🚨 Mario Balotelli on Italy failing to qualify for their third consecutive World Cup after losing to Bosnia:
“They crucified me when we got knocked out in the group stages in 2014. They told the media I was the problem with Italian football. Well, what is the excuse now? I scored our last World Cup goal almost twelve years ago, and I've been watching them fail from my sofa ever since. FIFA expanded the tournament to 48 teams — half the planet is going to North America this summer, and we still managed to lose to Bosnia. They want to cry about the system being unfair, but the truth is there is no personality left in that squad. When the penalty shootout started last night, I just saw boys shaking with fear. In 2014 it was my fault. Today, it’s just embarrassing.”
اونانا عاشق لفرينكي، سبق و مدحه كذلك باللغة الإنجليزية:
أصعب لاعب واجهته فرينكي..
أفضل المستويات التي شاهدتها مباشرة بعينيّ. لقد كان في كل مكان.. أعتقد إحصائياته حوالي 155 تمريرة و250 لمسة..كانت ارقام لم أر مثلها من قبل
و حركته بالتمويه ربما 100 مرة
🚨🎙️Arturo Vidal Warning Newcastle about their upcoming trip to Catalonia:
“Newcastle comes with their new money and their Premier League intensity, but they are walking into a cathedral that doesn't care about their spirit. At the Camp Nou, the pitch is too wide, the ball moves too fast, and the history is too heavy.
As I have always said: There are teams that come here to play, and there are teams that come here to suffer. This week, Newcastle will find out that 90 minutes in Barcelona feels like a lifetime of chasing shadows. They will suffer, because at this level, it is what it is."
When Dwight Yorke went back to Trinidad for a home visit in 1995, Brian Lara happened to be in Port of Spain for a one-day international against Australia.
Naturally, they did what they always did — they met up the night before.
It was a Friday evening and Lara tried to keep things sensible.
“I’m just coming out quickly for a drink because you’re here,” he said, “but I’ve got cricket in the morning and so I can’t stay long.”
That was the plan anyway.
According to Yorke, they were still out “partying at about 5 in the morning.”
Yorke planned to go and watch him the next day.
But when morning came, it didn’t go quite happen. The “combination of alcohol and jet lag” knocked him out and he overslept.
When he finally woke up, he said he was “completely disorientated.”
The first thought that hit him was panic.
“S***! I’m supposed to be at the cricket!”
So from his bed, he did the only thing he could — he turned on the television.
And there was Lara.
Already batting. Already “thwacking balls all over the place.”
Yorke lay there, hungover, watching a man who had been out with him until five hours earlier turn up and dominate the game.
All he could do, he said, was “lie in bed and marvel at what a genius cricketer he was.” ⚡
