Six world champions with Argentina in Mexico 86 visited Carlos Salvador Bilardo this Thursday afternoon. This is Oscar Garré, Jorge BurruchagaSergio Batista, Carlos Tapia, Ricardo Giusti and Oscar Ruggeri.
The image was released by both Burru and Cabezón on their Instagram account. Jorge wrote: “What a beautiful afternoon we had, maestro!” Meanwhile, the ESPN speaker said: “Visit to the greats. How good to see you well, Carlos.”
Bilardo, 86 years old, spends his days in an apartment in Caballito, with permanent medical assistance. Doc suffers from Hakim-Adams syndrome, a neurodegenerative disease, which causes him to lose track of time and confuse events from the past.
In addition to his family (wife, daughter and grandchildren), the former midfielder usually comes to visit him. Miguel Ángel Lemmewho was his footballer at Estudiantes de La Plata and then field assistant at Sevilla in Spain, in addition to other jobs together.
The war between Argentine Football Federation and the government of Javier Milei added a new chapter in the last hours of this Thursday after the General inspection of justice (IGJ) will accept the appeal presented by the lawyers of the parent company of baseball and will raise the dispute National Court of Civil Appeals the dossier that calls into question the legitimacy and validity of the Ordinary General Assembly of last October 17 in which the early re-election was carried out Claudio Chiqui Tapia and the suspension of relegations for the 2024 season First Division.
The IGJ, commanded by the man from Mendoza Daniel Roque Vitologranted the AFA the possibility to present a protection appeal – although Viamonte 1366 had not yet sent the official report – and did so with “revolution effect”. Consequently, until the judges assigned by draw decide otherwise, the resolution that prevented the discussion of the last eight items on the agenda of the Assembly held at the Lionel Andrés Messi facility remains in force. Therefore, Still to be seen are Tapia’s third term, the move to Ezeiza and the abolition of relegations.
Now everything was left in the hands of the Section D of the National Court of Civil Appeals of the Federal Capital, composed of the judge Gabriele Rollerithe surrogate Massimiliano Caia and the secretary Daniele Pittala.
“The Chamber must first assess whether the appeal has been correctly accepted by the IGJ and then, if so, transfer it to the Inspectorate General of Justice for five days to respond to the AFA’s arguments in its appeal,” judicial sources explained. When will it be resolved? The maids still have to wait for all these bureaucratic procedures to be completed before they start studying the file. For now it is not possible to calculate the times.
The AFA, through its Legal Department, had appealed last Friday against the IGJ’s resolution which had declared a part of the Ordinary General Assembly invalid. The letter, approximately 60 pages long, asked for the revocation of the resolution of the body dependent on the Ministry of Justice, while at the same time targeting President Milei, whom it blamed for this short circuit and accused of having attempted to “force entry of Sports Anonymous Societies”.
“Since the beginning of the mandate, they have launched a prolonged public offensive against the AFA and its authorities, through which they have attempted to force SAD’s entry into Argentine football, specifically demanding its admission as members of my client, despite this is expressly provided for by the AFA Statute in this regard”, we read among other things in the writing.
Attack and counterattack between the AFA and the Milei Government
Milei is determined not to give in. In one of his last television interviews, the president once again criticized Chiqui Tapia and the leadership. “It is one of the most important battles to fight. First of all because Argentina is the nursery of the world, that is, the best footballers in the world come from here and we could have a local championship of much better quality if it were not for the shady management that has l ‘AFA”, he underlined in conversation with the Todo Noticias signal.
The advance continued on Tuesday with the publication in the Official Journal of DNU 939/24 which hit the Tapia administration hard. Just as I predicted Clarionthe Executive canceled decree 1212 which granted tax benefits to clubs and which had been reinstated by Sergio Massa during last year’s campaign. Now a commission made up of government representatives and footballers must look for a more “sustainable” alternative, according to the concept used. Federico Sturzenegger, Minister of Deregulation and State Transformation.
The same manager published a message in which he explains that the special social security scheme for football will end in six months and that for the redesign or renewal a “non-binding” opinion will be necessary which includes members of his portfolio, the Ministry of Daniele Scioli’s Sport, of the Deputy Chief of Staff, of the former AFIP, of the Ministry of Labour, Public Work and Social Security, of the National Administration of Social Security and Human Capital. They will be joined by the managers of the AFA and three football clubs, two from the First Division and one from Ascenso.
