Zinedine Zidane on 🇦🇷 Argentina eliminating Egypt and reaching the World Cup quarter-finals after an incredible comeback from 0-2 under Lionel Messi’s leadership:
🗣️ “This is what legends do. When Argentina were 2-0 down, when the world thought they were finished, they found something inside themselves that only great teams possess. They showed heart, character, and the mentality of champions. They refused to accept defeat.”
“Lionel Messi once again showed why he is a player from another level. Leadership is not only about scoring goals—it is about inspiring belief when everything looks impossible. His presence, his mentality, and his ability to lift his teammates changed the entire game. Argentina followed their captain into battle, and they created a night they will never forget.”
“Egypt deserve enormous respect. They pushed Argentina to their absolute limit and showed incredible courage. But this is the cruelty and beauty of football. One moment can decide everything, and Argentina found those moments when their backs were against the wall.”
“Coming back from 0-2 in a World Cup knockout match is not just a victory—it is a statement. Argentina have shown the world that champions are not the teams that never suffer; they are the teams that suffer, fight, and rise again. Tonight belongs to Messi, to Argentina, and to a team that refused to let their dream die.”

Ayer fui invitado a comer por el presidente Milei en Olivos, en agradecimiento por el apoyo que le di en la semana más difícil de su gobierno antes de las elecciones. En el encuentro hablamos sobre los temas pendientes. La idea era pensar la mejor manera de reforzar los equipos y prepararse para esta segunda etapa, pero no logramos ponernos de acuerdo.
La salida de un hombre con capacidad y equilibrio como Guillermo Francos, que para la ciudadanía representaba sensatez, para ser reemplazado por otro sin experiencia, no parece ser una buena noticia. Como le mencioné, existía la posibilidad de reemplazar a Francos por otra persona idónea de su equipo, con un perfil más técnico y mayor capacidad de conducción y coordinación de equipos, como Horacio Marín, actual presidente de YPF, que reúne todas las condiciones por su experiencia previa.
El jefe de Gabinete de Ministros es una figura esencial: coordina los equipos políticos y de gestión en torno a una agenda y una estrategia.
A esta decisión a mi juicio desacertada, se suma la falta de resolución de las conocidas disputas internas del gobierno, claves en la hoja de ruta del futuro.
Lamento esta situación porque, tras el esfuerzo realizado, la revalidación de la gente en las urnas y el apoyo inédito de Estados Unidos, el país se encuentra frente a una oportunidad histórica que no puede desaprovechar.
Como el presidente ha dicho públicamente, yo no he pedido ni pediré nada a título personal, pero me veo obligado a hacer mi aporte y a expresar mis preocupaciones porque nos une el futuro del país.
ALS is taking my body. It shouldn't also take my money.
5 months ago @binance's Face ID stopped recognizing me because the disease changed my face. Their response: nothing. No accessible alternative for users with disabilities.
This is what happens when a platform moving billions treats accessibility as optional. Shame on you, @binance. @_RichardTeng, @cz_binance
Ecuadorian Cuisine 🇪🇨 https://t.co/HBhkxpW9ep
The national diet revolves around a singular obsession: soup as a source of kinetic energy rather than a mere appetizer. The coastal morning ritual centers on Encebollado, a broth of fresh albacore tuna and yuca root. Locals consume it strictly before noon, believing the heavy onion-fish combination cures hangovers and fuels manual labor.
Unlike its Andean neighbors, Ecuador’s flavor profile relies heavily on Maní (peanuts). This ingredient thickens coastal stews like Viche and Cazuela, creating a rich, creamy consistency distinct from the acidic, clear broths of Peru. In Manabí, roasted peanut paste and cilantro form Salprieta, a condiment dusted over almost every savory dish to add an earthy depth.
In the highlands, the culinary architecture shifts to pork. Hornado vendors roast whole pigs marinated in chicha (fermented corn beer) for days. The service is ritualistic: the meat must be accompanied by Agrio—a sweet and sour sauce made from tamarillo and brown sugar—and Llapingachos, cheese-filled potato patties fried in lard until they develop a crust that cracks under a fork.

Ellos no se conocen, pero ambos decidieron escuchar los penales de la Final del Mundial, por RADIO y enfrente de la VIRGEN.
Así terminaron festejando, a puro abrazo, y llorando juntos.
“Nunca me voy a olvidar de vos”, ufff. 🥹🇦🇷
