🗣️ Zlatan Ibrahimović:
“I’m going to be honest here. Even as someone who loves Messi, this World Cup has looked like a tournament prepared for Argentina to win. When I watch other matches and then watch Argentina’s games, it makes me wonder whether the rules are different for Argentina’s players. They don’t play like a team that came to play football; they play as if it’s a karate competition. Yet despite all of that, the referees don’t give them cards.
I have seen so many challenges that deserved yellow or red cards, but the referees refused to show them. For Argentina’s second goal, Messi stepped on Spence, and VAR didn’t review it. Yet against Egypt, VAR disallowed Egypt’s goal for the exact same reason. The same thing has happened in other matches they have played.
I don’t think it’s fair to say this World Cup has been fair because everything points to the fact that they want Argentina to win so badly. It’s very shameful that FIFA has not looked into all of this.”

Esto es un escándalo Mundial.

🚨VAR CANCELLED EGYPT'S GOAL AGAINST ARGENTINA GOING BACK 2 WHOLE MINUTES IN BUILDUP
MESSI STOMPS SPENCE'S LEG AND LEAVES HIM UNABLE TO DEFEND AND ARGENTINA SCORES UNDER 10 SECONDS, VAR SLEPT
ALL GOALS AGAINST ARGENTINA ARE CHECKED BUT NO GOALS ARGENTINA SCORES ARE CHECKED🤯

Argentina have an absurdly one-sided VAR record at the World Cup: zero interventions against them and the highest favourable decision rate among the semi-finalists. England have the worst VAR record of the four teams. England will be up against Argentina + VAR in the semi-final.

Not so fast, Belgium.
The city of Los Angeles still has another 29 days to count all the goals from tonight's match.

The World Cup knockout system is unfair.
A team can dominate its group, collect more points, and still get punished with a much harder path. Meanwhile, another team can barely qualify with fewer points and face an easier opponent simply because of a fixed bracket.
Example: Morocco finished strong with 7 points, yet faces the Netherlands. Senegal barely survived with fewer points but may get a softer route.
The solution is simple: reseeding.
After the group stage, rank all 32 qualified teams based on performance:
points, goal difference, goals scored, and group position.
Then:
#1 plays #32
#2 plays #31
#3 plays #30
And so on.
This is how many American sports leagues protect competitive fairness. The NFL, for example, reseeds playoff teams so the highest remaining seed faces the lowest remaining seed.
The World Cup should reward performance, not punish it. @FIFAcom @FIFAWorldCup

Let the consumer decide in a scenario like if @Starlink and @CoxComm made porn inaccessible on their servers but @Verizon made it available @cvspharmacy chose brand loyalty building over cigarette profits. Make the weird opt-in for porn rather than an undesirable default setting

PARENTS! Your K-12 schools present the Minnesota incident involving ICE to students in a biased way, and we urge parents to talk to their children first about what actually happened.
Schools often use emotional manipulation to shape children's views on political issues, so parents you MUST provide your own perspective on illegal aliens and border enforcement before schools influence your kids' opinions.
Tell them the truth before your schools lie to them.
