A Casemiro, el mundo lo tiene como un picapedrero, un destructor del juego. Sin embargo, el mediocampista es mucho más que un agente con licencia para golpear. En sus botas hay talento con la bola, una efectiva distribución de pases y de vez en cuando una cuota de gol.
Sí, es raro ver a Casemiro anotando, pero cuando lo hace, es difícil de olvidar. Y prueba de esto es el golazo que marcó este lunes ante Suiza y que le dio a Brasil su paso a los octavos de final del Mundial de Catar.
World champion boxer Canelo Álvarez is mad at Lionel Messi and warned that the next time they see each other it's not going to be pleasant for the Argentine. Why is Canelo so angry? According to him, Messi disrespected the Mexican flag and the Mexican jersey after Argentina's 2-0 win over El Tri in the World Cup.
The big problem with Canelo's story is that Messi did not disrespect any Mexican symbol, which makes the whole situation dumb.
So why bother writing an article about it? Because fake news and toxic nationalism are viruses that need to be eradicated.
