🚨 David Beckham on Cape Verde’s elimination after pushing Argentina to extra time in the FIFA World Cup:
🗣️ “This is the cruelest side of football. Cape Verde have been eliminated, but they leave this tournament with something far more important than just a scoreline—they leave with the respect of the entire football world. They took the defending world champions all the way into extra time and made Argentina fight for every single minute. Nobody expected that before kick-off.
When I think about this performance, I think about Vozinha first. His saves kept Cape Verde alive when many teams would have collapsed. Then you have Deroy Duarte and Sydney Lopes, two players who will forever be remembered in their country’s football history. They scored against Argentina, they believed when so many people doubted them, and they gave millions of Cape Verdeans a night they will never forget.
People will only remember that Argentina qualified, but those who truly understand football will remember how close Cape Verde came to creating one of the greatest upsets in World Cup history. They never hid, they never stopped running, and they never accepted that they were supposed to lose. Every challenge, every tackle, every attack showed a team playing with pride, courage, and absolute belief.
This is not a story of failure. This is a story of a nation announcing itself to the football world. Cape Verde arrived at this World Cup as outsiders, but they leave having proven they belong on the biggest stage. They stretched the world champions to their absolute limit, forced them into extra time, and made them earn every second of their qualification.
Football can be incredibly unfair. Sometimes the team that captures the hearts of everyone watching is not the team that advances. But no whistle can erase what Cape Verde have achieved. Vozinha, Deroy Duarte, Sydney Lopes, and every player wearing that shirt have inspired a generation. Argentina continue their journey, but Cape Verde leave this World Cup as heroes.”
Nobody cares about or watches these female superhero movies. I think there’s been maybe one that didn’t flop this century. Female led action films in general are almost always a dud. There’s no audience for it. Nobody wants to see some 105 pound girlboss action hero. It’s a comedically absurd premise, and there’s no getting around that. The studios are of course aware of this market reality. Yet they keep churning these out anyway because they’ll willingly lose money for the sake of pandering to women who want these movies to exist in principle but don’t actually care to watch them. That’s how female-centric our society has become.
🚨 Welcome to the lawless, dangerous, and illegal markets in NYC, where millions and potentially BILLIONS of tax dollars are lost each year. Where criminals arrested for drug dealing, assault, and resisting arrest are set free to commit their crimes once again.
The NYC Council says it loses over $1.7 billion in potential tax revenue. These vendors are primarily illegal migrants from Africa who make $10,000’s of dollars a week TAX FREE.
In a city that wants to "tax the rich" but turns a blind eye to open criminality and fraud, there is a problem. How can women feel safe knowing criminals arrested for assault are set free on the streets?
This isn’t about left or right, it’s about what is against the law. We all work too hard and pay too much in taxes for others to break our laws and defraud the system. Watch and share!
🚨Carlos Tevez on the most complete player between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo:
🗣️ “I’ve been fortunate enough to share dressing rooms and battles with both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, and that gives me a very clear perspective on what each of them brings to the game. People often talk about talent, goals, or moments but when you speak about the most complete player, you have to look at everything: physicality, mentality, consistency, and adaptability.”
“For me, Ronaldo edges that category. Not because Messi lacks anything, but because Ronaldo has built himself into a player who can dominate in every possible way. I’ve seen him in England, Spain, and Italy, and he was decisive everywhere. Different leagues, different systems, different teammates — same result.”
“In England at Manchester United, he learned discipline and end product. In Spain at Real Madrid, he became a goal machine under pressure every single week. In Italy with Juventus, he adapted again, leading the attack in a more physical, tactical environment. That ability to change and still be the main man is what makes him complete.”
“With Messi, what you get is something different — pure genius, unmatched creativity, and control in tight spaces. He makes the game look like it’s happening in slow motion. But Ronaldo brings something else: power, aerial ability, both feet, leadership, and a mentality that refuses to drop regardless of situation.”
“Having played with both, I can say this clearly Messi is the most gifted player I’ve ever seen, but Ronaldo is the most complete footballer I’ve ever shared a pitch with.”
