🚨🎙️Carlo Ancelotti on Casemiro’s amazing impact in the World Cup — post-Manchester United exit:
🗣️“Casemiro has always been one of my favourite players to manage. At Real Madrid, I saw a young defensive midfielder full of heart, discipline and tactical intelligence. He protected the backline with authority, won duels, distributed the ball cleanly and gave absolutely everything for the team — he was already a winner and a true leader in the middle.
With Brazil now, on the pitch, he continues to show that same reliability and leadership, anchoring the midfield, organising the press and stepping up in big moments like this World Cup. But after watching him in training again with the national team, I noticed something extra had evolved.
At Manchester United, he became obsessed with one thing that I never specifically taught him — and honestly, he wasn’t always like this in his early days. Not just jumping higher than the defenders, but arriving exactly where they forgot to look. That intelligence in the box, that perfect timing and anticipation… it’s pure football IQ at the highest level.
Something changed in him during his time in England, and it has made him an even more complete and dangerous player than before — even now, post-Manchester United.
I’m incredibly proud of what he continues to achieve.”
This was not the intention of the offside rule. This is fucking ridiculous. The rule was started to stop cherry picking, and prevent an advantage. Now it’s nitpicking, those guys are in line with one on another. One just has bigger feet. This is dumb. We’re robbing the game

Shoja Khalilzadeh:
“If I score a goal at the world cup, I will dedicate it to my dear martyred leader [Ali Khamenei]”
It was poetic justice to see his goal taken away by VAR last night, a scum like him doesn’t deserve to have a special moment
@TaylorTwellman This is such a stupid take. Unless it’s clear and convincing there should be no overturn. And the goalie came off his line to play the ball, the ball wasn’t deliberately played to the man either. A richochet and unsettled ball cannot be deemed offside. The first play was a shot
The longest time EVER between a player's first and latest World Cup goal:

We'll never see anything like this ever again 🐐🐐
Matheus Cunha's performance vs Haiti was the second-highest ever @Sofascore rating for a Brazilian in a World Cup game in the 21st century (9.2).
Only Ronaldo vs Japan in 2006 is better (9.3) 🤯🇧🇷
Mauricio Pochettino is already tied for the most World Cup wins of any USMNT manager 🇺🇸
The USMNT have won two World Cup games in a row for the first time since 1930. What a time to be alive 🦅

It’s all talk. Just withhold foreign aid to Israel for a month and they’ll stop bombing their neighbors - instant peace, the Strait of Hormuz can be opened, and gas drops $2 a gallon. Israel has been, and continues to be, the biggest welfare recipient from American tax payers.
