Hello. Firstpost is looking for experienced football writer who will be in USA for World Cup. Someone who has covered previous WCs and can write at intersection of football, culture and politics. If you fit the bill, please get it in touch...if not, RT for good karma. Thanks.
โAfter many years, we qualified for AFC Asian Cup. If we can make it among the top 12 in Asia, we can qualify for World Cup in next 5-10 years. We are doing better (than men). I think we can make it to the World Cup before menโs.โ

Casemiro was a surprise when it broke that he was joining Manchester United. A huge fee, giant wages, 30 years old, we'd seen this story before. The โtell them I'll fix thisโ quote instantly endeared him to the fanbase, but it was a later moment that sealed it.
His 94th minute equaliser at Stamford Bridge & the celebration that followed was not a man here for a pay day. He wasn't the latest mercenary collecting a cheque, this was one of the best midfielders of his generation writing his latest chapter.
It wasn't all perfect. Bad tactical decisions, whether Erik ten Hag's donut hole midfield or Ruben Amorim's ineptitude left him exposed as he aged. It didn't stop a brilliant first season, but his inability to run out games was an ongoing issue that wasn't masked to help him.
Nevertheless, every single time he faced adversity, or criticism, he would respond like a top professional. He is a proud man & fought back every single time he was challenged. He showed a level of experience & leadership that will be impossible to replace.
Whatever you thought when he was signed, the club is better for him being there. A top pro who worked hard & always came up big when it mattered. He will be missed & I'm grateful to have had him at Old Trafford. He will always be a beloved player, an icon, a cult hero.
Obrigado e tchau, @Casemiro.
@IndFtblLeague@sreenidideccan@Namdhari_sports We expect better accountability. In a match highlights out of the 2 goals, 1 goal gets completely ignored. There can be mistakes here and there, but the editing team should be much more alert.
This guy was always Special. You wonโt find many in Indian Football with such Technique . All prayers to god almighty to get him the gametime and he will do the rest ๐ค
