Nineteen years ago, Lionel Messi bathed a baby named Lamine Yamal for a charity calendar. Some call it football's most famous blessing. Others say it sounds like the plot of the perfect movie.
Tomorrow, we find out how it ends at the NYNJ Stadium.
Before the final chapter is written, join us live for the last World Cup Morning Pitch for the weather, traffic, and transit updates you need before kickoff.
The final Morning Pitch streams at 8:30 AM on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and X. See you there.
To the world today, Nelson Mandela is a hero exalted as a legend. But to the people of South Africa, he was Madiba, a leader who fought for justice even when the tides of the present were turned swiftly against it. To honor Madiba’s legacy is to fight injustice before history rewrites itself.
Yes, those photos you’ve seen are real.
More than 18 years ago, a baby named Lamine Yamal and his mom Sheila met Lionel Messi at a UNICEF fundraising photoshoot.
Today, their achievements on the pitch inspire millions. Off the pitch, both Messi and Lamine Yamal use their voices and platforms as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors to support and advocate for children around the world.
The goal? That every child survives, thrives, and fulfils their potential.
We are proud to have them on our team.

Today over 100 Democrats voted for the Massie Amendment to zero aid to Israel. My brother @RepBowman & @CoriBush lost their seats for this stand 2 years ago. As a colleague told me, Black martyrdom is normalized in America. Today I want to recognize their courage.
Yes, President Trump is right.
The $1 trillion in tax breaks his "Big Beautiful Bill" gave to the top 1% helped his wealthy friend buy a private jet that "he didn't need."
Meanwhile, that same bill is throwing millions of Americans off of the healthcare they desperately need.

#Morocco Public Prosecution Office is releasing veteran journalist Ali Lmrabet after he has spent almost 3 days in detention during which he was interrogated over allegations of spreading slanderous fake news
Le Journaliste Ali Lmrabet est libre, il vient d’être relâché dur décision du parquet.
Comme dans l’affaire de Fouad Adelmoumni, la force de la mobilisation a convaincu le régime de lâcher le morceau:

Asked about the recent ICE-related fatal shootings in Texas and Maine, Houston’s top prosecutor, Harris District Attorney Sean Teare, tells @camiloreports that the actions of federal immigration agents “in no way resemble” the tactics of “every law enforcement agency” he’s worked for.
“Either these agents are completely untrained, or intentionally putting themselves in situations where they can justify firing into cars,” Teare said.
Footage from a security camera captured the shooting Monday during an immigration enforcement operation in the city of Biddeford. The incident marked the second time in a week that ICE used deadly force and at least the ninth death since President Donald Trump began his immigration crackdown.
