El comentario más sensato que he leído desde ayer. Gracias
Hay que tener cuidado y ser justo con las acusaciones a Owono. Me explico: Su temeridad ha acabado en tragedia porque además de su error, también ha habido una cadena de negligencias en los servicios médicos. Su acción es la principal causante de la desgracia pero no la única. Esto hay que tenerlo muy claro. Tacharlo de asesino me parece una barbaridad. El Fútbol es un deporte rápido y de contacto. Las decisiones se deben tomar en cuestión de segundos. Raro es el fin de semana que no hay algún choque parecido a este. La diferencia es que la mayoría afortunadamente acaban en golpes fuertes que no pasan a mayores. Y ahora yo le doy la vuelta a la jugada para que ustedes reflexionen: ¿Qué hubiese pasado si Owono en el momento clave de la acción se hubiese apartado para evitar el choque? Pues que la jugada hubiese acabado en gol del Tenerife y el portero hubiese sido altamente criticado por 'salir a por uvas'. Con esto lo que quiero hacer ver es que es muy fácil dejarse llevar por la corriente acusadora cuando ocurre una desgracia de este tipo pero luego los aficionados somos los primeros que estamos con el cuchillo preparado y afilado para criticar sin piedad los errores propiamente futboleros. Pero hay que saber mirar la imagen en panorámico y meterse en los zapatos de los demás. No me gustaría ser ahora mismo Owono. Una decisión en centésimas de segundo ha costado la vida de un compañero, algo que le perseguirá en su cabeza el resto de su vida. Debe ser sancionado y seguramente su castigo sea ejemplar. Nosotros como aficionados debemos condenar la temeridad de la acción y nada más. Owono no quería acabar con la vida de un compañero. Owono no es un asesino. Reflexionen antes de disparar.

🚨❌ Serious VAR mistake yesterday in the Chelsea vs. Manchester United match. 📸 Estêvão was NOT offside in the build-up to the hosts' second disallowed goal.
Replying to @Blue_Footy
@FutOffsides we need this checked… surely it wasn’t offside

You could write master’s thesis (psychology) about this video
Kathy Bates says she was sure she never thanked her mother in her Misery Oscar speech, then the interviewer showed her the tape "She gave up her retirement because I was born so late in life to them." "When I won the Oscar for Misery, she said, I don't know what all the excitement about, you didn't discover the cure for cancer." "Why did I think I didn't thank her?" "Because she should have had my life." "I wanted her spirit to come into me and enjoy everything I was enjoying because of what she'd given up." Her mom's whole review of the Oscar was that she didn't cure cancer, and Kathy still believed she had shorted her that night. Then she watches herself thank her mom at home, right there in the speech. Some people never stop trying to pay their parents back. You can hear it in how quiet she gets at the end. ft: @CBSSunday CBS Sunday Morning on youtube

✅ "When you're averaging as much as Sachin Tendulkar, you should be getting spoken about purely as a batter." 🏏 "Let alone the 290 Test wickets & the 200 catches that he took." Kyle Abbott debates why Jacques Kallis is never considered among the world's best ever players

Pierre Gasly had 44 points on August 23 when the Dutch GP ended. Since then, Gasly has scored points in multiple races. Gasly now has only 42 points on October 26. You won't find a weirder F1 stat without context this year.

LEGENDARY: Michael Vick led one of the greatest comebacks in #NFL history against the #Giants in 2010. Down 31-10 with 8 minutes left, the #Eagles rallied to win 38-31 on DeSean Jackson’s walk-off punt return touchdown. Miracle at the Meadowlands.
