إهداء لكل واحد اختار الإنبطا ح

الحكم الإنجليزي مارك هالسي عن مهزلة مباراة مصر والأرجنتين :

“الآن، كما نعلم، ووفقًا لبروتوكول المجلس الدولي لكرة القدم (IFAB)، تتم مراجعة جميع الأهداف.

الهدف الثاني الذي سجله منتخب مصر عن طريق زيكو… يا له من هدف رائع.

لكننا رأينا هذا الهدف يُلغى بعد أن عاد حكم الفيديو إلى لقطة سابقة بداعي وجود مخالفة على مارتينيز.

ومن الناحية القانونية، هذا صحيح، لأن تقنية VAR يحق لها مراجعة اللعبة ابتداءً من تلك اللحظة، طالما أنها ضمن نفس مرحلة الهجمة.

لكن السؤال هو: هل كانت الحالة تستحق بالفعل تدخل تقنية VAR؟ وهل كان هناك خطأ واضح وجلي يستوجب هذا التدخل؟

بالنسبة لي، أقول: لا.

ومع ذلك، تدخلت التقنية، وطلبت من الحكم مراجعة اللقطة على الشاشة، وفي النهاية احتُسبت مخالفة لصالح الأرجنتين، وأُلغي الهدف.

وهنا تكمن المشكلة بالنسبة لي، وهي عدم الاتساق في تطبيق التقنية.

ففي لقطة أخرى، تقدم صلاح إلى داخل منطقة الجزاء، وتعرض لعرقلة من مدافع أرجنتيني، ثم انطلقت الأرجنتين في الهجمة التالية وسجلت الهدف الثالث لتصبح النتيجة 3-2.

إذا كنتم قد ألغيتُم هدف زيكو بسبب التدخل على مارتينيز، باعتباره مخالفة على اللاعب الأرجنتيني، فمن المفترض أن يُطبَّق المعيار نفسه تمامًا على لقطة صلاح. إن الحالتين متشابهتان.

إذًا، لماذا لم تتدخل تقنية VAR في لقطة صلاح؟

لأنه لو تدخلت، لكان يجب احتساب ركلة جزاء لمصر.

وهنا تحديدًا يظهر عدم الاتساق.

الفيفا يتحدث عن اخطاء طاقم التحكيم الفرنسي
وانهو بعد التحقق ومراجعة المبارة اتضح ان هناك
١٣ مخالفة على منتخب الارجنتين لم تحصل على كروت صفراء وان منتخب مصر حصل على عدة بطاقات صفراء
وهذا ما جعل الفيفا توقف الطاقم من اي مبارايات قادمة و يجعل منتخب مصر هو الأفضل في أعين العالم
ولكن هذا لا يغير نتيجة المباراة الغير عادلة😡

The mafia network South African politicians opted for instead of Starlink is basically a vintage Thuraya brick phone.

Imagine forcing an economy onto a network with 600 ms of lag, where you have to point a massive antenna at the sky just to get 12 kbps.

Starlink is literally mastering Low Earth Orbit direct to cell, while the cadres hold back South Africa's technological advancement.

[Willem Petzer @willempet]

In rand terms, crude oil is now cheaper than in February, yet we're paying R7 more per litre than 4 months ago. Here's the scam:

Today, SA fuel levies are 14x higher today than at the height of Apartheid sanctions.

Originally, fuel levies was introduced to build our National highways, and later for SASOL subsidies during sanctions. It was always meant to be phased out.

The new regime decided not to phase it out, as was the original plan, but instead turned it into a permanent cash cow.

Time to expose it. Full story: https://t.co/EqSaleiCe6

[Farai Mazhindu @FaraiMazhindu]

For years, the South African internet defense force aggressively shouted about "sovereignty" and "strict 30% local equity compliance" to keep Starlink out.

Now they've outsourced the entire operation to Space42 in the UAE. It turns out "local empowerment" just means that as long as the investors pay homage to the ANC cadres, no one minds.

The propaganda has completely collapsed. We were told that letting a foreign low-Earth orbit constellation operate directly in South Africa was a threat to local telecoms.

So the state's brilliant countermove is to buy and rebrand bandwidth from a foreign Middle Eastern conglomerate.

The hypocrisy is deafening.
They are heavily celebrating the rollout of Thuraya satellite phones.
In 2026. They are forcing rural South Africans to use bulky, 1990s style bricks that require a clear line of sight to a single distant satellite just to make a voice call.

