    There are no examples of top-level teams doing anything similar; yes, there have been bad or mediocre teams doing things like that, but it’s something that tournaments have been trying to curb for a long time, it’s not something to boast about and take to the highest level, as Argentina has done so many times.

    The same goes for racism; many Spanish fans chant nonsense believing it’s justified in the stadium. The difference is that the press, institutions, and society are ashamed of it and try to shame those who do it, instead of justifying and defending it with things like “Well, it’s just the game.”

    That is simply not true, no one has played like this, not 30 years ago or ever, things like this (https://imgur.com/nEfw1Tr) are not acceptable on a football field and never have been and things like this (https://imgur.com/tuvOdJ1) are not acceptable on a stadium and never have been.

    There is no coordinated campaign against argentina either out of envy or strange unknown interests, It is an accumulation of years playing outside the rules, playing “roughly” does go against the rules, the rules are explicitly for that, scoring a goal with your hand is illegal and should embarrass whoever scores it if the referee does not realize it, It’s not something about “smart people” it’s something about cheaters and obviously the rest of us don’t like anyone to win that way, I don’t think it’s anything surprising

    I don’t use it for privacy, I would never use a free VPN for that and even less one without a paid version (where do they get the money for the service?) I use it to bypass regional blocks or blocked pages in my country (due to piracy in most cases) and for that it works quite decently.

    Yes, I think that at least part of the property is owned by a Chinese consortium (I think not 100% of the company) it also uses Chormium with everything it implies and as I said the VPN is free which itself should make anyone suspicious. I didn’t mean to say that opera is perfect as a browser, but this specific service provides it better than firefox and despite its problems, for me, the work boards function is what makes me use it by default
