“Davido has committed the act of terr0rism; he was wrong for putting the names of the 45 abducted school kids on his jacket at the World Cup. He has exposed Nigeria’s secrets to the international community." — Singer Dauda Kahutu
Ilia Topuria took more damage in one fight against Justin Gaethje than he’s taken in his entire career combined.
Gaethje took Topuria’s best shots and put an absolute beating on him.
Roy Keane: “He reached out to me, he wanted a chat. And do you know what?
I did. I called him and we had a lovely chat.
Lovely chat about a bit of everything, really. But it was nice because again, when we do podcasts or games, sometimes you think you say something afterwards, you're trying to communicate something that doesn't come across properly. And people get upset and he wanted to speak to me.
And we had a nice mature conversation.
He apologized and we moved on [laughs]. I forgive him.
I think it was important I spoke to him because there's been lots going on and lots reported and he's obviously a big player for United. I'm an ex-United player and I think the idea of this communicate and have a kind of a proper conversation, I really enjoyed it and hopefully I think he did, a nice chat about a bit of everything. Yeah, I felt better afterwards.”

🚨🎙️ Thierry Henry on FIFA turning the World Cup Final into a Super Bowl circus:
“Football is losing its soul little by little. A World Cup Final is supposed to be the purest form of football, pressure, intensity, emotion, tactics, suffering, history. Not a halftime concert made for social media clips and celebrities in vip seats.
When you play at the highest level, your body is programmed around rhythm. Fifteen minutes. That’s what every footballer in the world has known since childhood. Your muscles stay warm, your concentration stays locked in, your emotions stay alive. Now imagine players sitting there for 25 minutes during the biggest game of their lives because FIFA wants a bigger TV spectacle.
People think footballers are robots. They are not. Momentum is real. If one team is dominating before halftime, that long break can completely kill the intensity of the game. It changes everything tactically and mentally. You cool down physically, you lose adrenaline, and then people expect players to immediately return playing at 100 miles per hour.
And let’s be honest here, this is not about football, it’s about money and entertainment. They want football to become the Super Bowl. More commercials, more performances, more headlines, more celebrities. But football became the biggest sport in the world without all of that. The game itself was enough.
The dangerous part is that if the final quality drops or players get injured because of these changes, fans will attack the players first. They will say certain stars disappeared in the second half or failed under pressure, without understanding the conditions were completely changed for a television show.
For me, the World Cup Final should feel sacred. Ninety minutes of war between the best players on earth. Not a pause long enough for the world to forget the match is even happening.”