Meanwhile, Starlink is actively rolling out its global Direct to Cell technology. Starlink allows you to connect a completely unmodified, standard LTE smartphone directly to a satellite from anywhere on Earth.

SA is out here building state backed kiosks for retro satellite hardware while the rest of the world is turning standard mobile phones into satellite receivers.

Then there's the bandwidth joke. Starlink's LEO mesh network sits 550 km above Earth, giving users 200+ Mbps speeds and low-latency gaming and streaming capabilities.

BrainSAT and its partners rely heavily on Geostationary and legacy systems orbiting tens of thousands of kilometers away.

You aren't getting next gen internet, you're getting glorified dial-up with an international premium price tag.

The plot twist is deeply embarrassing for the regime's online praise singers. They spent years defending a digital blockade under the guise of legal purity.

Now they have to pivot to defending a UAE dependent, technically obsolete middleman project just because it has a state logo slapped on the box.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN OF BRITISH FREEDOM!

Good morning to the millions of everyday Brits.

You are probably still asleep after we knocked out the Mexicans last night, but you need to wake up to a terrifying new reality!

It has just leaked that Andy Burnham is quietly preparing to enforce strict new VPN restrictions to stop teenagers bypassing his under-16 social media ban. 🤡

They are trying to spin this as protecting the kids, but here is the absolute nightmare they are hiding from you.

You cannot restrict VPNs just for children.

To enforce this, the state will be forced to ban, monitor, or require a mandatory Digital ID check for every single VPN user in the United Kingdom.

They are literally building a state-controlled internet firewall, copying the exact digital prison models used by China and North Korea.

They want total control over what you are allowed to see, say, and access online so they can completely kill off independent free speech.

We are trading a failed Prime Minister for a high-tech socialist dictatorship.

RT to completely blow up the UK timeline and demand our freedom back! 🔁🇬🇧🔥

🚨🇬🇧 ORWELLIAN NIGHTMARE IN BRITAIN!

🚨 ELON MUSK JUST DELIVERED A SIMPLE TEST FOR SPOTTING AUTHORITARIANISM.

His message was blunt:

"You can tell which side is the good side and which side is the bad side by which side wishes to restrict freedom of speech."

Musk argued that throughout history, authoritarian regimes have relied on censorship because they fear open debate.

His conclusion:

"Ideas should win on the strength of their arguments. They should not win because they are suppressed."

Free speech doesn't protect popular opinions.

It protects the opinions that those in power would rather you never hear

@UTDKobi It's unsportsmanlike like behaviour but that is common in football when you look at diving and players holding up their hands in a yellow card gesture asking refs to give a card. It's up to the officials to stamp it out and they are failing.

[Kobi @UTDKobi]

The ref marked the spot for Paraguay’s free kick, but Miguel Almirón wiped the line away and took it from a completely different position. You can’t tell me the linesmen and 4 official didn’t see that.

This team doesn’t deserve a World Cup spot.

[Stacy is Right @PoliticalStacy]

How do I know media brainwashing is real?

Obama’s ICE Chief received an award for removing over 900,000 illegal aliens.

Trump’s ICE chief was called a Nazi.

It is the same person - Tom Homan.

The difference? What the media told people to believe.

It's absolutely evil what they are doing to these Christians

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

HEARTBREAKING: Her 10-month-old baby was cut in half with a knife in front of her, her husband was shot dead, and she watched them split her second child's skull with a machete. They also cut off one of her hands.

This is life for Christians in Nigeria. The media remains silent.

[Brett Ben Raphael @Brettbenraphael]

Dina Pule, fired over a decade ago for the usual reasons ANC ministers tend to get axed — ethics violations, improper conduct, and misusing public resources — has been reappointed to Cabinet as Minister of Social Development. Business as usual in ANC circles: get caught, get fired, wait it out, then get rewarded again.

[WesternPulse @WesternPulse88]

South Africans. Remember WHO you are. You HELPED fight in the Anglo Boer War. DO NOT LET THE ANC STEAL YOUR IDENTITIES 😭😭
Still at Voortrekker Museum at the Wall of Remembrance. My friends were shocked to find their surnames there on that Wall. They thought it's only white soldiers who fought in Anglo-Boer War, First and Second World War. They didn't expect to see aboMnisi noNkosi in that Wall. It was an eye opener for them and me - Bobo Nkosi
