The day US soccer players stop needing to have an average household income of 300k a year to have youth development is the day we start competing for a cup
Gustavo Alfaro, técnico do Paraguai, após a derrota para França.
"Eu disse aos jogadores: 'Vamos enfrentar jogadores que brigam pela Bola de Ouro, pela artilharia histórica do Mundial'. Nós temos garotos que não conheceram seus pais. Que passaram por dramas severos. Mas apesar de tudo, nós podemos. Antes, Galarza não podia jogar no River, mas pode jogar contra Alemanha e França. Ele pode jogar em qualquer equipe do mundo. O Gill teve que vender suas roupas para salvar a vida da filha. Que equipe do mundo não quer ter um goleiro como ele?
Eu queria tentar uma revolução no Paraguai. Podíamos fazê-la através do Mundial. Queria chegar mais longe, era algo que senti internamente, por isso morro com essa dor."

🚨❤️🩹 Lisandro Martínez: “I was considering RETIREMENT from football after I suffered ACL injury last year”.
“I just didn't want to suffer anymore, you know?“.
"I was really hit low, but then my daughter was born, and that kind of balanced everything out for me”.
“I saw how my wife gave birth and the immense effort she made, and I said to myself: How am I not going to keep fighting?”.
What happens when you die:
They divide up your shit.
They summarize your life in 500-1000 words.
People who knew you less say sorry to people who knew you more.
Everyone eats, drives home, and wakes up the next day and goes to work.
Whatever you’re worried about won’t be in those 500 words.
You can dare greatly or not at all, but you’re gonna die either way.
Might as well squeeze every motherfucking drop out.
Dear @DHSgov: Did you know our starting forward is a US citizen through birthright citizenship? You’re trying to strip away that right.
Did you know an additional 6 Team USA players were born outside US soil?
Did you know half the team are dual citizens?
Also, Happy Juneteenth
