Today is Memorial Day in the USA, which honors their fallen soldiers in not-classified wars. I’m sure the CIA still resents that today is a mere lunes in most of Latinoamérica.
Hey hey I’m just kiddin’. Wars of occupation, amirite? Boop!

Lotta LIV red in those vids! Goes without saying that Real Madrid fans were already inside, feasting on champers and stem-cell chorizo.
-Over to the southeast, still in La France, A S Saint-Étienne (“or simply ASSE”), was relegated from Ligue 1 yesterday, in a playoff at home, losing on penalties to promoted AJ Auxerre. The local crowd went into Murder Mode:
Absolute lunacy asSaint-Étienne are relegated from Ligue 1. Players run away from their pitch-invading fans for their own safety as flares descend and stewards / police attacked. Bonkers.pic.twitter.com/Xp4YwclrjK

“And here come the flares”. That’s Dumbass region shit right there.
WORLD CUP NEWS
-Byron Castillo Update: FIFA has yet to rule on the complaint, by Chile, that the Ecuador international was, gasp, born in Colombia. Chile hopes its Chicanery! Hail Mary produces a Qatar qualification de escritorio—i.e., winning it “on a desk”, not on the field. Ecuador beat Chile in both qualifier games.
Do not confuse de escritorio with de maletín wins. Maletín refers to a briefcase full O’ money, the winning strategy for World Cup hosting. Hosting, not qualifying.
Regardless of what FIFA will decide sometime, Ecuador’s coach (Gustavo Alfaro, from Argentina), decided last Saturday to include Castillo in the squad for the June friendlies against Nigeria, México, and Cape Verde. Bears noting that Castillo recently had a meltdown. He plays for Barcelona SC in the Ecuadorian league and had complained about feeling crushed by stress due to the Chile case. Then, four days ago in an Ecuador league game against Aucas, Castillo committed a penalty, started crying and asked to be taken out. Link’s in Spanish, so allow me to summarize the two-paragraph statement by Chile’s lawyer:

-Among the June friendlies is the Finalissima, played in Wembley next Wednesday. Technically, it is an intercontinental final: the teams are Argentina, the current South American Champion, and Italy, the current Euro—

I’ll probably watch. Psht, it’s the World Series of Hand Gesticulatin’ ffs….

Argentina (Primera Nacional)
¡Dato Divertido! It’s the Argentinian second division.
“But first in our hearts”
–hinchas of mediocre Argie clubs.
¡Hijo de Dato Divertido! This tourney is also known as the “Torneo Malvinas Argentinas 2022”. Lots to unpack here.
First, the usually reliable Google Translate throws out “Malvinas Argentinas Tournament 2022”. By translating half of all words (assuming 2022 is a cognate), GT did 50% of the job and called it a day. This exemplifies Argentinian worksmanship.
Second, a faithful translation would be “Falklands Argentinian Tournament 2022”, while pedants would insist on a contextual translation: “[The] Falklan[d] [Islands Are] Argentinian 2022 Tournament”. Then footnote the 1982, snorts, “war”–a martial cakewalk that was Margaret Thatcher’s opportunistic hour. As the genocidal Argie Junta back then deserves ZERO love, the Iron PM gets a pass for that one.
Anyway, the Argentina Constitution of 1994 says the Falkland Islands are Argentinian. So yeah, the branding Malvinas Argentinas is a statement of fact, not wishcasting through populist reinforcement.
Lest you think I’m editorializing, here’s a microfiche from the era:

Via “Our Dumb Century”
Footnote: per Wiki P (sourcin’ orgy woooo!), Pederast Andrew (né Prince Andrew) “served” in the Falklands War, evacuating casualties from the conflict. In full circle news, his crimes evacuated on the little prestige British Royalty still has. Hey, I’m a silver lining findin’ kinda guy, ok? Ok!

N.Y. Rangers @ [INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]
Did you root for the Hartford Whalers OR get triggered by one weather event AND have a lawyerly disposition? Then you’re in. We’re officially a Rangers support group. “[T]he home team has won every game in which the [INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANKs] have played this postseason”, so some voodoo is in order. This is the best my neighboUrhood botánica had in store,

, so let’s pretend the Rangers are the side piece on the right 🔥
