Ganó la mejor selección del planeta en la actualidad. Y ganó con total justicia. Reconocimiento al corazón que mostró Argentina jugando con 10 hombres en el tiempo extra. Sin embargo, la diferencia futbolística estuvo ante los ojos de todo. No siempre gana el mejor equipo. Hoy eso sí sucedió. Felicidades a la Selección de España de Don Luis de la Fuente, señoras señores. Campeones del mundo con autoridad y con un dominio aplastante a lo largo del torneo. LA SEGUNDA ESTRELLA.
Los aficionados del Eskişehirspor de Turquía (cuarta división del fútbol turco) animan a su equipo con pasodobles españoles en cada partido.
Esto es increíble.
Lamentamos profundamente el fallecimiento del músico Robe Iniesta. En febrero tuvimos la ocasión de colaborar con este vídeo que une la colección del Museo del Prado y su canción "El poder del arte"
@2010MisterChip viendo unos highlights de Roberto Carlos en finales. ¿Algún otro lateral zurdo había dado dos asistencias en una final de Champions, siendo una de ellas con la mano ( saque de banda a Raúl contra el Leverkusen)? Gracias.
🖤 Ha fallecido uno de nuestros seguidores más fieles, quien siempre nos acompañó en las buenas y en las malas.
🥁 Sabemos que seguirás haciendo retumbar nuestros corazones.
Descansa en paz, Manolo.
Nuestro más sentido pésame a sus familiares y amigos.
Vamos, @RafaelNadal!
As you get ready to graduate from tennis, I’ve got a few things to share before I maybe get emotional.
Let’s start with the obvious: you beat me—a lot. More than I managed to beat you. You challenged me in ways no one else could. On clay, it felt like I was stepping into your backyard, and you made me work harder than I ever thought I could just to hold my ground. You made me reimagine my game—even going so far as to change the size of my racquet head, hoping for any edge.
I’m not a very superstitious person, but you took it to the next level. Your whole process. All those rituals. Assembling your water bottles like toy soldiers in formation, fixing your hair, adjusting your underwear... All of it with the highest intensity. Secretly, I kind of loved the whole thing. Because it was so unique—it was so you.
And you know what, Rafa, you made me enjoy the game even more.
OK, maybe not at first. After the 2004 Australian Open, I achieved the #1 ranking for the first time. I thought I was on top of the world. And I was—until two months later, when you walked on the court in Miami in your red sleeveless shirt, showing off those biceps, and you beat me convincingly. All that buzz I’d been hearing about you—about this amazing young player from Mallorca, a generational talent, probably going to win a major someday—it wasn’t just hype.
We were both at the start of our journey and it’s one we ended up taking together. Twenty years later, Rafa, I have to say: What an incredible run you’ve had. Including 14 French Opens—historic! You made Spain proud... you made the whole tennis world proud.
I keep thinking about the memories we’ve shared. Promoting the sport together. Playing that match on half-grass, half-clay. Breaking the all-time attendance record by playing in front of more than 50,000 fans in Cape Town, South Africa. Always cracking each other up. Wearing each other out on the court and then, sometimes, almost literally having to hold each other up during trophy ceremonies.
I’m still grateful you invited me to Mallorca to help launch the Rafa Nadal Academy in 2016. Actually, I kind of invited myself. I knew you were too polite to insist on me being there, but I didn’t want to miss it. You have always been a role model for kids around the world, and Mirka and I are so glad that our children have all trained at your academies. They had a blast and learned so much—like thousands of other young players. Although I always worried my kids would come home playing tennis as lefties.
And then there was London—the Laver Cup in 2022. My final match. It meant everything to me that you were there by my side—not as my rival but as my doubles partner. Sharing the court with you that night, and sharing those tears, will forever be one of the most special moments of my career.
Rafa, I know you’re focused on the last stretch of your epic career. We will talk when it’s done. For now, I just want to congratulate your family and team, who all played a massive role in your success. And I want you to know that your old friend is always cheering for you, and will be cheering just as loud for everything you do next.
Rafa that!
Best always, your fan,
Roger
Viterbo (Lacio, Italia).
Cada 5 años se cambia a la Máquina de Santa Rosa, este impresionante trono cónico que sólo se desplaza unos 300 metros. Se procesiona en honor a la patrona de Viterbo, Santa Rosa. Estas imágenes corresponden al martes 3 de septiembre de este año.
La 'Máquina' la diseñó el arquitecto Raffaele Ascenzi, tiene un peso de 5 toneladas y la portan unas 100 personas.
Buah, esto es una locura tremenda. Homenajearon a Di María antes del Argentina-Chile y por el videomarcador proyectaron una carta escrita por su hija Mía y leída por ella misma. Y todos llorando, claro
Deja lo que estés haciendo y ponte a verlo
