🚨🎙️Thierry Henry on the new 2026 World Cup ball that needs to be plugged in and charged before kick off:
“Football is finished. Completely finished. We are charging footballs now? Charging footballs before kick-off like they’re iPhones? And people still want to tell me this sport has ‘romance’ left?
The biggest sport on earth, the most emotional game in the world, and now the football itself has a battery inside it like it’s a smartwatch. Think about how insane that sounds for a second.
“They keep calling it ‘progress’, but sometimes I look at modern football and honestly wonder if we’re slowly killing the soul of the game.
Back in my day, the ball was a ball. You kicked it, you controlled it, you scored. Simple. Now we have sensors inside the ball, 12 cameras watching every blade of grass, computers tracking every heartbeat, and VAR officials sitting in a room deciding football frame-by-frame like it’s some science experiment.
And don’t tell me this is ‘for accuracy’. Accuracy for who? Because all I see is the game becoming more robotic every single year. Strikers can’t celebrate goals anymore because they’re waiting for a microchip inside the ball to tell them if someone’s shoelace was offside three passes earlier.
You score a goal now and nobody celebrates properly anymore. The striker looks at the linesman. The fans look at the screen. The referee puts his finger to his ear. Then everybody waits 90 seconds for a laboratory decision from people sitting behind monitors.
The funniest part? FIFA will market this as ‘innovation’. Innovation? No. It’s control. Football was the most human sport in the world because of emotion, controversy, chaos, mistakes, that’s what made people fall in love with it. Now everything is engineered.
Soon they’ll have AI referees, automatic red cards, and maybe balls that vibrate when a player dives. We laugh now, but look how fast this nonsense is moving.
And people wonder why old-school fans say modern football has lost its soul. We went from street football to Silicon Valley football in less than 20 years.
Imagine telling Ronaldinho, Zidane, or R9 that one day the World Cup ball would need charging before a final. They would think you were joking.”
Modern football keeps calling itself ‘evolution’. Sometimes it looks more like the death of spontaneity.”
Cuitan @SerieA_Lawas soal bek tengah asal Argentina bikin saya ingat Nicolas Burdisso.
Bukan soal performanya di lapangan, tapi kisahnya waktu diizinkan manajemen Internazionale Milano untuk cuti bermain. Kok bisa?
Februari 2005, Burdisso diberitahu keluarganya bahwa sang putri sakit. Hal yang membuat lelaki kelahiran Altos de Chipion itu kaget adalah putrinya didiagnosa terkena leukemia.
Keadaan tersebut disampaikannya kepada Roberto Mancini (pelatih), Giacinto Facchetti (presiden klub) & Massimo Moratti (pemilik klub). Tanpa fafifufufafa, Burdisso dipersilahkan mudik ke Argentina pada tengah kompetisi.
Gak cuma itu karena manajemen I Nerazzurri memberi garansi kepada Burdisso kalau dirinya boleh menemani sang putri menjalani perawatan hingga selesai.
Total, Burdisso menghabiskan waktu selama delapan bulan di kampung halamannya!
Dirinya kembali merumput dengan baju Inter pada Oktober 2005. Pada laga perdananya kembali ke San Siro, Burdisso mendapat standing ovation dari tifosi I Nerazzurri.
"Senang rasanya bisa kembali. Saya mencintai Inter & para tifosi", kata Burdisso dalam wawancara pasca-pertandingan.
Thuram: "Rooting for your team is fine, but telling me that I should die in private messages, that's a no and it breaks my heart. Dimash is MVP, he's got like 52 assists!!!!"
Scudetto euphoria and excitement continue after Inter officially clinched its 21st title in club's history. Marcus Thuram was a standout in the last five matches, racking up 8 G/A in clutch after clutch performances. The French forward spoke with Calhanoglu on Instagram live.
"Some people are really mad that we don't win big matches. They said Inter were an old team. Did they create an award for those who win the big matches?"
To which, Calhanoglu replied: "Blah, blah, blah..."
Thuram continues, "Where's Lautaro? Look, Dimarco has joined the chat. He's the MVP of the season. He's racked up 52 assists!!!! Every time he touches the ball, it's an assist. Pass the ball to Dimash and we can celebrate. I'm really happy we won this Scudetto. Honestly, there are really nasty people out there who really break my heart. I'm a good, kind person but there are people who really break my heart. Truly!"
Calhanoglu: "We shouldn't even talk about it."
But Thuram doesn't want to stop: "I can't help but speak up man. It's crazy out there. People really don't want us to do well, it's pure malice you know? I can understand supporting other teams but I don't get this nastiness, this malice toward us. What have we done? Nothing. We go out on the pitch, we work, we play this game. Sometimes we win, we win often, but there are nasty people out there. They want to see us die, you know that Hakan?"
Calhanoglu replies: "They are not serious people, there are good fans out there."
Thuram adds: "Rooting for other teams is fine but it's like you want a Ferrari and I want a Lamborghini. I don't go around saying I want to smash your car... you get it? They want to destroy our team. I want to talk to them, I think I can change them. I understand the whistles, the boos, but telling me that I should die in private messages, that's a no right there."

🎙️ Cristian Chivu:
"I've spent 19 years at this club. For me, it means everything. My children were born in Milan. I've been in this wonderful city for nearly 20 years and I'm happy.
I've had the opportunity to wear this jersey and win, and to be the coach of this club, and now to be able to win as a coach as well." @SkySport
Cristian Chivu masuk jajaran 5 pelatih yang meraih Scudetto pada musim pertama! 🏆
1. Árpád Weisz (1929/30)
2. Alfredo Foni (1952/53)
3. Giovanni Invernizzi (1970/71)
4. José Mourinho (2008/09)
5. Cristian Chivu (2025/26) 🆕
Siapa yg menyangka? Diawal penunjukan banyak yg meremehkannya tapi Chivu berhasil membawa #Inter merebut kembali Scudetto.
Apa itu adaptasi taktik? Apa itu butuh waktu? Apa itu percaya proses? Chivu langsung juara di musim perdananya!
Menyala pelatih penjasku! 🔥
Hancur lebur musim lalu saat punya kesempatan raih piala tapi gagal semua meninggalkan luka menganga.
Ditinggal pelatih yang bikin cara main Inter begitu seksi lalu menggantinya dengan figur minim pengalaman lahirkan ragam interpretasi.
Dalam kondisi sulit & terjepit, Inter punya satu misi luar biasa pada musim ini yakni bangkit. Alhamdulillah, Inter melakoninya dengan penuh spirit sehingga kembali elit.

@LambeResing Bukan perkara kalahnya, tapi perkara tap out nya yg berlawanan dengan esensi Never Give Up nya Cena. Kalo kalahnya KO atau Pin ya mungkin org lebih terima.
Makanya yg kena boo itu Triple H.
Kalau perkara kalah di last match kita tau udah macem tradisi passing the torch.
