🗣️ Kevin De Bruyne: "Eski kız arkadaşım Caroline, Madrid'e gittiğinde beni Thibaut Courtois ile aldattı. Bunu öğrendiğimde dünyam başıma yıkıldı. O benim milli takımdan arkadaşımdı, her gün yüz yüze bakıyorduk.

Teknik direktörümüz bana gelip, 'Eğer istersen Thibaut'yu takımdan gönderebilirim' dedi. Ama ben bencil biri değilim. Ona, 'O iyi bir kaleci, takım için kalmalı' dedim.

Saha içinde profesyonel kalmayı başardım ama o günden sonra onunla bir daha asla arkadaş olmadım. Futbol size her şeyi verir ama en güvendiğiniz insanların gerçek yüzünü de böyle acı bir şekilde gösterir."

Iranian Football Federation announces the 8% ticket quota allocated to Iran has been revoked by the U.S., leaving the federation currently unable to distribute tickets to supporters.

A case study in political interference, discrimination and FIFA looking the other way.

La primera filmación de un Papa (León XIII, 1898) fue encargada por el Vaticano para desmentir rumores sobre su salud y proyectar autoridad ante EE.UU. en un momento de tensiones geopolíticas.

León XIII tenía 88 años y llevaba diez años sin dejarse fotografiar, así que ver al Papa moverse en imágenes fue un impacto mundial enorme.

La grabó la empresa americana Biograph, no los Lumière como se creía. La compañía extrajo miles de fotografías de los 17.000 negativos grabados en apenas tres sesiones.

El público que veía la bendición filmada inclinaba la cabeza y se santiguaba en la sala de proyección, convencido de que tenía efectos espirituales reales. La gente pagaba una entrada para recibir una bendición papal "virtual".

First impressions on Kazakhstan:

more advanced than Europe, can pay with your hand (literally), crystal clear water from the mountains, no immigration or homosexuality propaganda, amazing local food and cheap, safe at night, best taxi service in the world, very kind and welcoming people.

overall a very beautiful and underrated part of the world.

Europe’s largest cities in the 1800s...

A historical table titled "Population of 100 of the Principal European Cities," originally published in 1854 (based on demographic data compiled around 1851–1853 from sources like Weber's German Almanac).

London exploding in size.
Paris doing Paris things.
Constantinople quietly dominating half the continent.
And Athens sitting there with 28,000 people like an ambitious village.

🗣️ Mario Balotelli: "Ben çocukken çok hastaydım, durumumuz kötüydü ve biyolojik ailem beni İtalyan bir aileye evlatlık verdi. Yıllarca beni arayıp sormadılar, tamamen yalnızdım.

Ne zaman ki ben futbolcu oldum, Inter'de oynamaya başladım ve milyonlar kazanıp ünlü oldum; işte o gün televizyonlara çıkıp 'Mario bizim oğlumuz, onu çok özledik' diye ağlamaya başladılar.

Bu hayattaki en büyük ikiyüzlülük. Ben sokaklarda ırkçılığa uğrarken, hastanede acı çekerken neredeydiniz? Eğer ünlü bir futbolcu olmasaydım, Brescia’da bir işçi olsaydım yine benim babam ve annem olmak isteyecek miydiniz?

Hayır. Benim tek bir ailem var, o da beni büyüten, bana bakan Balotelli ailesidir. Diğerleri sadece benim şöhretimin peşinde."

Venice's Defensive System: The Octagons...

In the Venice Lagoon there are five octagons. These are fortified artificial islands built starting in 1571 CE, when Venice needed to protect itself from attacks by the Ottoman fleet.

The octagons were positioned at strategic points to block access to the main channels leading from the Adriatic Sea into the lagoon. Their octagonal shape was an architectural choice designed to optimize cannon fire, allowing a full 360-degree range and enabling a small garrison to defend the entire structure effectively.

Among the five lagoon octagons, the one at Alberoni is considered the best preserved (photo). Sturdy stone walls surround the entire perimeter, designed to withstand both the sea waves and enemy fire.

Today the island is uninhabited and abandoned. Over the years it has become private property and is inaccessible.

You’d need to sell a kidney to afford attending the 2026 World Cup matches

Just compare the prices of the 2022 World Cup and the 2026 World Cup.

You’ll be paying enormous amounts of money just to attend a match in hot weather, with the possibility of games being delayed due to weather warnings. And on top of that, you might buy a ticket and still not be allowed to enter the United States

El facturero Samuel García pone en ridículo no sólo a Monterrey sino a todo México.

Prefieren cambiarse a Nashville, EEUU, donde sí tendrán un partido de exhibición y llevarán a cabo su preparación rumbo al Mundial 2026
