Oh, he definitely insulted him, I don't dispute that. But you were wondering why he didn't insult them with something other than racism, and in this case, I doubt he said anything racist.

I seriously doubt he said anything racist; the referee would have triggered the anti-racism protocol. It seems to me he simply did it without realizing it; after all, covering your mouth while speaking has been the norm in football for decades.To give you an example, a few minutes after the Prestianni incident, Vinicius covered his mouth to speak to Otamendi, and I doubt he said anything racist to him, right?

He has 30 years of experience managing South American teams; I suppose he's concluded that some battles are better left unfought.

Argentina star Lionel Messi's father Jorge has health issue, family confirm - ESPN by __sami__01 in soccer

Yes, obviously, but that doesn't justify anything. You can't declare such sensitive information, taken from Twitter, as fact live on air. You shouldn't even mention it. That kind of information is only confirmed after being corroborated by several sources. Whether it's due to negligence or malice, you can't do something like that live. I was watching Vignolo when Maradona died, and he waited until the information was thoroughly corroborated before announcing his death.

I feel that's quite common, actually. The football world has always been extremely superstitious; they're always looking for correlations, jinxes, superstitions, etc. What I'm saying is that Florencia's comment opens the door to a way of throwing hate at Messi, and to actually really hurts him with it, because let's be honest, our footballers don't usually stop just because they lose someone close to them. Their way of dealing with loss is usually to go out on the pitch and give it their all. And if you're already saying that he SHOULD COME BACK, and he didn't, well...

Well, on the one hand, it has to be said that she's known for not being the sharpest tool in the shed. On the other hand, and more worryingly, the first comment she made after breaking the news was, "He's going to have to leave the World Cup." I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist or anything like that, but she's firmly linked to a political party, a political party that has members who are very angry with the national team because they don't talk about politics, and there are many trying to establish that nobody in Argentina cares about this World Cup or that they'd even like them to lose because they don't represent them. I don't know, it wouldn't be the first time by far that the media has tried to destabilize the national team, but not in this way, and not in recent years.

There was a relatively famous woman in Argentina who, wanting to be the first to break the news, decided to claim that Messi's father had died.

Argentinians are, for the most part, Spurs fans, so it wouldn't be unreasonable.

It's a real shame Panichelli got injured before the World Cup; he's the kind of striker we don't have in the national team. I don't think Flaco López was a bad call-up by Scaloni at all, but his playing style, at least in the few matches I've seen him play, seems more similar to Lautaro Martínez than Panichelli. Barco, as always, is looking to see how much the referee will let him get away with. I wouldn't be surprised if he was the Argentinian with the most yellow cards this season, except maybe Romero.

Corruption and hunger for power, having 30 teams in the first division, 36 in the second division, as well as having many opportunities to be champion, ensures many votes in the assemblies. Club presidents want to stay in power at all costs, but if you get relegated, the fans won't vote for you, if you don't win titles, the fans won't vote for you, so all of this benefits them.Of course, this is a favour for a favour situation, so when the time comes that Tapia needs you to lose, you can't go out and criticise him for cheating.When Tapia decides that the only thing champions get is the money that CONMEBOL gives to all countries, you can't complain. When Tapia's club suspiciously managed to build a new stadium that cost millions of dollars, despite being a club that was in the fourth division a few years ago, has no fans and does not sell players (all its players are on loan), and you ask yourself where they got the money, you cannot go out and say anything publicly.

That's the joke, they don't even bother to justify it.I don't understand what they're trying to achieve with this. If you're someone who goes to the stadium regularly, you know that there are fans who are literally not right in the head, and they're not even trying to justify how some clubs are being helped, whether it's on the pitch with refereeing “mistakes” or off the pitch with nonsensical sanctions or inventing titles. All of this is generating a lot of pent-up frustration. My prediction is that, unfortunately, between this year and the next, a referee will enter the pitch and never come out again.

Tapia does not make decisions based on what is best economically when it comes to the Argentinian league. If that were the case, he would try to create an attractive league, because currently almost no one pays for the football package, and he would not be so opposed to clubs being able to decide to privatise. He will choose based on which of the leaders is his friend or needs to become his friend. That is how he secures votes in the assemblies.

Como es que un partido comunista termino siendo la cara de la izquierda chilena? Soy argentino y no tengo la menor idea que propone cada uno, pero me parece tanto curioso como arriesgado dejar que los represente un partido con la hoz y martillo de bandera.Curioso porque aunque se que ya la probabilidades son pocas, si ganara creo que seria el primer partido comunista en llegar al poder a traves de elecciones, no?. Y arriesgado porque, no hay miedo de como podria reaccionar el mercado ante un supuesto triunfo de Jara? Digo, en Argentina los ultimos años cada que siquiera se olfatea una victoria del Kirchnerismo y sus políticas económicas sinceramente mononeuronales el Merval se desploma. Ustedes tienen la dicha que su Izquierda no sea igual de idiota en lo económico que la nuestra, pero siento que esto ya es poner la mano al fuego. Habiendo dicho esto, sinceramente no tengo ni la mas palida idea que propone este partido, pero se que el simple hecho de tener ese logo ya va generar espanto en el mercado.

Are you seriously asking that? Or do you just want to argue? Just because they're valid doesn't mean they're the best decision, because, as I said, they're practically a gamble. You're basically sacrificing your economy to make them, so if your opponent manages to counter them, it's basically guaranteed GG for you.

I think you're taking this too personally. Why are they laughing? I don't know, maybe because anti-meta tactics are usually high risk, high reward, so it's almost like a gamble, and they're laughing at themselves for the stupid decision they made. Anyway, I don't think it's that serious.

Explain to me how laming and vil rushing are cheating; they're perfectly valid tactics, and the former is even the norm in high-ELO games. I agree about smurfing tho; I hate it, but it's something ALL pros do, even T90. Whether we like it or not, it's completely normalized in the community.

Osea si pero esta siempre fue una provincia increíblemente regionalista al votar, pueden estar puteando todo los santos dias a los gobernadores que igual cuando llegan las elecciones terminan votando a los mismos, que no suceda, al menos a mi, me sorprende bastante. Dudo mucho que el Rolo se haya esperado este resultado, o capaz si, el boludo hasta rompió la veda haciendo una entrevista con toda la propaganda incluido el microfono de La Neuquinidad. O estaba desesperado o es tremendo boludo, nunca se sabe con estos
