[All About Argentina 🛎🇦🇷 @AlbicelesteTalk]

Argentina never got the respect they deserved.

I’ve never seen a national team receive this much hate for simply winning. Instead of giving credit to a team that has dominated world football for the last five years, social media became full of edited clips, AI-generated images, fake quotes, misleading posts and out-of-context videos, all made to discredit what this team achieved.

The worst part is that many people didn’t even care if it was true. If it got engagement, they shared it. If it pushed another anti-Argentina narrative, they believed it. That’s how low football discussion became. Imagine how empty your life has to be that your only way of getting attention is by spreading lies and fake propaganda about other people.

Every foul was analyzed frame by frame. Every referee decision became a conspiracy. Every victory had to come with an excuse. I’ve never seen another team get microanalyzed like this just because they kept winning.

A lot of this comes down to one thing: Lionel Messi, who is far better player than their favorite player, far better, far talented and achieved far more in the sport so as they see that Messi is better than their favorite player, instead of accepting it they looked for ways to discredit him and the team around him.

During this World Cup, people threw every label they could at Argentina. Racists. Zionists. Cheaters. Corrupt. All based on viral posts, fake quotes, edited clips or AI-generated content, without caring whether any of it was actually true.

They spent years trying to convince people that Argentina and these players didn’t deserve what they achieved.

The truth is that, they couldn’t accept that Lionel Messi and this generation reached a level their favorites never did.

No amount of propaganda can rewrite football history. And history will remember this Argentina team as one of the best international sides ever.

You know what's bothering me for no reason?
Up until 1080p, we referred to video resolutions by their VERTICAL RESOLUTION

426x240 = "240p"
854x480 = "480p"
1280x720 = "720p"
1920x1080 = "1080p"

But then above that, we started using HORIZONTAL resolution, but rounded

7680x4230 = "8K"
3840x2160 = "4K"

And then for everything in between, we just... threw that out?

2560x1440 = "2K" ?????????
2772x1272 = "1.5K" ????????

Xavi's exit breaks my heart.

But I maintain he was the man for the job at the time; the hero we needed but not the one we deserved.

So here's my ode to Xavi, reposted again.

An (im) perfect coach for an (im) perfect Barcelona.

An important read.
