The less I know the better

[COPA90 @Copa90]

In 1993 Maria and Felix, Iñaki and Nico Williams’ parents, paid people smugglers to take them from Ghana to Europe in the hope of securing a better life. Travelling across the Sahara desert, they were kicked out of their truck and had to cross the desert without food or water. Felix says he still has pain in the soles of his feet from walking across the burning sand to this day.

They walked for days before arriving in Melilla, a Spanish enclave. They were arrested on arrival for not having proper papers and were going to be sent back before a lawyer intervened. He told the parents to say they are from Liberia rather than Ghana. Liberia was at war and they could claim asylum as refugees. In Spain, the couple ended up in the Basque country where they were looked after by a priest from a local church. His name was Iñaki.

While Iñaki was a Spain U21 stalwart, and even played for the senior team, he went on to represent Ghana. Nico, his younger brother, just came off the bench for the country he calls home to set up the winner in the World Cup Final. 24 years old and he has both major trophies under his belt. Bless you, Maria and Felix, for making that journey. 🇪🇸

Spain have been a participant in two of the worst World Cup Finals this century.

Depressing watch this, ain’t it?

Bunch of “dark arts” and backwards passes.

Wayne Rooney on the half-time show:

“My favourite bit of the half time show was when it finished… I like all of them artists but I thought it was crap.” 😂😂

[Pøgba Senior @TheSaItIsHere]

Those Tuchel decisions make sense when you find out he has family in Argentina that migrated there around the 1940s

tuchel vs argentina

[Iker Casillas @IkerCasillas]

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 mete el gol y se va atrás. Planteamiento cobarde. No han salido del área y han permitido a 🇦🇷 llegar más. Sucede lo lógico.

[Umir Irfan @umirf1]

Messi's realised this.

[Luiz Alberto @_luizalbertoo]

Poderia perder o jogo de qualquer forma, mas Paul Pogba jamais aceitaria com tanta passividade a Espanha dominar o jogo no meio-campo desse jeito. Sinto falta de quando os momentos de adversidade apareciam e ele tomava o jogo pra si.

☎️ When Manchester United call, you don't think twice.

@MumbaiCityFC Much love and gratitude💙
You depart having left an indelible mark in hearts of the Mumbai City faithful.
Thank you for everything, Phurba💙

[UziMumbai @UziMumbai]

I'll never forget how he screamed during 2023 semis, how he just sat on the side after the match and took it all in. No player had ever represented the average Mumbai fan than in that moment. Thank you for everything Phurba

[Mumbai City FC @MumbaiCityFC]

Getting dogwalked by a washed Belgium after getting the president to rig the game, maybe the most embarrassing performance of this tournament

[Erling Haaland @Erling]

Football can be beautiful… 🇳🇴❤️

Bring back Sepp. A proper brown envelopesman. Make corruption classy again.

[Matty @_mjoneill67]

Absolute heroes, every one of them

[Yannick Bolasie @YannickBolasie]

All I’ll say is if this was AFCON and they let a man play after he got a red card, the nonsense being said would be crazy

[No Score Draws ✍️ (Alex & Sian - BOOK OUT NOW!) @CheapPanini]

The noise I made

[kev joon @never_oppressed]

They should write epics about this Cape Verdean team. We need movies. We need statues. We need poems. We need to teach about this team in schools.
