🚨🗣️NEW: Thierry Henry on Germany 2:1 win against Ivory Coast:
“Football can be cruel, but today it was downright robbery. Ivory Coast didn’t lose because Germany were better; they lost because football doesn’t reward dominance, it rewards moments. And when that moment arrived, Adingra treated it like a hot potato. At this level, you cannot miss chances that simple. The goal was staring at him, begging to be touched, and somehow he found a way to turn gold into dust.
For most of the game, Ivory Coast had Germany chasing shadows. They controlled the rhythm, won the battles, dictated the tempo. Germany looked like passengers on a bus Ivory Coast were driving. Kessié should probably be leaving this match with two goals and the headlines, not with regrets and a defeat.
But this is where elite football separates itself. While Ivory Coast were wasting opportunities, Julian Nagelsmann was playing chess. Every substitution shifted the board. Every decision changed the momentum. Undav was magnificent, a problem Ivory Coast never solved. In fact, I was asking myself one question for 75 minutes: why is Havertz still on the pitch? The moment Nagelsmann changed things, Germany came alive.
That’s the difference. One team controlled the game, the other controlled the outcome. Ivory Coast wrote the story, Germany wrote the ending.
And football only remembers the ending.”

Anastasia Magoutas based her #Ponies costume designs on celebrities from the 70s rock'n'roll world. They were perfect creations and so well adapted to those times. Anastasia was inspired by David Bowie's outfits for the character Andrei Vasiliev, and Bianca Jagger's outfits for Beatrice Grant. Wonderful work! 🎬💯👏 @peacock
