#Argentina 78
Text
June 3rd 1978 saw Peru defeat Scotland 3-1 in the football World Cup in Argentina.
What were we thinking of, on a wave of euphoria Scotland headed out of to South America with high hopes, ffs we even sold tickets for a parade at Hampden BEFORE the national team headed for Argentina!
Ally MacLeod was unfairly pilloried for his part in what happened when we arrived at the World Cup, in my opinion unfairly. Claims that he said we would "Win the World Cup" have since been dismissed as a myth, I blame Andy Cameron myself-why? I hear you ask, well he had us all bloody singing it......
We're on the march wi' Ally's Army
We're going tae the Argentine
And we'll really shake them up
When we win the World Cup
Cause Scotland is the greatest football team.
As well as the the defeat to Peru, we also played out a 1-1 draw with that famous footballing nation Iran, we will also remember though that we almost grabbed a lifeline, with a magnificent display against Holland, and THAT goal from Archie Gemmell.
By the time the 1982 World Cup came about we had learned our lesson and the optimistic Andy Cameron had been replaced with the brilliant John Gordon Sinclair, of Gregory's Girl fame telling us 'We Have A Dream'.
I return to Ally MacLeod, who Sir Alex Ferguson states "there was considerably more to MacLeod than his public persona suggested", describing him as a “father figure”.
Ally passed away in 2004 aged 72, the nearest he came to saying we would win the trophy is when asked by one journalist what he would do in the event the team won the trophy, he replied: “Retain it”

Teófilo Cubillas, El Nene
Relato breve en homenaje a una auténtica estrella del fùtbol mundial: Teófilo Cubillas, El Nene. Compartido con el respeto que me merecen.
Trota fino y ligero sobre el césped, su sonrisa brillante marca el gesto y opaca las intrigas del entorno. Emerge sobre el gramado, bajo la blanda luz de la nocturna humedad limeña, con la placidez que se reclama para el género humano. “Feliz de la vida” es su predicado compulsivo y así lo ve la afición futbolera. Ha venido de la periférica Puente Piedra para anclar en La Victoria por…

NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE talking about how Argentina NT literally POPPED THE BALL in like minute 78 of the game. A sponsor sent the ball Super Extra Special in a Fancy Box so they could get their logo featured prominently instead of letting the refs carry it, and La Albiceleste busted that sucker in one match 😂😂😂
#football#my posts#commentator was like ‘it burst under the pressure of being so close to Leo Messi’#FOOTBALL SHOULD BE LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME#I don’t Care if he’s an international friendly merchant this just feels amazing#you all had YEARS of this I’m so mad

Lula returns democratic normality to Brazil after Bolsonaro’s chaotic term
President Lula isn’t perfect, but he has fulfilled the main mission entrusted to him by the electorate of Brazil. The first day of January marked one year since Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, 78, returned to the presidency of Brazil, at the culmination of an extraordinary political resurrection. Today, the country has settled into a semblance of peace. Democracy has regained its momentum and institutional normality reigns after the turbulent four years of the far-right administration led by Jair Bolsonaro (2018-2022). Lula’s third term (he previously served as president of Brazil from 2003 until 2010) began with a coup attempt by Bolsonaro’s supporters on January 8, 2022. It was neutralized within hours. The year then ended with a timid tax reform that is still historic, as it modifies an unjust and outdated tax system that was last altered more than three decades ago.
The fight against hunger — as 15% of the population goes to bed with an empty stomach — against poverty and the protection of the Amazon have, once again, become priorities under the Lula administration. Meanwhile, his predecessor has been banned from holding political office for several years.
The Brazilian economy has given the veteran president more joy than foreign policy. Brazil was welcomed with open arms upon its return to international forums; reductions in deforestation have been applauded. But the boomerang effect of Lula’s mediation attempts in Ukraine demonstrated how difficult it is to achieve diplomatic successes in a world that is much more complex than in his previous period in power, at the beginning of the century.
From the outside, the most populated country in Latin America has been transformed into a kind of oasis of stability that contrasts with the earthquake that the far-right Javier Milei has unleashed in Argentina, the fear of a war between Venezuela and Guyana due to the political calculations of Nicolás Maduro, the constitutional ups and downs in Chile and the authoritarian drift of Nayib Bukele in El Salvador.

