👀🇦🇷 Después de decir que esta vez el arbitraje no influyó, me pidieron revisar el partido con detalle y encontré esto.

Enzo Fernández, autor del gol del empate de Argentina, no debió terminar el encuentro.

Al minuto 3 lanzó un codazo en la nuca a un jugador inglés, sin ninguna posibilidad de disputar el balón. Si se hubiera aplicado el mismo rigor arbitral que vimos contra Suiza y Egipto, esa acción perfectamente pudo terminar en expulsión. Pero no solo no fue roja… ni siquiera fue amarilla.

Minutos después, el mismo Enzo cortó un contragolpe de Inglaterra con una zancadilla al borde del área. ¿La sanción? Tampoco hubo amarilla.

Desde el primer tiempo, Enzo debió estar expulsado. Si una acción así hubiera sido contra Messi, difícilmente el infractor se salvaría.

Por cierto, guarden el video porque la FIFA los anda borrando.

@ComplexSports 🤨 wait…WHAT?

In Germany, a talented 14-year-old earns his club money. In America, his parents pay the club $15,000 a year.

That single inversion explains why "we will not" is the most accurate line ever written about US soccer.

FIFA built a global system for this. Training compensation and solidarity payments send a cut of every transfer fee back to the clubs that developed the player, from age 12 onward. Develop one future pro and your academy gets paid for a decade. Barcelona's La Masia, Ajax, every Bundesliga academy runs on this logic. The kid is the asset.

US Soccer refuses to enforce those rules. When Seattle's Crossfire Premier claimed its $60,000 share of DeAndre Yedlin's transfer to Tottenham, it got nothing. Claims on the Dempsey and Bradley transfers died partly because the federation couldn't even produce the youth training records.

So American clubs earn zero dollars when a kid turns pro. They earn when a kid enrolls. Which makes the parent the customer, and the product is whatever keeps the parent writing checks: travel tournaments, hotel weekends, $500 showcase events, private training at $100 an hour. Elite pathways run $8,000 to $20,000 a year. A comparable academy spot in Italy costs about 120 euros.

Follow the incentive one level deeper and it gets darker. A club dependent on fees can't cut its weakest paying players, so rosters optimize for retention over development. The scouting pool shrinks to families who can afford the cliff, which appears around age 11, exactly when development matters most. The country runs a talent filter sorted by household income instead of ability.

Every four years someone proposes fixing this. The proposal always requires the people profiting from the $15,000 model to vote themselves out of business.

They will not.

A Cy Young Award Winner who was falsely accused and proven innocent of all charges in a court of law can’t get a contract but Marcel Ozuna can choke his wife with a cast then immediately get a DUI and play anywhere. Make it make sense.

Anthony Edwards on Mike Conley: “Mike Conley was an All-Star in the NBA. I think people forget about that. Once upon a time, he was one of the best point guards in the league. I always tell him that you used to be one of my favorite players. When I played 2K, I played with you.”

I didn’t see a single “it’s gonna be May” meme this year which is personally a massive relief, but culturally a signifier of something much darker.

There are too many emails. Too many texts. Too many accounts. Too many logins. Too many apps. Too many rewards programs. Too many fundraisers. Too many appointments. Too many virtual meetings. Too many newsletters. Too many forms. Too many social media platforms. My brain hurts.
