This gonna be a FUN #WorldCup 🤣🤣

"Fewer than half of U.S. states are sufficiently prepared for a health emergency, according to research released Thursday...The report comes as the U.S. is set to host 78 World Cup matches in 10 different states from June 11 to July 19. Five of those 10 states performed 'high' in TFAH’s assessment, four in the 'middle' range and one state — Texas — scored 'low' on health emergency preparedness in the report."

Agi: Pierluigi Collina torna ad arbitrare (ma è solo per uno spot)

AGI - Pierluigi Collina è tornato ad arbitrare in vista dei Mondiali di calcio in programma a giugno. E ha utilizzato il Var, confermando la sua decisione presa sul “campo”. In realtà l’ex arbitro internazionale, uno dei più famosi al mondo, a 66 anni ha prestato il suo volto come testimonial di una compagnia telefonica americana.
Lo spot per Verizon
Nello spot di trenta secondi di Verizon, prodotto dall’agenzia Ogilvy e trasmesso sui canali americani in lingua spagnola, Collina si materializza nella casa di una famiglia con la divisa ufficiale di arbitro, con tanto di logo Fifa, e dichiara che l’offerta è la migliore.
La decisione al Var
Dopo aver rivisto tutto al Var, Collina dichiara, puntando il dito: “Confermo la mia decisione”.
Il riferimento ai Mondiali
Quando il più giovane della famiglia gli chiede se ha qualche biglietto per i Mondiali da regalare, Collina risponde: “Io no, ma Verizon ne ha un sacco”. Il torneo iridato, che sarà ospitato in Usa, Messico e Canada, avrà inizio l’11 giugno.

Pierluigi Collina is returning to referee (but it’s only for one game).

AGI - Pierluigi Collina has returned to officiating ahead of the upcoming June football World Cup. And he used VAR, confirming his decision made on the “field.” In reality, the former international referee, one of the most famous in the world at 66 years old, has lent his face as a testimonial for an American telecommunications company.

The Verizon Spot
In the 30-second Verizon spot, produced by the Ogilvy agency and broadcast on American Spanish-language channels, Collina materializes in the home of a family in the official referee uniform, complete with Fifa logo, and declares that the offer is the best.

The VAR Decision
After reviewing everything on VAR, Collina declares, pointing the finger: “I confirm my decision.”

The Reference to the World Cup
When the youngest member of the family asks him if he has any tickets to the World Cup to give him, Collina replies: “I don’t, but Verizon has plenty.” The World Championship, which will be hosted in the USA, Mexico and Canada, will begin on June 11th.
