By the way what was that act from Messi yesterday? Where Cucurella clearly told him Cubarsì has an injury on his upper lip and he made a huge fuss pretending like he was covering his mouth to get him sent off? Very disturbing.
Like come on man you‘re the greatest player alive, why do you have to sink this low and do cheap stuff like this?
Roy Keane on Turkey losing 2-0 to Australia national soccer team in their World Cup opener:
🗣️ “I don't want to hear excuses. Before the match, everyone was talking about Turkey as if the three points were already in the bag. Well, football doesn't care about predictions.
Australia looked like a team playing for their lives. Turkey looked like a team waiting for something to happen. That's the difference. One side competed, the other side expected.
What annoys me most is the attitude. You can forgive mistakes. You can forgive missed chances. But you cannot forgive a lack of urgency at a World Cup.
Australia won the physical battle, the mental battle, and in key moments they won the football battle too. That's embarrassing if you're Turkey because they were supposed to be the team making the statement tonight.
Some players will look at the tactics, some will blame luck, and some will point fingers elsewhere. Nonsense. Start by looking in the mirror. World Cups are not won by talent alone.
The harsh reality is this: Australia arrived believing they could win. Turkey arrived believing they should win. One mindset creates history. The other creates headlines like this.”
“Some of the guys from the fanclub wanted to go closer to the pitch. I choose to stay near the exit door and maybe it saved my life?”
Shortly after his friends left him and with about an hour until kick-off, Liverpool fans started throwing stones at the Juve fans right in front of him.
“I saw two persons get hit by stones. They had blood all over their faces. I knew I had to get out, so I immediately ran to the exit door which was not far behind me”.
From the outside, Ugo began to hear screaming from inside the stadium. What he didn't know was that at this point, Liverpool fans had knocked down the small metal fence that separated the two fan groups from each other.
There were now a free passage and within seconds, 200 Liverpool hooligans ran towards the Juve supporters, who could only retreat further into their own section. This resulted in enormous pressure up against a big unforceable wall. People were huddled together in one large pile. Unable to move, but also unable to help the people around them and more importantly, the ones who had fallen and were now lying beneath them.
The continuous attacks from the English hooligans went on and on. Eventually the wall collapsed from the massive pressure created by the fleeing and frightened crowd and a large number of human got trapped under the rubbles.
‼️🔥🔥🎙️ | Adriano Galliani takes a swipe at Inter: “Italy is the only case in the world where third place becomes first. In heaven, the last become first; on earth, third place becomes first. Capello had won two league titles on the pitch with Juventus.”

😔 Roberto Baggio: “Sahadan çıkarken içimde bir ses bana şöyle dedi: ‘Bitti Roberto… artık gerçekten bitti.’
Beni en çok etkileyen şey ise hayatımın son maçını, futbolun mabedi olan San Siro’da, başka bir büyük efsane olan Paolo Maldini’nin karşısında oynamış olmamdı.
O gün ağlamamaya karar vermiştim. Ama oyundan çıkarken Paolo bana sarıldı ve şöyle dedi:
‘Her şey için teşekkürler Roberto… Bugünden sonra İtalyan futbolu artık eskisi gibi olmayacak.’
Bu sözleri duyunca gözümden bir damla yaş süzüldü. Taraftarlara el salladım… Tüm San Siro ayaktaydı. Çocukların, gençlerin ve babaların ağladığını görüyordum.
İnsanların beni ne kadar sevdiğini ancak o anda gerçekten anladım…”
