Zlatan Ibrahimović on Lionel Messi missing a penalty and then scoring a stunning banger minutes later against Austria:

🗣️ “First he misses a penalty… most players disappear after that. Most players hide, most players think too much, most players feel the pressure. But Messi is not most players.”

“I was watching the moment he stepped up, and I thought okay, even the best can fail. But what happens next is what separates ordinary from legendary.”

“He doesn’t argue, he doesn’t panic, he doesn’t look for excuses. He just waits… and then he responds in the only language football understands.”

“Minutes later, he gets the ball again outside the box. One touch, no hesitation, and then boom… a goal that looks like it was drawn by football itself. That is not recovery that is domination.”

“What people don’t understand is that missing a penalty can destroy a game mentally. But for him, it feels like it wakes something up. Like he needed the mistake to unlock something bigger.”

“I’ve seen many players try to bounce back after pressure moments. But what he did is not bouncing back… it’s flipping the whole story of the match.”

“A penalty miss becomes a highlight… and then the highlight becomes forgotten because the next goal is even better. That is not normal football.”

“This is why I always say there are players who play the game, and then there are players who rewrite it while it is still happening.”

“And Messi… he doesn’t just answer pressure. He humiliates it.

🚨🎙️ ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIĆ ON LIONEL MESSI'S INFLUENCE ON ARGENTINA AFTER THEIR WIN OVER AUSTRIA:

“I'm obsessed with watching Messi.

Not because he's my friend.

Not because of nostalgia.

Because after all these years, I'm still trying to understand how one player can control a football match without touching the ball every minute.

I watched Argentina today and the first thing I noticed wasn't the scoreline.

It was the way Austria reacted whenever Messi moved.

One step to the left, defenders follow.

One drop into midfield, the entire shape changes.

One glance over his shoulder panic.

That's not football.

That's psychological warfare.

And that's why I laugh when people reduce him to goals and assists.

They don't understand what they're watching.

Messi isn't just Argentina's best player.

He's Argentina's system.

He's their confidence.

He's their belief.

He's the reason every teammate walks onto the pitch thinking the impossible is possible.

People ask me about the GOAT debate.

What debate?
Seriously.

What debate?

For me, there isn't one.

The debate exists because television needs content and social media needs arguments.

When I watch football, I don't see a debate.

I see Messi.

Then I see everybody else.

That doesn't mean other legends weren't incredible.

It means I've never seen another player influence a match, a team and an entire generation of football the way Messi has.

And today was another reminder.

He didn't need a hat-trick.

He didn't need to score from 40 yards.

He just needed to be Lionel Messi.

And suddenly Argentina looked like a completely different team.

That's greatness.

Not when everything depends on you.

When everybody becomes better because you're there.

I've played against great players.

I've played with great players.

But Messi is the only player I've ever watched and genuinely thought:

'This isn't normal.'

The scary thing?

Opponents know exactly what he's going to do.

And they still can't stop it.

That's why I don't waste my time with comparisons anymore.

Some players become legends.

Some players become icons.

Messi became a category of his own.

And after today's performance, if you're still asking me who the greatest footballer of all time is...

You're asking the wrong question.

The right question is:
Will football ever produce another one like him?”

There are good reasons for this Jim. It is all Fugazi. How to make tens of $billions worth of $NVDA GPUs disappear from balance sheets in 8-12 byzantine stepspvs.

[Bull Theory @BullTheoryio]

🚨Michael Burry just said Elon Musk and Nvidia's deal is built on fake numbers.

Burry published a detailed breakdown calling the entire structure "Fugazi", his word for fake.

He is alleging that billions of dollars in Nvidia chips are being hidden off balance sheets, and that American retirees are unknowingly funding the whole thing.

Nvidia, the world's largest AI chip company sold $5.4 billion worth of its most advanced GPUs, the GB200, to a company called Valor.

Valor is not a real operating business. It is a special purpose vehicle, a shell company created specifically to hold these chips and nothing else. Nvidia also invested $1.9 billion of its own money directly into Valor on top of the sale.

Those 100,000+ chips are now physically inside xAI's data center. xAI is Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company, the one that builds Grok. xAI is using every single one of those chips right now to run its AI models.

But here is what Burry is flagging.

Neither Nvidia nor xAI owns those chips on paper. Valor, the shell company holds legal title. That means $5.4 billion in GPU assets do not show up on Nvidia's balance sheet as inventory.

They do not show up on xAI's balance sheet as assets. They are legally invisible to both companies.

Nvidia gets to book the $5.4 billion as a completed sale and record it as revenue. xAI gets full use of the chips without owning them. And the risk disappears into a shell company in the middle.

Now here is where American retirees enter the picture.

Valor needed $3.5 billion in debt to fund this structure. Apollo provided it. Apollo is one of the largest asset managers on earth with $1.03 trillion under management and $834 billion specifically in private credit.

Apollo raised the $3.5 billion, packaged it into debt securities, and sold those securities to Athene.

Athene is Apollo's own insurance company. It sells fixed and indexed annuities, retirement savings products, to ordinary Americans.

When a retiree buys an Athene annuity, they believe their money is sitting in safe, stable investments. That money is now inside a structure funding Elon Musk's AI data center.

The numbers inside Athene are most alarming.

Athene holds $74.2 billion in reserves. It has moved $217 billion in assets into a captive insurer based in Bermuda, meaning those assets sit outside normal US insurance regulation and oversight.

Of the entire portfolio, 34.7%, equal to $103 billion, is classified as Level 3 assets.

Level 3 is an accounting classification that means there is no observable market price for these assets. No outside party can independently verify what they are actually worth.

The leverage sitting on top of those unpriced assets is 16 times.

Burry's says:
Every step of this structure is technically legal and publicly disclosed. But the entire thing was deliberately engineered across 8 to 12 steps to move credit risk off balance sheets and away from any market pricing.

- Nvidia books the revenue.
- Apollo collects the fees.
- xAI gets the computing power.
- And retirees sitting at the bottom of a 16x leveraged Bermuda insurance structure, holding $103 billion in assets with no market price carry the risk without knowing it exists.

They follow the growth of milkweed, laying eggs along the way. Each generation lives only a few weeks, but the migration continues through those that follow.

This will surely go down at one of the all-time iconic images of human space exploration.

I was listening to the live feed last night and the astronaunts not really having the words to describe the view - and i can well understand why after seeing this incredible image.

Four other planets are also in shot. Neptune is mid-way between Saturn and Mars but too faint to be seen.

On the Earthshine illuminated portion of the moon several prominent craters are seen. Just below centre is Humboldt, while just above about half visible is the edge of Mare Smythii. Both these areas can just about be seen from Earth during favourable lunar librations of that area.

🚨 Artemis II’s BIGGEST milestones are tomorrow. Here’s when they’ll happen:

📍1:56 PM ET (1756 UTC) Crew surpasses the Apollo 13 distance record

📍2:45 PM ET (1845 UTC) Lunar observation period begins

📍6:47 PM ET (2247 UTC) Loss of signal expected as Orion heads behind the Moon (~40 min)

📍7:02 PM ET (2302 UTC) Closest approach to the Moon

📍7:05 PM ET (2305 UTC) Orion reaches its furthest point from Earth

Tomorrow is going to be HISTORIC!

[Physics & Astronomy Zone @zone_astronomy]

To think that we aren't just going "to the Moon," but rather traveling to meet it at an exact point in space... changes everything.
​It all comes down to orbital mechanics: arriving at the precise location, at the precise moment.
​One tiny error... and it simply doesn't happen
