I know I'm a day late, but I felt like starting a random thread of stuff that touched me in 2024. Not sure I'll be able to sustain it all year, but I'll try for sure (1/n)

We were delighted to present Gilbert Martina, the President of the Curaçao Football Federation, the certificate for the smallest country by population to qualify for the FIFA World Cup - 156,115 people 🇨🇼

🚨 Reporter asks Mohamed Salah about Japan players displaying Wataru Endō’s jersey after the 2-2 draw against the Netherlands at the 2026 FIFA World Cup:

🎙️ Reporter: “Mo, what did you make of the moment when the Japan players held up Wataru Endō’s jersey after the match?”

🗣️ Mohamed Salah: “Honestly, that was the most powerful moment of the game for me. Everyone will talk about the goals and the result, but that image meant much more than football.”

🎙️ Reporter: “Why?”

🗣️ Mohamed Salah:“Missing a World Cup because of injury is heartbreaking. You work your whole career for moments like this. Seeing his teammates honour him showed how much respect and love they have for him.”

🎙️ Reporter: “What does it say about this Japan team?”

🗣️ Mohamed Salah: “It says they’re united. They weren’t just playing for themselves tonight, they were playing for Endō too. Teams with that kind of togetherness are always dangerous.

If Japan keep showing that spirit, they can surprise a lot of people in this tournament

Thierry Henry on Vozinha reportedly going from 200K to 1.8M Instagram followers after his heroics against Spain national football team:

🗣️ “People think football is only about goalscorers and superstars. Then a night like this happens and a 40-year-old goalkeeper becomes the biggest story at the World Cup.

Vozinha didn't just stop shots against Spain he stopped an entire nation from celebrating. Every save felt bigger than the last.

The funny thing is that before this match, many fans probably didn't even know who he was. Ninety minutes later, the whole football world was searching for his name.

Going from 200,000 followers to 1.8 million tells you everything. That's what happens when you produce a performance that nobody can ignore.

Spain came with world-class attackers, but the man everyone is talking about today is the goalkeeper standing at the other end.

And that's the beauty of football. One night, one performance, one unforgettable display and suddenly the world knows your name.

Because let's be honest, without Vozinha, we're probably talking about a comfortable Spain victory.

Instead, we're talking about a goalkeeper who turned himself into a World Cup sensation in a single game.”

Regardless of what happens in this match, Vozinha is a hero. Amazing saves #SpainvsCaboVerde

Thierry Henry on Cape Verde’s 40-year-old goalkeeper Vozinha after his 7 saves vs Spain national football team:

🗣️ “I have to give him real credit. At 40 years old, to produce that kind of performance at a World Cup against Spain is unbelievable.

Let’s be honest, Spain could have been two or three goals up inside the first half alone. But every time they thought they had scored, Vozinha said ‘not today’.

What impressed me wasn’t just the saves, it was the timing. Big moments, one-on-one situations, reflex stops he was always there.

At that age, most goalkeepers are thinking about slowing down, managing their career, maybe stepping aside. He looked like he was just getting started.

You could see the Spanish attackers getting frustrated. That’s when you know a goalkeeper is having a special night he’s not just saving shots, he’s breaking rhythm and confidence.

Seven saves doesn’t even tell the full story. It felt like every attack had to go through him first.

And nights like this are why people love football. Because sometimes one man decides he is not going to let history be written easily.”

🚨🗣️New: Luis Suárez reacts to Uruguay’s arrival in the United States for the World Cup, where the squad faced sniffer dogs and rigorous security checks:

“I’ve been in football a long time, and I’ve seen tournaments all over the world. But what we’re witnessing here with the USA hosting this World Cup is deeply concerning. Take the Uruguay team arriving — world-class players like Manuel Ugarte, standing there with arms folded, looking utterly bewildered as sniffer dogs go through their bags like they’re common criminals. That image says it all. These are ambassadors of the game, not suspects at the border.

This isn’t hospitality; it’s humiliation dressed up as security. You’ve got a Somali referee, one of Africa’s best, denied entry despite a valid visa — a man who dreamed of officiating at the pinnacle of his career, turned away at the airport. African and South American delegations facing extra screenings, visa chaos for fans and officials from qualified nations. This is the ‘land of the free’ rolling out the red carpet? It feels more like a fortress with razor wire.

The beautiful game deserves better than being turned into a political football or a paranoid checkpoint. FIFA chased the dollars — and there are billions to be made, no doubt — but they’ve sold the soul of the tournament to a host that treats global football stars and supporters like potential threats. Meanwhile, American taxpayers and host cities are left holding a bill running into hundreds of millions for security and logistics that FIFA largely pockets.

Football has always been about unity, passion, and bringing people together across borders. Right now, under this hosting, it’s being strangled by suspicion and overreach. The world is watching these scenes and cringing. If this continues, it risks leaving a bitter taste that lingers far longer than any on-pitch glory. We needed a celebration of the game — not a showcase of division. Something has to change.”

From @TheAthleticFC: Cape Verde’s Vozinha says U.S. visa issues stopped his mother from witnessing his World Cup heroics in person. The 40-year-old goalkeeper was visibly emotional on the pitch after the game. https://t.co/754zUIylGZ

This is so typical of Kane Williamson. Just a quiet exit away from the spotlight. One of the finest players of his era, arguably the best batter to emerge from NZ and an outstanding person. Humble, dignified and universally respected.
