Wemby is our generations Lafayette. In a time of great need, a French teenager/ young adult came to America and helped lead his new adopted country to victory against tyranny (foul baiting unethical OKC bullshit)
Victor Wembanyama on the environment:
“I care a lot about it, and I feel a certain guilt about polluting so much as someone who flies 41 times a season. But I want to have an impact, and I want to counteract this negative carbon footprint through whatever impact I can, financially or socially, I want to have an impact for the future... Investing, yes, but not for profit.”

It's very easy to focus on another Italian humiliation made possible by years of under investment, some crazy managerial appointments and in the case of last night...
An incredibly rash and foolish decision by Alessandro Bastoni. As an experienced 26 year old defender... he HAS TO know better than to make that challenge, there.
But can we have a moment for Edin Džeko please?
🇧🇦40 years old, playing his 23rd season of professional football
🇧🇦Scored 20+ goals in a season 7 times
🇧🇦Scored 30+ goals in a season twice
🇧🇦6 goals in 8 games in 25/26 for a Schalke side DESPERATE to get back to the Bundesliga
For his country? 73 goals in 148 games for Bosnia, a team which is almost always the underdog.
The only active players to score more for a UEFA nation are Ronaldo, Lukaku, Lewandowski and Kane.
He scored 10 goals in qualifying for the 2014 World Cup, and once there scored against Iran to hand his nation their first ever World Cup win.
Last week, he scored against Wales in their play-off semi-final, making 2026 the 20th year he's scored for his national team.
Now this summer, he'll play at his 2nd World Cup.
The title "most underrated player in the world," is thrown around way too much. But I don't think there are many with a better claim than The Bosnian Diamond. 💎

Las calles de Sarajevo se inundan de alegría, luego de la hazaña bosnia.
Bagdad-Kinshasa-Sarajevo.
El fútbol.
