Go on a generational run.
Score 1-0.
Get scared.
Midfield drops back immediately.
Goes park the bus.
Lose the game catastrophically.

England mentality. 60 years of failure.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 mete el gol y se va atrás. Planteamiento cobarde. No han salido del área y han permitido a 🇦🇷 llegar más. Sucede lo lógico.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🙌 Harry Kane, speaking like an adult, on the Jude Bellingham and Thomas Tuchel debate.

This is fantastic from the England captain. A mature, sensible and considered response:

🗣️ Kane: "Yeah, look, it's... When you're playing a game, especially a game like that, and you get asked a question five minutes after the final whistle, when he hasn't really known what the manager's really said, it's like, what do you want Jude to say?

Like, we've just been through a battle, it was really tough out there.

I think it's easy to try and create this division. It always seems to be maybe an English mentality and English thing to do at these major tournaments, but it's the complete opposite.

You know, the group is where we are because of our togetherness."

Tony Allen says Hasheem Thabeet used to EAT hotdogs and hamburgers 35 mins before NBA games. 😭

"I said, 'Big fella... you can't be eating hotdogs and hamburgers with 35 on the clock.'"

"He looked at me and said, 'Says who?'" 🤣

"He wasn't hearing none of that."

"He started wearing skinny jeans and shades... I said, 'It's over. It's over with him.'"

🚨🗣 Egypt's Coach Hossam Hassan couldn't control himself after full-time:

"I will say what's on my mind regardless of the consequence, this was clearly a rigged match and the whole world saw it"

"And I want to say one more thing, if they want them [Argentina] to win so bad, why call everyone to come and participate?"

[Rob Harris @RobHarris]

Egypt disallowed goal:
It's allowed under VAR rules but tech in football was never meant for that - to wind back the play so long to review a softer tackle at the other end of the pitch not directly in the final phase of the counterattack. A tackle seen at the time by the ref

[Institute for Hispano Studies @hispano_studies]

The discourse connecting Brazilian soccer to Protestantism points to a deeper cultural claim: that Brazil’s football decline is not merely tactical, generational, or administrative, but spiritual and civilizational.

The argument is that the old Brazilian style — playful, communal, improvised, joyful, almost liturgical in its beauty — emerged from a Catholic cultural world where celebration, embodiment, festivity, and collective identity were natural. Football was art, dance, procession, neighborhood, and gift.

The critique of Evangelical or Neopentecostal influence is not simply “religion made them worse.” It is that a different religious imagination produces a different kind of athlete: more individualistic, more testimonial, more focused on personal salvation, discipline, destiny, and moral performance. In that framework, football can become less carnaval and more career; less shared national myth and more platform for the individual believer.

Brazil’s decline obviously has many causes: tactics, European club football, federation dysfunction, money, coaching, player development, and global competition. But the religious argument touches something statistics miss: the loss of a national soul, or at least the feeling that Brazil no longer plays with the same sacred joy.

[Institute for Hispano Studies @hispano_studies]

Brazil was better when their players were womanizers, drunkards and slightly out of shape. In other words, when they were behaving like Catholics— letting the power of friendship and good fun do the heavy lifting.

Evangelical Protestant sterilization has flattened their ball, ruined their samba, and obliterated their swag.

World historic aura loss.
