Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Paredes was way too violent. However, if you watch the video you'll see both how garcia taunts him and how Gavi hits him from behind. Both sides were at fault here, bot only one is Argentina and that's all some see.
If I were Argentinan, I'd be embarrassed for my country today with how that team acted yesterday.
And here you are still stroking away at it.
There's a reason the world was not cheering for Spain, but cheering AGAINST Argentina. Because your whole country are a bunch of fucking losers.
But you're not. That's why you don't and never will understand this locura.
There was actually a pretty big social media campaing. Going as far as using AI to create images of things that never happened.
I honestly don't care because I actually watched the games. We got to the final because we deserved it, not because of favours. Period. If you think you're better than us, prove it on the pitch like spain did. Otherwise, keep watching on tv.
Disagree VARgentina, you've gotten away with a lot of hate the last few years because of Messi's fanboys. Once he retires people will remember that Argentina are and always have been dirty cheats. At least you are the best in the world at something, chin up lad!
Imaging having so much aura that people have to make up a theory that everything was scripted and arranged for you to win. Also, is it a bad thing to be a "messi fanboy"? Like literally, you're saying that rooting for the best player in the history of the sport is a bad thing. It's just sad to see xD
You should watch football more often than just once every 4 years. You might learn a thing or two.
Look at you going around defending the Argentinian thugs who just produced what has been described by many as the worst world cup final performance by a team ever. Another accolade for Messi to win at the tail end of his career as one of the best players of all time.
Argentina were pathetic in the final and even worse after the final whistle. It was absolutely men against entitled little boys out there and the rest of the planet is delighted Spain and football won on the night. I only wish I could get that 2 1/2 hours of my life back. Dirty, cheating Argentine losers stole it from me like they tried to steal the world cup.
Sure buddy. Rage on.
I don't need to rage, Spain won. Just calling out the lame Argentine cry babies.
That's it, keep it coming. Better outside than inside.
You could donate your eyes to people that would actually use them.
You and your kind are classless.
"Your kind" lol. You're my kind dude. We're all people.
Also, using that kind of video and zoom as if it was something scandalous is pretty embarrassing. Almost as embarrassing as giving the golden ball to a player that had zero goals or assists.
You are joke, downplaying a straight up assault of a sucker punch from Molina. You are classless, and always will be, for the whole world to see.
Maybe you should revisit the definition of sucker punch. Gavi can help you out.
😂 you really are shameless. Let me guess, not living anymore in Argentina but still carrying the inferiority complex abroad? Get some education and some self reflexion and learn to live with your emotions.
Classic. No comebacks so let's project our own issues on them. Sick burn buddy. I won't be able to sleep tonight.
Holy god, the people are bringing more receipts than a fucking tax return and you can't stop the denial! You're getting more ratios than a cookbook for cooking for banquets.
But like, thanks for the free entertainment. This is basically a modern day gallows where we are throwing tomatoes in your face.
We're asking you to acknowledge that factual events took place, we aren't saying other teams didn't do things like that; but we are talking to you, not to them.
