Barcelona embarrassed Rashford badly in this whole situation.
Dragging talks over a £26M deal while openly pushing for Gordon at almost three times the price tells you everything about how they value him. And this is not a rues, Barcelona will sign Antony Gordon.
No serious club treats a player that gave everything when he was there, like a second option. Rashford should honestly comeback to Manchester United and let them chase their shiny new target instead.
🚨 Rooney on Barcelona delaying on Marcus Rashford deal:
“If I’m Marcus, honestly, I’d find the whole situation disrespectful. And a little embarrassing too. Because you cannot convince me a club is almost ready to throw close to €100M at Gordon but suddenly starts calculating pennies when it comes to Rashford. That alone already tells you where their real priority is.
From the outside looking in, it doesn’t even feel like they’re trying to make him feel important. And for a player of Rashford’s level and profile, that matters. Personally, for my dignity, I don’t care how big the club is, I’d either go back to Manchester United and force my way back into the team…or move somewhere else where I’m genuinely wanted immediately.
Because imagine scoring an incredible free kick against Real Madrid and the club still doesn’t react with: ‘Yeah, pay United now before somebody else moves first.’ That should tell you everything. At some point players also need to protect their own pride.”
Ebere Eze’s tweet back in 2015 while he was playing for Millwall’s academy. A year later, he got released.
Fast forward 11 years, he’s made his dream moving to his boyhood club Arsenal and won the Premier League. He really made it. 🫡❤️
🚨🇬🇭 𝐍𝐄𝐖: FIFA has ruled out Ghanaian referee Daniel Nii Laryea from the 2026 World Cup.
The official, who handled Nigeria’s controversial AFCON semi-final clash vs Morocco, has been omitted from the final list of referees — with his performance coming under heavy scrutiny.
A costly fallout on the global stage.
Your father and mother emigrated from Canada to South Africa to take advantage of apartheid which they supported and where Elon Musk was born. Your father sought to impose unelected technocrats to run the world. Don't leave out the most important bits.
To the Atalanta family , after nearly four years, the time has come for me to say goodbye. From the moment I arrived in Bergamo, you welcomed me like one of your own and pushed me to be the best version of myself.
Together we made history. European champions, a night none of us will ever forget. Scoring a hat-trick in a European final and lifting a trophy with this club after a 61 year trophy drought will stay with me. Winning the Africa Player of the year award in 2024 as an Atalanta player will forever stay with me. Those moments, those emotions, those nights under the lights, they’re engraved in my heart.
Thank you to my teammates, the staff, the club. To the fans, your passion, your belief, your energy meant everything. From day one, you stood by me and by this team through every moment. Your passion, your voices, your belief never faded and together we achieved.
Every cheer, every banner, every away trip meant something. Thank you for making Bergamo feel like home and for giving me memories I’ll carry forever.
Grazie di tutto, ciao 💙🖤
People should stop their nonsense virtue signalling.
- Senegal walking off the pitch isn’t shameful to African football.
- What’s really shameful is cheating every team on your way to the final.
- What’s shameful is instructing your ball boys to steal the opposition goalkeeper’s towel.
- What’s shameful is throwing bananas at Nwabali.
Senegal stood their ground, and justice was done in football. Keep crying.
This is why you must always speak up against injustice.
If you keep quiet, the oppressor will just continue to oppress.
And yes, this is bigger than football.
People are saying Senegal have set African football back 10 years.
I disagree.
I think they have REVOLUTIONISED the sport.
No longer will teams just allow being victims of BLATANT corruption. They will now make a stand.
BRAVO!
Coming into this match, the complaint has been there, Cameroon were victims to this bias calls, Nigeria were victims to this bias calls and Senegal came prepared.
That was why their FA first released a statement to put pressure on CAF and when the penalty was given, they were willing to tank the match.
The Senegalese Team Came PREPARED!!!!
