❤️🇨🇻 ¡¡NO PERDISTE NADA, CABO VERDE… TE GANASTE EL RESPETO DEL MUNDO ENTERO!!
El pitazo final los encontró de rodillas, entre lágrimas y con el corazón roto. Sabían que habían estado a un paso de lograr el milagro. Cayeron 3-2 en la prórroga ante la tricampeona del mundo, pero se marcharon con la frente en alto y el orgullo de haber protagonizado una de las historias más inolvidables de esta Copa del Mundo.
Era su PRIMER MUNDIAL. Muchos los daban por eliminados antes de empezar. Sin embargo, una selección valorada en apenas 60 millones de dólares llevó al límite a una Argentina que supera los 1.000 millones en valor de mercado. La obligó a jugar tiempos extra, la encerró por momentos en su propia área y estuvo a centímetros de firmar una de las mayores hazañas que se recuerden en la historia de los Mundiales.
Un país de apenas 500.000 habitantes hizo temblar a uno de los gigantes del fútbol. Vozinha, con 40 años, firmó una actuación legendaria. Sus compañeros corrieron cada pelota como si fuera la última de sus vidas. Nunca jugaron con miedo. Jugaron con convicción, con orgullo y con el corazón.
No levantarán la Copa del Mundo, pero consiguieron algo que muy pocos logran: conquistar la admiración de millones de personas. Hoy, Cabo Verde dejó de ser una selección desconocida para convertirse en el equipo que enamoró al planeta con su entrega, su valentía y su fe.
El fútbol no siempre recompensa con títulos. A veces recompensa con algo todavía más grande: el respeto eterno.
👏❤️ GRACIAS POR HACERNOS CREER, CABO VERDE. EL MUNDO ENTERO TE APLAUDE. 🇨🇻
Zlatan Ibrahimović on Argentina qualifying for the FIFA World Cup Round of 16 after an epic battle against Cape Verde:
🗣️ “What a football match. Argentina are through, but don't let the final result fool you they were pushed to their absolute limit by a Cape Verde team that refused to surrender.
Champions survive nights like these. When the pressure was at its highest, Argentina found a way, but Cape Verde made them earn every single second of that qualification. They didn't lose with fear—they fought with pride, courage and belief until the very last whistle.
I want every Cape Verde player to walk off that pitch with their heads held high. A nation of around 500,000 people stood toe-to-toe with one of football's greatest giants and made the entire world believe an upset was possible. That's the kind of performance that wins respect forever.
Argentina may celebrate tonight, and they deserve to, but they also know they've escaped one of the toughest tests of this World Cup. Cape Verde didn't just challenge them—they shook them, frightened them and forced them to dig deeper than anyone expected.
This is why we love football. One nation marches on with dreams of lifting the trophy, while another leaves with broken hearts but the admiration of millions. Cape Verde may be out, but they leave this World Cup as heroes. Argentina are through... but they'll never forget the fight they were given.”
🚨 BREAKING:
Spain has officially banned entry to its territory for all individuals directly involved in the genocide, human rights violations, and war crimes in Gaza.
Conor McGregor says he's "ready for any outcome" against Max Holloway 👀
"I feel absolutely amazing. The work has been exceptional. No corners cut. We've been quiet this camp, and we've been at work. That's confidence. There's a lack of confidence if you need to share things or get an ego boost. We don't need it. We'll do it on the night.
Danger will be everywhere inside the octagon for Max. We are well aware of him in this gym. I don't care [if he's improved].
I wont overestimate any opponent. I will be ready for any outcome. If it is a war of attrition, bring it. I'll be out with my paintbrush, ready to put on my masterpiece."

🚨🇺🇸 Donald Trump: "We will cut off our trade relations with Spain for the sake of Israel."
🚨🇪🇸 Pedro Sánchez: "There are things more precious than money, such as human life. We will not be part of a war that kills women, children, and the elderly."
Poor Iran… my god. I just realised how utterly brutal this World Cup has been for them.
Think about it:
They thought they’d scored a last-minute winner against Egypt to send themselves through… only for it to be ruled out.
Then, today, they thought they’d made it anyway as one of the best third-placed teams when Algeria scored with second left, only for Austria to level it with virtually the last kick of the game.
I can’t even begin to comprehend the heartbreak. TWICE.
Yesterday, Israel and Lebanon signed an agreement for the first time in 43 years for "peace"
Today, Israel has bombed Lebanon 5 times.
There is NEVER peace with Israel.
Siento que el 99% de televidentes no es consciente de que los jugadores iraníes tuvieron que DORMIR EN OTRO PAÍS porque EEUU no les permite pernoctar y ni aún así lograron descalificarlos del todo. Ni Hitler en los JJOO de Berlín 1936 había sido tan antideportivo.
How does a lonely penguin or rejected monkey break the internet, while a starving baby in Gaza barely gets noticed? No child deserves to starve or be killed.
To everyone who's upset that trump's name was removed from the Kennedy center i would like to point out that you can find his name mentioned more than 30 thousand times in the epstein files 👍
Thierry Henry on the VAR decision that denied Iran a last-minute winner against Egypt:
🗣️ “I genuinely feel sick for the Iranian players. They believed they had written one of the greatest moments in their country's football history, only for it to be ripped away in seconds. That's a pain no footballer should experience.”
“You cannot ask players to give everything for ninety minutes and then allow a decision like this to define their World Cup. If VAR is overturning goals of this magnitude, it has to be absolutely flawless. There is no room for doubt.”
“Look at the faces of the players, look at the supporters in the stands. Those weren't just tears over a goal—they were tears over a dream that disappeared in an instant. That's what makes this so heartbreaking.”
“This isn't just about Iran anymore. Every nation at this World Cup should be worried because if a moment like this can happen on football's biggest stage, it can happen to anyone. That's a frightening thought.”
“The officials will move on to the next game, but the Iranian players and their supporters will carry this moment for the rest of their lives. Some scars in football never truly heal.”
“If that decision was wrong, then football has failed Iran. A World Cup should be remembered for unforgettable goals and heroic performances not for a controversy that leaves millions wondering what might have been.”
Even if you don’t live in NYC, please retweet this and get the word out so that the ppl in YOUR city also learn that they too can have politicians who get things done if they mobilize and vote socialist in other elections! 🗣️
Lo diré una vez más:
Los nazis no llegaron tan lejos nunca, sentían vergüenza de lo que hacían en los crematorios y trataban de ocultarlo al mundo.
Los israelíes no.
