Enough is enough. We’ve reached a point where it feels like anything people say about Argentina will go viral. No one can convince me that everything I’m seeing isn’t driven, at least in part, by chasing engagement.
It’s somehow Argentina’s fault that a clear penalty wasn’t given to them tonight, but no one wants to talk about that because it doesn’t generate interactions.
It’s Argentina’s fault that Portugal didn’t finish top of their group, and that neither Uruguay nor Spain managed to beat Cape Verde.
It’s Argentina’s fault that people keep spamming Messi’s out-of-context tackle against Algeria, while much harsher challenges have gone unpunished throughout this World Cup.
It’s Argentina’s fault that a Cape Verde player dove when Paredes didn’t even touch him, but that doesn’t fit the narrative people want.
We’ve seen terrible VAR decisions and far more controversial incidents throughout this World Cup, yet they barely get any attention because they don’t involve Argentina.
Everything is Argentina’s fault. I've never seen anything like this.
Soccer would not exist without immigrants. Immigrants play and coach the game, work in the stadiums, fill the stands, and make celebrations like the World Cup possible. Six of the players on the US Men's National Team are immigrants.
We will not allow ICE or anyone else to sow fear in our communities — especially at this moment. As the world comes to our city, we will stand proudly with our immigrant neighbors and reject these attacks for what they are: an attempt to divide us.
If I remember correctly, Atleti have never even touched a Champions League trophy, haven’t won the Copa del Rey since 2013, have a grand total of two La Liga titles in the 21st century and currently trailing Barcelona by 22 points in La Liga and are even behind Villarreal.
Your biggest achievement in the last decade has been “beating Barcelona” and that too after spending like 350m in the last two seasons compared to Barça’s 88m.
