🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Hossam Hassan (Egypt coach): “I'm going to say what I think regardless of the consequences, this was clearly a FIXED GAME. EVERYONE SAW IT!"
"If FIFA want Argentina to win, then why do you make us come play?!"
💔 NEYMAR SAYS GOODBYE IN TEARS
🇧🇷 Brazil were eliminated from the World Cup after losing to Norway.
🥺 And the most powerful image of the match was Neymar crying after the final whistle.
🚨🗣️ Cristiano Ronaldo (joking):
“Give the microphone to that young guy standing in front of you—the one who doesn’t like me. I want to see if he’ll ask me a good question.
That one… yes, yes, you. Him. I know he doesn’t like me.” 😂
🗣️ Journalist:
“Cristiano, how are you? It’s great to speak with you. I’d like to ask: what has been the hardest part about playing in a World Cup at the age of 41?”
🇵🇹 CRISTIANO:
“The hardest part is talking to some of you—especially those who don’t like me.
And you’re one of them. I know that.” (laughs) 😂
“I never forget faces. I only need to see someone once, and their face stays in my memory.
As for playing at 41, I think it’s been a great experience because reaching this level requires sacrificing many things.
What I’ve done throughout my career is adapt to the changes that come with age, while knowing that I’m no longer the same player I used to be. But one thing hasn’t changed: I still score goals.
So I hope I score tomorrow. And if I don’t, then I hope one of my teammates does, because we need to qualify, and that’s what matters most.
What remains in the memory is qualifying, playing against a great national team, and it would be wonderful if we could beat Spain tomorrow.”

🇭🇷🎙️ **Luka Modrić shares his thoughts after Croatia's match against Portugal.**
The Croatian captain expressed his disappointment with several key refereeing decisions while praising his team's performance until the very end. 👏⚽
💬 **Luka Modrić:**
*"Some things that happened tonight are difficult to understand. We deserved much more from this match."*
🚫 **On Croatia's disallowed goal:**
🗣️ *"The referee told me Matanović touched the ball, but after watching the replays, I couldn't see clear evidence of that. If he didn't touch it, then it wasn't offside."*
❌ **On the penalty decision:**
🗣️ *"In my opinion, it wasn't a penalty. Vlašić didn't bring him down—they were both holding each other and both players fell."*
📺 **On VAR:**
🗣️ *"VAR should only intervene when there's a completely clear mistake. Sometimes it feels like it's applied differently in situations that are still open to interpretation."*
❤️ Despite the result, Modrić remained proud of his teammates:
🗣️ *"We can be proud of how we played and how we represented Croatia. This is the Croatia the world knows, respects, and admires."*
💭 **What do you think about Modrić's comments? Do you agree that VAR should only be used for clear and obvious errors? Share your thoughts below! 👇**
