We're not crying, you're crying 🥹🇦🇺 Socceroos winger Awer Mabil just dropped the most special message at the World Cup.
After the squad made a viral video about where they come from, the winger - who was born in a Kenyan refugee camp - explains what makes Australia 'the best country in the world': 'Many different backgrounds. One jersey.'
This is what the Socceroos are all about.
In Refugee Week, these are beautiful words from a special footballer and person.
Thierry Henry on Cape Verde’s 40-year-old goalkeeper Vozinha after his 7 saves vs Spain national football team:
🗣️ “I have to give him real credit. At 40 years old, to produce that kind of performance at a World Cup against Spain is unbelievable.
Let’s be honest, Spain could have been two or three goals up inside the first half alone. But every time they thought they had scored, Vozinha said ‘not today’.
What impressed me wasn’t just the saves, it was the timing. Big moments, one-on-one situations, reflex stops he was always there.
At that age, most goalkeepers are thinking about slowing down, managing their career, maybe stepping aside. He looked like he was just getting started.
You could see the Spanish attackers getting frustrated. That’s when you know a goalkeeper is having a special night he’s not just saving shots, he’s breaking rhythm and confidence.
Seven saves doesn’t even tell the full story. It felt like every attack had to go through him first.
And nights like this are why people love football. Because sometimes one man decides he is not going to let history be written easily.”
Robert Pattinson was the only actor to ask to read the script for Christopher Nolan’s ‘THE ODYSSEY’ before agreeing to star in the film.
“You want to read it? Everyone else just said yes,” Nolan replied.
