Jeremy Jacquet on Liverpool FC:
“I’ve seen all the cups and trophies and seen just how many there are, and I thought: ‘Wow, I really want to be part of the history of this club.’”
🪔 Circus Maximus — the newly excavated southern curve.
Not the most spectacular site in Rome compared to the Colosseum or Forum, but a quiet one worth the detour. These are the vaulted galleries that once led spectators up to their seats along the south end of the stadium — up to 250,000 people at its peak under Trajan. Brick barrel vaults, stacked one behind another, now open to the sky.
What made the visit was the timing — late afternoon light cutting through the arches at an angle, and behind it all, the Palatine palaces rising on the hill above, looking down on what was once the largest entertainment venue ever built in Rome.

Hajime Moriyasu on facing Brazil in the FIFA World Cup Round of 32 tonight:
🗣️ “Everyone keeps asking me if we're intimidated by Brazil. Why should we be? They have a great history, but history doesn't step onto the pitch tonight. We didn't travel across the world to admire their badge or take photos with their players we came here to compete, and we believe they can be beaten like any other team.”
“People still speak about Brazil as if wearing that yellow shirt automatically wins football matches. Football doesn't work like that anymore. Every game starts at 0-0, and no amount of World Cups or legendary players can score the goals needed to win tonight.”
“If my players walk into this stadium thinking Brazil are untouchable, then we've already failed before the referee blows the whistle. That's not the mentality we've built over the last few years. We respect every opponent, but we don't give anyone the privilege of being feared.”
“I've watched Brazil carefully throughout this tournament. They're a fantastic team with incredible individuals, but I also see mistakes, moments of vulnerability and areas where they can be hurt. They aren't perfect, and pretending they are would only make our job easier for them.”
“The biggest mistake people make is believing famous names decide football matches. They don't. Discipline, teamwork, courage and mentality decide them. If those qualities weren't enough, underdogs would never beat giants at the World Cup.”
“I've told my players to enjoy every second of this challenge. These are the matches that define careers and change the way the football world sees your country. If you want global respect, you don't ask for it you take it by beating the biggest teams.”
“If Brazil expect Japan to be satisfied just by sharing the pitch with them, they're in for a surprise. We didn't come here looking for compliments after a brave defeat. We came looking for victory, and we'll fight for it until the very last second.”
“Tonight, the world will either watch Brazil prove why they're one of football's greatest nations, or they'll witness Japan create another unforgettable World Cup story. Either way, we have absolutely nothing to fear and everything to gain.”
No one knows the World Cup like Enrique Macaya Márquez. The legendary Argentine journalist has covered every tournament since 1958, a record 18 World Cups.
From Sweden ’58 to Canada, the USA and Mexico in 2026, he’s seen it all. At 91, he remains one of football’s true great storytellers.

Nestled in the traditional mountain village of #Fourni in #Crete, this beautiful old doorway, framed by blooming hollyhocks, is a reminder that the island's greatest treasures are often found in its quiet villages. 🇬🇷
