Emilia Clarke reveals she dreamed her dying father came to say goodbye at the exact moment he passed, while she was stuck on a flight with no way to reach home
"This was 2016. The Wi-Fi didn't exist in planes. So I'm just going to be sitting on this flight for like 10 hours and I can't contact anyone"
"So I was like, 'I'm going to imagine that I'm in the hospital. What could get into a hospital? A butterfly.' And I imagine that I'm fluttering around my dad being like, 'I'm coming home. Hold on. You're going to be fine'"
"And then I somehow fall asleep. And in a dream I'm in my airline seat and my dad's hospital bed is next to me and he just turns and said, 'I just came to say goodbye'"
"And I land and my mom sends me a text saying, 'Don't rush.' So I knew that he had passed and he passed at the time that I was having the dream"
"And we open the house and this butterfly is flying around the room"
Zlatan reveals the hilarious initiation that left David Beckham red-faced.
Jimmy Kimmel: “Do rookie players in the league get hazed? That’s a thing we do in the United States.”
Zlatan Ibrahimović: “They do. But it’s not only the rookies. If you’re new to a team, you have to introduce yourself to the team during your first few days or weeks.”
“Here's a story about David Beckham. We played together at PSG, and he had to do this hazing ritual. I think that’s what you call it here in the U.S.; on our team, you had to sing to introduce yourself. He kept telling me, “Zlatan, I’m not doing that. “ Forget about it,” I said. “No, you have to.”
“Three days passed, then I told him, ‘David, you have to sing now. Finally, he said, ‘Okay’, He stood up and whispered to me, “Help me.” I said, “Okay.” Then he started singing the English national anthem.”
“I looked at him, my friend. I can’t even sing the English national anthem. Everybody was staring at him, and his face turned bright red. He was so uncomfortable, but that’s our way of welcoming new players to the team.”
Jimmy Kimmel: “Is that his go-to karaoke song?”
Zlatan ibrahimović: “I can tell you one thing: he’s not a good singer.”
You hire Poch, give him a year and a half to unfuck Berhalter Sr washed culture of a squad, ask him to waste everyone's time calling up My Little Soccer frauds for marketing time in Gold Cup and 2025 friendlies (Walker Zimmerman playing 90 min vs Switzerland in Nashville then promptly discarded and never relevant ever again), then ask him to do the impossible and go into quarterfinals/semifinals with a group of players that have been fucked by weak mentalities for YEARS; and now all of a sudden Poch is the fraud, the 4-1 loss to Belgium was all on him.
Never mind the fact that we got the most wins in our WC campaign, most points in group stage, most goals scored ever at a WC.
I propose that the quickest solution to fix US Soccer is to take all the newly built Pickleball Courts and repurpose them into streetsoccer futsal courts. It will make us a true soccer nation and we will win the World Cup once this happens.
Cristiano Ronaldo begged for hamburgers outside McDonalds. He’d never turn pro in America
Messi’s parents were factory workers. He’d never turn pro in America
Lalas went to boarding school. Failed to get into college until his dad made a call to Rutgers. He went pro in America
There’s no way to describe this feeling.
We wanted so much more.
We let ourselves down but we won’t let this define us.
We dreamed of giving our country something special, and we came up short. To every fan who believed in us from day one, thank you. Your support never went unnoticed. We’ll carry this pain with us, learn from it and come back stronger than ever. This badge deserves nothing less. 🇺🇸
Thierry and Zlatan saying they wouldn't have become soccer players because of the costs of the American youth system, then seeing Lalas say it's a great system because it makes a lot of money for some people really sums it all up nicely
My debut World Cup… it hurts to wait 4 years to compete at the highest level our sport has to offer. I want to say sorry to our fans it was not good enough when it mattered most and we let you down
Soccer in America will only become bigger the belief, the talent, and the passion is continually growing and I know the best days are in front of us, the future belongs to those who never stop believing, this moment will fuel us. We will be back
Why not us?
For the nation. For the flag.
