🚨 Zlatan Ibrahimović slams Rio Ferdinand's VAR comments
🗣️: "I expect emotional fans to complain after every match, that's football. But I never expected someone with Rio Ferdinand's experience to make a statement as foolish as "I've never seen VAR review a yellow card." This isn't even the first time we've seen it. Amiron was sent off after receiving a second yellow for simulation in this same World Cup. The law didn't suddenly change because Argentina were playing.
What surprises me even more is the obsession. Ronaldo fans don't watch Argentina because they support football, they watch every Argentina match hoping to find someone to blame. They don't celebrate their own team; they spend ninety minutes studying Messi, the referee, VAR, FIFA, and every replay, praying for a controversy. If Argentina win comfortably, they say it's rigged. If Messi scores, it's the referee. If he doesn't score, they still find a conspiracy. They lose more sleep over Messi than some Argentina fans do.
At some point, you have to ask yourself: are you supporting Ronaldo, or are you following Messi's career full-time? Because it looks like Messi has millions of unpaid analysts who never miss a single Argentina game. That's not rivalry anymore, that's obsession.
Football is simple. Sometimes referees get decisions right, sometimes they get them wrong. But when the exact same type of decision happens in another match and nobody cares, then suddenly it's the biggest scandal in football because it benefits Argentina, you've stopped looking for the truth. You're just looking for excuses.
Messi doesn't need people to rewrite the rules for him. His football has spoken for over twenty years. If every Argentina victory forces you to invent another conspiracy, maybe the problem isn't Messi. Maybe it's that you're still struggling to accept what the world has already accepted."
This exact same situation happened in the USA’s opening game at this World Cup.
Yet somehow, it’s only became an issue when it happened in an Argentina game.

🚨 “If You Don’t See It as a Red Card, Then Football Is Not for You” — Thierry Henry on Embolo’s Dismissal
🗣️ :“First of all, I want to give a lot of credit to the referee. In moments like this, under pressure, with the intensity of the game rising, it’s not easy to make big decisions — but he handled the situation very, very well. Calm, composed, and most importantly, consistent. That’s exactly the kind of discipline football needs.
Now, when you look at the incident… I really don’t understand why Embolo goes into that challenge like that. Your team has just started to dominate the game, you are building momentum, everything is going in your favor — and you are already on a yellow card. You have to be smarter than that. You have to read the moment.
There is no need to dive into a situation like that. You’re risking everything — not just for yourself, but for your team. At this level, that lack of control can cost you the game, and it did.
And let me be very clear — if there are people who think that is not a red card, then football is not for them. The rules are there for a reason. Discipline is part of the game. You cannot complain when a player crosses that line and gets punished.
For me, the referee got it absolutely right.”
@Zaxbys That’d be greatly appreciated. 3852 Hacks Cross Rd, Memphis, TN 38125, United States is the address. Email is probably best for me. [email protected].
@Zaxbys how come half of your items aren’t even listed on the menu in the restaurant? Wings & things and the chicken tenders weren’t advertised in the location I just went to.
The student from Sante Fe High School said "I was scared not shocked. It's happening everywhere, I knew it was going to happen eventually."
If that doesn't break your heart about the state of mind of our youth in school right now then you may not have a heart.
@UberEats I am very disappointed in the service (or lack thereof) i have gotten from ubereats. I have either had missing or incorrect items. Not only that but I asked for a refund the first time it happened two weeks ago but i haven’t received anything yet.
@blondemacaron Not a big peanut butter fan myself but i enjoy peanut butter on toast but i cut up a banana and put that on top, i find that super delicious and healthy. I’ve also heard almond butter is more tasty than peanut butter so you can try that as well.
