Soccer Blog | Messi and Ronaldo:The gracious and the petulant
Lionel Messi played his last game in the blue and white of the Argentine team. took the adulation of the crowd in Buenos Aires and ended up with two assists and a goal against Benin on an emotional night. And he bowed out graciously. Job done. Gracias Leo
At the other end of the spectrum Ronaldo released a 1740 word statement on social media, accusing manager Jorge Jesus of an âabsolute breach of trustâ while admitting he should be held accountable for his own actions. So heâs determined to go out in a blaze of acrimony.
A nice quote from the Guardian on the difference between the two players.
âMessiâs farewell was an emotional, meticulously planned event that was only slightly spoilt by the obligatory corporate intrusion. Ronaldoâs continues to be a parable starring a martyr effectively calling for his own stoning while handing out the rocks.In the end, last orders are inevitably called for every sporting icon. The only real choice left to them is to drink up and leave through the front door, or get unceremoniously bounced out into a back alley after repeatedly insisting on their God-given right to one last pintâ ( Barry Glendenning)
That sums it up very well.
PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a âmoney siteâ in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Googleâs ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as âlink juiceâ) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
