LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

@cucurella3 well deserved my goat

@Rubyking7000 @Iconic_Mourinho this behavior has nothing to do with Messi or Ronaldo

@Iconic_Mourinho They are not hated by all the neutrals... They are hated by Ronaldo fans because Messi plays for them... Every other things you guys are saying is just you trying to justify your hatred for Messi's success

I have been thinking about why Argentina are so hated by everyone. Is it all the polemics with FIFA? I don't think that explains everything. Is it Messi hate? That doesn't make sense, because all the neutrals also seem to hate Argentina. And I think I found out the reason.… For the first time in 30 years, Argentina won trophies. And within 5 years, they became the most hated NT in the world. Are they hated because they win? No, past World Champions didn't get this hate (in fact, those teams got more admired after winning). They're hated because of how they handled success. Let's elaborate: In many sports' rivalries it's easy to spot who is the dominant team and who is the smaller team, just by looking at each team's posture. This can be called the "big brother x little brother effect." The "big brothers" are teams that are consistently the best, and they know it. When they win, they see it as a natural result of their superiority. So they shake their opponents' hands and move on to the next one. Most dominant clubs in each league usually behave like this (Bayern is the best example). Good examples are also NTs such as Germany, France, Brazil, and Spain (more recently). The "little brothers" are teams that feel like the eternal underdog. When they beat their "big brothers", they have to gloat, rub it in everyone's face and make it last. They do whatever is necessary to beat the bigger team (even unethical behavior). These teams are sour losers and obnoxious winners. A great example is Atletico Madrid. But in international football, the best example of this - by far - is Argentina. Since the dawn of football, Argentina have been the little brothers to Brazil. When Argentina won their first World Cup, Brazil already had 3. Argentina had Maradona, but Brazil already had "King Pele". For every world class player Argentina produced, their neighbours Brazil produced 5. Decades and decades of this. What can you do? You accept your fate. You are the little brother. You taunt, you provoke, you do anything to get out of Brazil's shadow. For every relevant achievement, you rub it in everyone's face and you don't let anyone forget. Then came the 2020s. Brazil entered a football crisis, and Argentina finally won again. But, unlike previous World Champions, they felt the need to rub it in all their opponents' faces, so no one would forget. But why are they still so attached to this obnoxious posture in 2026? Brazil have gone decades without winning the World Cup, while barely producing any remarkable players. Argentina were going for back to back World Cups! Why not win with some class? Why not be the big brother, finally? This would be the time. Maybe this "little brother" phenomenon can also be individual… How is the life of Argentina's players most of the time? Apart from Messi, McAllister and Lautaro, it doesn't look great… 6 of them actually play for Atletico Madrid. Enzo has never even won a domestic trophy. At Chelsea, it's been all disappointing seasons, while being highly disliked by many of Chelsea's fans. Romero's club career is also a disaster. No domestic trophies. Tottenham went downhill right after signing him. He's also highly disliked by many of Spurs' fans. Emiliano Martinez spent his career as an Arsenal reject, and later joined Gerrard's Villa, where he's never won anything. Even Otamendi, who played for Pep's Man City, was always seen as the weak link of that team, the perfect target for opponents. Argentina has a culture of "little brother", but most of their players also became "little brothers" in football. So they kept feeling like underdogs, even after winning 3 trophies in a row with the NT. This was the year they should have become the "big brothers" and started behaving like a winning team. They didn't. They became an example of how not to act in sports. They became hated because they couldn't handle their own success. Argentina, the greatest "little brothers" in football history.

@FIFAWorldCup @McDonalds they should've given this to Argentina instead

The Netherlands are the winners of the FIFA Fair Play Award presented by @mcdonalds 🤝🏆

It was inevitable

Never thought I’d see the day where Argentina receive a red card but here we are

ask yourself, why and how can roblox continuously get away with increasing taxes & fees? is it because there are tools being actively worked on that blur the line between human content and generative ai garbage? and when generative ai becomes the norm due to the nonexistent barrier of entry, then you the human artist will be given the same payment, taxes, and treatment as someone who did not even want to bother with art and simply wants to get rich quickly

@BitwiseAndrea we will finally be able to play the Escape Spongebob obby irl

what do you think they’re gonna put here I hope it’s a skybridge

@Lovespunn 🤩🤩

Coach HQ and archives/Flagship locations. I wish I could have filmed the archives! I truly cannot express enough how beautiful so many pieces were and on top of that, some date so far back. It was a treat to see the BTS on these collections. From previous designers to entire fits some of your fave celebs have rocked on the stage or in magazines! 🥰✨ The ones in the displays are the only ones I could record via the entry before they took me to an entire floor of archives and I got to see some talented people working on bags in the live. This was an experience I’ll never forget 💯🫶 #CoachNY

@2nd_zoeyy Ah, human. Yes. Human. Me. Me human. Real.

I need to know who here is still an actual human. Say something human.

هذا اللي لابس أحمر منو ؟ أشوفه بمباريات أسبانيا أكثر من بيدري !

@LostRemnants Congrats!!

class of '26 🎉🎉 #roblox #robloxdev #uni

@SuperBevarooni Sorry to hear that Bev.. get well soon 🙏

This last month has not been very kind to me health wise. Dealing with 2 DVT’s in my right calf (blood clots) and other things they are still figuring out. It’s mentally, physically and emotionally draining but I’m trying my best to keep positive Appreciative you all 🫶🏻

@ShipArch Congrats!

New showcase i helped make guys

@pff_kered @MichaelDoesLife lmao

@MichaelDoesLife Crazy how you catch all these details when neither of your eyes are looking at the screen

Black Flag Remake truly is a sight to behold! It's UNREAL how Ubisoft managed to squeeze every ounce of power from these consoles! Amazing job Ubisoft!

@MrChickenRocket this is awesome

Here's what you can do with the new Roblox server auth system! The physics engine participates in SAuth too, so these boneless cats are zero fakery - 100% real sim and forces, no input lag. The "no cheats" bit is barely the point. Should I make a tutorial? #robloxdev

@TheMG3D their food must be shit if this is how they advertise it

How hard is it to just take a picture of the food you make?

@dvdko_ @Roblox @RollingStone holy cook

I was in charge of designing a logo variation for the Roblox x The Rolling Stones event! It's available as a UGC item in The Block! @Roblox @RollingStone

@kitosan that’d be an instant skip for me

Restaurants, replacing actual photos of your food with AI images is not the flex you think it is

@IBellaYT at least we still have classic faces irl 🙏🙏

my diva besties ❤️

@Creator_Rights is one of the only ways virtual creators can help protect their livelihoods. Complaining on X may get engagement and likes, but it rarely creates lasting change. Imagine if physical workers had never fought for the protections they have today. People need to advocate for their rights and livelihood’s. In my relatively short time on Roblox, I’ve already seen: • My own top selling items broken by platform updates. • Face creators given extremely short deadlines that put their businesses at risk. • The PLS DONATE update instantly impacting the income of its creator and team. • Mass AI moderation waves wrongfully banning creators, including myself. Entire livelihoods are affected overnight. The reality is this isn’t just a Roblox problem. It’s a metaverse-wide issue. Virtual creators build real businesses, yet the industry still lacks many of the established protections and collective advocacy that workers in traditional industries have fought for over decades. That’s one of the reasons ardor* intentionally builds across multiple virtual platforms instead of relying on just one. Diversifying doesn’t remove the risk, but it helps prevent one platform from determining the future of our business or my family stability. Virtual creators deserve advocacy just like every other industry. #Notgoing
