I hate the Argentine football team.

They are the most despicable, time-wasting, cheating, cynical, nasty, that have ever existed.

The New Zealand rugby union team, possibly the greatest rugby union team of all time, the New Zealand All Blacks,

have a policy called the No Dickheads Policy.

And that works like this.

If they think you're a dickhead, regardless of your talent, you will never ever put on the all-black shirt and play for the all-blacks.

You will get kicked out.

Whereas Argentina have a policy called the all-dickhead policy, which is the only way you get to play for Argentina is if you're a massive bellend.

So you just have to look at their behavior.

The cynicism, the nastiness, the kicking, the persistent fouling.

The moment you touch them, they throw themselves to the ground like they've actually just been shot.

The moment that you touch Messi, there's about 10 of them that just come flooding around and shouting and screaming.

I don't know, like he's some just disabled child who's in a wheelchair

and you've just kicked him into a canal and everybody's had a meltdown like suddenly you're the bad guy.

Instead of him just being a socially awkward, inept dwarf who's brilliant at football and that's about it, and yet you're not allowed to challenge him.

This is what these people are.

And for those of you thinking it's sour grapes, yeah, possibly it's sour grapes, but I don't care.

It's my show.

And this is more important than this, and I'll tell you why.

I'm half South American, Venezuelan, everyone can drink, right?

I grew up, I spent a lot of time in South America and Venezuela.

And I love football.

I've always loved football since before it was cool, since I was eight years old, 1990.

And I used to watch football in South America, in Venezuela.

And in Venezuela, we've got a rubbish football team, but they beat, they're a baseball nation.

And by the way, they beat America, the United States of baseball in a series of three.

So they're great at their own sport.

Obviously, it's not a real sport.

No one, I mean, it's baseball, come on.

Anyway, but they like it, fair play, whatever.

But when the World Cup's on and there's a South American team playing, I'm talking about, I don't know, Brazil, Colombia, Bolivia, Peru.

Everybody will sit down and watch the game and they'll cheer on the South American teams.

They will always do that.

They'll always cheer them on.

The only one they won't cheer on are, that's right, the Argentines.

Why is that?

Because everybody hates them.

You know how everybody hates them because of the nickname that they're given.

You know what we call the Argentines in South America?

The English of South America.

That's how you know they're hated.

They are the worst.

They are the worst team.

The thing that makes it so egregious is their team is filled with incredibly talented footballers.

They don't have to behave the way that they do, but they behave the way that they do because they're dks.

That's why they behave like that.

They don't have to.

They don't need to do that in order to win.

They do that because that's who they are.

There's a very famous joke in Venezuela which talks about the arrogance of the Argentine, and it goes like this.

An Argentine man goes to the bar and he's drunk.

And he gets absolutely plastered and he meets a guy at a bar

and he's obviously he's arrogant like most RG's are and he puts his arm around him and he goes, right, you're going to come home with me.

I have the best house in the whole town.

I have the most beautiful wife.

You are going to see the best.

Only the best.

So he takes his bloke back, not in a sexual way, get your head out of the gutter.

And he talks him round.

He takes him to the living he goes you see the sofa see

that sofa the best leather the softest level feel the lever i so soft

so beautiful takes him to the kitchen he goes you see this work surfaces the marble it is pink marble

taken from italy it is used before in the roman temples

but it has been retaken

and it is now in my kitchen it's a beautiful marble he takes him to the bedroom

and his wife is there getting absolutely pounded by another man in front of them

and the guy's looking around looks at the argentine the argentine

points at the man shagging his wife looks at the guy

and goes you see that man over there that is me and

that is the argentine mentality my friends a terrible country filled

with terrible people who i'm just gonna say it a nation of cheats maradona right the way through every time they cheat,

lie, in order to get what they want.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
