🚨 Roberto Martínez when asked about not subbing off Cristiano.
“It made no sense at all to take off Cristiano Ronaldo who is the best goalscorer in history off the field when we were looking for goals”.
Btw that Mbappe penalty no-call is exactly why diving or "embellishing contact" exists. Player gets past opponent, opponent makes a crazy tackle, player tries to jump over tackle but falls, no penalty. That's why 90% of the time players will play into the contact and draw a penalty
🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Lionel Messi becomes the OLDEST player in World Cup history to score a hattrick at a World Cup.
Cristiano Ronaldo held the record, which is now broken.

@aifutureproof@LegionHoops Hakeem. They didn't coincide much, but when they did, he'd smoke him like those finals. ik Shaq wasn't in his prime yet but not much would've changed.
But tbh it's not bad publicity for Shaq, at the end of the day the dream is arguably the best defender the game has seen.
You know…. If those baseball players ALWAYS put Bible verses on their hats, nobody would blink an eye. Them only doing it during Pride Night is performative as fuck. Lmao. Do it for all 162 games if you REALLY believe in your religion.
Being a Harden stan gotta be tough bc every battle they sign up for is just a brutal reminder of how that dude is the biggest playoff dropper of any all time great.
Anti Harden Guy: ok but what about that elimination game where he couldn’t even score 15
Harden Stan: which one
The World Cup is exposing an uncomfortable truth about international relations: citizens of countries in the Global South face systemic discrimination in visa and immigration procedures.
this is correct. It's not "rings culture," its "when the stakes were the highest, what did you do?" And Brunson kept bringing his team back over and over again. Rings culture only applies to the greats and Brunson became one of the greats this playoffs. I'm not even a fan!
Football is genuinely the closest thing we have to a universal language. Expanding the World Cup to 48 teams was a top tier decision man. More countries, more cultures, more stories.