Stop calling it unprecedented!
The big picture: In reality, leaders who left office since 2000 have been jailed or prosecuted in at least 78 countries — including in democracies like France, Israel and South Korea.
Since 1980, around half of the world's countries have had at least one such case, and that's not counting impeachments or coups.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ongoing corruption trial
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan's home was surrounded this month in a botched attempt to arrest him, while former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak remains in jail after a judge this week threw out a challenge to his corruption conviction
Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, Argentina's current vice president and former president, was convicted of fraud but remains in office and out of prison because her position carries immunity
Like Trump, Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy had his home searched after leaving office. He was convicted in two separate cases in 2021 and sentenced to prison
In South Korea, former President Park Geun-hye was sentenced to 24 years for corruption.
Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has been in and out of court for three decades and was temporarily barred from seeking office due to a tax fraud conviction
We were only considering leaders who held the most powerful political office in each country
And don't forget Spiro Agnew who was indicted while serving as Vice President. He later resigned and pled guilty to one felony. Nixon resigned to avoid prosecution and impeachment.
Trump will just be the most egregious, but then, he's the biggest crook of the lot.

on principle i hate doing opinion text posts on tumblr because it clogs the tag and no one cares, but i just want to organise my thoughts a little re: the JHR mess at Long Beach.
It’s long, and under the cut:
JHR called a bad race
That is the root cause of how the races for both drivers turned out. Pitting and releasing Callum into the path of Canapino in the #78 without clueing Callum in on the situation, nor telling #78 that Helio was not on the lead lap both led to the incident that put the #78 out of the race.
The Argentine commentary incited the abuse
On a level you could understand Canapino’s frustration (without knowing Callum was given no info by the team), but the commentator (Martin Ponte) who is supposed to be watching the race, knows how racing works and the driver has little to no input on strategy and pitstops, and have a clue of what’s going on just decided to call on air that Callum is the enemy of the whole of Argentina. Because of something that is of no fault of his own.
Ponte “apologised” on Twitter afterwards, but it was along the lines of “I did not mean to cause hatred and if it is taken this way I apologise”. Which, non-apology really.
Callum bore the brunt of the abuse - directly or indirectly
The fact that Callum felt the need to address it at all just about tells you how bad the abuse was. Even if the team’s accounts were on the receiving end of the vitriol, the root cause is the same - they are convinced Callum screwed over his teammate (and the team let it happen, or whatever).
Ricardo Juncos did speak with a journalist to clarify that Callum was not given the information, but even then, the reaction under that tweet was along the lines of it being a weak excuse to help Callum, or that of course JHR would not say a bad word about their number 1 driver.
JHR’s silence and obfuscation
Get this - Callum addressed the abuse soon after the race. Even Indycar came out with a statement on Monday addressing the social media mess after Long Beach.
JHR only came out with a post within the last hour or two (on Tuesday after the race) well after everything happened. There is no excuse to such a delay in taking on the very visible storm on social media, that you come out with something well after your driver and the racing series itself said something. It is well overdue.
When you dig into the statement though, it gets more problematic.
It talks about “drivers and the team” receiving abuse. The bulk of the abuse was at Callum, directly. If those comments are found on JHR’s accounts, the target is still Callum. Or along the lines of it’s the team’s fault that Callum is at JHR. Is the “drivers and the team” in the room with us? Call a spade a spade, it is not that hard.
The statement talks about the drivers respecting each other and then goes straight to them in a sport where split second decisions make or break weekends, and they learn, forgive and forget. How does this read to you? My read is this - it did nothing to dispel the misguided belief that Callum was at fault for something the team screwed up, and somehow Callum is to be forgiven. Since, you and I know, the genesis of this statement was the reaction to a situation where the Argentine fanbase believed Callum screwed Canapino over.
Sure, there are things to forgive and forget. Both drivers can “forgive and forget” for whatever happened in the strategy box and on the engineering stand that got us here. But only Callum has the perogative to forgive all the abuse he got.
It is disingenuous to obfuscate the failings as a team on the strategy side with the online abuse that was hurled Callum’s way and then wrap it all up and say we learn, forgive and forget.
Then Ricardo Juncos goes and tells a Motorsport.com journalist that Callum does not understand the passion of Argentine fans which drove the reaction on social media. Bear in mind that Callum got a lot of death threats. Can you really handwave that away as passion?
The long term deal, in fact, is just for 2023
Just some final thoughts - Callum was extended on a “multi-year” contract last year when the big teams start coming knocking. However, it emerged that it in fact is only for the 2023 season. I would entirely avoid the discussion on whether Callum enabled the team to grow since they started together in 2021 on his own with no teammates to help him, but I hope the bigger teams are back in for him this year, and that this incident opens his eyes to seriously consider moving on. Cause, as this turn of events tell us, the team does not really have his back.
#read at your own risk#callum ilott#indycar#long beach 2023#j.txt#so sorry for writing this but i had to make sense of all this#and yeah. i was already a bit sour on JHR before this but truly apathetic after this shitstorm#not to mention the PR at the team is clearly slanted towards canapino already this year#ok to rb btw

Argentina, el país más feliz del mundo
Económicamente golpeado, social y políticamente en tensión, el octavo país más grande del mundo está bailando, cantando, celebrando y gozando como quizás nunca en su historia.
Las fiestas por los títulos en Argentina 78 -en plena dictadura- y México 86 fueron enormes, pero lo logrado por Lionel Messi y compañía amenaza con dinamitar cualquier estadística.
La selección llegará este lunes a Buenos Aires, un día que bien puede ser parte de un relato de literatura fantástica.
