🚨Murat Yakin on Gregor Kobel after Switzerland eliminated Colombia on penalties:
🗣️ Reporter: “Murat, what makes Gregor Kobel such a special goalkeeper? Tonight he saved Switzerland when everything was on the line.”
🗣️ Murat Yakin:
“That’s exactly why he’s special. People only remember the penalty saves. I remember everything that happened before them. His positioning. His communication. The calmness he gives the defenders. Gregor doesn’t wait until the shootout to become important. He spends ninety minutes making sure his teammates feel secure. Then, when the biggest moment arrives, he’s already mentally prepared for it.
People think goalkeeping is about spectacular saves. Gregor has built his career on making the right decisions at the right time. Even after Akanji missed his penalty, he never allowed panic to enter his mind. He simply walked to his line, trusted his preparation and did his job. Saving two penalties in a World Cup shootout is extraordinary, but for those of us who work with him every day, it isn’t surprising. That’s the standard he sets for himself.
Football will remember the penalties, but I’ll remember his mentality. He never asked to be the hero. He simply accepted the responsibility when the team needed him most. That’s what elite players do. Tonight Switzerland are celebrating because Gregor Kobel reminded everyone that sometimes the biggest match-winner isn’t the striker… it’s the man standing between the posts.

“He called out the corruption, absolute legend”
🚨 Jurgen Klopp on VAR controversial decision on Egypts vs Argentina:
🗣️ "For me, the biggest talking point wasn't the score - it was the decisions.
Egypt produced some outstanding football. The move involving Hassan and Mohamed Salah was full of pace, quality and intelligence, yet the sequence ended in controversy that will be debated for a long time.
These are the moments supporters expect VAR to bring clarity. When major decisions leave both players and fans confused, the discussion naturally shifts away from the football itself.
Regardless of which team you support, every nation deserves consistency, transparency and confidence in the biggest calls. At the World Cup, the football - not the officiating - should always be the headline."
🔴 Lisandro Martínez on his elite partnership with Cristian "Cuti" Romero 🇦🇷🔥
🗣️ "I love playing with him, and honestly, even against him. We’re fierce rivals in the Premier League, but the second we put on the Argentina shirt, all of that is forgotten. We become one.
Cuti is a top, top-tier player. He scores headers, finishes with his feet, and his ball progression is world-class. You saw it in that match his goal gave the entire squad the belief that we could make a comeback. If he’s not on the pitch, that moment doesn't happen. That’s the level of faith I have in him.
Next up is Switzerland. We need to keep this momentum high, do our jobs, and play with absolute passion for our country!"
Would you want Cristian Romero to pair with Lisandro Martínez at Manchester United?
🚨🇨🇭 Manuel Akanji on facing Argentina in the quarter-final:
🗣️ "I just hope the officiating is fair, that's all I ask for. The match should be decided by the players on the pitch, not by controversial decisions.
The officials must do their job professionally, without favouring either team, and let the best team win.
We're prepared to fight for every ball and give everything for our country.
At this stage of the tournament, every team deserves to be treated equally and with respect.
If Argentina are the better side, we'll accept it. but let the result be earned through football, not controversy." 🎙️

🚨Piers Morgan call out FIFA and refreee for denying Egypt the last minute penalty which resulted to Argentina goal
“I watched the match between Argentina and Egypt and I have to say that the officiating of the game is favouring one side which is Argentina, I have keep saying this, even in the last World Cup, that’s what they keep doing, in this World Cup too they keep doing same, they are helping one person which is Messi
