💦 Marcelo Bielsa speaking 𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗦 about the hydration breaks:
🗣️ Bielsa: "Playing matches in four quarters instead of two halves completely changes that cultural understanding we have of football."
This change of culture does not add anything and takes away a lot. I will just say that before this decision, football had a characteristic, now it has another.
People fall in love with the game because of its characteristics. Of course technology like VAR, we commend it and value it.
Technology offers more opportunities. There is another intention for the breaks and the conclusions I'm making here are not really my own. I also echo what I hear as well."
I’ve been living immersed in South Korea for the last month with my wife and daughter.
We just leave the stroller outside if we go in anywhere.
Because no one’s going to steal it.
I met a friend for lunch. He rode his bicycle. He just left it outside in an alley without a lock.
It was still there 2 hours later.
Another friend mistakenly left his phone on a park bench. When he finally retraced his steps and went back 4 hours later, his iPhone was still there.
I walked by a KPop concert. The fans who traveled from outside of Seoul to attend just left their luggage outside the subway station. No locks. No security.
Koreans take this for granted. They don’t realize this is not normal for most the world, especially America.
When I ask about it, they just respond, “of course, why would someone take it?”
Can you imagine any of these things happening or being possible in NYC or LA or *insert city*?
And IF, something were to be stolen in Korea, the police would investigate. Because in a high trust society, rules and norms matter.
There’s no “under $1000” law.
Theft is theft.
And trust is trust.
Will this social norm ever be possible in America?

A Mexican fan has gone viral after pulling off an unforgettable surprise for his dad. 🇲🇽❤️
The emotional video shows the son arriving at his father's car mechanic shop to reveal that he had bought them tickets to watch Mexico's World Cup opener against South Africa. Fighting back tears, he tells his dad the news, who initially refuses to believe it.
But the surprise didn't stop there. His son had also bought him a brand-new Mexico shirt and even packed a suitcase because they were leaving for the match immediately.
The clip then cuts to Mexico City, where his dad is seen in tears during the national anthem before wildly celebrating Mexico's opening goal.
The World Cup creates memories that last a lifetime. This is the wholesome content we all need in our lives. 🇲🇽🫂❤️
