Yes, those photos you’ve seen are real.
More than 18 years ago, a baby named Lamine Yamal and his mom Sheila met Lionel Messi at a UNICEF fundraising photoshoot.
Today, their achievements on the pitch inspire millions. Off the pitch, both Messi and Lamine Yamal use their voices and platforms as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors to support and advocate for children around the world.
The goal? That every child survives, thrives, and fulfils their potential.
We are proud to have them on our team.

POV The Athletic, memang ada kontak kaki ke kaki & tarikan baju. Tp intensitas kontak kaya gini dinilai terlalu minim untuk dikategorikan sbg pelanggaran fatal yg kudu diintervensi VAR call back. Ditambah jarak & waktu yg cukup lama. Bahkan defend Argentina sudah balik.
Jadi PR-nya soal threshold/ambang batas keterlibatan VAR sampe mana. Karena sebelum gol Enzo, foul ke Salah ga dicek. Dimana foul tersebut memang minor. Poin threshold ini memang masih jadi subjektifitas wasit.
Dan karena The Athletic yg mengulas, narasi berat ke Argentina tidak muncul. Lebih substantif ke performa wasit karena analisnya juga eks ofisial EPL.
🚨🇦🇷🇪🇬 Rio Ferdinand: “Football Needs Fairness, Not Different Rules For Different Teams”
🗣️ “I’ve sat here and watched football for many years, both as a player and as a pundit, and what frustrates supporters the most is inconsistency.
When Argentina go down under a challenge, the whistle seems to come immediately. The officials are quick to spot the foul, quick to stop play and quick to protect them. But when Egypt are on the receiving end of similar incidents, suddenly the game is allowed to continue and everyone is told to move on.
That’s the issue people have tonight. Not the result itself, but the lack of consistency in the decision-making.
Then you look at the build-up to Enzo Fernández’s winning goal. Egypt were screaming for a foul, their players were surrounding the referee, and millions watching expected VAR to at least take a proper look at it. Instead, it felt like everyone in the VAR room had gone to sleep.
What exactly is VAR there for if not to review the biggest moments in the biggest matches?
If that incident happened against Argentina at the other end of the pitch, do you honestly believe it wouldn’t have been checked? I find that very difficult to believe. We’ve seen much softer incidents reviewed throughout this tournament.
That’s where the frustration comes from. Fans just want the same standard applied to every team.
And let’s talk about the disciplinary side of the game. Argentina seem to get away with an awful lot. There are challenges that would normally bring yellow cards, yet the referee appears reluctant to reach for his pocket. It’s almost as if officials are afraid of making decisions that might upset Argentina.
When you look at some of Argentina’s matches in this tournament, there have been several moments where opponents felt hard done by. One incident can be debated, two incidents can be debated, but eventually people start noticing a pattern.
Football cannot afford that perception. The integrity of the game depends on supporters believing that every nation is treated equally.
Whether you’re Argentina, Egypt, Brazil, France or anyone else, the laws of the game should not change depending on the badge on your shirt.
The officials tonight had a responsibility to be fair, balanced and brave. Instead, they have left millions of people questioning why some decisions are given so easily for one side while similar incidents involving the other side are ignored.
Football deserves better than that. The players deserve better than that. And the fans certainly deserve better than that.”

🚨🚨 ET MAINTENANT, HOSSAM HASSAN 🇪🇬, SÉLECTIONNEUR EGYPTIEN, CRIE AUSSI À LA CORRUPTION !!!!!!!!!! 😱😱
« Tout est question de marketing et d’argent. ILS VEULENT QUE MESSI 🇦🇷, CHAMPION DU MONDE, RESTE EN COURSE DANS LE TOURNOI. »
Dans le football, beaucoup de choses se jouent en dehors du terrain au gré des intérêts, ce qui s’est passé est injuste.
L’ÉGYPTE MÉRITAIT SA QUALIFICATION, NOUS AVONS ÉTÉ SUPÉRIEURS À L’ARGENTINE. »

🚨CONTROVERSIAL: VAR didn’t call this as a penalty OR a foul in the build up to Argentina’s 3rd goal…
…Egypt had an earlier goal ruled back for a foul in the build up
🚨 Éderson will only be the first midfield signing at Man United, at least another one has been planned.
Casemiro and Ugarte to leave so #MUFC will add one more, could be two under certain conditions.

@VideoSejarah Thn 1998, krn satu kesalahan, Prabowo dicopot dari pangkostrad sblm matahari terbenam.

Kita ternyata berjalan mundur dlm bernegara !
prabowo ini pingin sekali dikenal sebagai orator ulung, pidato berapi-api yang membakar semangat meneruskan citra soekarno, sampai ke gaya berpakaian dan kacamatanya walau gak sama persis
tapi di satu sisi dia denial dengan programnya yang dia rasa selalu benar tanpa liat aktualnya di lapangan seperti apa, marah ketika dikritik, isi pidatonya hampir sama; masih menyindir lawan politiknya, meluapkan emosi ke bawahan dan rakyatnya, kalimat2nya penuh amarah bahkan terkadang menjadi seperti anak kecil yang gak terima ketika khayalan imajinernya diganggu, gak ada kompromi untuk sekedar masukan untuknya. dia hidup di kepalanya sendiri
