Esta anecdota le va gustar a @RafaeIRamosV. Como contestaron los jefes de la industria de deportes de Los Angeles cuando la FIFA pidio que cubrieran todos los gastos del evento mientras la FIFA se quedaba con todo el dinero.
One of my favorite anecdotes from the build-up to this World Cup, which reveals so much about the collision between FIFA and U.S. cities.
The day a FIFA exec told Los Angeles that LA needed to be “put on the map.”
@TheAthleticFC
be the Arizona Wildcats. Only one championship with lots of hype every tournament and multiple round of 16 losses despite having excellent teams on paper. They haven’t made a semi-final (final four 🙄) since their 2010 championship.
Noooo, Brazil cannot be Duke. In the American continent (except for Argentina) it’s a non-spoken rule that once your team loses, the jersey underneath your National jersey is the Brazilian one. No Brazilian player gives villain vibes like Duke. They’re Villanova. Spain has to
Buen articulo con dos excepciones: 1) Les falto el Bidon del Branco de 1990 y 2) el cabezaso mas famoso es el de Jose de Jesus Corona el preparador fisico de Monarcas Morelia.
From @TheAthleticFC: Expect something absolutely nuts to happen during the World Cup.
Headbutts, spitting, diving, biting, crying, cheating, thieving... It’s all happened at some point in the past 96 years. We ranked the World Cup’s maddest moments: https://t.co/xIe1NsIoWN
Visa issues first costing the city of Tucson the pro-Mexican baseball team Mayos de Navojoa and now the Iranian national team for the FIFA World Cup. Both were supposed to use Kino Sports Complex at their home stadium. Big losses for local economy.
🚨 FIFA confirm Iran have moved their World Cup training base to Mexico.
Iran were set to be in Tucson, Arizona, but will now be based at Centro Xoloitzcuintle in Tijuana.🇮🇷
¡RECUERDO DESBLOQUEADO! ⚽
Momento de recordar cuando Efraín Juárez le marcó de penal a Keylor Navas en la Copa Oro del 2009 🇨🇷🇲🇽
Hoy los une el destino en busca de la gloria... ¿lograrán conseguirlo juntos? 🔥
Eli Lilly just released Phase 3 data for retatrutide, their next-generation obesity drug. 2,339 patients. 80 weeks. The biggest trial in the field.
8 things worth knowing:
1️⃣ It beats every obesity drug on the market. Wegovy (semaglutide): 15% Zepbound (tirzepatide): 22% Retatrutide: 25%
2️⃣ You don’t need the highest dose. The lowest (4mg) already outperforms Wegovy. 18% weight loss with one dose increase. Fewer people quit than on the sugar pill.
3️⃣ At two years, weight was still dropping. No plateau. Patients with BMI over 35 lost 84 pounds. 30% of their body weight.
4️⃣ Some patients stopped taking it because they lost too much weight. That’s never happened with an obesity drug.
5️⃣ It works differently. Ozempic and Zepbound suppress appetite. Retatrutide does that too, but its third receptor (glucagon) flips your metabolism toward burning stored fat. In Phase 2, ketone bodies rose 2-3x, confirming the body was switching fuel sources.
6️⃣ It causes a side effect no other obesity drug does: tingling and numbness (12.5%). New receptor, new trade-off. Worth watching.
7️⃣ In a separate study, it cleared 86% of liver fat. 93% of patients reached normal levels. 1 in 3 adults have fatty liver disease. No approved drug comes close.
8️⃣ Two-thirds of patients on the highest dose were reclassified out of obesity entirely. They started at BMI 40. They finished under 30. That’s not just weight loss. That’s a medical reclassification.
@US_FDA filing expected late 2026.
Fun season by the Cats, can’t really blame the players for this one. Must be hard to focus when your coach is flirting with the UNC job all week to get a raise.
Mexican BLOOD is on US citizen's hands!
How painful it may be to admit, but Mexico’s problem lies with its neighbor — the United States of America
Mexicans don’t do drugs nor they allowed to poses guns.
It's not a secret that cartels like Jalisco are armed with US guns — therefore Mexico has to sue the US weapon manufacturers.
Quick everyone! Hide all evidence of how international soccer works. Messi stayed in Rosario’s Newell’s Old Boy his entire career and never benefitted to the Spanish La Liga and UEFA infrastructure. It never happened!
Hot take: This is counterproductive for keepers. Marcelo Bielsa said: "Executing a penalty in training is a technical action; in a match, it’s a psychological one." Same for goalies. You don't just react; you have to read the kicker's mind under pressure. 🧤⚽️
The sucker punch isn’t the scary part—that’s old news. Whats terrifying is the crowd. In the 2000s, doing that made you a social pariah instantly. Now? People just film n celebrate it. We’ve completely lost our ability to self-police anti-social behavior. It’s a cultural collapse
