The duck is still on the loose in Mexico! 🤣

There is simply no equivalent to the Fifa World Cup.
Not the Super Bowl. Not the Olympics.

You have ducks wearing soccer jerseys in the streets of Mexico, random German bros like Freddy going full National Geographic mode on X documenting the beating heart of America while South Koreans are wearing sombreros and dancing to Gangnam style in a taqueria.

As a European at heart, seeing people from Germany, Scotland, France, Spain and so many more discovering the endless and exceptional energy that makes this country so beautiful is an unparalleled joy.

As a French living in Chicago, I cannot even explain how happy it makes me to see my US friends finally feel the magnetic power of the World Cup on home soil.

C'est magnifique.

A duck wearing a Mexico kit.

I’m moving to Mexico immediately 😂🇲🇽

[Des Vertannes @DMSV]

Great scenes!

This is why the World Cup is the best tournament on the planet. 🥰

Mexicans dancing and singing GANGNAM STYLE with the Koreans in Mexico after South Korea's World Cup win 😭

[Des Vertannes @DMSV]

Yet the lack of publicity, excitement, anticipation & dare I say marketing from all corners of the media has been as drab & diluted as I can ever remember. Is it because it’s split between 3 hosts? No home country? Football overload?Indifference? Price of sponsorship?
So strange.

Opening day of the 2026 World Cup.
The pinnacle of football competition & the holy grail for fans & their national teams. Chasing iconic glory following a 4 year quest! For me (& admittedly I’m biased) the most feverish, eagerly awaited & greatest Global Sporting Tournament! 🏟️

Slightly embarrassing moment on Talksport just now with Maj and Pards discussing the possibility of Bowen taking sakas place for 5 mins and then a caller rang in to remind them Bowen isn’t in the squad 😂😂

What a show! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

If @FA_PGMOL had any sense they would hire this guy as a consultant and let him teach PL referees how to do their job well

🤦🏻‍♂️

God I can’t stand him why was he going on about handball ffs

Wait for the replay😂😂😂😂

[Des Vertannes @DMSV]

Brilliant show. Shame they cut it.

[BlueBriefing🎬🍿 @Uzonna7]

Bryan Cranston produced Sneaky Pete right after Breaking Bad, and honestly? Giovanni Ribisi played a better con man than Walter White ever could.

Every single episode feels like walking a tightrope over a pit of angry mobsters.

🎬🎥 Sneaky Pete 🔥♥️

[Des Vertannes @DMSV]

And yet I’m hearing they played well.

Difficult to offer credence to individuals with this stance.

[OptaJoe @OptaJoe]

24.7% - Arsenal’s possession average (24.7%) was the lowest by a team in a UEFA Champions League final on record (since 2003-04), as well as their lowest in any match under Mikel Arteta where they had 11 men on the pitch throughout. Reactive.

[Des Vertannes @DMSV]

MOTM….but according to Ally McCoist he was ‘quiet’.

Give me this type of ‘quiet’ player… every day of the week.

An absolute technical wizard. 💫
