Toxic people generally don’t apologize.

They just wait for enough time to pass and act like it never happened.

🎙️David Beckham defends Jeremy Doku against critics saying ‘he’ll never get that moment back’

🗣️“I’ve seen some people saying Jeremy Doku is letting his country down by leaving for the birth of his child, and I think that’s completely unfair.

Football is incredibly important, but there are moments in life that are bigger than the game. Becoming a father for the first time is one of them.

People talk a lot about family values in football until a player actually chooses his family, then suddenly it becomes a debate. Jeremy has given everything for Belgium whenever he’s pulled on that shirt. Missing a match or two to be present for the birth of his child doesn’t make him any less committed to his country.

When your career is over, medals and trophies stay in a cabinet. The memories of being there when your child enters the world stay with you forever.

Anyone criticising him should put themselves in his shoes for a moment. I think he’s making a decision that any good father would be proud of.”

The Boston Globe has dedicated a full page in today's edition to the Tartan Army 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇺🇸

The letter in Boston's largest newspaper reads: "Dear Tartan Army,

"You came for the World Cup, but gave us something more.

"For a week, you turned train stations into singalongs, Fenway into a football ground, and an ordinary June into something we'll be talking about for years.

"Boston has hosted championships, parades, and celebrations of every kind. But we've never hosted guests quite like you all.

"Thank you for the laughter, the bagpipes and the memories. The World Cup will move on. So will the songs, but we'll never forget the joy you brought to our city."

This is Maji and Daisy. Both lost their moms far too soon one in a violent storm, the other to poaching just hours after birth. When they met at the sanctuary, something clicked. Now they’re inseparable, finding safety and love in each other every single day. Pls heart them

🚨🗣️NEW: Thierry Henry on Germany 2:1 win against Ivory Coast:

“Football can be cruel, but today it was downright robbery. Ivory Coast didn’t lose because Germany were better; they lost because football doesn’t reward dominance, it rewards moments. And when that moment arrived, Adingra treated it like a hot potato. At this level, you cannot miss chances that simple. The goal was staring at him, begging to be touched, and somehow he found a way to turn gold into dust.

For most of the game, Ivory Coast had Germany chasing shadows. They controlled the rhythm, won the battles, dictated the tempo. Germany looked like passengers on a bus Ivory Coast were driving. Kessié should probably be leaving this match with two goals and the headlines, not with regrets and a defeat.

But this is where elite football separates itself. While Ivory Coast were wasting opportunities, Julian Nagelsmann was playing chess. Every substitution shifted the board. Every decision changed the momentum. Undav was magnificent, a problem Ivory Coast never solved. In fact, I was asking myself one question for 75 minutes: why is Havertz still on the pitch? The moment Nagelsmann changed things, Germany came alive.

That’s the difference. One team controlled the game, the other controlled the outcome. Ivory Coast wrote the story, Germany wrote the ending.

And football only remembers the ending.”

Emmanuel Petit on USA officially advancing to the FIFA World Cup Round of 32:

🗣️ “A lot of people underestimated the United States before this tournament started. They looked at the big football nations and completely ignored what this team was building.”

“Now look at them. They are in the Round of 32 and suddenly the same people who laughed at their chances are being forced to take them seriously.”

“What impresses me most is not the qualification itself it's the mentality. This USA team plays with confidence, intensity, and absolutely no fear of bigger names.”

“Against Australia they looked ruthless. The energy, the pressing, the speed of their attacks it felt like a team that believed it belonged on the World Cup stage.”

“People keep talking about traditional football powers, but tournaments are won by teams that peak at the right moment. Right now, the United States look dangerous.”

“If I were one of the favourites watching this tournament, I wouldn't be celebrating USA's qualification. I'd be hoping not to face them.”

“Because this is no longer a team just happy to participate. This is a team that believes it can shock the world.”

[Geronimo Morgans @GeronimoMorgans]

You've got to give Pochettino his dues, honestly. This USA side are playing some absolutely beautiful football at this World Cup. Disciplined, brave, and blistering on the counter. Their shape without the ball, their movement between the lines, the way they spring forward with intent… it's proper watchable stuff. You find yourself wanting to watch them again and again. They could go far, really far. Huge respect to the USMNT. Making a real statement.
