🏴🚨 Thomas Tuchel on England facing Argentina in the semi finals:
🗣️: When you go against Argentina you need to be physically, psychologically, mentally and emotionally prepared because even the referees will test your patience.”
🚨🗣️ تيري هنري: "في كل مرة يستقبل فيها الأرجنتين هدفًا، ينتهي الأمر بتلقي الفريق المنافس بطاقة صفراء أو حمراء بطريقة ما، وتحصل الأرجنتين على ركلة جزاء. هذا يحدث في كل مباراة. يجب أن يتوقف - نحتاج إلى إنهاء هذا الفساد."
🚨 VAR reviewed 12 goals for fouls in the build-up, all 12 were ruled out. ❌

🚨Portugal foi a ÚNICA seleção da Copa do Mundo 2026 a ter todos os ingressos esgotados de todos os seus jogos na fase de grupos.
Efeito Cristiano Ronaldo. 🤯🐐
🚨Thierry Henry on Cristiano Ronaldo tears after winning the Saudi Pro League:
🗣️ “ People see Cristiano Ronaldo crying after winning the Saudi Pro League and some laugh because of where he is playing now. But for me, that moment explains exactly why he became one of the greatest athletes we have ever seen.
This is a player who has already conquered football. Champions Leagues, Ballon d’Ors, league titles in England, Spain and Italy, international trophies with Portugal… there is literally nothing left for him to prove to anyone.
Yet at 41 years old, he is still celebrating victories with the same emotion, the same fire and the same obsession he had when he was a teenager at Sporting Lisbon. That is not normal. Most players lose that hunger after winning one or two major trophies. Cristiano never lost it.
People always talk about talent, but mentality is what truly separates legends from great players. Cristiano trained like every season was his last chance. He treated every game like it mattered. That is why he stayed at the top for almost 20 years while generations of players came and disappeared.
To still have that level of passion at his age, after everything he has achieved, is honestly unbelievable. It tells young players that greatness is not only about ability, it is about sacrifice, discipline, consistency and refusing to ever become comfortable.
You can love him or hate him, but you have to respect that mentality. Football may never see another competitor like Cristiano Ronaldo again...”
🚨 Toni Kroos on Cristiano Ronaldo:
“One night after a Champions League game, most of us were happy... we had won comfortably, everyone was laughing in the dressing room.
But Cristiano was silent.
I asked him, ‘What happened?’
He looked at me and said…
‘We scored 3… but I should’ve scored 2 more.’
I thought he was joking… he wasn’t.
The next morning, while others were still recovering, Cristiano was already on the training pitch—watching clips of his missed chances and repeating the same finishing drills again and again.
That’s when I understood… Cristiano wasn’t competing with defenders… he was competing with his own standards.” ⚪🐐Kroos has described Ronaldo’s scoring mentality as a “positive addiction.”
