Miroslav Klose precisou jogar 4 copas para atingir a marca de 13 gols em copas do mundo.

Ronaldo precisou jogar 4 copas para atingir a marca de 13 gols em copas do mundo.

Mbappe precisou jogar 3 copas para atingir a marca de 13 gols em copas do mundo

Messi precisou jogar 5 copas para atingir a marca de 13 gols em copas do mundo.

O senhor Just Fontaine marcou 13 gols em uma única edição de copa do mundo. (Sendo eliminado na semifinal por um jovem de 17 anos chamado Pelé).

Kevin Garnett calls out Victor Wembanyama for being ‘too emotional’ after winning the Western Conference Finals 👀

[BILLIONAIRE UNIVERSITY® @TheBillionaireU]

In the summer of 2024 Jalen Brunson left $113 million on the table. 👀

He could have signed a 5 year $269M supermax in 2025.
Instead he signed a 4 year $156.5M extension one year early.
$113 million less in guaranteed money. On purpose.
Why? Because he understood the business.
That decision kept the Knicks under the NBA's second apron, the hard cap that restricts roster moves. It unlocked OG Anunoby's $212.5M extension. It made the Mikal Bridges trade possible. It built the roster playing in the NBA Finals tonight.

But here's the part nobody is talking about. He didn't just sacrifice. He was strategic. Fourth year is a player option. He can opt out and sign a 4 year $323M deal in 2028 or a 5 year $418M deal in 2029. He positioned himself to earn more than the supermax would have paid him anyway.
That is not a pay cut. That is a business move.

52 years since the last championship. $113 million left on the table. One player who understood that winning builds more wealth than any contract ever could.
Game 1 tonight. 8:30 PM ET on ABC.
Was Brunson's $113M sacrifice the greatest team move in NBA history?

BRUNSON. AGAIN.

Madrid Masters 1000 R3:

🇧🇷 João Fonseca vs. 🇪🇸 Rafael Jodar

- Two 19yos
- The two best teenagers in the world (by far)
- The only players born in 2006 with ATP titles and top 10 wins

BIG yes please!!!

Most bettors don’t have a betting problem.
They have a patience problem.

They know bankroll management.
They know variance exists.
They’ve heard “discipline” a thousand times.

But the moment nothing is happening, they force action.

Bets placed out of boredom quietly do more damage than bad reads.

The edge is often doing nothing — and being okay with it.

[Tennis Masterr @tennismasterr]

This latest mini-doc on Bublik’s last season is a great reminder of how much the general audience often doesn’t know about what’s really going on with players’ health / daily life.

In this case, Bublik admitted that he was hurt after winning Hangzhou and arriving in Beijing. It also looks like he had an MRI, but still tried to play.

Looking back at the pricing on his match against Mannarino (which he lost quickly in straights), the betting markets were unaware of the situation too.

Another strong reminder of why responsible gambling and proper staking plans are a must.

Also, even if one player’s fitness concerns are publicly known, that doesn’t mean the other player is 100% healthy — just because there is no information online doesn’t mean everything is fine and the other way around.

That’s why I’ve started taking pre-match fitness narratives and retirements with a grain of salt in recent months.

🚨🚨THE TUSH PUSH STOPPER🚨🚨

The Chicago #Bears have found another way to stop the #Eagles unstoppable Tush Push play…

Chicago had the cornerback run off the edge… go directly at the quarterback for the ball, and PUNCH IT OUT.

Genius defensive play�

[José Lopes @JoseASLopes1994]

@tennismasterr I love it 🤣

[The Sinner Times @sinnertimes]

🚨 ATP Ranking battle explained (not the Race)

⚡️ Carlos Alcaraz
• Wins Tokyo → defends 500 → 11,540 pts
• Skips Shanghai → −200 (already lost) → 11,340 pts
• Only 300 left to defend (Paris 100 + Finals 200)
👉 With a strong Paris + Finals run, he could still get back to No.1.

🦊 Jannik Sinner
• Must defend: 330 (Beijing), 1000 (Shanghai), 1500 (Finals)
• Winning Beijing → +170 = 10,950 pts (gap 390 after Alcaraz −200)
• Winning Beijing + Shanghai + Vienna → Oct 27 back to No.1: 11,450 vs 11,340 (+110)
⚠️ But then drops 1500 Finals pts a week later → needs strong Paris run.

Another great tennis trip in the books! 👋

Three days of tennis at the most picturesque tournament on the tour — the 🇲🇨 Monte Carlo Masters.

In this thread: the things I liked most, a few downsides, and some general info about the tournament that could be helpful for anyone planning to visit in the future. Let’s dive in below. 🧵👇

[The Tennis Letter @TheTennisLetter]

Lance Davis from the Indian Wells bee attack last year had unmatched aura

[José Morgado @josemorgado]

Incredible start of the season from Medjedovic.

New team (Jorge Aguirre) and the decision to skip the Australian Open really worked.

A fantastic ball striker.

[José Morgado @josemorgado]

Madison Keys (former #7) will return to the top 10 on Monday.

The WTA Top 10 will have four (!) players from the USA: Gauff, Pegula, Navarro and Keys.

[José Morgado @josemorgado]

TENNIS.

Imagine not loving this sport…

[José Morgado @josemorgado]

Incredible first week at the #AusOpen:

All the three top 10 players that lost complete matches (Dimitrov retired) were beaten by teenagers.

19yo Tien d. #5 Medvedev
19yo Mensik d. #6 Ruud
18yo Fonseca d. #9 Rublev

[José Lopes @JoseASLopes1994]

@jirilech @nishikoripicks i view him as a player that lacks some tennis atributes, so his overall results were good, losing most of the times to tournament winners.
About the price, i believe is correct like i said before.
Sonego thrives with his serve, w/o is hard.
no value on sonego honestly

[José Lopes @JoseASLopes1994]

@jirilech @nishikoripicks Rublev is a top10, 3-0 is strong, check his results in the 2nd half of 2024
loss in UMAG to cerundolo(winner).
loss in WAS to tiafoe (winner)
Win against sinner in a atp 1000, end up losing to popyrin(winner)
2-1 loss vs sinner in CIN (winner)
5 set thriller vs Dimitrov in USO..

[José Morgado @josemorgado]

HE IS SPECIAL!

18 year old João Fonseca defeats Learner Tien 2-4, 4-3(8), 4-0, 4-2 to win the NextGen ATP Finals in Jeddah.

The 2nd youngest ever to do it after Jannik Sinner in 2019.

Earns over 500k dollars.

Watch out, 2025. He is coming.😳🔥
