Hajime Moriyasu on facing Brazil in the FIFA World Cup Round of 32 tonight:
🗣️ “Everyone keeps asking me if we're intimidated by Brazil. Why should we be? They have a great history, but history doesn't step onto the pitch tonight. We didn't travel across the world to admire their badge or take photos with their players we came here to compete, and we believe they can be beaten like any other team.”
“People still speak about Brazil as if wearing that yellow shirt automatically wins football matches. Football doesn't work like that anymore. Every game starts at 0-0, and no amount of World Cups or legendary players can score the goals needed to win tonight.”
“If my players walk into this stadium thinking Brazil are untouchable, then we've already failed before the referee blows the whistle. That's not the mentality we've built over the last few years. We respect every opponent, but we don't give anyone the privilege of being feared.”
“I've watched Brazil carefully throughout this tournament. They're a fantastic team with incredible individuals, but I also see mistakes, moments of vulnerability and areas where they can be hurt. They aren't perfect, and pretending they are would only make our job easier for them.”
“The biggest mistake people make is believing famous names decide football matches. They don't. Discipline, teamwork, courage and mentality decide them. If those qualities weren't enough, underdogs would never beat giants at the World Cup.”
“I've told my players to enjoy every second of this challenge. These are the matches that define careers and change the way the football world sees your country. If you want global respect, you don't ask for it you take it by beating the biggest teams.”
“If Brazil expect Japan to be satisfied just by sharing the pitch with them, they're in for a surprise. We didn't come here looking for compliments after a brave defeat. We came looking for victory, and we'll fight for it until the very last second.”
“Tonight, the world will either watch Brazil prove why they're one of football's greatest nations, or they'll witness Japan create another unforgettable World Cup story. Either way, we have absolutely nothing to fear and everything to gain.”

it’s the non-crypto, crypto cycle.
most bullish use cases are trading stocks, prediction markets, and trading cards
this is good, this is stickier than vapor coins, vapor chains and vapor products.
money is coming on chain. that’s all we need for a run
Real wealth?
Multiple residencies - Singapore passport does not give this, no dual citizenship. Our passport is about as strong as silicon breast implants. Looks great from a distance but real ones know it does not hold up to touch. How many young sinkies have the balls to leave? only know one who fled to Japan.
Land, soil, connection to Nature - lmfao we are a tiny island, our leaders aren’t pushing for more reclamation, our leaders also bochap. Average Moldovan peasant whose parents make wine on their land, have swine for ham and sausage, fields to lie upon in the warmer seasons is richer, if you remove the religion of GDP per capita.
Children - our TFR?? Brother…
Family, relationships - Sinkie pwn sinkie
Happiness, inner peace - no I must be better than my colleagues n ex classmates, must flex, must prove I am better than some retard named Aloysius Wong Boon Khua Kway Chap or some shit like that
Eventually you find yourself in your nice house (hopefully paid off) with a fat portfolio but your wife and kids hate you, what’s the point? Nice sports car but you’re playing within a restricted field. Your shekels will be worth an estate anywhere else in the world, on the little red dot you feel small and minuscule. You know 10 thousand hawker stalls but cannot cook a noodle dish to save your life. You can critique a steak a million ways but fear the splash of oil from the pan. For all your love of opulence you have never tasted life beyond the humid banks of the East Coast. You have means that 99% of the world will never experience, yet you lack the heart and soul to even try to experience it beyond a tiny island lying on the equator. Our ancestors that chose to leave their previous homelands for a chance of better pay for their labor had more balls than we do today.
Such is the way of the kiasu sinkie. On paper you beat the world, in reality, you became a true slave to the system. Mass hypnosis. And so it goes.