Sturzenegger explained the scope of 1212 in a large post published in the sources (tickets, season tickets and television broadcasts), with which these obligations are cancelled”, was his introduction.
“The problem is that the current rate is not sufficient to compensate for the contributions and, for this reason, between last November and April, The scheme generated a fiscal deficit of approximately $7 billion“he added.
“The Massa decree 510/23, as a campaign gift, had included the AFA as a beneficiary of the system, but at the same time required that the system be reviewed one year after its implementation to assess whether it had achieved economic equilibrium. Given the obvious deficit that the system has caused, it needs to be reviewed,” he concluded.
In objective terms, the compensation that the State assumed for this contribution from the clubs from November last year to April this year was equal to 7,091,928,560 dollars, as stated in the provision published in the Official Journal. In subjective terms, the same text indicates that the figure constituted “a loss in the general regime”.
Where do the numbers come from? Of the difference between what the clubs pay and what they would have to pay if they didn’t have the special regime. The AFA is withholding tax for 7.5% of the gross amount received from various incomes.
It applies to proceeds from the sale of match tickets and television rights of the National Team, the Professional League, the First National Team, the B, C, Federal A and women’s football clubs.
That is, for every 1,000 pesos, the AFA retains 75 dollars which it transfers to public coffers. Without the 1212 the bill will be different: for every 1,000 you would retain approximately just over $300. From this point of view, the Government understands that it has lost 7 billion. And given that Milei’s policy includes chainsaws in all sectors, football will be no exception, it’s clear.
Him Neochemical arena It was difficult to play due to the large amount of water falling Saint Paul. Therefore, the duel was complex for the footballers of Racing and of Corinthianswho failed to find their balance in large periods of the match. But water is also complicated Gustavo Adolfo Costasthe coach who usually supports the players. What happened to DT?

I TASTED COSTAS AND A TERRIBLE SLIP UNDER THE FLOOD OF SAO PAOLO!! Watch out for the laughter in the background on the substitutes’ bench… don’t be mean! pic.twitter.com/9rA860oUVw
The first of the falls was the least serious. Costas followed the continuity of an action and fell violently on his right arm. The blow was so strong that everyone on the bench of the local team turned towards the academic coach. Everyone laughed; even the stadium staff who wore blue shirts.
But the danger of the playing field did not intimidate Costas, who continued to run as always and live the duel with passion. The technician, 61 years old, goes here and there. And in one of his many sprints, the coach fell on his back again and got muddy again. Costas quickly got up and asked his collaborators for a pair of boots to take off his sneakers which played a couple of tricks on him.

In the second half Costas came out with different shoes to be more decisive. They were pipe brand boots, black and white. And then, luckily, the show stopped and for the technician it only stopped raining a little.

Yes, astrology has always helped us understand human relationships, especially when it comes to connections compatibility between the signs.
In this sense, although some links flow effortlessly from the start, others live conflicts and tensions constants.
While we are generally concerned with finding out how good our sign is harmonizes with that of the person we are meeting, it is also very nice to get to know each other with which signs are we incompatible.
And to know the details “conflictual” relationships.the site Astrotalk explains what the signs are incompatible of the zodiac
What are the most incompatible signs of the zodiac
Aries and Cancer
From opposing and contrasting natures,These two signs are incompatible. It is the fiery, impulsive energy of Ariesin his constant search for excitement, he completely clashes with the security and stability he seeks Cancer.
Yes, Aries, a Fire sign, advances with trust and independence, while Cancer, a Water sign, desires emotional connection and intimacystand out from the specialized site.
In general, the conflicts and the misunderstandings between them they are born completely different approaches and priorities. Aries’ tantrums cloud Cancer’s concentration and cause anxiety that becomes unmanageable.
And as if that wasn’t enough, Aries is sociable and Cancer prefers, without a doubt, tranquility of home.
But while it’s not impossible for them to find common ground, they will have to come to an agreement dedication, understanding and will accept their differences.
Aquarius and Taurus
Air and Earth: the elements that characterize the signs of Acquarium and of Bull. According to astrology, they are considered the most incompatible of the zodiac
What their personalities are like contrastingThey tend to have frequent fights. It happens that Aquarius is independent and unpredictable, and, on the contrary, Taurus prefers routine, stability and practicality.
