Jalen Brunson:
"There's a lot of people that have a lot of negative stuff to say. There's a lot of people who have a lot of opinions. But when you prove them wrong, you really don't have to say shit to them."
🚨 A source close to Luka Doncic said the following on the Lakers front office, per @mcten
“Ever since the trade, they've always told us: 'summer of '26. We'll show you in the summer of '26.' So, we are so excited that the summer of '26 is here.”
🚨🚨| The big names are 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 on all cylinders in their first game of the World Cup:
→ 3 goals for Lionel Messi
→ 2 goals for Erling Haaland
→ 2 goals for Kylian Mbappe
→ 2 goals for Harry Kane
🚨🗣️ Zlatan Ibrahimović on Lionel Messi crying after scoring for Argentina:
“People are surprised when they see Messi in tears, but I’m not. That’s what happens when football is part of your soul.”
“Some players score goals and celebrate for the cameras. Messi scores and feels the weight of an entire nation on his shoulders.”
“He has won everything there is to win, yet the World Cup still touches him differently. That is because playing for Argentina is not a job to him, it is a responsibility.”
“The tears were not about one goal. They were about sacrifice, expectation, and years of fighting for that badge.”
“When you see that emotion, you understand why he has stayed at the top for so long. Talent can make you great, but love for the game is what keeps you there.”
“That moment reminded everyone that even legends are human.”
Messi was the best in the world at 21 years old, the best in the world at 29 years old, the best in the world at 33 years old & is probably the best in the world at 38 years old.
Lionel Scaloni sobre porque estava chorando na hora que o Messi foi substituído:
"Eu chorei porque é a última Copa do Mundo do Messi, está acabando e toda vez que eu penso nisso eu começo a chorar. É um privilégio assistir esse cara jogar." 🥺
🚨 Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly speaking facts:
"Africans can’t have their people" at the World Cup because of US travel bans.
Every other team gets their fans. But Global South teams like Senegal get blocked while the West lectures everyone about "inclusion" and "human rights".
This is the same empire that bombs, exploits, and restricts — then cries when others resist.
Football should unite people, not separate them with racist visa policies and double standards.
Stand with Koulibaly. Stand with the fans. Stand with the Global South.
No bows. Just raw truth. 💪🏿🇸🇳
