@observerug Naalya has so many campuses, which one had this tragedy

@NigeriaStories These are Fabricated images
The first one has a man holding a riffle onto the victims foot with blood on the victims toe to show its injured.

But then, the second image has the man holding a riffle, with the injured toe! Pure drama

If Messi is better than Ronaldo because of World Cup then does that make toni Kroos Better than Messi 🤔

🚨🗣️New: Pepe on the controversial officiating decisions in Egypt and Argentina game, Messi and Argentina are being favored:

“Today the whole world watched the same match.

Egypt scored a perfectly good goal, celebrated it, earned it, and then VAR suddenly turned into a time machine. They went so far back looking for a reason to disallow it that I thought they were reviewing the pyramids being built.

That is my first question.

If VAR can travel that far into the past to cancel Egypt’s goal, why could it not travel five seconds into the future when Egypt were screaming for penalties?

Funny, no? One team gets forensic investigation. The other gets silence.

Egypt were leading. Egypt were controlling the game. Egypt were making Argentina uncomfortable. Then came the intervention that changed everything.

The disallowed goal.

The moment that shifted the entire momentum of the match.

And after that? Two penalty appeals. Two. Not one. Two opportunities for the officials to show consistency.

Nothing. No urgency. No transparency. No explanation that convinced anybody.

Then Argentina go down the other end and score the winner.

Football is a game of moments. The referee’s team decided which moments deserved attention and which moments deserved to disappear.

People tell me Argentina showed champion mentality. I agree.

But champion mentality and controversial officiating are not mutually exclusive things, Both can exist at the same time. What I cannot accept is the inconsistency.

When Egypt scored, VAR searched every grain of sand in the desert looking for a foul.

When Egypt asked for penalties, suddenly everybody became blind. That is why the Egyptian bench exploded. That is why cards were flying everywhere. That is why millions of fans left the stadium angry instead of simply disappointed.

Because losing to Argentina is one thing. Feeling like the rules changed depending on who benefited is another.

And this is what football fans hate the most. Not defeat. Not mistakes. Selective scrutiny.

The feeling that one decision was examined with a microscope while another was viewed from outer space.

Maybe Argentina would still have won. Maybe they would not. We will never know. Because the game was not allowed to reach its natural conclusion.

Instead, Egypt leave the World Cup with questions.

Questions about the disallowed goal, Questions about the ignored penalty appeals, Questions about consistency, Questions about why VAR looked like a sword against one team and a shield for another.

And when football leaves people talking more about the officials than the players, that is not a victory for the sport.

That is a failure.

Today Egypt lost 3-2 on the scoreboard.

But the debate over what really happened will win headlines for much longer than Argentina’s comeback.”

@FabrizioRomano With all the credibility we give you Fabrizio, the least way to return a favor is by acknowledging that FIFA robbed Egypt instead of sanitising Broad day robbery with baseless words of historical campaigns.

🚨🎙️Toni Kroos on Portugal's national team:

"First of all, congratulations to Portugal. If the objective was to move on from Cristiano Ronaldo, then you've achieved it."

"For years, people kept saying Cristiano was the reason Portugal struggled. Others claimed the team would be better without him and that there was no difference between Portugal with or without Cristiano. Fine—now the pressure is on them to prove it."

"From this moment, people will judge this team by what they achieve after Cristiano. If they truly believed he was holding them back, then they must go on to win the next European Championship and compete seriously for the next World Cups. That's how football works—you have to back up your words with results."

"We all know Portugal's history before Cristiano Ronaldo, and we all know what he helped the national team achieve during his era. He played a huge role in changing the mentality of Portuguese football and helped deliver the biggest trophies in the country's history."

"What disappointed me wasn't the result—it was the attitude. Throughout the tournament, it often looked like the unity and fight that made this team successful in the past just wasn't there. Everyone watching could see that."

"Now there's no more debate about Cristiano. The spotlight is fully on this generation of players. They'll be judged by what they win from here on, not by what they say. Football always remembers trophies, not excuses."

[Mal @UtdMaI]

Ronaldo is about to face Spain for the 4th time in 6 World Cups: 2006, 2010, 2018, 2026

He has also faced Brazil in 2010, Germany in 2014, and England in 2006.

Meanwhile Messi has played 6 World Cups and still hasn’t faced Spain, England, Brazil, or Italy once.

But we’re supposed to pretend the paths are the same?

[ernest.rio ✿ @ernestrio1]

@poptime I prefer mbappe to him, but this is so interesting.
He's a great player and these tricks just put a smile on my face

[ernest.rio ✿ @ernestrio1]

@Prince_Fynnz I'll pass on this

[SENYO @Senyyo]

VAR detected that OFFSIDE, but couldn't detect that straight RED card for Messi 😳

Isn’t God wonderful? 🤣

@realmilgrauu 78 a ditadura deu a copa pra eles, 86 gol de mão do maradona, 2022 pênaltis em quase todos os jogos

Seleção mais beneficiada da história, tem que avisar o careca que o messi já tem copa e que pode acabar com essa palhaçada aí

[ernest.rio ✿ @ernestrio1]

@GlobalUpdates24 In my country, the entire national team wouldn't fly back home.
They would be arrested and kept in the basement.
You guys are jokers even

[Poliz @RealPoliz]

@WolfRMFC Imagine Messi has never faced countries like England, Spain, Brazil, Italy in the world cup.

[WolfRMFC @WolfRMFC]

Argentina have the EASIEST path in the history of the world cup. I have never seen anything like this before. This cant be luck, there is something else going on.

The way some people talk about their friends when they are not around is the reason most people don’t want friends.
