🌕✨ Lamine Yamal: “I thought I was going to win it that day in 2025 because of many things that happened. Looking back, I think it was very good for me that Dembélé won it”.
“Beyond helping me grow personally, I don’t think it was the right time for me to win it because I was still a kid and probably wouldn’t have appreciated what it really means to win a Ballon d’Or. Let’s see if this year is mine!”.
The incompetent @FIFAWorldCup host, USA, is failing to fulfill its responsibilities properly.
We are guests of @FIFAcom, and it is FIFA’s responsibility to ensure that visas for all members are issued.

“Ask Messi” 😭
This guy faced Messi four times in his career, lost three finals to him, and the only time he actually beat him was in 2008 a tie in which Messi completed 24 successful dribbles.
The audacity to say “ask Messi” after that is embarassing.
John Terry and Roman Abramovich have got some serious pull 😳
🗣️ "We went to Russia. Took us ages to land. We were circling around the airport, but we couldn't land.
It was the Russians, so John Terry actually phoned Abramovich from the plane and said, 'Roman, we can't land. For some reason, we are not landing, and we are going round and round in circles.'
Five minutes later, all of a sudden, we landed. I thought, 'That's influence for you.'"