In the relationsaddition Astrotalklook for Taurus safety and consistencythey intend that their ties can provide them with a stable and solid foundation with loyalty and commitment; However, Aquarius values freedom and independence above all.
Between these two signs, the communication becomes a great challenge. On the one hand, Aquarius prioritizes intellectual stimulation and innovation; On the other hand, Taurus seeks emotional connection and tranquility.
How can aloof Aquarians coexist with possessive Taureans? The key to compatibility between these signs is to find a balance between stability and freedom.
Gemini and Virgo
Astrologically, these signs they collide in more ways than one. Both governed by Mercurythey have such contrasting personalities and characteristics that they often lead to misunderstandings and conflicts.
Twinsan Air sign, is characterized by spontaneity and a permanent need for intellectual stimulation. On the front side, Virginan Earth sign, values practicality and attention to detail, is meticulous, organized and structured.
Naturally, this incompatibility will affect the file communication among them: Gemini’s fast-paced conversation can overwhelm Virgo, who prefers to process information at a slower pace, site details.
THE carefree and spontaneous nature Gemini can clash with the tendency to be Virgo critical and perfectionist.
Despite this, with a open communication, I commit and willingness to do so understand their differencesthese signs will be able to find common ground and create a harmonious connection.
Scorpio and Leo
As indicated Astrotalk, Scorpio AND Lion I’m the more incompatible of the zodiac

Thus, the lions, with their natural need attention and admirationthey often clash with the desire to privacy and independence of Scorpions.
As for the communicationLeo tends to be direct and expressive, while Scorpio prefers a more reserved and introspective approach.
Scorpio’s secretive nature and tendency to be spiteful can fuel Leo’s need for constant validation, leading to power struggles and emotional conflicts.

With different priorities: -Libra values aesthetics and social interaction; Capricorn, practicality and professional advancement – a substantial barrier in your relationship.
Libra, being an Air sign, thrives intellectual stimulation and look for the constant change and Capricorn, an Earth sign, continues to thrive routine and this family. This fundamental difference in their elemental qualities results in a struggle to find common points and compromises.

Additionally, Libra’s need for constant companionship can overwhelm the more reserved Capricorn, resulting in feelings of discontent suffocation and detachment.
In conclusion, the Libra and Capricorn relationship faces significant challenges due to their contrasting values, different decision-making styles, and lifestyles. all this hinders its ability to form a harmonious bond.
The image is moving. Emblematic vehicles between 1937 and 1980 seem to emerge from the treasure chest of memories to reunite in a unique and unforgettable caravan for those who arrive along the route to contemplate their passage, for those who are surprised in the different cities upon their arrival. The older ones smile grateful and excited, with vivid memories of other times framed by those cars that represent them. The youngest, amazed by an unimaginable past.
It’s part of what the Argentine Automobile Club (ACA) Historic Grand Prix causes. A competition that brings together those ancient jewels of mechanics to complete an incredible ride, on a route of over 3,500 kilometres. And there the 135 vehicles that with great pride left the Palermo headquarters of the centenary institution (120 years old) speed up.
From that classic starting ramp on Avenida Del Libertador, the route map marked the city of Junín, in the province of Buenos Aires, Santa Rosa (La Pampa), Neuquén, San Martín de Los Andes (there was the rest day ) and then back again to Neuquén, Bahía Blanca and closing on Friday evening in Mar del Plata.
The competition is regular. That is why the quiet passage of the caravan is due to the care of those cars, which receive more love than the owners’ own family, as many of them claim, but also calculating each control step to the thousandth. For the elite group, the race, after thousands of kilometers, is defined by tenths of a second.
Camaraderie is commonplace. Everyone helps each other. Everyone is involved in the state of the rest of the vehicle fleet. Not only because most of them know each other after many years spent sharing a passion for classic irons, but also because everyone knows that no one is exempt from some quirk that can appear among old valves and cylinders.
The first arrest took place in Junín, in front of the parish of San Ignacio. And shortly after the historic Grand Prix landed, the bride from Friday night’s wedding appeared. An unforgettable moment for everyone, especially for the bride and groom, who were welcomed with a very special choir of horns.
Each city has its own particularity. And in each of them, Jorge Revello, second vice president of the ACA and responsible for every realization of this particular event for 21 years, travels in one of the organization’s cars. “A true traveling museum,” he repeats proudly when mentioning the competition.
