🚨🗣️ Zlatan Ibrahimović Reacts to the World Cup Drama between Turkey and Paraguay:
On the new "Vinícius Law" and Miguel Almirón's red card:
🗣️ "They are calling it the 'Vinícius Law', sending players to the dressing room just for putting a shirt over their mouth during an argument. When Zlatan played, defenders covered their mouths because they were terrified I would eat them alive! Now, the referees and IFAB are trying to police words they cannot even hear. If an opponent provokes you, you do not need an official in an office in Canada to protect you with a new rule. You put the ball in the top corner and make them quiet. That is the real punishment."
On Paraguay's heroic 10-man performance:
🗣️ "Everyone is crying about the referee and the monitor, but they are completely missing the real miracle. Paraguay loses Miguel Almirón in the third minute of first-half stoppage time because of this ridiculous rule. They have to play the entire second half with 10 men against a Turkish team full of talent. Did they give up? No. They defended like absolute lions. You can create all the modern regulations you want, but you cannot legislate heart. A lion with a disadvantage is still a lion, and Paraguay showed the world what it means to be a warrior."
On the early goal and Turkey's elimination:
🗣️ "You have to respect what Paraguay did from the first whistle. Julio Enciso makes a play, Matías Galarza scores in the second minute, and then they decide they will die on the pitch before they surrender that lead. Turkey had a whole half to break down 10 men and couldn't do it, and now they are flying home. Tactics are for philosophers; surviving a World Cup match against all odds is for men. Today, Paraguay was a team of 10 men with the spirit of 100."
My dear friend Dick Parry died this morning.
Since I was seventeen, I have played in bands with Dick on saxophone, including Pink Floyd.
His feel and tone make his saxophone playing unmistakable, a signature of enormous beauty that is known to millions and is such a big part of songs such as Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Wish You Were Here, Us and Them and Money.
He played in the last band I had that included Rick Wright for the On An Island Tour and at Live 8 with Pink Floyd.
Here are some pictures of him, including one of him and me playing for the ABC Minors at the Victoria Cinema in Cambridge in 1963.

El ministro del interior interrumpió su permiso de tres días y salió a desmentir las afirmaciones del Senador Núñez de que cobraba 150 millones de guaraníes por ascenso.Dijo que está listo para destrozarlo en ámbitos judiciales. La inseguridad crece en un ambiente de corrupción.
