A los argentinos cuando Maradona metió un gol con la mano no les pareció sospechoso. Cuando los argentinos le dieron agua con somníferos a Brasil no les pareció raro. Cuando su dictadura robó el mundial de 1978 todo estaba bien. Los 5 penaltis en 7 partidos de Qatar tampoco les pareció sospechoso. No les pareció sospechoso robarle a Egipto o a Suiza. Pero perder una final en la que tiraron 0 veces en 120 minutos les esta pareciendo un robo y todo muy conspiranoico. Te tienes que reír 😆
Imagine being a Spanish conquistador or Portuguese explorer in the 16th century.
You round up a few hundred guys.
Veterans of the Italian wars or the Reconquista. Disinherited lesser nobles. Battle-hardened mercenaries.
Tell them you're sailing to an unknown part of the world.
You might not be able to pay them now, but if they survive and win they will become lords of a new colony.
You endure sea voyages lasting months and end up in some exotic tropical island in the Caribbean, or an endless jungle in South America, or the monsoon-wracked coastline of India.
You have to fight battles against hordes of enemies, outnumbered 5 to 1. Or 10 to 1. Or 30 to 1. Doesn't matter. As long as your men hold the line and remember their training with pike, musket and sword you will probably win.
You have to be an expert diplomat and make alliances with local chieftains.
You have to conjure up supplies out of thin air.
You have to keep your men encouraged in horrific conditions. Pray the rosary. Recite the Psalms.
Half your men die of disease.
Another quarter or more in battle.
But those few survivors, tough as nails, now end up with statues in their honour in far flung corners of the globe and maybe granted a royal reception back home.
They're rich, they've won honour for the nation. Probably converted a few thousand people to Catholicism as a byproduct of conquest.
Place names and country names change because of them. Coins minted with their faces.
Is there an equivalent to this in the modern age?
A suposta "melhor seleção desde o Brasil de 70" foi facilmente massacrada pela Espanha no primeiro desafio realmente sério que ela enfrentou.
E ninguém deveria se surpreender com isso. O hype da seleção francesa tinha muito de projeto ideológico e propaganda política por trás.
Esqueçam Direita ou Esquerda. O que vai mudar para sempre o Brasil será a aprovação da lei de misoginia. Ela vai destruir empresas, hospitais, escolas, negócios familiares e a cultura. O tal Protocolo de Perspectiva de Gênero foi o 1º episódio da implantação de uma “ditadura de gênero” que vai jogar a sociedade brasileira e as relações sociais do país num abismo.
@PamphletsY "hand of god" "holy water". Sounds like good old CIA Pentecostalism where you credit God for everything you do in your life including theft and fraud and avoid any responsibility
O maior injustiçado da história do futebol brasileiro. Lesões, mídia maldita, companheiros frouxos e pernas de pau. Neymar entra no mesmo rol de Zico, reis sem coroa.
nunca imaginei que uma eliminação de Seleção Brasileira na Copa do Mundo faria o povo CLAMAR pela volta do CATOLICISMO como moldador do tecido social geral
dito isso, repudiem a heresia, abracem a TRADIÇÃO
The decline of the Brazilian national team is due to the heavy commercialization of the game which means that Brazilian players become generic and often second-rate European players at a very early stage, and never develop a “Brazilian” style
Brazil was better when their players were womanizers, drunkards and slightly out of shape. In other words, when they were behaving like Catholics— letting the power of friendship and good fun do the heavy lifting.
Evangelical Protestant sterilization has flattened their ball, ruined their samba, and obliterated their swag.
World historic aura loss.
Mbappe is disgusting. Absolutely classless. Orlando Gill who had a breakout tournament goes for a handshake after the game and Mbappe completely ignores him.
Stay classy Mbaputa.
