Spain have a player who debuted in 2021, scored at the World Cup in 2022, won the Nations League in 2023 and has worked his way back from two major knee surgeries to make the 2026 World Cup squad. Mad to think that that player is only 21 years old.
The irony of 'analysis' is that when you are really watching good football it doesn't need explaining. There is a felt connection between players + audience that transcends strategy or intention.
It's the same connection felt in a theatre or concert hall. And it can't be faked.
I’m amazed at people who are addicted to consuming content that triggers them.
Can never be me. If the algorithm starts to move weird, I immediately start pushing the “not interested” and “show less content like this” buttons.

экшуалли эти видео неплохая иллюстрация что гомофобия это намеренное действие и каждодневный выбор постоянной ненависти разъедающей твой мозг до состояния плесени и что в результате это только усложнит твою жизнь
This is why football is brilliant.
In February 2025 Kirian Rodriguez was diagnosed with cancer for a second time.
When he announced he had relapsed he said this in his press conference
“They told me yesterday that my cancer had relapsed. I’m going to have to stop for another six months, I wanted to be the person to tell you again. I have to fight again and like the other time, since it’s been six months, I hope to see you in the 25-26. I am convinced that it will be in First Division.”
Unfortunately Las Palmas were relegated.
Kirian returned to playing in October of this season with the club in Segunda.
Today when Las Palmas needed a victory to secure a play-off spot who stepped up and scored the opener?
Kirian Rodriguez.
Huge credit to @RCDeportivo fans who applauded the goal as well knowing the symbolism, a special fanbase.
