Funny how Salah hasn't said a single word about the refs, VAR, or FIFA after the match. Just like no Cape Verde player complained after theirs.
Yet the same accounts flooding the timeline with "the World Cup is rigged for Argentina" were completely silent when Modrić openly claimed that VAR and the referees were favouring Portugal.
That tells you everything you need to know. This outrage isn't genuine, it's manufactured. Either by people deliberately pushing an agenda, or new "soccer" fans who've jumped on the latest bandwagon.
الفيفا المونديال ده عمل مؤامرة كبيرة جدا أكبر و أخطر من مؤامرة مونديال 2022
الفيفا المونديال ده متفقوش مع كولو مواني ولا مع الحكام ولا مع لاعيبة هولندا انهم يضيعو ضربات الجزاء
لا ده الفيفا المره دي اتفق مع رونالدو و البرتغال شخصيا انهم يصعدو مركز تاني في المجموعه بعد كولومبيا عشان يروحو في المسار الصعب و يفسحو الطريق و يمهدو لميسي عشان يفوز بكأس العالم تاني

At the 2022 World Cup, Argentina were set to face Brazil in the semi-final. They just needed to beat the Netherlands. FIFA informed the Netherlands that they'd be permitted some drama, but they had to lose by whatever means to Argentina. Argentina led 2-0, pretended to lose concentration and it went to 2-2. But Argentina had been arranged to win anyway.
FIFA quietly informed Brazil that they had to lose to Croatia. That is how Argentina ended up playing Croatia instead. In that game, FIFA instructed Croatia to fold completely. They duly collapsed 3-0.
For the final, FIFA informed France they had to lose by at least two goals. It was becoming too obvious though, so FIFA told the referee to manufacture two penalties for France to make it look competitive.
Kylian Mbappé's hat-trick was authorised. Kolo Muani's one-on-one miss in the final minute of extra time was not an accident. Why do you think France didn't ban him from playing football after that miss? He was wearing a secret earpiece. FIFA called him directly and told him not to score, because a 4-3 France win would have blown the whole operation.
During the penalty shootout, France were permitted to score exactly one of their first three. FIFA did not want Argentina needing a fifth penalty; too much drama, too much risk of someone going off-script.
Africa also had its share of the arrangement. FIFA contacted Portugal and informed them they had to lose to Morocco to guarantee African representation in the semi-finals. Why do you think Cristiano Ronaldo was weeping? He could not believe his own teammates had agreed to the terms.
The evidence is everywhere. You just have to be willing to see it.
90% of problems in Europe are because we are an aged society full of boomers.
Nuclear exit in Germany? Cold war boomers scared of nukes and Chernobyl. No ACs? Boomers worried about the energy cost. Sluggish economy? Boomers opposing capital market pensions because it's "playing casino". Slow energy transition? Boomers complaining that PVs and wind turbines are blocking their view. Nothing ever gets built? NIMBY boomers voting either against it or demanding restrictive regulations on noise/environment/whatever.
It's the main problem modern societies have to solve: How to deal with the fact that the unproductive sectors of society have such overwhelming economic and political power.
counter strike is a beautiful game because it's basically a mixture of chess and gambling. however, low-level play is indistinguishable from a dream where you are punching someone and your fists turn to marshmallows
Here’s what should have happened.
Obama should have asked Russia if these masked men were Russian military.
When Putin shrugged and smirked, “No, not our guys,” the US should have then simply bombed the shit out of them.
