Roy Keane on Turkey losing 2-0 to Australia national soccer team in their World Cup opener:
🗣️ “I don't want to hear excuses. Before the match, everyone was talking about Turkey as if the three points were already in the bag. Well, football doesn't care about predictions.
Australia looked like a team playing for their lives. Turkey looked like a team waiting for something to happen. That's the difference. One side competed, the other side expected.
What annoys me most is the attitude. You can forgive mistakes. You can forgive missed chances. But you cannot forgive a lack of urgency at a World Cup.
Australia won the physical battle, the mental battle, and in key moments they won the football battle too. That's embarrassing if you're Turkey because they were supposed to be the team making the statement tonight.
Some players will look at the tactics, some will blame luck, and some will point fingers elsewhere. Nonsense. Start by looking in the mirror. World Cups are not won by talent alone.
The harsh reality is this: Australia arrived believing they could win. Turkey arrived believing they should win. One mindset creates history. The other creates headlines like this.”
Victor Wembanyama (in French) says he wasn’t ready to win a ring yet and made too many mistakes:
🇫🇷: Victor, first of all, congratulations on your season and your team's season. Looking back at the series, Mitch said just before that he felt you weren't ready to win a championship and that the other team was. Do you agree with that? And what exactly do you think was missing in this series?
👽: Obviously. Obviously we weren't ready. I wasn't ready to win a ring. That's obvious. I think in terms of desire to do well, intensity and effort, we were at a good level. I was at a good level. But experience... it's mistakes. We don't lack talent, we don't lack ability, we just make too many mistakes. And I make too many mistakes.

@RajuSah89413667@TheBorisBecker Yes, there were 109 ATP titles and about 40 other titles. Arthur Ashe, Ken Rosewall, John Newcombe, Ilie Nastase, and Jan Kodes all played in 1974. That is not a weak field. The Big Three Era is when fields were exceptionally weak.
Shaquille O'Neal explains why he agreed with his ex-wife when she said she never loved him
“She didn't think she ever really loved me and my response was I wouldn't have loved me either”
“As a man I was failing. A man has three jobs with a woman. Protect, provide and love. At that point in my life, I failed her in all three areas”
“I was an asshole. I was an idiot. She was 1000% correct. I failed her as a husband, as a protector and as a provider”
“She's not my wife anymore but she gave me five beautiful children. I'll always protect her”
