All of the modern greats are at this World Cup - Messi, Mbappe, Haaland, Salah, Kane - and all of them are scoring great goals.

Except one.

🚨🗣️New: Thierry Henry reacts to the USA vs Paraguay stoppage for TV commercials:

“I’ve spent my entire life in this beautiful game — as a player at the highest level, as a fan, and now as someone who analyses it every week — and what unfolded during that USA versus Paraguay match left me deeply frustrated. The fourth official standing there on the touchline, arm raised high, instructing the referee to hold the restart… not for any injury, not for tactical reasons, and not even primarily for player hydration in that scorching heat. No. It was because the broadcast team hadn’t finished airing all their commercials. That’s not football. That’s a television show pretending to be a World Cup match.

The beautiful game is being strangled by greed. Players are out there in the heat, ready to restart, momentum building like a storm about to break — and we pause everything so the sponsors can cash in. It’s like stopping a symphony mid-crescendo because the advertisers want their jingle heard. Football didn’t conquer the world by turning into American sports with endless timeouts and ad breaks. We had rhythm, flow, emotion that flowed like a river. Now? It’s dammed up for dollars.

This isn’t about hydration or player welfare anymore — it’s a slippery slope where the soul of the game is sold piece by piece. Fans deserve better. Players deserve better. The referee on that pitch looked like a puppet on strings controlled from some broadcast truck. Enough is enough. We need to protect what made this sport the greatest on Earth before it disappears completely.”

The World Cup should be football’s cathedral. Instead, we’re turning it into a shopping mall with a pitch in the middle.

And here’s the question nobody wants to answer: if the fourth official is waiting for commercials, then who is really running the game? FIFA? The referee? Or the broadcasters?

Because the moment football starts asking advertisers for permission before asking the players, you’ve crossed a line.

The World Cup is supposed to be the showcase of football. Not the showcase of who paid the most for airtime.”

❌🌎 Three players have now been stopped or corrected for attempting to answer questions in Spanish at this World Cup.

🇲🇦 Achraf Hakimi tried to help a TV Azteca journalist by responding in Spanish, only to be immediately told otherwise. He remained calm and answered in English.

🇧🇷 Vinicius Jr. asked if a question could be put to him in Spanish because he was struggling to understand the English, but the request was refused.

🇳🇱 Frenkie de Jong was also willing to answer in Spanish when addressed in the language, yet was again instructed to respond only in English.

FIFA's rules state that you can only ask questions from the language of the two playing nations or otherwise it has to be asked or answered in English.

For a World Cup that brings together nations, cultures and languages from every corner of the globe, it seems absurd to discourage players from communicating in a language they are comfortable with.

John Wick was originally a 75-year-old hitman, with Clint Eastwood and Harrison Ford considered.

Then someone asked, “Keanu is one of the great action stars of the last 25 years… what happened to him?”
Everything changed after that.

Declaraciones de Jurgen Klopp a ZDF, sobre la reanudación del juego retrasada por el árbitro, durante el cooling break del México-Sudáfrica para que terminaran los comerciales de algunas cadenas de TV:
"Esto es el fútbol siendo tomado como rehén por ejecutivos en oficinas con aire acondicionado".

"Estos supuestos 'descansos por el calor' nos los vendieron como un escudo para el bienestar de los jugadores, una noble espada contra el calor. ¿Pero en realidad? No es más que una jaula dorada construida para patrocinadores. Cuando vi a los jugadores parados durante un descanso por calor mientras los tiempos de televisión dictaban el ritmo del partido, no pude evitar preguntarme: ¿a quién está sirviendo realmente la Copa del Mundo? ¿A los aficionados?, ¿A los jugadores?, ¿O a los anunciantes?".

"Un partido de la Copa del Mundo debería fluir como un río. En cambio, estamos construyendo presas en medio de él para que los comerciales puedan pasar. Eso es peligroso para el espíritu del juego. El fútbol alguna vez fue el evento principal, pero ahora corre el riesgo de convertirse en la música de fondo de un espectáculo publicitario. Nos dicen que estos descansos son por el bienestar de los jugadores, y por supuesto la salud de los jugadores importa. Pero cuando el juego empieza a doblar sus rodillas ante los tiempos de la televisión, la gente va a hacer preguntas. El balón se supone que es la estrella. No un descanso comercial".

"La Copa del Mundo es la catedral del fútbol. Sin embargo, a veces da la sensación de que la hemos convertido en un centro comercial donde la caja registradora recibe más respeto que el propio partido. Si este es el futuro, entonces el fútbol ya no está siendo interrumpido por los anuncios. El fútbol se está convirtiendo en la interrupción entre los anuncios".

🇯🇵 A Cruel End for Japan’s Warrior Captain

Some footballers leave their mark with tricks, headlines and highlight reels. Wataru Endo left his with honesty, courage and an unfashionable devotion to the team.

The moment he limped out of Liverpool's season at Sunderland, the fear was immediate. You watched a player who would willingly put himself in harm's way for the cause, and you wondered whether the price had finally become too high. Sadly, it has.

There's something particularly cruel about a captain being denied his final World Cup. Endo had earned that stage. He'd earned the armband. He'd earned the chance to lead his country one last time before passing the torch.

The reaction from supporters tells its own story. Not of a global superstar, but of a footballer held in genuine affection wherever he has played. People speak of a warrior, a professional, a man of character. Those aren't empty compliments. They're the tributes reserved for players who make others better, who carry responsibility without complaint and who never ask for applause.

Football increasingly celebrates the spectacular. Endo belongs to an older tradition. He wins duels, covers ground, protects teammates and accepts the hard work that allows others to shine. Every successful side needs players of his kind, even if they rarely occupy the headlines or match reports.

Japan will miss him. The game will miss him too.

A fine footballer, a respected captain and, by all accounts, a thoroughly decent man. His is a career worth saluting.
