#2026WorldCup Final:
The widespread belief that Argentina represents Israel and Spain represents Palestine is wrong and does not reflect reality.
Spain, as a whole, does not support Palestine. This support does not exist at the team level; rather, it comes more from the individual positions of certain players (such as Lamine Yamal and Borja Iglesias).
The majority of Spanish supporters are not left-wing either. On the contrary, racist circles in Spain can use the national team as a tool against players of immigrant backgrounds. Muslim and immigrant-origin footballers in particular are frequently targeted. This reality is often overlooked because the country's prime minister has shown solidarity with Palestine.
During the tournament, racist circles in Spain repeatedly targeted Lamine Yamal through social media posts and public statements.
The perception of Spain as an extremely left-wing country among the global public is largely influenced by the strong Palestine solidarity movements and left-wing communities in regions such as Euskal Herria, Catalonia, Galicia, and Andalusia. However, a significant portion of the pro-Palestinian population in these regions does not support the Spanish National Team; they advocate for their own national identities and national teams.
Argentina, too, does not support Israel institutionally or at the national team level.
The country's far-right president, Javier Milei, is an open supporter of Israel. zionist circles use this fact to create the impression that there is some deep-rooted and societal alliance between Argentina and Israel.
In reality, there is no strong public support in Argentina for Israel's attacks on Gaza. On the contrary, massive demonstrations in solidarity with Palestine have taken place across the country.
Lionel Messi is not an open supporter of Israel either. When this is pointed out, people usually ask, “So does he support Palestine?” No. Messi is not one of the figures who has publicly taken a side on this issue. Like thousands of other footballers, he prefers not to share his political views publicly.
The claim that Argentine society is largely racist, as well as the claim that the vast majority of Argentinians support Israel, are both generalizations produced on social media. These are narratives that far-right groups and zionist circles would like to spread. We should not fall into this trap.
🚨🇫🇷🗣 Patrice Evra reveals the difference between Sir Alex Ferguson and modern managers:
“During nine years, Ferguson never told me anything tactical like ‘go left’, ‘close the right’, or things like that.
José Mourinho will probably talk more about tactics than Ferguson, but I don’t understand how Ferguson was so successful with that style of management.
He knew how to bring the best out of people.
We played with fear. I was never scared of Sir Alex Ferguson, but I was always scared of disappointing him.
When Arsène Wenger was losing at half-time, he would say: ‘Come on my friend, we can do better than that.’
Ferguson was different. He was like: ‘Stop playing with my money, man. You don’t want me to end your contract, do you?’
I always tell people, if Ferguson was coaching today, he would probably end up in jail.” 😅
Since 2018, Kylian Mbappé has not kept any of the money he has earned from playing for the France national team.
He has donated all of his match fees and bonuses from the national team to charities supporting hospitalised children and families facing financial hardship.
🚨🎙️ Eric Cantona on INEOS’ transfer strategy:
🗣️ “The British media must be fuming.
INEOS barely feed them anything these days.
Nobody seems to know who Manchester United are signing anymore.
Andrey Santos came out of nowhere and the deal was done within hours.
Youri Tielemans came out of nowhere and the deal was done within hours.
Karl Dalow… exactly the same.
No endless transfer leaks.
No daily briefings.
Just quiet negotiations and then… ‘Here we go.’
That’s how a proper football club should operate.” 🔥
masih kepikiran sama mesir :(
fifa nih f-nya zionist, bisa2nya ngebiarin supporter argentina ngibarin bendera israel, ngebully lawannya secara verbal dan fisik pula. ga ada teguran apalagi denda. sakit
🚨 Bruno & Co. Go Missing, But Ronaldo Takes All the Blame Portugal’s Sad Reality:
🗣Roy Keane
“Truth be told, Ronaldo is rarely the problem in this Portugal team.
If you watched the game closely, you could see how Bruno Fernandes was playing. It looked like he (and others) were almost expecting another comfortable run as they had against Spain. That complacency was disappointing.
Portugal have experienced, high-quality midfielders who light it up week in, week out for their clubs. Yet when they pull on the national shirt, that same intensity and purpose often disappears. Instead of making incisive passes to create clear chances, they opt for safe, sideways possession. But the moment they conceded a goal, suddenly the long balls and urgency appeared, the very things they hadn’t been willing to try earlier. That contrast was painful to watch.
