The 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany is still, arguably, the greatest World Cup tournament of the modern era.
It had everything football fans could ask for. World-class players, unforgettable goals, iconic matches, shocking moments, and legendary performances.
Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo, Kaka, Beckham, Klose, Figo, Deco, Didier Drogba, Thierry Henry, Gerrard, Lampard, Andrea Pirlo, Fabio Cannavaro, Buffon, Francesco Totti, Del Piero, Ronaldinho, Roberto Carlos, Riquelme, Hernán Crespo, Michael Ballack, Podolski and many more.
Zidane’s performance against Brazil is still regarded by many people as one of the finest individual displays in World Cup history.
2006 was the perfect blend of old legends making their last appearance and future legends announcing their arrival. It was the final World Cup for legends like Zidane, Ronaldo and Figo, while Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were just beginning their journey.
You can check YouTube for highlights of the tournament and you will understand what I am saying.
🚨🚨 Enrique Riquelme: “If Erling Haaland and Rodri don’t join Real Madrid with me, I will pay 100% of the membership fees for all 100,000 Real Madrid members.”
Dumfries is a solid back up RB. Very solid! Also different from Trent stylistically, so that’s a plus. Fair play to him for bagging a four year deal too.
As AgbaAkin of the Josi Family, I was proud to join thousands of sons and daughters of Ijebuland at Ojude Oba on Friday. Our culture remains our strength, and our heritage continues to unite us across generations.

@MadridistaDave I disagree. It’s been way worse than this. We were bad and with little wriggle room to be better. Now, I think we’re just battling with an identity crisis over who we are.
We enjoyed our roundtable discussion with executives from @altotrain, Cadence, and JR Central🚄 at ALTO's headquarter in Montreal. We hope that Japan's high-speed rail experience and technology can contribute to a better Canada 🇨🇦.
