🚨🇧🇷 Ronaldo Nazário on the difference between prime Brazil and today's Brazil:
"Today's players are like crying babies. In our time, football was pure passion. We weren't focused on fashion, social media, or building a personal brand. Our lives revolved around football. We trained hard, played through pain, and gave everything for the badge, our teammates, and the fans."
"We didn't step onto the pitch thinking about followers or sponsorships. We thought about winning, making Brazil proud, and leaving everything on the field. Football came first, and everything else was secondary."
"In our era, every nation feared Brazil. Opponents were beaten before the match even started because they knew they were facing Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Cafu, Roberto Carlos and so many world-class players. Today, that fear factor is gone."
"That hunger, sacrifice, and obsession with the game is what made our generation special. We lived football every single day."
I'mRonaldo Nazário on the importance of Neymar after Brazil's disappointing performance against Morocco national football team:
🗣️ “After watching that match, I don't want to hear anyone say Brazil don't need Neymar. The game exposed exactly why he remains one of the most important players this country has produced.
When Brazil were struggling, who was demanding the ball? Who was slowing the game down when it became chaotic? Who was capable of creating something from absolutely nothing? Those are the questions people should be asking.
For years, people focused on Neymar's goals, skills, and headlines. What they failed to appreciate was the responsibility he carries. When things go wrong, Brazil naturally look towards him.
Against Morocco, Brazil looked like a team with talent but without a clear reference point. There was no player consistently taking control of the rhythm, no player forcing the opposition to change their plan.
I'm not saying Neymar would have magically solved every problem. Football doesn't work like that. But I am saying Morocco would have been thinking about him every second they were on the pitch.
That's the difference between a great player and a special player. One plays the game. The other changes how the entire game is played around him.
And after what I watched, one thing became very clear: Brazil have many talented players. But they still don't have another Neymar.”
Desde que el presidente Donald Trump cerró el programa de financiamiento USAID, ningún país en Latinoamérica ha vuelto a ganar elecciones un líder de izquierda, se acabaron las caravanas de migrantes y los “estallidos sociales”.
¿Se dieron cuenta de esto?.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Sec. Marco Rubio just OBLITERATED Sen. Rosen (D)'s lies
ROSEN: You were at a PARTY instead of helping JD Vance negotiate with Iran!
RUBIO: "You don't know what you're TALKING ABOUT! I know your staff wrote up this CUTE statement for TikTok, but it's NOT TRUE. And it's not real. That's NOT what happened."
"I was not at a party. If people are going to SLANDER me. I'm going to answer it!"
"You're 100% inaccurate and 100% wrong. Here's why. Number one, the vice president of the United States was there...Mr. Witkoff, the president's envoy, and Mr. Kushner, were the team [Trump] sent to Pakistan. I was NOT at a party. I was next to the PRESIDENT."
"Because in the midst of those negotiations, I was in communications with them. And in fact, I think there is media reporting from that evening on how multiple occasions I went into a back room. I came back out and spoke to the president and was constantly updating him."
"On that evening, I spoke to Mr. Kushner and our negotiating team and Mr. Witkoff on at least SIX occasions, including twice on a secure line from the phone they had access to over there!"
"I'm the national security advisor and secretary of state. I was co-located with the president in the midst of a high stakes negotiation so that I could immediately inform him about events occurring halfway around the world."
"I was where I needed to be at that moment because we had a very capable team on the ground in Pakistan, led by the vice president, led by the vice president of the United States."

Bold stuff here, Pat. It’s weird though… I can’t find even one story or tweet from you questioning why Steve Kerr spoke at the DNC in 2024. Regardless, looking forward to you hammering John Harbaugh and Lawrence Taylor over their political preferences…
