Messi will be hardest leg but I’m not doubting him. Let’s hope for another work of art as these guys chase the Golden Boot!
Born in Newark, New Jersey, USA, to a Ghanaian father and a Japanese mother, Suzuki was eligible to represent three countries: Japan, Ghana and the United States.
He moved to Japan as a child and grew up in Urawa, Saitama. He made his professional debut at 16 years and 5 months old, he became the youngest player ever to sign a professional contract with Urawa Reds
Before moving to Europe , Suzuki reportedly turned down interest from Manchester United because he believed a different pathway would accelerate his development and went to Belgium instead, that season Man United ended up with Onana.
Zion Suzuki is still only 23.
It’s remarkable how much attention was given to whether alcohol would be served at the Qatar World Cup, yet far less outrage is directed at the issues surrounding this tournament in United States.
Fans are being priced out, supporters are struggling to follow their teams, referees are being sidelined, and the overall experience feels increasingly disconnected from the people who make football special.
Instead of celebrating the game’s global community, it feels as though agendas, excessive costs, and power plays have taken centre stage.
A World Cup should be about the fans, the players, and the passion for football, not an exercise in demonstrating authority above the very people who love the sport.
This is pure balderdash. You clearly haven’t watched a single full match of José Mourinho at Roma, Fenerbahçe, Benfica, or Spurs, yet you’re here writing absolute rubbish about him.
José has not failed in any of the jobs where he was eventually sacked.
At Roma, he delivered the club’s first ever major European trophy by winning the UEFA Conference League. He then took them to the Europa League final the following season, where they were only denied by a controversial penalty shootout. That is not failure. That is history.
At Fenerbahçe he finished second in his very first season. One season. Anyone who understands football knows what is happening in Turkey, especially in a league dominated by fierce corruption.
At Benfica, he arrived after the season had already started, with the club struggling and almost eliminated from the Champions League group stage. Despite that, he beat Real Madrid CF and guided them into the knockout rounds. Again, that is not failure.
At Spurs, he was sacked just days before a cup final. And we all know what happened next. Spurs did what Spurs do best: they lost the final. If anything, that decision only reinforced Mourinho’s value as a serial winner.
People are too quick to judge based on headlines instead of actual football. Mourinho has consistently improved teams, won trophies, and restored belief wherever he has gone.
This is the same rubbish you said about Antoine Semenyo when he signed for Manchester City, all based on some useless six-minute video. That tells me everything.
You lot only know how to watch the so-called big teams and then pretend to be experts on managers and players you clearly do not follow.
Watch the games. Study the context. Understand the circumstances. Then come and talk football.
Until then, stop disrespecting one of the greatest managers the game has ever seen.
God knows the first car I'm buying for my kids is the Honda Civic.
The only car that'll forgive you for forgetting an oil change.
It doesn't hold grudges at all.
