EL GRAN GESTO DEL MUNDIAL LO HIZO ALEMANIA.

Como bien se sabe, los precios del transporte en New York se han elevado considerablemente por el Mundial. El ticket de metro ida y vuelta de Manhattan al MetLife Stadium se llevó de los 12.90 dólares a los 150 dólares.

Después de semanas de negociaciones, ese precio se rebajó a 98 dólares, lo que sigue siendo un precio carísimo si comparamos con lo que podría costar en Europa.

Ante esto, según información de Sky Sports, el equipo liderado por Joshua Kimmich ha decidido pagar autobuses para la gran parte de los 4000 aficionados que se organizan en el club de fans de Alemania y que darán el presente en el MetLife cuando jueguen contra Ecuador.

Un gesto enorme para paliar el aumento usurero del transporte.

Today, we remember Alan Turing, who died on 7 June 1954.

A mathematician, codebreaker and pioneer of modern computing, Turing's work helped shorten the Second World War and laid the foundations for technologies that shape our lives today.

For decades, his achievements went largely unrecognised, and he faced profound personal challenges because of who he was. Yet his contribution to science, innovation and society remains extraordinary.

On the anniversary of his death, we honour a man whose ideas changed the world and whose legacy continues to inspire generations of thinkers, problem-solvers and innovators.

"Don't thank me and don't say I'm a hero. I'm no hero, I was lucky, I'm here. All the heroes are dead and I'll never forget them as long as I live."

The remarkable D-Day veteran Harry Billinge MBE.

Harry sadly passed away on 5 April 2022 at the age of 96.

His generation saved the world.
Never forget 😢

When Thomas Tuchel signed with PSG in 2018, he moved into a beautiful house in the city of Paris. He and his wife hired a Filipino woman to take care of and do the household chores. This woman dedicated most of her time, even working extra hours, to serving Tuchel and his wife. She was always very professional and always available for the Tuchel family.

Over time, a stronger bond was formed, and one day, Thomas and his wife reflected on the fact that if this woman worked so hard, it was because she really needed to. One day, she told them that her son had a heart condition. They were surprised and agreed to fund an expensive operation to save their worker’s son's life. The operation was a complete success, and the boy can now enjoy a better quality of life. But that’s not all... As Tuchel saw his job threatened and his dismissal from PSG looming, he asked his worker what her greatest dream in life was.

She replied that her biggest dream was to return to the Philippines and build a house where she could retire with her family, whom she missed so much. Thomas Tuchel was dismissed by PSG and joined Chelsea, but before leaving, he did not forget his cleaning lady and offered her a villa in the Philippines where she now lives with her family. Immense RESPECT to Thomas Tuchel for this magnificent gesture.

On This Day 👑

Queen Elizabeth II was crowned at Westminster Abbey on 2 June 1953 in a historic ceremony watched by millions across the world. It was the first British coronation to be televised, marking a defining moment in both royal history and broadcasting. The event took place in the heart of London and solidified Westminster Abbey as one of the city’s most iconic royal landmarks.

Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere."

Farmer: "Where did they get it?"

Activist: "What?"

Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere."

Activist: "From... eating?"

Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it."

Activist: "The soil?"

Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from."

Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere."

Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it."

Activist: "Then just don't have the cow."

Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle."

Activist: "It's not that simple."

Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."

Bruised but not broken 😤

Dylan Groenewegen: “I’m proud of how the guys rode today. They did an incredible job again and we showed that we have the strongest lead-out in this race. Everything was lining up well.”

“Unfortunately, we had some bad luck in the final corner and that cost us our chance to really sprint for the win. That’s frustrating.”

“But we have to keep looking ahead now. We came to this Giro to fight for a stage win and that goal hasn’t changed. Even if we have to keep going all the way to Rome, we’ll keep chasing it.”

“I really don’t get why we have to try to find these complicated finishes…”

@rockets_cycling Such bad luck ! Absolutely ridiculous route to the finish , whoever thought running onto cobbles in the last 500 metres has never ridden or raced. Onwards and upwards , doing yourselves proud. 🚴🏻‍♂️💨💨
