🚨 𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪: Saudi Arabia's flag was not placed on the pitch before the game vs Uruguay.
Unlike most national flags, the Saudi flag must remain raised at all times because it contains the Islamic declaration of faith (the Shahada), one of the most sacred phrases in Islam.
The flag must not touch the ground or water out of respect for its religious significance.
Japan honoured their captain Wataru Endo, who withdrew from the World Cup and announced his retirement from international football due to injury, by hanging his shirt on the bench throughout their match against the Netherlands 👕🇯🇵
🚨⚪️ Official statement scheduled today for Marc Cucurella, new Real Madrid player on a contract until June 2032.
Six year deal, €55m plus €5m add-ons to Chelsea.
🎩✨ We need to talk about Amad Diallo:
• He didn’t start against Ecuador, but he was still supporting his team from the bench.
• Then, in the second half, he came on against a tough Ecuador side with Caicedo, Pacho and Hincapié pressing hard defensively.
• Amad entered the pitch and changed the game, alongside Diomande. He showed no fear and scored the winning goal in the 90th minute against all odds.
• At the end of the match, he stayed on the pitch praying after the goal he had just scored.
This was Ivory Coast’s first World Cup win since 2014... The greatness of Amad Diallo. The greatness of Manchester United. 🇨🇮🔥

Thoughts?
Something feels off about this moment to be honest because why are the South African players looking like that?
Is the English too much for them to digest or they're struggling to understand it? 😭😭
