He's going to overturn the script. No biggy for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Hopefully, he does. 😅

All of the Golden Boot favourites started the World Cup strongly — except Cristiano Ronaldo 😩

He failed to register a shot within 90 mins ❌

[Wisdom Chinweuba @DprincipalThing]

England is nothing without Harry Kane.

African teams are trying to impress. Let's see how far we'll perform.

[ESPN FC @ESPNFC]

AFRICA STAND UP 🌍‼️

TWO HUGE RESULTS AGAINST TWO OF THE WORLD CUP FAVORITES. NEVER COUNT THEM OUT 👏

[OptaJoe @OptaJoe]

5 - Harry Kane has now scored the most penalties (excl. shootouts) in FIFA World Cup history (5).

Retake.

[Buchi Laba @Buchi_Laba]

Instead of the Portuguese players to stand behind Cristiano Ronaldo and work for him.. instead they compete against him. They clearly have no respect for him.. it’s clear in the countenance of senior players like The Assistor and the dwarf. They want to be the bosses so much. Ronaldo is so unlucky to be in the mix of players that think they’re so big in the head. Maybe it’s the culture set in the team because It’s very clear in the way they play and Behave.

Compare to Messi and the Argentine squad. They fight for Messi. They see him as Lord because he has earned it and it’s clear with the way they talk, walk, train and play.

At the end of the day, No player can do it alone.
It takes a Village. It’s just extremely sad to watch to see Cristiano Ronaldo not getting the proper support he has earned from some of the Portuguese players.

The Portuguese Team - The GOAT mixed with chickens.

Pardon?????
Any small thing, "Gen Z cannot relate".
Yen yen yen 😑😑
Do you people realize that Gen Z started from 1997?

Do you realize that the oldest Gen Z is almost 30 years old? And the youngest Gen Z is 14 years old .

If you want to call baby Shark do do, call Gen Alpha, because Gen Zs are NOT as young as you think they are.

I'm a Gen Z, I was very much aware of when the Five naira, Ten naira, Twenty naira and Fifty Naira notes were papers.

I knew when they changed it to the nylon that we now spend today.

I can vividly remember the time when they did Golden Jubilee for the #50 note.

I remember when a portion of pepper was #20, and when a cup of rice was #25 for long grain rice.

I remember when 5 eggs was #100. When Indomie was #30, when a cup of Garri was #10.

Yes, I'm a Gen Z and I remember.
Stop dragging us as if we just came into this world abeg.

[Alabi @the_Lawrenz]

The truth is Ronaldo doesn’t need to score today or even in the whole tournament .

All that is needed is for Portugal to get maximum points win just 7 games.

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

As brilliant and utterly irrepressible as Lionel Messi is, there have been a few occasions during his illustrious career when opponents — and certainly opposition fans — have suggested that he has received “special treatment” from referees.

What is certain is that, between scoring his first and second goals against Algeria, he got lucky. A challenge on Algeria captain Aissa Mandi, who was caught by Messi on his right calf and Achilles tendon, could have earned at least a yellow card — and plausibly a red card — but Polish referee Szymon Marciniak was content to award a free kick.

It was a strange incident. Mandi was in control of the ball, going nowhere fast, and there was little prospect of dispossessing him from Messi’s position. To make a lunge like that, with his studs up, seemed incomprehensible, never mind dangerous.

Special treatment? At the very least it was lenient refereeing. A yellow card would perhaps have been the most widely expected outcome — a red card second — but Messi was certainly lucky to get away scot-free.

@footballontnt I can say that even after Ronaldo and Messi retires from football, they'll still be competing for God knows what.

These guys are unreal humans.

Guess who's record Messi broke to become the oldest hat-trick scorer in World Cup history 👀

[FIFA World Cup @FIFAWorldCup]

Messi again, again, and again...

#FIFAWorldCup

[FIFA World Cup @FIFAWorldCup]

Lionel Messi is now the joint top #FIFAWorldCup goalscorer 🔝📊

[Wisdom Chinweuba @DprincipalThing]

There's a reason I said we have unrealistic expectations for the African nations in this year's world cup.

Ronaldo and Portugal would do the same thing Messi and Mbappe has done.

I'm thinking exactly what you're thinking.

