🚨🗣️ Thierry Henry's Apology to Cristiano Ronaldo
"I have to hold my hands up and completely apologize tonight. After the DR Congo game, I said he was playing for himself, getting in the way, and that the team needs to score, not just him. But what he did tonight against Uzbekistan... that is exactly why he is Cristiano Ronaldo. To be 41 years old, stepping onto the pitch under that immense pressure, and delivering a Man of the Match performance with two incredible goals in a 5-0 win? It defies logic. I questioned if he was holding Portugal back, and he answered it the only way he knows how: by silencing the studio, silencing the critics, and reminding us all that counting him out is the biggest mistake you can make in football history. I was wrong. The team needed a ruthless leader tonight, and he was absolute perfection."
🚨 Atlético Madrid CEO Miguel Angel Gil: “Our responsibility is to defend the interests of Atlético and that is why we are going to file a complaint with FIFA against Barcelona for negotiating with a player under an active contract during the protected period”.
Erling Haaland was asked about Norway’s Group I decider against Kylian Mbappe’s France.
“I don't care much. They'll probably beat us and win the title.” 😂
🚨🚨 Roy Keane blasts Messi after becoming all-time World Cup top goalscorer:
“It’s hilarious tbh. Out of his 17 World Cup goals, 8 were penalties. Klose had ZERO!!! 27 games in the World Cup so far, and only 4 penalties have been given in total. To put it into context, Argentina got 5 penalties in 7 games in 2022. Like, wtf??? Even Mbappe, Ronaldo regen, has a better legacy in the WC.
Messi holds or shares the records for most penalties taken in World Cup history, UCL history (23), La Liga (74), a single World Cup (5), a single UCL season (17), and international football overall.
Something is definitely on. The president of the football federation needs to answer this. He was seen sober when other countries score but starts laughing when Argentina and Messi score. Ronaldo is playing against the system, but he has the people behind him.”

Messi is an icon, no doubt about that. But he would've been two goals away from becoming the World Cup top scorer if he was issued a Red card for his challenge on Mandi during the first match (against Algeria); As historic as this achievement is, we have to remember the awfu' officiating which led to his hat-trick.
Olise against Iraq was an absolute masterpiece to witness.Dude was toying the Iraqi players all around.He does with some aura and ease and also providing two assists in the game.
Top notch player 🔥✨ https://t.co/HJ5VEdvt5C
