🚨🗣️NEW: Thierry Henry on FIFA’s new mouth-covering red card rule: as Almiron was given a red card for covering his mouth in the game between Paraguay and Turkey:
“I understand why football wants to fight discrimination. Nobody disagrees with that. But when you start handing out straight red cards because a player covered his mouth while speaking, you’ve crossed into dangerous territory.
“This is exactly what I feared football was becoming, a game played by robots, policed by suits who’ve never felt the heat of a tackle or the fire of a 50-50. Miguel Almirón gets sent off for covering his mouth? In a World Cup? FIFA calls it progress. I call it the slow death of the sport we love.
Football was built on emotion, confrontation, mind games, personality. Now we’re acting as if every private word exchanged on a pitch is a matter for a courtroom investigation. The game is starting to feel less like football and more like a surveillance project.
The Miguel Almirón incident is exactly why people are uncomfortable. We don’t even know what was said, yet the punishment arrives before the evidence. Since when did covering your mouth become a crime worthy of expulsion? If that’s the standard, we’re no longer judging actions—we’re judging suspicion.
What worries me most is the precedent. Today it’s covering your mouth. Tomorrow what is it? A sarcastic comment? A heated argument? Football has always been a pressure cooker. If you remove every ounce of fire, don’t be surprised when the sport loses part of its soul.
And let’s be honest, would the legends of previous generations survive in this environment? Maradona, Keane, Pepe, half the icons people celebrate today would spend more time explaining themselves to officials than actually playing. The game that once rewarded personality now seems obsessed with policing it.
The irony is that football claims to want authenticity, yet it keeps creating rules that encourage players to become robots. Fans don’t fall in love with robots. They fall in love with characters, rivalries, passion and drama.
This rule may have been created with good intentions, but good intentions don’t automatically make good rules. Right now, it feels like football is trying to put a lid on a boiling pot instead of understanding why it boils in the first place.”
🚨🗣️ Zlatan Ibrahimović Reacts to the World Cup Drama between Turkey and Paraguay:
On the new "Vinícius Law" and Miguel Almirón's red card:
🗣️ "They are calling it the 'Vinícius Law', sending players to the dressing room just for putting a shirt over their mouth during an argument. When Zlatan played, defenders covered their mouths because they were terrified I would eat them alive! Now, the referees and IFAB are trying to police words they cannot even hear. If an opponent provokes you, you do not need an official in an office in Canada to protect you with a new rule. You put the ball in the top corner and make them quiet. That is the real punishment."
On Paraguay's heroic 10-man performance:
🗣️ "Everyone is crying about the referee and the monitor, but they are completely missing the real miracle. Paraguay loses Miguel Almirón in the third minute of first-half stoppage time because of this ridiculous rule. They have to play the entire second half with 10 men against a Turkish team full of talent. Did they give up? No. They defended like absolute lions. You can create all the modern regulations you want, but you cannot legislate heart. A lion with a disadvantage is still a lion, and Paraguay showed the world what it means to be a warrior."
On the early goal and Turkey's elimination:
🗣️ "You have to respect what Paraguay did from the first whistle. Julio Enciso makes a play, Matías Galarza scores in the second minute, and then they decide they will die on the pitch before they surrender that lead. Turkey had a whole half to break down 10 men and couldn't do it, and now they are flying home. Tactics are for philosophers; surviving a World Cup match against all odds is for men. Today, Paraguay was a team of 10 men with the spirit of 100."

A Pablo Benegas deberían imputarle también por ese tema horrible que tanto le gusta a ustedes y que por suerte siempre odie.
Como odio ese tema. Una tortura me parecía cada vez que alguien agarra una guitarra y canta soy piriguiyi... cómo odio.
Expertos de @SomosAGROSAVIA visitaron Ecuador en el marco del Proyecto de fortalecimiento de capacidades de vigilancia, diagnóstico y prevención de Fusarium Raza 4 Tropical.

El mayor logro de Harrison es albiroga? "Centro de Alto Rendimiento Deportivo y Educativo" donde lo que menos hay es rendimiento y educación, sin fútbol ni mentalidad. Es un lugar de lujo que creó señoritos del fútbol, donde vienen a vacacionar y ser servidos. Vuelvan al fango.

A 200 metros de la municipalidad de Asunción.
Cuando tomé la primera, esa hoja ya estaba colgada por meses y sigue.
Quien se hace cargo de estas cosas? Un ciudadano a pie arriesgándose a ser electrocutado? O los servicios municipales?

People ask me how the Panama disease looks like and if it affects fruits and hence humans (short answer: NO)
Fusarium wilt of bananas (#PanamaDisease) kills banana plants. It is caused by the soil-borne fungus #Fusarium.
This is a sick banana in the field (Phil)

Post de apreciación de los tajy, nuestro árbol más querido, icónico y característico.
Esta semana estamos todos así, y es un buen momento para hablar de la fascinación por los tajy rosados en floración.
Porqué ocurre en simultáneo?
Qué tiene que ver San Juan con esto?
[HILO]
Así es que los tajy rosados probablemente han desarrollado un mecanismo sensor para florecer en cuanto los días comienzan a alargarse, así producir semillas y que la especie pueda sobrevivir el invierno. Casi todas florecen juntas cuando detectan el cambio de fotoperiodo
