Martinoli: "El Azteca es grande gracias a Pelé, Maradona, el Cruz Azul de los 70’s y el Cruz Azul del 2001. Históricamente pesa más la playera de Cruz Azul en ese estadio que la misma selección."
Argentina y lo que quieras, pero este morro, que la sufrió, que fue pateado toda su carrera, que fue linchado por sus excompañeros seleccionados, abucheado por su país y cuestionado por su talento, merece cumplir su sueño y retirarse como la leyenda viva que es. Y sha está.
FIFA's own rules dictate that if a government tries to intervene in a disciplinary matter - that team is disqualified. Not happening to the USA though, despite trump making that phone call. Wonder why. 🤔

In February 2025, while on the Oscars trail in support of his film ‘The Brutalist,’ director Brady Corbet made headlines when he revealed that he’d “made zero dollars” from his work on the film. While independent movies like ‘The Brutalist’ aren’t known for being lucrative cash cows for their filmmakers, Corbet’s candor still served as a wake-up call. If a movie this successful on paper was a financial wash for its director, how could anyone in this industry possibly be making ends meet?
With some exceptions, this is a common story for independent filmmakers. Despite outward appearances of glamour during festival premieres, awards shows, and press tours, their behind-the-scenes realities are much different. By many metrics, the landscape isn’t improving.
The cost of making a film is so exorbitant that filmmakers can’t expect to make much money from backend profits. Grant availability in the U.S., once a possible avenue for filmmakers to supplement their income, has lessened. Filmmakers can grind for over two years on a film, and if, at the end of it, they make just enough money to pay back their investors, they consider themselves lucky.
Five indie filmmakers opened up about the day jobs they’ve worked to pay the bills, the sacrifices they’ve made to pursue their labors of love, and a devolving industry that makes all this feel less sustainable every day: https://t.co/MvZulY4gFV
