Eric here again with every bit of our silent thoughts.
The month of June is for Men’s mental health, and we are saying thank you to all the men out there making sacrifices to attain fulfillment for their families.
Dear Lionel Messi, I apologise for ever debating whether you were the greatest of all time. To my mind, your competition was never Cristiano Ronaldo. I was thinking more about Diego Maradona and Pele. I now realise that you are better than both of them. You are better than anyone who has ever kicked a football. I am lucky to have been alive to watch you play. You are the greatest of all time! I bow and tremble. 🙌🏽🙇♂️

@tobyasky My opinion is Ronaldo is finished and shouldn't have started the game. If ramos was the starting striker,the game won't be like this and they could have won
There will never be another Messi.
The GOAT conversation was never a conversation.
Walked into the first game, shattered Wasiu's record & turned Mbappé's new record to 'view once'.
A World Cup Hattrick with penalties.
Undisputed Greatest Of All Times.
You may be wondering why it's possible for teams to replace players in their squad even after the World cup has started.
The truth is that ational teams cannot simply recall or swap players whenever they feel like it once the World Cup is underway.
Here is how it works.
According to the Regulations, every nation is required to submit a provisional squad of up to 55 players.
From that pool, they are then to name a final 26, including at least three goalkeepers, on or before FIFA's official deadline.
Once that final squad is locked in, the freedom to make changes almost disappears.
For outfield players, a replacement is only permitted in the case of serious injury or illness, and only up to 24 hours before the team's FIRST match. The replacement must come from that original provisional list, and it requires FIFA Medical Committee approval with proper documentation.
After that 24-hour cutoff, the outfield squad will have to remain unchanged for the entire tournament, group stage through to the final. Any player that gets injured at that point will stay registered but cannot be replaced by another player that's not on the squad list.
Goalkeepers are the exception. Because three keepers are so essential, a goalkeeper can be replaced at any stage of the competition if he is unfit.
We have just seen the outfield rule in action. England lost Tino Livramento to injury before their opener against Croatia and brought in Trevoh Chalobah, who was on standby. It was allowed precisely because it fell inside the 24-hour window.
It's fair, but it's also unforgiving.
I hope you have learned something today.

From the videos we saw, this lady and her late husband were being held with some other kidnapped victims.
Since you engaged the terrorists and they ran away, where are the other victims?
