i thought these tweets were too sexy to be left behind
[ID: Series of tweets about the double standards between European teams versus third world teams in the World Cup. They are as follows:
@\RoyNemer: "If an English player fouls, they call it grit and heart. If an Argentine or a South American does it, they are called dirty. The Dutch talk all of that talk before the game and they are called confident. Argentina react and they're called disrespectful. Haters gonna hate. [Argentina flag emoji]". Attached is a picture of the Argentinian team celebrating their win.
@\beingmich: "And to add an example from the most hated rival (Brazil): if an European has an outgoing personality, he's just full of life. If a South American dances after scoring a wondergoal, he's being disrespectful and deserves to be fouled all game [rolling eyes emoji]"
@\resistance_sa: "Nothing burns more than when a "third world" country triumphs over the former European colonizer. As an African, we are here to enjoy every minute." End ID] (thanks for the ID @tothetrashwhereibelong)
My mom, who doesn’t watch any football and just picks who’s going to win based off their country, was so sure Japan was going to win. We kept trying to tell her that Germany was the better team and she was just like, “Nope, the Japanese will win. They’re more determined.” And now she’s looking at us like:
can’t fully wrap around my brain the fact that scaloni, a coach that was criticized for being too young and inexperienced, gave argentina the copa america after 28 years of not winning it and the world cup after 36 years of not winning it.
he gave messi a team that worshiped him, loved him and wanted to fight with claws and teeth for HIS victory.
the merit goes to all the players, but the mastermind of scaloni is on another level.
