🚨 Kylian Mbappé has told teammates internally that his main priority is NOT becoming the World Cup's all-time leading goalscorer. 🇫🇷🏆

His one and only focus is winning the World Cup and bringing a third star to France. 😍

He believes the goalscoring record will come naturally if the team achieves that objective. 👏

17 - Most shots on record (since 1966) at a single edition of the FIFA World Cup without creating a single chance for a teammate:

Cristiano Ronaldo, 17 (2026)
Alberto Garcia Aspe, 15 (1998)
Jerzy Gorgon, 13 (1974)
Katlego Mphela, 13 (2010)
Denis Cheryshev, 13 (2018)

🚨 Mikel Merino on his goal against Portugal:

🗣️ “The coach wanted to sub me on in the 50th minute, but I told him to wait because I was studying the game and how the defenders were positioning themselves. It took me 35 minutes to analyze their defense, and I told Raya I would score in the 90th minute, and I delivered. See you next game.”

Infantino must go.

No matter where it’s held, the World Cup belongs to the fans – not gangsters like Trump.

We need someone who’ll finally kick corruption out of FIFA.

Whether it is or isn’t a red to Balogun is now irrelevant. Government interference is a violation of FIFA Article 2 & 15, and the punishment is disqualification and suspension. #FIFAWorldCup

The Royal Belgian Football Association has released a statement regarding the decision to allow USA's Folarin Balogun to play. #FIFAWorldCup
