Pedro Porro's grandad drove him thousands of miles as a child to training and matches, helping him chase his dream of becoming a footballer.
Yesterday, Porro returned home and gave his grandad the World Cup winners' medal. Mission accomplished ❤️🏆
Ashley Cole on England’s World Cup semi-final elimination.
🗣️ “England have bottled it. There’s no sugar-coating this. You don’t spend years building one of the most talented squads in world football only to crumble the moment you’re asked to show courage. They gifted Argentina belief and paid the ultimate price.”
“They went into their shell after taking the lead. Instead of finishing the game, they started protecting it like a small nation hanging on against a giant. That mentality is embarrassing for a team with England’s quality. Champions kill games—they don’t hide from them.”
“The manager completely lost his nerve. His substitutions, his tactics, his message to the players—it all screamed fear. Sitting deeper and inviting Lionel Messi and Argentina onto you is football suicide. Everyone watching knew what was coming except the people on the England bench.”
“And the players deserve criticism too. Too many disappeared. Too many hid instead of demanding the ball. When Argentina raised the intensity, England folded like a pack of cards. You cannot call yourself world-class if you vanish when your country needs you most.”
“This wasn’t bad luck. This wasn’t the referee. This wasn’t fatigue. This was a complete collapse of mentality. England threw away a place in the World Cup final because they lacked the courage to keep playing football.”
“If you’re satisfied with reaching the semi-finals, then keep making the same mistakes. But if you genuinely want to become world champions, performances like this should haunt every single person in that dressing room. They didn’t lose to a better team—they lost to their own fear.”
Dimitar Berbatov on Kobbie Mainoo being left on the bench again for England’s FIFA World Cup semi-final against Argentina.
🗣️ “I honestly cannot understand this anymore. It’s becoming embarrassing. If you’re not prepared to trust Kobbie Mainoo with even one single minute at a World Cup, then why did you bring him in the first place? What exactly was the point? He’s spent the entire tournament watching football instead of playing it, and that’s a complete waste of one of England’s brightest young talents.”
“Managers always talk about believing in young players, but words mean absolutely nothing when your actions say the opposite. Mainoo has trained every day, stayed professional, waited patiently and still hasn’t been rewarded with a single minute. That’s incredibly harsh and, in my opinion, completely disrespectful to a player who has done nothing wrong.”
“You don’t build confidence by making a player sit on the bench for an entire World Cup. You build confidence by trusting him when the team needs energy, composure and fresh ideas. Instead, England have treated one of their most gifted midfielders like he doesn’t even exist.”
“If the coaching staff never believed he was capable of helping this team, then they should have left him at home and given his place to someone else. At least that player would have understood the situation. Taking Mainoo to the World Cup just to let him collect splinters on the bench is impossible to defend.”
“And if England don’t reach the final, don’t be surprised when people start questioning every decision. Because leaving a midfielder with Kobbie Mainoo’s talent without a single appearance throughout the entire tournament is the kind of decision that follows a manager for years. It’s difficult to explain, impossible to justify and incredibly unfair on the player.”
