My first-ever first-person piece.
A reflection on my World Cup memories and why the tournament means so much more than just four weeks of football.
It's about memories, friendships, travel, community and conversations that last a lifetime.

Growing up every four years: The World Cup isn't just a tournament; it's the timeline for a lifetime of football.

Overnight in Brazil, in a huge meeting between the top two, Palmeiras took advantage of an early Jorge Carrascal red card to enjoy a 3-0 win over Flamengo Rio de Janeiro.
Arthur Elias has called up his Brazil side for the upcoming fixtures against the United States in a repeat of the 2024 Olympic final.
Marta returns for the first time since helping Brazil win last year’s Copa América, scoring three goals and providing three assists.
When Carlo Ancelotti named his 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, one of the first questions many had was: where is João Pedro? 🇧🇷
So, I decided to look into the possible tactical reasons why he was left out.
