What's important here is that the world is talking about Malvinas again. The British government only whines because they're scared. The entire world has become hyper aware of one more bit of British dark history, one of Britain's remaining, violently claimed colonies, a military base in a strategic location in South America, near Antarctica.
It's ultimately idiotic to whine over how many yellow cards were awarded in a match or *squints eyes* whether straight Bellingham was targeted because of homophobia I guess??? When this is the picture that went around the world. This was the cover of multiple journals, it was plastered all over social media just yesterday. This scares Milei, scares the British government, scares FIFA, and it scares all fascists. I don't think we're appreciating it enough.
This visibilizes a cause we've been seeking justice over for the last 44 years while the world undermined it. This is one step towards making everyone aware of the dark bits of history that everyone is ignorant to. It's not just Malvinas. It's the U.S. backed military dictatorship that sent all our hungry teenagers to fight trained soldiers to their inevitable deaths or lifelong trauma. It's the mourning that surrounds us every day. It's what makes us relentless and hungry for the fight. Both on and off the pitch.
I don't think we appreciate enough just how revolutionary the consequences of this will be.
This is what happens when famous people use a massive, international platform to speak out against injustice in the world.
FIFA, England, Trump, Javier Milei: the world is watching. And what they've seen cannot be unseen. And what they've read cannot be unread. And this picture will live in the history books and the minds of football fans for ages.
No sanction can undo that. All the money in the world can't undo that
