People still don’t understand how insane this is from bruno’s perspective, this was his first ever world cup goal and ronaldo was trying so hard to take it from him..
You expect bruno to be loyal and fight for someone like this?? Lol
Last night in Boston, Aymen Hussein scored for Iraq;
At 12, his father was killed by Al-Qaeda.
At 18, his brother was kidnapped by ISIS
At 20, he helped Iraq qualify for the Olympics.
At 30, his decisive goal sent Iraq to their first World Cup in 40 years.
He was detained for seven hours at O’Hare International Airport and nearly denied entry into the United States.
In his very first World Cup match, he scored against Norway.
Some stories are bigger than football!
🎙️ Fernando Palomo: “This World Cup is the beginning of the end for the World Cup.
They're squeezing the cow so much that they're going to leave it without milk. They're turning everything into a money-making machine and they're making us complicit in it, and we're also consciously coming to recognise that we're willing to do anything for a World Cup.
I believe that this type of event, the more authoritarian the governments are in the places where they're going to be held, the more beneficial it is for the event's owners, because the processes get streamlined without so many uh... without so many requirements and without so much transparency, right?"
John McGinn’s last five games: beat Liverpool, beat Man City, win the Europa league, beat Bolivia 4-0, score at the World Cup. No one has had this much fun in the last month
🚨JUST IN: Jurgen Klopp on cooling breaks:
"Football is being held hostage by executives in air-conditioned offices. These so-called 'cooling breaks' were sold to us as a shield for the players' well-being. It's nothing more than a gilded cage built for sponsors."
Messi's face when he realized he was talking to Daníel Guðjohnsen, son of his former Barcelona teammate Eiður Guðjohnsen 😂
Messi and Eiður played together and won a treble in 2009. Now, Messi is about to play in his sixth World Cup 🤯
In 2023, Indonesia were stripped of the under-20 World Cup for refusing to allow the Israeli team entry.
Fifa's justification then was the vague "due to the current circumstances".
Quite a contrast to the hardline "FIFA is not involved in host immigration processes" now.
When the U.K. Foreign Office considered denying North Koreans visas to play at the 1966 World Cup, FIFA told the FA that they would immediately relocate the tournament.
That was when FIFA still had something remotely resembling a spine.
