Cómo olvidar a Alan, amante de la vida y del riesgo que conllevaba cubrir la Centroamérica de los 70 y 80 con rigor. Cómo olvidar al amigo que nunca perdió el sentido del humor y el cariño por México. Siempre estarás aquí Alan queridísimo. Forever here https://t.co/2YgTPzKCVb
Julia Roberts: We all feel like, “I can’t turn the news on. I don’t want to hear it.” But we have to hear it. We have to face it. But if we keep inhaling and exhaling, we will prevail.
🏆🇲🇽 Raúl Jiménez is a true fighter.
• 6 years ago, Raúl Jiménez suffered a life-threatening skull FRACTURE after a horrific collision against Arsenal.
• Doctors later told him it was a MIRACLE he survived.
• He spent around 9 months out of action recovering before making his return to football.
• When he came back, he had to wear a protective head guard/casque for the rest of his career.
• Today, he scored at the World Cup in front of his home crowd in Mexico, scoring his first WC goal… And he was in TEARS when he scored.
More than just a goal. More than just a game. ⚽️❤️
En cuanto marcó su PRIMER GOL en Copas del Mundo, Raúl Jiménez NO pudo contener las lágrimas. Y mientras sus compañeros lo abrazaban, él solo podía pensar en su padre, quien, tristemente, falleció hace unos meses. Manos y ojos apuntando hacia el cielo. El 9 de la Selección Mexicana le dedicó el GOL MÁS ESPECIAL DE SU CARRERA a la persona que siempre lo apoyó dentro y fuera de las canchas. IMPOSIBLE NO EMOCIONARSE.
¿Alguien recuerda los tiempos en que la participación de naturalizados era todo un tema?
Qué bueno que en ese entonces no se impuso la xenofobia, porque -como bien dijo Chavela Vargas- los mexicanos nacen donde se les da su regalada gana.
Raul Jimenez shouldn't be playing at the World Cup today.
He shouldn't be leading the line for Mexico, He shouldn't even be playing football... and he probably shouldn't still be alive.
But he is and after nearly losing his life in 2020, he has flourished in the Premier League and for Mexico.
@TimSpiers charts his recovery from the darkest day of his career to leading the line for his country at a joint-home World Cup.

From @TheAthleticFC: Finally, Raúl Jiménez gets his first World Cup goal! He was in tears as he pointed to the sky.
For Jiménez, today perhaps represents the pinnacle of an extraordinary journey. From a near-death experience to playing for Mexico at home. https://t.co/RAjHhGCCD3
From @TheAthletic: Mexico opens the World Cup at an iconic stadium. It had the 1970 final when Pelé’s Brazil beat Italy, and the 1986 final when Maradona’s Argentina beat West Germany — the site that saw both his "Hand of God" and "Goal of the Century." https://t.co/TyLN8ktSRx
