Argentina are officially the first nation in World Cup HISTORY to reach the semi-finals without facing a single Top 10 ranked team.
Must be a coincidenceโฆ of course.

This is how often each World Cup quarter-finalist has been shown a yellow card based on fouls committed:
๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ England: ๐จ 1 card every 7 fouls.
๐ฒ๐ฆ Morocco: ๐จ 1 every 9.8 fouls.
๐ง๐ช Belgium: ๐จ 1 every 10 fouls.
๐จ๐ญ Switzerland: ๐จ 1 every 11.5 fouls.
๐ซ๐ท France: ๐จ 1 every 12.2 fouls.
๐ณ๐ด Norway: ๐จ 1 every 13.6 fouls.
๐ช๐ธ Spain: ๐จ 1 every 17.5 fouls.
๐ฆ๐ท Argentina: ๐จ 1 every 22 fouls.
England are being booked once every seven fouls, while Argentina average just one yellow card every 22 fouls committed.
Does this suggest different refereeing standards for the World Cup holders? ๐ค

In Germany liberals glued their hands to the floor of a Porsche dealership in protest...
-Staff largely ignored the protest
-The activists started complaining the glue irritated their hands, they were cold/hungry, needed the bathroom bucket
-At the end of the day the staff turned off the lights and heating and went home, leaving the glued protesters there overnight
THIS IS HOW WE SHOULD HANDLE PROTESTORS!!๐
I asked the Home Office whether they would deport the ringleader of the Rochdale grooming gang.
I got the usual waffle about procedure - and no commitment.
Any law that says this man can walk our streets is wrong.
The Government can change the law. So why donโt they?
Bill Clinton: โI killed myself trying to give the Palestinians a state. I had a deal they turned down that would have given them all of Gaza and 97% of the West Bank. You name it. They turned it down.โ
The Palestinians never wanted peace.
This must be shared every single day.