[Chuma Nnoli @ChumaNnoli]

Mbappe scored a brace against Senegal

Then Messi stepped up and scored a hat trick against Algeria

And now Ronaldo is playing next as Portugal face DRC

All against African teams.

Are you thinking what am thinking?

[Ororo😎 @McFlybowy]

This is the reality of Messi and Ronaldo’s careers for the past 15 years, by the way, one scores a hat-trick and immediately the pressure shifts onto the other to respond. And guess what? The other always does. Two monsters

And that’s the part we don’t appreciate enough. It wasn’t just greatness in isolation, it was a constant cycle of response, like two peak athletes refusing to let the standard drop for even a week. If Messi raised the bar with a masterclass, Ronaldo would answer with goals the very next match. If Ronaldo went on a scoring run, Messi would do the same.

They didn’t just compete with opponents, they competed with each other across leagues, countries, and seasons. and even when they weren’t playing the same fixtures, the narrative always connected them. Now everyone is patiently waiting for Ronaldo.

That’s why their era feels so heavy now. Because you weren’t just watching two legends, you were watching two players who constantly forced perfection out of each other.

Let’s enjoy the ride for the last time.

[Wisdom Chinweuba @DprincipalThing]

Haaland - brace
Mbappe - brace
Balogun - brace
Harvertz - brace

Messi - Una wan try me because I don dey old abi, oya Algeria collect 3.

Over to you - Ronaldo and Harry Kane.

Don't disappoint, let's keep the goals pouring in.

[LiveScore @livescore]

Messi and Mbappé are going head-to-head at this World Cup to become the all-time leading goalscorer 🤯⚔️

Who will be on top when the tournament ends? 👀🏆

[Cristiano Ronaldo @Cristiano]

Cada vez que vestimos esta camisola, sentimos o mesmo orgulho, a mesma paixão e o mesmo sentido de responsabilidade do primeiro dia.

Amanhã começa um novo capítulo.

Trabalhámos muito para chegar a este momento e agora é altura de dar tudo pelo nosso País, e por todas as comunidades Portuguesas que nos apoiam aqui e em todo o mundo. Acreditem como nós! #VAIDARPORTUGAL

[Wisdom Chinweuba @DprincipalThing]

I think we have unrealistic expectations for the African nations in this year's #FIFAWorldCup.

6 of them have played so far and only one victory.

I don't think we'll have an underdog story this year.

In case you didn't watch 🇫🇷France 3-1 🇸🇳 Senegal:

>Mbappe did NOTHING all 1st half then scored twice in the 2nd — one was a screamer from 30 yards.

>Olise is NOTHING all 1st half then came alive & was magical in the 2nd half — Best player on the pitch

>Dembélé did NOTHING all 1st half then did NOTHING all 2nd half then got subbed out and his replacement immediately scored.

>Upamecano is SO good for France at CB. Was far and away their best player in the 1st half.

>The ref wasn't calling any soft fouls, let the play go on all match. Honestly very refreshing.

>Senegal hit the post in the 1st half & should have scored again right before half time

>France went up 1-0 in the 2nd half when Olise played a perfect through ball to Mbappé

>France went up 2-0 in the 82' vs Bradley Barcola who celebrated by airing out MetLife Stadium

>Ibrahim Mbaye got one back for Senegal in the 90+5' but Mbappe put a screamer top bins a minute later for France.

>Kylian Mbappé surpassed Pelé and Leo Messi in career World Cup goals & became France's all time leading scorer today

>France's innability to player through their midfield is the glaring weakness of this team.
-Seeing Tchuameni drop inbetween the 2 CBs with the ball then look up and see a massive whole in the middle of the park with no French players (where Tchuameni should be) is so frustrating

>Let me know what I missed

I'll be posting match recaps like this as well as daily World Cup recaps all month... follow me pookie :)

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨 Tottenham agree deal to sign Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton, here we go! 💣

New defender wanted by De Zerbi joining on £52m deal, agreement club to club done after player accepted #THFC conditions last week.

All done and Vuskovic separate case, as @David_Ornstein reports.

[Wisdom Chinweuba @DprincipalThing]

Haaland saying if Kylian Mbappe can score a brace, then I should do too.

Absolutely beast.
