🇵🇹 | The Black Panther was something else

Most shots attempted by one player in a single World Cup match since 1966:

🥈 15 – Eusébio v North Korea (1966)
🥉 13 – Eusébio v Bulgaria (1966), Luigi Riva v Sweden (1970), Ángel Di María v Switzerland (2014)

Yes, this is Eusébio's *individual* shotmap from the record-breaking match 👇😳

🇭🇹 🇵🇱 Haiti Milli Takımı, Dünya Kupası’nda giyeceği resmi formalarına Polonya bayrağını ekledi.

Bu bir tasarım hatası değil, iki halk arasında yüzyıllardır süren dostluğun sembolü.

1802 yılında Napolyon, Polonya Lejyonları’ndan binlerce askeri Haiti’deki köle ayaklanmasını bastırmak için adaya gönderdi. Ancak birçok Polonyalı asker, özgürlük mücadelesi veren Haitililere karşı savaşmayı reddederek onların safına geçti ve Fransız ordusuna karşı birlikte mücadele etti.

Haiti’nin 1804’te bağımsızlığını kazanmasının ardından ülkenin ilk lideri Jean-Jacques Dessalines, Polonyalılara vatandaşlık verdi ve onları anayasında “Avrupa’nın Siyahları” olarak tanımlayarak büyük bir onur gösterdi.

Aradan 200 yılı aşkın süre geçmesine rağmen Haiti, Polonyalıların dayanışmasını unutmadı. Bugün futbolcular formalarında taşıdıkları Polonya bayrağıyla, özgürlük uğruna verilen ortak mücadelenin hatırasını yaşatıyor.

🚨🗣Steven Gerrard: "this fifa world cup in USA is becoming the worst tournament even before it get started! This is not how it is supposed to be, the weather in the US is terrible for players to play in, and we have news of the Somali referee Omar Artan who was appointed by FIFA denied entry, Iran saying FIFA has withdrawn fans World Cup ticket allocation, couple with funny security checks [Kevin Debruyne Belgium and Senegal players]

"I have to say it again this World Cup is starting to look like a mess, and the tournament hasn't even properly begun yet."

"Usually, before a World Cup, we're talking about the favourites, the star players, and the football. Instead, we're talking about travel problems, ticket controversies, and immigration issues."

"The Omar Artan situation is one of the most disappointing stories I've seen. FIFA selected him because they believed he was good enough to officiate at the World Cup, yet he was denied entry into the United States and will miss the tournament."

"Imagine working your whole life to become the first Somali referee at a World Cup and then being prevented from taking part for reasons completely unrelated to football."

"Then you have Iran's federation saying their allocation of World Cup tickets for supporters was withdrawn just days before the competition. Whether you agree with a government or not, supporters should not be the ones paying the price."

"I've also seen players and delegations complaining about the level of security checks and the delays involved. At some point, people stop feeling welcomed and start feeling like they're being treated as suspects."

"The weather is another concern. We're talking about matches being played in extreme summer conditions. The players are expected to perform at the highest level while dealing with heat that can completely change the rhythm of a game."

"A World Cup should be about bringing the world together. Instead, every day seems to bring another story that has nothing to do with football."

"The worrying thing is that these aren't isolated incidents anymore. When ticket disputes, entry restrictions, and organisational concerns keep appearing, people naturally begin questioning the tournament itself."

"I still hope the football saves the competition because the World Cup is bigger than any host nation. But right now, the headlines aren't making FIFA look good, and they certainly aren't making this look like the celebration of football it was supposed to be."

What has happened at the #2026WorldCup over the last 48 hours:

• Swiss footballer Embolo's visa was put under review and he was only able to join his team days later.

• Iraqi national team player Aymen Hussein was held for questioning for nearly 7 hours upon entering the United States.

• The Iranian national team spent days dealing with visa procedures at the U.S. Consulate in Türkiye. The U.S. only allowed them entry on match days. Fifteen members of the delegation were denied visas.

• Omar Abdulkadir Artan, named CAF's Best African Referee of 2025, was denied a visa. Despite travelling to the U.S. with a diplomatic passport, he was refused entry and sent back. FIFA announced that he will not be able to officiate at the tournament.

• The South African national team arrived in the United States much later than planned because part of the delegation was not granted visas.

• Members of the Senegal national team staff were forced to remove their shoes and subjected to lengthy searches, sparking accusations of racism.

• The Uzbekistan national team was searched with bomb-sniffing dogs and the footage went viral in international media.

• Some Scottish supporters, despite being eligible to enter the U.S. visa-free under the ESTA programme, had their travel authorisations revoked just days before departure.

• Many supporters who had already bought tickets and booked accommodation had their visa applications rejected, resulting in financial losses.
