Erling Haaland turned 26 today.

Some of what he’s already accomplished:

-317 career goals in 402 games
-112 Premier League goals in 132 appearances
-Fastest player ever to reach 100 Premier League goals
-Premier League single-season record: 36 goals
-Three Golden Boots in four Premier League seasons
-Fastest player ever to reach 50 Champions League goals, doing it in 49 games
-62 goals in 54 appearances for Norway
-Nine trophies with Manchester City, including the Treble and Champions League

Absurd.

15 games. 11 cities. 37 days. Countless Ws.

What an incredible experience serving as the @FOXSports @FIFAWorldCup correspondent!

My favorite part of this journey was having the opportunity to immerse myself in so many different cultures and witness firsthand the power of the beautiful game.

Football empowers people from all over the world to come together, represent their countries, compete at the highest level and celebrate as one. No matter where you are from or what language you speak, the passion for the game connects us all.

What a beautiful thing!

I’m so grateful to FOX Sports and FIFA for allowing me to be part of such a special experience.

And America, y'all showed out in EVERY city! So blessed to be part of FOOTBALL!

I saw The Odyssey (🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟) a second time on Friday immediately after seeing it Thursday. This is the only time in the history of running this account that I’ve reviewed the same film back-to-back the day after its release. And after seeing The Odyssey a second time, I’m honestly ready for a third. Yes, I consider this one of the best films of the decade. Yes, I consider this the single best film of Christopher Nolan’s career. And yes, this is the film I think will win the Oscar for Best Picture, including Dune: Part 3 - and I say that as someone who has seen three minutes of Dune 3 & couldn’t believe his eyes. The Odyssey is quite frankly one of the best films I’ve ever seen. 

Those of you who’ve followed me by now know how strongly I believe that movies are moments: long after we’ve seen a film, we don’t remember plot-lines, characters, or even how a film ends sometimes. We remember moments. I consider a “masterpiece” a film that is filled with moment after moment after moment. That is precisely what The Odyssey achieves: it gives us moment…after moment…after moment. 

Upon rewatching a second time, albeit not in IMAX on 70 MM this go around, what stood out to me the most is that Nolan pulls off a different type of magic every time Odysseus and his men pull off to shore. First, it’s the Cyclops, which might honestly be the film’s best sequence. Then, it’s the mammoth warriors on Laestrygonians. Followed by Circe’s Island where Odysseus’s men are turned into animals. All of which is followed by a trip to Hades & then the Sirens’ Island. Each of these sequences demands something different from Nolan as a filmmaker. He’s forced to deploy different styles & techniques throughout- some utilize sound & practical effects more (the Cyclops) others have to literally navigate the sea (Sirens’ Island). But every last one of these sequences constitutes a moment. Strung together, you get a masterpiece. That’s all without mentioning the flashback sequences describing the fall of Troy, which, again, are fucking impossibly breathtaking. 

The seminal moment of all the moments I just listed is Odysseus visiting Hades. Nolan primarily shot the Underworld in Iceland & upon rewatch, it’s this sequence that really took my breath away. It’s arguably the emotional core of the entire film outside of Odysseus’s final monologue to Penelope in the film’s last act. The way Sinon & Agamemnon rise from the dead & tell their stories is haunting & chilling while totally unforgettable. It’s one of my favorite sequences from any Nolan film ever. It’s also the best use of the score throughout the film.

I’ve had enough time & I’ve given enough thought- Hell, I’ve spent 6 hours watching this film in two days- and I truly consider The Odyssey to be as good as Gladiator, The Lord of the Rings, or any other epic of my lifetime. From the score to the cast to the final frame, I don’t think there’s anything about this movie I would change. The Odyssey might be the best film released since I started this account. At a minimum, it’s struck me the most in the immediate aftermath of my first two viewings. 

Cinema lives.

I saw someone say, “No spoilers for The Odyssey.” Brother, you’ve had 3,000 years to read the book.

Giving Lionel Messi the ball and freedom to do whatever the fuck he wants for 30 minutes is single handedly the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen a football manager do

[Jimmy King @Jimmyking35]

I’m not a Messi or an Argentina fan but sometimes you have to take a step back and recognize that you’re witnessing one of the legends of the game do something special

[internet hall of fame @InternetH0F]

In 2007, Lionel Messi held a baby for a photo shoot. That baby grew up to be Spanish soccer star Lamine Yamal!

19 years later, Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal are set to face off in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina!

[JustFreshKicks @JustFreshKicks]

These are the two stars of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final.

[Patrick Kidd @patrick_kidd]

And so the World Cup final will be between two teams who couldn’t beat Cape Verde in 90 minutes.

[Stop That Football @stopthatfooty]

Stop that Messi.

[Rodger Sherman @rodger]

the World Cup final will be between two teams that Cape Verde played even through 90 minutes

give them a trophy

[Annalise Keating @Ariannnyy_]

You can’t convince me life is just a series of coincidences. What do you mean Lionel Messi was randomly paired with a five-month-old baby after the baby’s family won a UNICEF raffle for a charity photoshoot while Messi played for Barcelona… and that baby grew up to be Lamine Yamal?

Lamine would go on to become one of the brightest young stars in soccer, wear the same No. 19 Messi wore for the same team when that photo was taken, and now, nearly two decades later, could face Messi in a World Cup Final???????
