#Moment

🇦🇷 ARMY, IMPORTANT TO READ ‼️ We want to talk to you about something that seems important to us, especially given everything that has been happening on social media in recent days. Yesterday it was officially announced who will be the opening act for BTS on the three dates in October: 21, 23, and 24. Following this announcement, we saw a lot of criticism and negative comments toward the producer and the decision of the opening act. We understand that every ARMY can have their own opinion and that it's okay to express disagreement. We do not seek to question that or ask anyone to stop expressing how they feel. However, we believe it is important to consider the context. There have already been previous complaints and massive criticisms regarding various issues related to the show, and the accumulation of these situations can end up having consequences that go beyond an opinion on social media. A recent example occurred in Brazil, where it was communicated that fan projects would not be allowed for BTS shows, even after the fandom had already progressed with the production of 270,000 hand banners for the three dates. This does not mean that the same thing will happen in Argentina, but we believe it is a precedent worth keeping in mind. In Argentina, there are also many projects that ARMY has been preparing for months, with time, organization, effort, and resources behind them. Therefore, we ask you to avoid joining a wave of hate and to also consider the possible consequences, not only for these projects but also for the image we as a fandom build in front of those who work on the shows and in front of the boys themselves. We can disagree, question decisions, and express how we feel without turning it into attacks or hate campaigns. We ask you to take care of the space we are going to share and, above all, the possibilities of doing beautiful things for the boys. We are very close to experiencing something we have been waiting for a long time. 🫶🏻 Hopefully, we can reach October prioritizing what really matters: welcoming BTS, enjoying the shows, and sharing this very special moment as ARMY. 🤍 (translated)

It was still just an exchange. But some handshakes already carry the weight of a promise. Dear leaders of the highest bodies of world football, Haiti is not only asking to play again at Sylvio-Cator... Haiti is waiting to return home!

At what point did we normalize that a mother has to grab a shovel to search for her child? We see them march, dig, beg for answers... and we continue with our lives. It’s not them who should get used to searching. It's us who should have never gotten used to seeing them do it. (translated)

WHAT A HISTORIC MOMENT!!!! TOP 2🔥🔥 DIGUERA AND MACK ACHIEVE TOP 2 IN THE FIRST MATCH OF THE WORLD CUP🇧🇷🏆 @loud_diguera @mackftn #goLOUD (translated)

"After the match with Górnik Łęczna, I told the players in the locker room that they have a big problem with what they showed in the first half. And it's not about the football aspects, but the mental ones. We need to stop saying how good of a team we are, because at the moment we are not. The changes of Gazibegovic and Cheng were made purely for managing their stamina, as they have just completed their first week of training." (translated)

A very good George #Russell wins the #AzerbaijanGP with full merit. The technical responses of the race were clear and simple: - Super power/drag sensitive track, a deadly combination for #Mercedes, practically unbeatable. #Antonelli recovers well but didn't have as much as his teammate. Baku doesn't reward very specific driving styles for these cars/PU and the more traditional drivers stood out. Among the reasons is the abundance of energy that regenerates in all braking zones and allows for a more normal pace. - ZERO degradation, third race in a row where the entire GP is completed without a pit stop. It becomes solely a pure performance race, as if it were always qualifying, and Mercedes flies even more, while those who manage the tires well (look at the Maranello team) can do nothing. - All the corners being the same makes it very easy to hide balance aero issues: #RedBull finds the perfect setup and flies through the corners, then goes very fast on the straights with good Ford PU and a car designed with minimal drag. Great race by #Verstappen, but an outstanding comeback race by #Hadjar. - The "simplicity" of finding the setup compacted the group, with much smaller deltas than usual between the front group and midfield (apart from Mercedes). - #McLaren had potential to be the third force, but not much different from #Ferrari, struggling with braking and a balance that is still to be understood with enormous updates. The long runs of #Norris and #Piastri come from there, but they are still not perfect drivers (and then Lando gets overwhelmed by Colapinto, ending there). - #Ferrari literally does what it can: the balance was good in the end, but there’s a huge elephant in the room, which is the engine that was a tremendous handicap on this track. It's hard to judge the rest if you're missing so much power when at every corner you start from under 100 km/h and then stay at full throttle for 2 km... Nice race by #Leclerc, holding onto P4, Lewis still competitive but with a different setup that didn’t serve him due to the absence of degradation. The #SF26 couldn't exploit the wide window because all the corners were the same and tire management was non-existent... The engine isn't working so it's already a miracle that they finished P4 and P6 with the self-elimination of the McLarens. Right now it's hard to see a way out for this year, except with an aero leap in Austin with the new package, but even if the load increases, there's no thrust and it's tough to use it... However, next Sunday there’s Sepang, a beautiful track and that's good news after these last races that were definitely not exciting. #F1 (translated)

🔴 Esteban Ocon, speaking to Canal+, reflected on his mindset with this Grand Prix 🇫🇷 🎙️ "We deserve these results after difficult days; it feels good to have a car that works. In the end, it's a bit of a shame; we would have liked to have that 7th place. What happened happened during the race. We always gained positions, we only lost one: in the end, that's how it is. In any case, very happy with the result; it's a good omen for the next two (races), that means the car is working well with the improvements, and I hope we can continue to have a healthy car, not like the rest of the season, where it was completely failing. We deserve, I deserve this race today, and it feels good 🤩 In my head, everything is fine; it's the frustration of everything that's happening, which is completely out of my control. F1 is a business; that's how it is. Now I'm happy to be able to fight on equal terms and race as I like. It's just that, when we can't do it and it lasts, it's not normal. I've fought with the best; I've won races in all the championships I've been through: karting, in Formula Renault, in GP3, in F3, even in DTM I started the season making top 10 right away 💪 I deserve better than what's happening right now."
