@ballondor This account is giving way too many 'clarifications' lately... "You can win it even without playing in Europe" "Can win it even without winning the WC" etc etc. Looks like they are setting something up😂

At 19, Rodri was living on a university campus while playing for Villarreal 📚⚽
Now he’s captained Spain to their second World Cup and been named the tournament’s best player 🌎👑
As Rodri once said: “𝘽𝙚𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙢𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙜𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚.”, he told @playerstribune ❤️
Moral of the story: 𝑵𝑬𝑽𝑬𝑹 𝑮𝑰𝑽𝑬 𝑼𝑷 👏
In 2010, a 14-year-old Rodri watched from a summer camp in the USA as his home nation Spain won the World Cup for the first time.
In 2026, he returned to the U.S. to lift it himself 🏆
Kind of forgot FIFA WC has 3rd place game too. ICC will also introduce it immediately on the day when India & Pakistan lose the semi final of the same WC
The 12th, 13th and 14th ranked team- Yayy, we qualified for the World Cup.
ICC- Yes you did, but you need to play qualifiers again.
Joke of a sport. Other sports look to expand. Cricket on the other hand, goes in a completely opposite direction.
ICC really out here inventing a whole new ODI World Cup format just to squeeze in 3 Ind v Pak matches. And have managed to make this unnecessarily complicated. It’s ridiculous, but you’ve got to hand it to them for their creativity in this nonsense
🚨 NEW WORLD CUP FORMAT 🚨
The ICC has approved a new format for the 14-team Men's ODI World Cup.
A new 'Super Series' round will precede the group stage, before a seven-team 'Super 7' decides the semifinalists.
