Yesterday I learned what a Vtuber was! Turns out there’s a lot more to this than I thought 😂
We had to give @takanashikiara and the Hololive community a proper shoutout on our show for the amazing work they’re doing spreading love for the World Cup! Thank you Kiara! #KFP
Did a little 🐟 walk animation for the Saba's fan birthday project. Please check it out from the qrt -
a bunch of cute artworks and nice message for the feesh
Didier Deschamps on Lionel Messi matching Klose’s World Cup record after his hat-trick vs Algeria:
🗣️ “What Lionel Messi is doing right now is not something you analyse like normal football anymore… it is something you just witness and accept as greatness unfolding in real time.”
“As a coach, you spend days preparing for structure, for control, for balance… and then a player like him steps onto the pitch and completely bends all of that in ways you cannot fully plan for.”
“To match Miroslav Klose’s World Cup record with a hat-trick in one match, against a strong Algeria side, at this stage of his career… it is not just performance anymore, it is football history being rewritten in front of us.”
“I’ve faced top teams, top players, finals, pressure moments… but the way he creates danger from nothing, over and over again, is something that removes all comfort from an opponent.”
“You can defend perfectly for 89 minutes, stay compact, stay disciplined… and then in one second, he produces something that destroys everything you built.”
“At some point, you realise it is not about stopping him completely… it is about trying to limit the damage he is capable of doing in a single moment.”
“What makes it even more unbelievable is the mentality he does not play like someone chasing records… he plays like someone who is still hungry for more even after breaking everything.”
“I have to be honest… in football, there are great players, there are legends… and then there is Messi doing things that feel almost impossible to repeat.”
• Are you joking with Messi about the records he is breaking?
De Paul: "Yes, a little because he doesn't know most of them."
"I swear to you that he isn't chasing individual records, but he ends up achieving them all."
Thierry Henry on Lionel Messi becoming the oldest player ever to score a World Cup hat-trick and the player with the most goals from outside the box in World Cup history:
🗣️ “I honestly don't know what more there is left to say about Lionel Messi anymore. Every time you think he has reached the top of the mountain, he somehow finds another peak that nobody else has ever climbed before.”
“The oldest player to score a World Cup hat-trick. Just stop and think about that for a second. At an age when most players are retired, coaching, or sitting in television studios, Messi is still breaking records on the biggest stage in football.”
“And it's not just the hat-trick that amazes me. He now has more World Cup goals from outside the box than anyone in history. That tells you everything about the level of technique, vision, and confidence we are talking about.”
“These are not lucky goals. These are moments of genius. The type of goals where everyone in the stadium knows what he wants to do, but nobody can stop him from doing it anyway.”
“What makes this even more incredible is that this is his sixth World Cup. Six World Cups. Different generations, different teammates, different opponents, yet the same outcome every single time Lionel Messi deciding matches.”
“People always ask what makes certain players special. Well, special players break records. Legends create records. Messi is doing both at the same time while carrying the expectations of an entire nation.”
“I've played against some of the greatest footballers in history, I've watched some of the greatest footballers in history, but what Messi continues to do at 38 years old simply doesn't make sense.”
“This is no longer about talent. This is no longer about numbers. This is football history unfolding right before our eyes, and every single match feels like another chapter in a story that nobody thought was possible.”
