@robert_lyman@JMilei As a citizen of the US, thanks for helping in the Iran conflict.... Oh, right, you didn't! So don't count on us to help with this. As a matter of fact, we will push our congress to side with Argentina. Then we will see how cocky the UK is.
Over the past 4 years there has been a constant smear campaign against Argentina just because they kept winning everything. Every tournament was suddenly “rigged”, every referee was “helping Argentina” and FIFA was accused of doing everything possible to make Argentina win.
The funny thing is that since then, FIFA has actually done the complete opposite.
Messi was robbed of one of the clearest Player of the Tournament awards you’ll ever see at a World Cup. Now Paredes gets a ridiculous 10-game suspension, while Borja Iglesias got nothing for punching Cristian Romero in the face. Jude Bellingham slapped Valentín Barco in the back of the head and nothing happened. Dani Olmo called Argentine players “fucking monkeys” and again, no real action, Ayala was punished for reacting to his words.
For years people were desperate to push the idea that Argentina were protected because they were winning. But when Argentina are the ones getting treated differently, nobody cares.
You can hate Argentina, you can be tired of seeing them win, that’s football. But at least be consistent.
🚨 José Mourinho on Piero Hincapié's red card for covering his mouth under FIFA's new rule:
🗣️ “This is exactly what is wrong with modern football. We've reached a point where a World Cup match can be changed completely because a player covered his mouth while speaking. It's unbelievable.”
“Hincapié wasn't sent off for a dangerous tackle or violent conduct. He was punished for something that has nothing to do with his football. That is not what supporters pay to watch.”
“We keep introducing rules that make referees the stars of the show instead of the players. Every tournament we talk more about decisions than about great football, and that's a failure.”
“Football is built on emotion, personality and communication. If players start worrying that every word or gesture could get them sent off, you're taking the soul out of the game.”
“FIFA needs to ask itself a simple question: do people buy tickets to watch footballers or to watch referees apply technical rules? Because decisions like this damage the spectacle far more than they protect it.”
“Let matches be decided by quality, courage and football,not by rules that keep stealing the headlines.”
Let there be no mistake: the United States stands squarely in support of Bolivia's legitimate constitutional government.
We will not allow criminals and drug traffickers to overthrow democratically elected leaders in our hemisphere.
"We call Lionel Messi the GOAT not because he has a world cup but because football in his presence found its purest voice"
Peter Drury might be the greatest fan of Messi 😭
Celebramos 201 años de la Independencia de Santa Cruz de la Sierra.
Una tierra de trabajo y espíritu libre. Donde "es ley del cruceño la hospitalidad", Santa Cruz se consolida hoy como un polo de desarrollo de nuestra nación y es parte esencial del presente y del futuro de Bolivia.
¡Felicidades a todas y todos los cruceños en este día histórico!

Listen fool, the entire country of Argentina is repulsed by being named by this mumbling idiot. We don't have plantations, we don't have bananas, we don't eat beans and we don't wear guayaberas. And, regardless of what the music industry wants to peddle, twerking dusky ladies in scant clothing aren't our trademark.
I can't believe I have to even type these words. Leave us out of this thing you call "LatinO culture". We're out.
BREAKING:
3 Doors Down have announced the passing of their founder, lead singer, and songwriter Brad Arnold, who died peacefully in his sleep on Saturday, February 7, at the age of 47 following a battle with cancer.
Arnold was a founding member and a defining voice of early 2000s mainstream rock, best known for writing the band’s breakthrough hit “Kryptonite” at just 15 years old. His songwriting helped shape a generation, blending emotional honesty with radio-defining rock anthems.
He is survived by his wife Jennifer and family. The band and family have asked for privacy during this difficult time.
🖤 Rest in peace, Brad Arnold. Your music and legacy will live on. #3doorsdown
Messi joined the worst team in North America, took them to the MLS Cup Final. That’s influence, not half-naked instagram pictures, not dinner with Trump and Saudi Prince, not interview with Piers Morgan like Cristiano.
Earned, not given, not begged.
Stepping back for a moment to wrap head around the cancer diagnosis and Friday surgery for Alex Singleton:
—delivered dominating performance vs Raiders
—addressed the entire team.
—shared news publicly on social media
—held telephone conference call with media and advocated for testing and public awareness.
Rather remarkable when you think about it. Rooting for full recovery for Alex and friends and everyone battling this awful disease.
