¿Sabías que la selección de Noruega goleó a Israel 5-0 en las clasificatorias del Mundial y luego donó el dinero que ganó a Gaza? Por si aún dudas a quién apoyar.
A Scottish fan chanted, "Free Palestine."
"I was a nurse in Gaza. I volunteered in Gaza. I’ve seen what happens. There is a genocide. Free Palestine."
She's a hero.
Zlatan Ibrahimović on Colombia's goal being ruled out for offside against Portugal:
🗣️ “This is a disgrace. The referee and VAR have just stolen a perfectly good goal from Colombia. If that's offside, then nobody understands the rules anymore.”
“How many screens, cameras, and replays do they need to get one simple decision right? They had every advantage, and they still found a way to make the wrong call. That's embarrassing.”
“The referee isn't the talking point because he got it right he's the talking point because he completely failed in one of the biggest moments of the match. VAR didn't save him; it made the mistake even worse.”
“You don't just take away a goal you take away the players' hard work, the fans' celebration, and possibly a place in the next round. That's unforgivable.”
“If officials can't get decisions like this right on the biggest stage in football, then they shouldn't be officiating World Cup matches. Colombia deserved better than this.”
James Rodríguez on the VAR image that ruled out Davinson Sánchez's goal against Portugal:
🗣️ “You're telling me an entire World Cup moment was taken away because of a tiny foot? That's unbelievable. The referee and VAR looked at that image and decided Colombia didn't deserve that goal. How can football accept something like this?”
“We celebrated with our supporters because we believed we had won it fairly. Then a line appears on a screen, showing the smallest possible margin, and suddenly everything is gone. That's not the spirit of football.”
“If VAR needs to search for millimetres just to find a reason to cancel a goal, then something is seriously wrong. Technology was supposed to help the game, not punish attacking football over the smallest detail imaginable.”
“The referee and VAR didn't just cancel a goal they broke the hearts of millions of Colombians around the world. Every player felt the emotion, every fan celebrated, and in seconds it was all ripped away.”
“I don't care how many images they show after the match. No picture can justify taking away a moment that meant everything to an entire nation. Colombia deserved that goal, and our fans deserved that celebration.”
Idk but Michelle Obama telling Barack “You told me all those years ago that you couldn't promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. And, of course you outdid yourself and managed to give me both." is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard someone say to another 🥹
A child loves their parents so sincerely from the moment they’re born.
Every time I think about that, I’m amazed by how many years of effort it must take to fill their head with enough hurt, fear, or disappointment for them to stop loving you.
