David Beckham on England’s 2-1 defeat to Argentina after Lionel Messi inspired the comeback.
🗣️ “I’ll be honest I exploded when England scored. I was on my feet celebrating because I genuinely thought we had one foot in the World Cup final. Then I looked at the pitch and one thought hit me… ‘Messi is still playing.’”
“And that’s the mistake everyone makes. They celebrate too early against a man who has spent nearly twenty years destroying dreams. The scoreboard said England were winning. Messi’s face said, ‘This game isn’t over.’”
“I know Leo better than most because he plays for my club. I’ve watched him train, I’ve watched him prepare, I’ve watched him win. But even knowing how special he is, what he produced tonight still left me speechless.”
“England had the lead, the momentum and the crowd. Then Messi completely took over the match without even needing to score. Two assists. Two moments of pure genius. He ripped England’s belief apart and dragged Argentina into another World Cup final.”
“At 39 years old, he made some of the best defenders in world football look like they were chasing shadows. That’s frightening. Most players are retired by that age. Messi is still deciding World Cup semi-finals.”
“As an Englishman, this is heartbreaking. As a football man, I have to be honest I’ve never seen anything like him. You can have the perfect game plan, the perfect tactics and the perfect lead, but if Lionel Messi decides the story isn’t finished, he’ll rewrite the ending himself.”
“I celebrated England’s goal… and ten minutes later I was watching the greatest player I’ve ever seen tear our World Cup dream into pieces. That’s how ruthless he is. That’s why every generation will remember his name.”
“I wanted England in the final more than anything. But when Lionel Messi reaches this level, you stop watching a footballer… you’re watching football history being written right in front of your eyes.”

I would like to express my profound respect and gratitude to Prince Dr. Asfa-Wossen Asserate Kassa for his pivotal role in appearing in person before the #European Council for Law and Justice, where he raised vital awareness about the crimes being perpetrated by the fascist regime of @AbiyAhmedAli and the ongoing genocide against the #Amhara people.
Your Highness your dedication to being a voice for our #Amhara people deserves the highest recognition; please accept this majestic honor wherever you are.‼
The illegal attack on Iran by Israel and the United States is a catastrophic act of aggression, brutality and escalation. Human beings will pay the price.

🔴From the protest in İstanbul today:
The future of Venezuela will not be determined by the vision imposed by imperialism, but by the struggle for independence and socialism.
Down with U.S. imperialism!
🇻🇪 Venezuelans rallied in the tens of thousands on Saturday, January 4, to reject the US attacks on their country and to demand the immediate return of President Nicolas Maduro
"What this is really about is a US grab for the resources of Latin America".
@jeremycorbyn stands with thousands opposing US war on Venezuela opposite Downing Street.
#nowaronvenezuela
The story of US intervention is a story of suffering, misery and chaos. How many more catastrophic failures will it take before we learn the lesson?
