Barcelona lost Messi in 2021 because they were €1.2 billion in debt and La Liga slashed their wage cap from €347 million to €97 million. The emergency fix was fielding children. Four years later those children won La Liga, and one of them carries a €1 billion release clause.

The cap crisis meant Barcelona couldn't register signings. Academy kids on entry-level wages were the only players they could afford to put on the pitch. So Lamine Yamal debuted at 15 years and 9 months. Pau Cubarsí debuted at 16. Gavi, Pedri, Balde, and Casadó all got minutes a healthy club would never have risked on teenagers.

Then the desperation play turned out to be the best roster strategy in football. Yamal joined at age 7 from CF La Torreta, a local youth club. Transfer fee zero. Barcelona turned down a €250 million bid for him. He made 106 senior appearances before turning 18. Messi made 9.

The cap math makes it even better. Real Madrid operates with a €761 million squad cost limit. Barcelona's is €432 million. They won the league anyway, because half the starting lineup was developed in-house at academy cost.

Messi's final Barcelona contract was worth over €500 million. His replacement cost nothing.

Those 11-year-olds in the video are the next batch. A pipeline that began as a bankruptcy workaround is now the entire plan.

Argentina just beat Spain at the 2026 World Cup final, 3-2.

[HK @HKFinalThird]

Paul Scholes says Argentina have been LUCKY at the World Cup, and predicts they’ll “all kick off” if England knock them out.

“I think England and Argentina’s paths have been very similar.

I don’t think either team has played that well, but they’ve got through games.

You think of them against Egypt, they were lucky. Really lucky against Cape Verde.

The biggest advantage Argentina have is that they’ve done it before. They know how to win these big games. They won the last World Cup. We’re yet to prove that.

This will be chaos. This could be 4–3 either way.

There’ll be yellow cards, red cards.

If Argentina lose, they’ll all kick off. Absolutely guaranteed.

And this game runs deep. If you lose to them, it’s horrible. Remember France ’98?”

I am a US citizen & Surgeon who took care of the Boston Maraton Bombing victims in 2013. I paid for 7 years to own a small apartment in downtown #Beirut for my 3 kids to enjoy summers there. Today, #Israel reduced my dream home to rubble, with american weapons, paid by my taxes.

Israel has closed the Church of the Holy Sepulchre indefinitely for the first time in the history of Christianity.

Holy Week and Easter services will be prohibited. Sunday masses and liturgies cancelled. A church that should be packed with hundreds of thousands these coming weeks is being forcibly shut and silenced.

Israel cites it is for ‘security concerns’ while Jewish Israelis are allowed to celebrate in mass gatherings. Alongside the forced closure of Al-Aqsa mosque, reports cite priests aggressively being turned away to perform daily services.

Throughout history, wars, tensions, or even the pandemic limited access to the sanctuary, but they had never prevented liturgical celebrations in this central place of Christian faith indefinitely. Christians must not remain silent.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.

May God bless America.

After watching the events in Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Mumbai.

It was clear that while Messi met many celebrities, he seemed to ignore most of them. but when he met Sachin Tendulkar, the respect was unmistakable.

If you have any savings, put everything behind the oligarchs in every country.

Even if their businesses and investments fail, they will be bailed out by the governments they own.

And you will make some money in the bargain.

Every parent has the same nightmare:

Your kid stumbles onto something they should NOT see online.

And you realize you have no idea how to protect them in a world that didn't exist when you were growing up.

I spent 6 months figuring it out... Here's what actually works 🧵