In the end, as usual, all the blame and hate will fall on Ronaldo. It’s unfair. Sometimes it feels like he chose the wrong country to represent, because no matter how well he performs or how much he carries the team, the criticism always lands heaviest on him.”
Dikasih generasi emas Belgia, disia-siakan. Dikasih skuad mewah Portugal, malah lanjut part 2.
Roberto Martínez rasanya bakal dikenang sebagai pelatih yang dapet bahan makanan premium tapi hasil masakannya hambar.
Dari Euro sampai Piala Dunia, mainnya gak pernah meyakinkan. Kaya gak tahu cara maksimalin pemain bintang.
Alex Ferguson on His Emotional Conversation with Cristiano Ronaldo After Portugal’s 2026 World Cup Exit
“I spoke to Cristiano last night, and it was one of the hardest conversations we’ve ever had. You could hear the pain in his voice. You could feel the heartbreak. This wasn’t a man angry about losing a football match it was a man devastated that he couldn’t give his country one more unforgettable memory. That kind of pain stays with you.”
“I told him to lift his head because no amount of criticism can erase a lifetime of greatness. The world is very quick to forget. One bad night and suddenly people act as if everything that came before means nothing. That’s cruel, and it’s completely unfair. Legends deserve respect, especially in their darkest moments.”
“Cristiano has carried the hopes, dreams and expectations of an entire nation for almost twenty years. He has played through injuries, pressure, criticism and impossible expectations because of the love he has for Portugal. People see the goals and the trophies they don’t see the sacrifices, the sleepless nights or the emotional burden he has carried for his country.”
“He told me how much this defeat hurt him. You could hear the disappointment in every word. When a player has given absolutely everything, losing feels unbearable. That’s why the tears come. That’s why the silence hurts. Champions don’t cry because they’re weak they cry because they care more than anyone else.”
“I reminded him that before his generation, Portugal had never experienced nights like EURO 2016 or the Nations League triumphs. He helped change the history of Portuguese football forever. He gave millions of Portuguese supporters memories they thought they would never live to see. No painful World Cup exit can ever erase that legacy.”
“What disappoints me most is how quickly some people turn against the very players who gave them their greatest football memories. It’s easy to celebrate a hero when he’s lifting trophies. The real test is whether you stand beside him when his heart is broken. Cristiano deserves gratitude, not people trying to tear down everything he built.”
“When football looks back on Cristiano Ronaldo, history won’t remember one heartbreaking defeat. It will remember a captain who refused to stop believing, a leader who inspired generations, and a man who gave every ounce of himself every single time he wore the Portugal shirt. His legacy wasn’t destroyed that night it became even more human. And sometimes, that’s what makes a legend truly immortal.”
🇵🇹 Sebelum Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal belum pernah memenangkan trofi mayor. Bersama generasi emasnya, mereka kini punya 3 gelar.
🇦🇷 Argentina sudah lebih dulu menjadi negara besar sepak bola dengan 18 trofi mayor sebelum Lionel Messi datang. Di era Messi, koleksi itu bertambah menjadi 22.
Dua legenda, dua titik awal yang sangat berbeda. 🇵🇹🇦🇷

🚨🎙️Toni Kroos on Portugal's national team:
"First of all, congratulations to Portugal. If the objective was to move on from Cristiano Ronaldo, then you've achieved it."
"For years, people kept saying Cristiano was the reason Portugal struggled. Others claimed the team would be better without him and that there was no difference between Portugal with or without Cristiano. Fine—now the pressure is on them to prove it."
"From this moment, people will judge this team by what they achieve after Cristiano. If they truly believed he was holding them back, then they must go on to win the next European Championship and compete seriously for the next World Cups. That's how football works—you have to back up your words with results."
"We all know Portugal's history before Cristiano Ronaldo, and we all know what he helped the national team achieve during his era. He played a huge role in changing the mentality of Portuguese football and helped deliver the biggest trophies in the country's history."
"What disappointed me wasn't the result—it was the attitude. Throughout the tournament, it often looked like the unity and fight that made this team successful in the past just wasn't there. Everyone watching could see that."
"Now there's no more debate about Cristiano. The spotlight is fully on this generation of players. They'll be judged by what they win from here on, not by what they say. Football always remembers trophies, not excuses."
🇵🇹 Portugal v. Spanyol 🇪🇸
Match-nya masih nanti malem, tapi skrg udah agak deg-degan
Gue pasrahkan aja lah, antara Portugal yg menang atau Spanyol yg kalah. Dah itu aja
