Trump on Balogun: "I saw the play, and I'm a person that loves sports ... that wasn't a foul. That wasn't even an infraction ... this referee, who is a little bit suspect if you check his past. He made a call that nobody could believe ... he's our best player, or one of our best players. And he gave him a red card. I didn't know what that meant ... yes, I asked for a review by FIFA."
Não dói nem um pouco. O Neymar nasceu com o tipo de talento que 1 pessoa em 1 bilhão nasce, e escolheu desperdiçar isso em whisky, poker e mulher. Nunca se comprometeu com nada, nunca se responsabilizou por nada.
Viveu metade da carreira lesionado porque tem o preparo físico e a resistência de um bebum, fez questão de vender a própria imagem mais por polêmica extracampo que por esforço no campo e, quando percebeu que não conseguiria nada com isso, aparelhou o Santos e a CBF.
Além de tudo é mimado, desrespeitoso e tem 0 fairplay. Um delinquente que sequestrou nossa camisa por mais de 1 década e alimentou uma péssima cultura no nosso futebol. Finalmente acabou.
Thank you Casemiro.
From the very first day you came in you promised to us fans you’d fix this & you delivered. You gave your all every single game. Crucial goals & some vital tackles in moments we needed you. You’ve set us up well for the future now.
A leader by example & your experience was valuable for the club. Thank you.❤️🇧🇷
🚨🎙️ Thierry Henry on FIFA turning the World Cup Final into a Super Bowl circus:
“Football is losing its soul little by little. A World Cup Final is supposed to be the purest form of football, pressure, intensity, emotion, tactics, suffering, history. Not a halftime concert made for social media clips and celebrities in vip seats.
When you play at the highest level, your body is programmed around rhythm. Fifteen minutes. That’s what every footballer in the world has known since childhood. Your muscles stay warm, your concentration stays locked in, your emotions stay alive. Now imagine players sitting there for 25 minutes during the biggest game of their lives because FIFA wants a bigger TV spectacle.
People think footballers are robots. They are not. Momentum is real. If one team is dominating before halftime, that long break can completely kill the intensity of the game. It changes everything tactically and mentally. You cool down physically, you lose adrenaline, and then people expect players to immediately return playing at 100 miles per hour.
And let’s be honest here, this is not about football, it’s about money and entertainment. They want football to become the Super Bowl. More commercials, more performances, more headlines, more celebrities. But football became the biggest sport in the world without all of that. The game itself was enough.
The dangerous part is that if the final quality drops or players get injured because of these changes, fans will attack the players first. They will say certain stars disappeared in the second half or failed under pressure, without understanding the conditions were completely changed for a television show.
For me, the World Cup Final should feel sacred. Ninety minutes of war between the best players on earth. Not a pause long enough for the world to forget the match is even happening.”
“Arsenal have been blocking the opponent’s goalkeeper all season long, they would NEVER be on top of the league if we disallow these goals!”
Peter Schmeichel thank you for calling them out. have your cheating title VARSENAL. 👏
Los Cavaliers ganan 61 partidos en 2009-10, LeBron James se va a Miami, y los Cavs pasan a ganar 19 juegos la temporada siguiente.
LeBron James llega a un equipo de Miami que había ganado 47 partidos, ganan 58 con él la siguiente temporada.
Abandona Miami en 2014, y el equipo pasa de 54 victorias con él, a 37 sin él.
Ese mismo año, regresa a unos Cavs que habían ganado 33 partidos, y pasan a ganar 53 con él la siguiente temporada.
En su última temporada en Cavs, el equipo gana 50 partidos, el año siguiente sin LeBron ganan 19 partidos.
Jordan se retira en 1994, el equipo pasó de ganar 57 partidos con él, a ganar 55 sin él, y ser eliminados en semifinales de conferencia.
Jordan jugaba para el mejor sistema de la NBA en una liga que agregaba un equipo nuevo todos los años y diluía la calidad general de competitividad, mientras que LeBron ha sido el sistema toda su vida en una NBA con 30 equipos establecidos y con multiples HOFs jugando juntos para vencerlo.
Jordan nunca se enfrentó a más de dos HOFs juntos (Utah, Lakers), LeBron enfrentó a más de 3 en 8 de sus 10 finales jugadas; OKC, Spurs, Warriors, todos con 3,4 y hasta 5 HOFs juntos solo para vencer al equipo del rey que llegaba a finales todos los años.
