Did you know? Spain are the first team since Brazil in 1958 to start two teenagers, Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsรญ, in a @FIFAWorldCup knockout match. ๐ค
The 2026 World Cup may be the last trophy Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo ever jointly compete for.
They are among the greatest players to ever kick a ball and their compelling rivalry has transcended the sport for decades. They may have barely shared a pitch in the past eight years but comparisons between the two remain constant โ and perhaps always will, whatever they do for the rest of their careers and lives.
It has been a rivalry of trophies, goals and resentment, even spawning a culture war.
This is the story of footballโs GOATs (Greatest Of All Time). We may never see this again.

@Tobs_fc He needs to learn how to shot and take more decisive risks when it comes to national team football but this brother is way way to comfortable,passing the ball around canโt be the only thing you offer your team
No rich papa and no rich mama
Sometimes I wonder why I come this life
May be na me God send to make things right
For my family with my melody
I can hear them screaming my name