“Every year we carry out this test with great commitment, which is full of enthusiasts, professional regularity test crews, but fundamentally car enthusiasts who own vehicles that belonged to their families. Or those who went looking for old cars to preserve them. “We all do the Historic Grand Prix together, with the idea of honoring through motor sports those GPs that made our country home,” underlines Revello, who shakes hands with each crew at the arrival of each stage. Or with the detail of delivering a bouquet of flowers to women on Mother’s Day Sunday, in Neuquén.
The list of participants includes 14 foreign crews. Uruguay and Paraguay lead the fury of historic cars in this traditional meeting, which, for example, is exciting when you pass a rural school, on the side of the traditional Route 40, where the students, no more than 30, and their two teachers , they had the task of offering an unforgettable greeting that provokes tears of gratitude.
The Historic Grand Prix is also supportive. Each crew delivers 5 kilos of non-perishable food to Caritas, to be distributed throughout the area. A custom as traditional as the GPH as it has toured much of the country over the years.
Historic coupés, previous models, cars representing the clubs, such as the Falcon, the Citroën 3 CV, the Fiat 600, the Peugeot 404, the Renault 12, among others, alternate with each arrival. There the crew members comment on sensations, experiences or simply exchange tools in case some element comes loose during the demanding journey of these machines. And there are also representatives of the Automobile Club Argentino, with the daily service they provide to the member, but focused on the distinct caravan. Two “stretchers”, a truck and six expert mechanics become the guardian angels of the beautiful vehicles.
The Historic Grand Prix recalls the passing of those sprinters who made their homeland through motor sports. This time at a controlled pace, like every regularity test, as if to give value to every kilometer traveled with historical pieces from the national industry and from other times that seem to return with every acceleration of the old engines.

Impact on Google
The repercussions of the news of the death of the American pilot, flight instructor and engineer have been reflected in Google search “trends” in the last few hours.
Argentine users, after hearing the tragic news, turned to the platform to gain more knowledge on the issue.
The Central Bank assured this on Thursday morning the monthly increase in the exchange rate of 2% is approaching the level of inflationstated that there will be new measures to ease currency restrictions – although first attempts are made to accelerate this process through the large investment regime (RIGI) -, and stated that the idea is to return to the international debt markets, a once the government is done with its “homework.”
“The creeping 2% peg was a key anchor because the confrontation between the opposition and the government created fiscal uncertainty and our rate policy was unusual, so we needed the 2% peg and now inflation is very close to 2%, bringing us closer to zero because it is 2% plus international inflationthen we will have liquidity for a healthy foreign exchange market,” BCRA Vice President Vladimir Werning said in Washington.
And then he said he was optimistic about the normalization of the exchange market: “We have room for changes in the interest rate and exchange rate, we will take the next steps, but we are looking for ways to accelerate them“We have a balance between equities and flows, we have done a lot with the former, but in terms of flows we have the RIGI regime, if you invest $200 million or more you have no exchange restrictions.”
The number two of the Central made these statements at the annual event of the International Institute of Finance (IIF), where he participated in a panel on the challenges facing emerging markets. Werning has been in Washington since Monday as part of the delegation led by Luis Caputo they went to the summit of the Monetary Fund, where they try to unblock a new program with the body with fresh funds.
Argentina has become an attractive emerging market for investment funds thanks to the low price of its government bonds. Stocks rose 2% this Thursday and country risk fell to 1,050 basis points. The possibility of the government receiving flows from organizations and banks reduces restructuring risks of debt, but the risk of Argentine debt remains high with rates of 15%.
“Our vision is to return to the markets once we have finished our homework, it is not easy. We received the worst indicators, but with the strong conviction of the president what we did was lower inflation from levels of 25% per month to 4%, the economy entered a great recession, but it is already exiting mid-year, we have three months of improvements in leading indicators, but we had to repay the previous government’s debt,” Werning said.
The vice-president of the BCRA acknowledged that there were doubts in the market “whether it could go wrong” and that since the middle of the year they have left the “black swans” behind and are starting to see “white swans”. In this sense, he noted that “economic policy served to anchor the exchange rate and capital flows were normalized“, although they have yet to remove controls that limit the outflow of dollars.
“The trading account works well, We have restrictions, we want to eliminate them in the future, but we face many challengesThe first is to eliminate the fiscal deficit, it is the cornerstone of our program, that is what we have done in a month, we have achieved significant results during the year and the banking system is normalizing, allowing liquidity, it is a good starting point first eliminate capital controls,” he explained.
