@ChelseaFCW Lauren James blowing chance after chance isn’t getting talked about. Yes she got her goal, but 3 ballooned 3 shots and shot one straight at the goalkeeper. Take nothing away from the goalkeeper, she was really good but at this level, you really should be shooting better!
@CFC__Women She’s got so much potential and among the best talents in world football 💫 Hope the management can harness that potential into a certified superstar! ⭐️
🚨Pau Cubarsi on facing Lionel Messi in the Final:
"For me, this is more than just a World Cup final. It's the first time I'll share a pitch with Lionel Messi, and it's emotional because growing up at Barcelona, I always dreamed of playing alongside him. I was too young when he left, so I never got that chance."
"Now football has written a different story. Instead of being his teammate, I'll face him in the biggest match in football. That's something I'll remember forever. Messi is the Greatest player of all time in my eyes. Playing against him in a World Cup final is an honor, even though once the whistle blows, I'll give absolutely everything for Spain to win. You can't admire someone during the 90 minutes, you have to compete."
"After the game, regardless of the result, there's one thing I really hope for: his jersey. It'll be the most special shirt in my collection, and I'll definitely frame it. Years from now, I'll look at it and remember that I had the privilege of facing the greatest ever on the biggest stage in football. That's a memory I'll cherish for the rest of my life."
Football is genuinely the closest thing we have to a universal language. Expanding the World Cup to 48 teams was a top tier decision man. More countries, more cultures, more stories.
Lo más impresionante del Mundial en Estados Unidos es que no tuvieron que hacer prácticamente nada para recibirlo.
Catar levantó estadios desde cero, construyó un metro completo, rediseñó carreteras, hoteles y barrios enteros, inclusive cuando terminó el evento dijeron que iban a regalar un estadio porque les sobraba.
Sudáfrica tuvo que erigir estadios nuevos, estacionamientos y obras masivas, fue una inversión multi millonaria que abarcó parte de su PBI.
Brasil quemó miles de millones en infraestructura y terminó con un presidente preso por corrupción (Lula), al final todavía estaban las obras cuando comenzó el evento.
Rusia remodeló medio país para estar a la altura, y aún así se veían las deficiencias de infraestructura como de transporte y otros.
¿Y Estados Unidos?
Cambió el césped en algunos estadios. Punto. Nada más. Nada de megaproyectos, nada de obras faraónicas, nada de “reinventar” ciudades.
Y esto pasa porque cuando ya tienes infraestructura de primer mundo, el Mundial no es un problema sino que es un trámite.
