metais preciosos e outros bens de valor. A fumaça do saque podia ser vista à distância enquanto a frota desaparecia no horizonte.
Quando os sobreviventes retornaram ao mosteiro, encontraram o lugar devastado. A notícia do ataque espalhou-se pelos reinos cristãos, tornando-se um dos episódios que marcariam o início da chamada Era Viking.

@Am_I_Dead_GOD What a pathetic life you lead. Even inventing thoughts for Ronaldo now.

@tallmessi_ @FanscyWRLD Really??? And wasn't his goal cancelled?

[AtaRa_xia @datAzzamness]

@Daddyboyy8 @manueludeh @Wizarab10 Muller had both the goals and assists and yet no golden ball. How's that fair?

Sinceramente, creo que muy poca gente “odia” a Messi. Yo no le odio, de hecho es que no me cae mal. Indiscutiblemente, es uno de los más grandes de la historia del fútbol. Como dije con CR7, que cada uno le sitúe en el puesto que quiera y no me extraña que, para muchos, sea el mejor. Para mí, no. Pero es cuestión de gustos. Su Mundial es tremendo.
Pero… es obvio que muchos, muchísimos, pensamos que siempre ha jugado y ganado con protección arbitral e institucional. La que, por cierto, NUNCA tuvo Maradona.
Pero, ¿odiar? No, hombre…
Que esto es fútbol y él es muy bueno. Aunque juegue siempre con red.

It’s incredible how bias clouds people’s judgment.

I’ve genuinely lost hundreds of followers these last weeks just for expressing my admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo.

One comment I always find bizarre is, “How can you be a Totti fan and a Ronaldo fan?” My answer is simple: “Cause I can?”

“But Totti chose loyalty over fame, glory and money, while Ronaldo is an arrogant egomaniac who thinks he’s the best!”

The same Totti who pretty much thinks only Maradona was better than him. The same Totti who wanted a director’s role at Roma despite never completing a single course. The same Totti who believed he could make a Serie A return at 48.

What an arrogant person this Totti guy is huh?

No, he is not.

I’m the person who spends the most time in the world consuming hours of Totti content every single day.

I’ve spent well into four figures acquiring full matches simply because I love watching him play and because I want to change the wider perception of just how good he really was.

I’m literally obsessed with Totti.

That doesn’t mean I have to pretend he was a flawless human being.

Just because I love Totti, the long hair, the low socks and the vintage football, doesn’t mean I can’t also admire Cristiano Ronaldo.

The idea that elite athletes don’t have enormous egos is one of the biggest misconceptions held by people who have never competed at a high level.

Every athlete who reaches that level believes they’re the best and you have to be that way in order to survive.

The inconsistency is what fascinates me.

Someone will say they prefer Messi over Ronaldo because Messi is a “humble boy just enjoying football” while Ronaldo is a “crying prima donna,” yet their favourite basketball player is Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant, two of the most ruthless, ego-driven competitors sport has ever seen (as well as being dicks to their own teammates).

Or the same person will say they prefer Messi to Ronaldo because he’s a purer footballer and better all around while also at the same time ignores the same logic he built his argument on and prefers Salah over Hazard because of Salah’s ruthless efficiency and numbers.

It’s perfectly fine to prefer one player over another for valid footballing reasons.

What I find strange is when personality arguments are applied selectively depending on who people already like.

Football fans are nothing but pretentious actors.

Messi's football legacy becomes sketchier with every passing day. What do you mean he has not won anything without support from higher ups.

When a player can only perform extraordinarily under extraordinary conditions then he is an ordinary player.

Two of his Champions League titles featured the most controversial matches.

Barca vs Arsenal (Final)
Barca vs Chelsea (Semi final)

His league dominance is currently shadowed with unprecedented corruption in the Nergeira case.

That's at least 50% of what he has ever won.

The Copa America after failing severally to Sanchez and threatening retirement, the tournament's calendar was revised for him.

The WC which was meant to be his crowning moment has been dubbed as the most controversial one ever won.

Why would a player of said caliber have these kind of taints on his career.

Eventually, everyone will admit what majority already know. To win at the expense of others so brazenly diminishes everything that you do.

Messi fans know this and they will admit it soon enough

[AtaRa_xia @datAzzamness]

@yaygha @NiccoFuse You speak as though you personally know him or that your perception of him didn't come from media narratives?

[AtaRa_xia @datAzzamness]

@NYboateng @kwabenaboatman Empty konko! Didn't Maradona play in Europe?

@KXN9PIN @Wizarab10 Scathing remarks? Do you mean what scathing means? And pls show me those remarks

America…?

A moral compass…?

*clears throat*

The United States was built on genocide and ethnic cleansing

In 1898 it declared itself a ‘global power’ by crushing independence movements in the Philippines, killing at least 200k Filipino civilians

From 1912 to 1933 it occupied Nicaragua, violently suppressing nationalist movements

From 1915 to 1934 it invaded and occupied Haiti, essentially legalising slave labour

From 1916 to 1924 it done the same to the Dominican Republic

In 1945 it needlessly dropped two atomic bombs on civilians days before they knew Japan was to surrender, in a ‘display of strength’ to the Soviets

In 1953 it overthrew Iran’s democracy in an act of pure self-interest

In 1954 it overthrew Guatemala’s democracy leading to decades of violence

In 1965 it backed mass killings in Indonesia, enabling the murder of up to a million people

In the 1960’s and 1970’s it carpet-bombed Vietnam, killed millions, and poisoned the land

From 1969 to 1973 it also carpet-bombed Cambodia with similar effects

In 1973 it installed a dictatorship in Chile through a military coup

From 1979 to 1989 it armed and funded Afghan militias, destabilising the country for decades

In the 1990s it strangled Iraq with sanctions, devastating millions

In 2003 it invaded Iraq on a lie, leading to a million dead

In 2011 it destroyed Libya, turning a functioning state into a failed one where slave markets now exist

In the 2020s it continues unabated, funding and arming the Gaza genocide and more atrocities across the Middle East

This is not even close to an exhaustive list of US crimes

So, what’s very, very important to understand is not that the United States has lost its ‘moral compass’ — it’s that it’s lost its ability to rewrite history in real time because the internet exists

It has lost total control of the narrative

Or, in short, now we’re able to see what it really is, and always has been
