💦 Marcelo Bielsa speaking 𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗦 about the hydration breaks:
🗣️ Bielsa: "Playing matches in four quarters instead of two halves completely changes that cultural understanding we have of football."
This change of culture does not add anything and takes away a lot. I will just say that before this decision, football had a characteristic, now it has another.
People fall in love with the game because of its characteristics. Of course technology like VAR, we commend it and value it.
Technology offers more opportunities. There is another intention for the breaks and the conclusions I'm making here are not really my own. I also echo what I hear as well."
Lionel Messi: 18 years and 357 days old
Lamine Yamal: 18 years and 343 days old
Lamine Yamal scored his first World Cup goal at just 14 days younger than Messi was when he scored his first 😮
You've got to give Pochettino his dues, honestly. This USA side are playing some absolutely beautiful football at this World Cup. Disciplined, brave, and blistering on the counter. Their shape without the ball, their movement between the lines, the way they spring forward with intent… it's proper watchable stuff. You find yourself wanting to watch them again and again. They could go far, really far. Huge respect to the USMNT. Making a real statement.
Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this — not in a million years.
Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸
