Marcelo Bielsa: “Jugar cuatro tiempos en lugar de dos altera la concepción que culturalmente se había construido para interpretar el fútbol. No le agrega nada y le quita mucho. Cuando se dividió en cuatro no se pensó en el efecto que puede tener sobre lo que hizo que el fútbol sea un deporte que enamora, sino que se pensó en otro tipo de repercusiones que no las discuto ni las analizo. Antes de esta decisión el fútbol tenía una característica; ahora tiene otra. La gente se enamora del juego por sus características”.
This is the dumbest tweet ever written by an American, an astonishing achievement given the depth of competition for that accolade.
It's hard to know where to even start.
I'll go from the top and try wade through it, to arrive at where the focus should already be. /1
One thing really bugs me about this Nigel Farage £5 million donation.
He and Reform were complaining in October 2025 that state funding of security had been cut and they were having to seek financial cover for security from donors.
"Reform UK leader Nigel Farage's publicly-funded security detail has been cut by 75%, the party's head of policy has claimed."

Farage received the £5 million donation in early 2024 BEFORE he became MP and before the firework attack on his empty home.
"Farage received £5m from donor before he became MP"

So why was he seeking state-funded security in 2025 when he had been given a £5 million donation for security in 2024?
Why was he bemoaning a cut in state funding of security when he was already supposedly paying his security with this large donation?
Either his security was paid in which case he didn't need the state funding or he was claiming state funding whilst he had the money for security meaning that the money clearly wasn't for security?
He can't have it both ways.
I see Farage has been referred to the standards watchdog over his £5m grift. It would be a shame if everyone was talking about just before Thursday’s elections.
