It's common to blame others when things are not going your way. Looking for a scapegoat is easy. Blaming keeps people from having to look at what they did to get into the mess. But it takes a real man to admit fault and show remorse. Only then are you able to grow! MM

Watch Spain at 1-0 last night. That’s courage. That’s bravery. And then watch England at 1-0. What’s the difference?
We are a better team than Argentina, I’ve no doubt in my mind. But we deserved to get beat in the end. In fact, it could have been 4-1.
Bringing on 3 defenders at 1-0 up. What message does that send? I wrote it in my Daily Mail column after the Mexico game. Until we understand that courage and bravery is controlling possession under pressure and not booting / heading it up the field 40 yards then this will always be the end result.

@rioferdy5 The way it ‘used’ to be!!! 🙏🏼

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

You made us all proud team Egypt 🇪🇬.

Got clearly cheated out of a goal, and overrun by FIFA corruption.

But hold your heads high like Coach Hossam held the flag of Palestine 🇵🇸.

They can’t VAR this.

The world can see now that this @FIFAcom is not fit for purpose, like the US Government, it is rotten to the core...

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Has there ever been a World Cup where a team is playing in the host country on the literal same day that the host country is bombing that team's country?

[New Direction AFRICA @Its_ereko]

🚨 Iran captain Mehdi Taremi just exposed @FIFAcom and the US:

“This is a disaster World Cup. Infantino promised to fix everything in our locker room… he did nothing. We can’t stay in Seattle — forced back to Tijuana every time. They want us out.”

Visa denials for staff. Day-before travel from Mexico. No recovery. Constant harassment because Iran refuses to bow.

This isn’t sport. It’s political sabotage by the empire using the World Cup as a weapon.

FIFA claims neutrality while Infantino plays lapdog. Iranian players still fighting with dignity.

Expose it. Stand with the players.

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

Praying especially for Venezuela and all those places struck by earthquakes in the last 24 hours. SubhanAllah just this past week we discussed the Hadith in detail about earthquakes happening in abundance as a sign of the hour.

🇲🇦 After scoring his first World Cup goal, Noussair Mazraoui advises Gessime Yassine to go home and pray to thank God

“You’re going to go home, perform your ablutions, and pray two rak’ahs. And you’ll thank Allah”

🚨🇮🇷 BREAKING — World Cup “Disaster”

Mohammad Mohebi and Mehri Taremi Say:

“Not to Make Excuses but This Is Not a Fair Competition.”

Iranian Players argued they should arrive 2 days before matches instead of traveling, training, and playing while exhausted by 5 hours in Immigration Controls and Transit.

Suudi Arabistan, bayrağında Kelime-i Tevhid bulunduğu gerekçesiyle FIFA'dan maç öncesi seremoni sırasında bayrağının yere konulmamasını talep etti.

FIFA talebi kabul etti. Suudi Arabistan ve Uruguay bayrakları gönüllüler tarafından taşındı, hiçbirisi zemine bırakılmadı.

🚨🗣️New: Thierry Henry reacts to the Brazil, Morocco, and Netherlands press conferences, where questions in Spanish were reportedly not permitted for Hakimi, Vinícius Jr., and Frenkie de Jong:

“I have covered World Cups for years, and this situation makes absolutely no sense to me. You’re telling me a World Cup co-hosted by Mexico can stop journalists from asking questions in Spanish? That’s like hosting a Formula 1 race and banning cars from using their engines.

We saw it with Hakimi. We saw it with Vinícius. Now we’re hearing similar stories involving Frenkie de Jong. The players understood the questions. The journalists spoke one of the most widely spoken languages on the planet. Yet somehow the language became the problem.

Gianni Infantino talks about inclusion, diversity, and bringing football to everyone. Fine. Then explain this contradiction. How can FIFA celebrate diversity in every promotional video and then create headlines because Spanish journalists are being told to switch languages at a tournament hosted by Mexico?

Spanish isn’t some obscure dialect spoken by a handful of people. It’s the language of hundreds of millions across the Americas and beyond. If a journalist from Mexico, Spain, Argentina, Colombia, or anywhere else asks a question in Spanish and the player understands it, why is football creating barriers where none existed?

The irony is unbelievable. FIFA keeps telling us football belongs to everyone, but this controversy has many fans asking whether some voices are more welcome than others.

Maybe there’s a logistical explanation. Maybe it’s a translation issue. But perception matters. And right now the perception is terrible.

Because what fans are seeing is simple: a World Cup hosted partly by a Spanish-speaking nation, players who understand Spanish, journalists who speak Spanish, and officials telling them not to use Spanish.

If that’s progress, somebody needs to explain it better. Because from the outside, it looks like football’s governing body is tripping over its own message.”

“FIFA wanted a celebration of diversity. Instead, they’ve handed the internet a controversy that won’t stop being discussed.”

Gary Neville calls out America for barring Omar Artan from the World Cup.
"When your hosting the world Cup, your effectively giving over your land to the world of football..we need tolerance and to be fair.."

Preach Gary! Never stop calling wrongs out

[JASSIM THANi 🇶🇦 @JBT_86]

“Everyone is complaining about the poor facilities and organization in the stadiums, training facilities, and airports, as well as the detention of players, photographers, referees, coaches, and just about everything else, and it will be the worst World Cup edition ever.”

Khabib shares his thoughts on getting older and remaining grounded 🙏🏽⏳

"I'm 37. Maybe tomorrow is my last day, you never know. But getting older, just like everybody else, I don't like it. But this is what Allah gave us. We have to deal with this, and we have to understand. This is a very good reminder to be just a regular human, to come down to earth, and this is a good feeling."

Luis Enrique has a daily routine unlike any other manager I know.
Being a football manager is one of the most stressful jobs in the World.

It takes extraordinary fortitude to live the life of a manager for a sustained period.

His day begins at 6am in the gym for an hour. Followed by coffee and no breakfast.

Fasting all day is the norm.
His evening meal is usually 6 eggs with vegetables.

Another non negotiable is grounding:

He walks barefoot on grass daily and benefits this practice with removing his allergies and giving better focus.

He's employed this practice with his players over the last two seasons.

Routines are the foundation of everything we do as humans.
Small daily habits stack up over time.

Like compound interest. It's no wonder Enrique has enjoyed such success.

Cristiano Ronaldo explains how he stays disciplined

“I fight against my mind. It’s the big challenge. When you’re not willing to do something but you have to do it”

“Our mind is a box of surprises and you have to challenge yourself to be consistent”

“Nobody likes to go to the gym every day, of course not. It’s not true but your mental strength comes from that moment, in a hard moment, when you know you should do it”

“In the beginning it feels hard to start but when you finish the gym or cold plunge or training, you feel better”