And he underlined that the economy began a remonetization process in the middle of the year: “Inflation has fallen and many Argentines want to have pesos, this is fundamental if we want to remonetize the economy, the banks immediately understood that without the issuance government would profit from loans to the private sector, are reorienting the business, and In the last month the Argentines have earned 15,000 million dollarsdoubles Macri’s money laundering.”
Finally, during negotiations with the IMF as part of the organization’s annual summit, Werning stressed that the government has done “enough” with the normalization of import payments. “Companies have paid their debts and there is room for exchange rate flexibility, we want to do it from a position of strengthInitially it was a huge devaluation and now prices are more aligned”, he assured.

Donald Trump may have had an affair with a porn star, But if he returned to the White House he could ban that industry, as adult film actors warn in a campaign urging young people to vote against the Republican on November 5.
The #HandsOffMyPorn campaign (Hands off my porn) invested $200,000 in ads on adult websites, with the warning that Trump’s senior allies want to ban pornography and jail industry stars.
And they are calling for action at the polls: “If you care about adult entertainment, if you consume or create adult entertainment, you need to vote on November 5,” porn actress Siouxsie Q tells AFP. “There’s nothing else way of doing It.” .
The campaign seeks to address Project 2025, a plan to reform the federal government if Trump wins.
The project’s 900-page prologue reads: “Pornography should be banned. “The people who make it and distribute it should be jailed.”
Trump has sought to distance himself from Project 2025, but dozens of his allies and former members of his administration co-wrote the document. Democrats argue that many of the proposals coincide with those of the Republican candidate.
The #HandsOffMyPorn campaign is aimed primarily at men, who consume four times more pornography than womenaccording to the Institute for Family Studies.
A few weeks before the close elections between Trump and the vice president, the Democrat Kamala Harris, Polls show a wide gender gap among voters.
Trump has greater support from male votersregularly directing his sexist rhetoric at young people on right-wing podcasts.
The advertisements
#HandsOffMyPorn “public service announcements” are delivered to users in contested election states, such as Pennsylvania, Arizona and Georgia, almost always before they view adult videos.
Actresses like Siouxsie Q appear in ads calling out something like, “Hey, I know you’re busy. I know you’re doing something. Wait. If you want to keep doing this, you really need to vote on November 5th… Have fun!”.
Harris has no connection to the #HandsOffMyPorn campaign, funded by the Artist United for Change organization, Siouxsie Q explains.
“We hope, secretly, that she likes what we’re doing.”comments the actress.
Anti-pornography measures are nothing new in the United States, but Holly Randall, who has been in the industry for 26 years, believes she has never seen a potentially devastating threat to the industry like now.
Not even when their parents, who worked in the pornography industry during Ronald Reagan’s administration in the 1980sthey had to secretly film hardcore scenes.
“I’ve seen these attacks come and go… Project 2025 is the most explicit reiteration of the desire to make pornography completely illegal,” he says.
“Absolutely, I’m worried about incarceration.” this is proposed, adds Siouxsie Q, who became famous for her feminist performances in queer and bondage films before becoming a producer.
Porn stars also warn of consequences that may lie beyond this popular industry.
According to Siouxsie Q, what can happen with pornography it is a symptom of the impact on the right to free expression guaranteed by the First Amendment. And he also cites the Republican-led ban on sex education books in schools.
The adult entertainment industry is “a lightning rod,” according to Randall, for broader issues such as trans rights, gay marriage and even reproductive rights.
“It’s always the easiest thing to attack because it represents people’s uncertainty and fear of moral shifts in sexuality and gender fluidity,” she says.
Although Trump denies ties to the 2025 Project, a New York Times investigation proved as much this week “well over half” of the authors of the document were part of the former president’s administration, his campaign or his transition team.
Randall notes the irony of the matter: Trump convicted of fraud after paying bribes to buy the silence of former porn star Stormy Daniels, He is involved in the project, although he suspects that he “doesn’t care whether this industry is banned or not.”
“But it’s the people around him like J.D. Vance (his vice presidential candidate), the far-right conservatives, who want to ban pornography,” he said.
JD Vance wrote the foreword for Kevin D. Roberts’ next bookauthor of the section of Project 2025 that proposes a ban on pornography.
“I think Trump will easily step aside and let this happen,” Randall says.
