@EzzyMUFC Chris Wood probably saw lots of Didier Drogba’s clips before the game . He was an absolute beast

While everyone was asleep, New Zealand scored the best team goal of the tournament so far

@Andxion_ He's the best

Give me one reason why Ronaldo is your GOAT 🐐

Old taker New taker

@tobyasky He played deep and it helped the team.. His experience came in handy for them.

Bro was just chesting everything last night

🇫🇷 France vs 🇸🇳 Senegal — Group I 🇮🇶 Iraq vs 🇳🇴 Norway — Group I 🇦🇷 Argentina vs 🇩🇿 Algeria — Group J 🇦🇹 Austria vs 🇯🇴 Jordan — Group J France vs Senegal — This is the match of the day for me. France have Mbappé, Griezmann, and one of the deepest squads at this tournament. But Senegal? My people, do not sleep on Senegal. Sadio Mané is still capable of world-class moments. Cheikhou Kouyaté provides experience. And the Teranga Lions have a physical intensity that makes them uncomfortable to play against for anyone. This will not be easy for France. France are favourites and they should win — but Senegal will make them earn it. Iraq vs Norway — Haaland. That is the one word you need to know going into this match. Erling Haaland at a World Cup, with a point to prove, with the world watching. Norway are not a one-man team — they have quality throughout — but when Haaland is in the mood, opposition defences simply run out of answers. Iraq will compete and they will be organised, but Norway should have enough to take three points here. Argentina vs Algeria — Now this is the one that will have the whole of South America and North Africa glued to their screens. Messi. Possibly his last World Cup. Argentina, the defending champions, walking out under maximum pressure. Algeria qualified impressively and they have dangerous individual players. But Argentina, when they are at full intensity and Messi is involved in the game, are a different level. I expect Argentina to win — but I expect Algeria to make them work for it. Austria vs Jordan — An interesting match that could have implications for Group J standings. Austria have been building as a team under their manager and they have physical quality and technical ability. Jordan will be organised and hard to break down. I lean Austria here, but Jordan are capable of causing a surprise if their defensive structure holds. The 2026 World Cup started with matched up expectations in the first few days. Yesterday was the day the underdogs took full control of the narrative. Today, the giants respond. Or they try to. Because as June 15 just proved — nothing in this tournament is guaranteed. #WorldCup2026 #WorldCupDaily #June16 #Argentina #France #Norway #Haaland #Messi #Mbappé #MatchDay6 #FIFAWorldCup #GroupI #GroupJ

Make I take una into the record books today — because amidst all the chaos of Spain's disappointing draw against Cape Verde, two of their players quietly cemented their place in World Cup history. And we cannot let that pass without discussion. First — Lamine Yamal. Yamal became the youngest European player ever to appear at two major tournaments — UEFA Euro 2024 and the 2026 FIFA World Cup — at just 18 years and 337 days old. He broke the record previously held by Jude Bellingham, who was 19 years and 145 days old when he made his first World Cup appearance in 2022. Think about what that means. This boy was born in 2007. He came off the bench against Cape Verde and was immediately Spain's most direct, most dangerous player. He changes pace. He beats defenders. He creates angles. And he is still a teenager. The ceiling on this player is — I don't even want to speculate because it will sound like hyperbole. But based on what I've seen? It's very, very high. Second — Gavi. Gavi became just the sixth player in history to appear at two different FIFA World Cup tournaments before the age of 21. The five others who achieved this? Pelé, Norman Whiteside, and three others who belong to the rarest company in football history. Pelé. PELÉ. You understand what it means to be mentioned in the same statistical breath as Pelé? The greatest footballer who ever lived. And Gavi, from Barcelona, is now on that list. For all of Spain's struggles yesterday, let nobody forget that the core of this team is built around generational talent that does not come along often. The challenge for Spain is not talent — they have more than enough of it. The challenge is structure. The challenge is getting the best out of these individual players within a team system that has clear tactical vulnerabilities against disciplined low-block opposition. And the 2026 World Cup, where "smaller" teams are arriving better prepared and more tactically sophisticated than ever, is going to test that Spain system severely. But the names in their squad — Yamal, Gavi, Pedri, Morata, Ferran Torres — this is not a team that should be going home in the group stage. If they sort their structure out, they can still make a deep run. The question is whether they have the time and the self-awareness to diagnose the problem and fix it before it is too late. Because in tournament football, there is no time for long conversations. You either adapt, or you're on a plane home. #Yamal #Gavi #Spain #WorldCup2026 #DidYouKnow #History #Pele #YoungLegends #LaRoja

Let me put some respect on New Zealand's name today. Because what happened in Los Angeles was not just a good performance — it was a history-making night for a footballing nation that often gets overlooked in global conversations. Elijah Just recorded the first brace by a New Zealand player in World Cup history. First. Ever. In World Cup history. New Zealand has been sending teams to this tournament since 1982 — and in all those years and all those matches, no All Whites player had ever scored twice in a single World Cup game. Until Elijah Just walked onto that pitch in Los Angeles and did it on the grandest stage, in their debut match of the tournament. That is the kind of record that follows a man for the rest of his life. Every time New Zealand's football story is told, Elijah Just's name will be in the chapter that matters. But he wasn't alone in making history. Chris Wood became the first New Zealand player ever to register two assists in a single World Cup match. Wood — the experienced striker, the team's talisman — dropped deeper, linked play, created space, and delivered two perfect contributions that led directly to goals. That is the kind of intelligent, selfless football that wins you points at World Cups. And the team records? They kept coming. New Zealand had 8 shots on target — their most in any World Cup match in history. For a team that many expected to defend deep and grind out a result against a physically imposing Iran side, this was a revelation. They attacked. They pressed. They believed they could score — and they were right. Michael Boxall became New Zealand's oldest World Cup player ever, at 37 years and 302 days old. Another record. Another piece of history made by a veteran who has spent his career waiting for exactly this moment. On the Iranian side, Ehsan Hajsafi became the first Iranian player in history to make 10 World Cup appearances. That is a remarkable personal milestone for a player who has been the backbone of Iranian football for over a decade. One match. One night in Los Angeles. And the history books had to be rewritten multiple times before the final whistle. This is why I always say — never sleep on the so-called "smaller" teams at a World Cup. Because on any given night, they will show you exactly what they are made of. #ElijahJust #NewZealand #WorldCup2026 #ChrisWood #Records #History #AllWhites #MichaelBoxall

@weirdlyseen @Yoruba_Global Oya, no vex . I be Idiot. Tainkyu

@Yoruba_Global @Chapello93 This one na idiot jare

How can anyone willingly subject themselves to this level of restriction and control, all in the name of religion?

@Andxion_ I love both of them, but CR7 is my GOAT.

Do you love Messi or Ronaldo?

🧤🇨🇻 Let me tell you about a man called Vozinha. His full name is Josimar José Évora Dias. He was born in Mindelo — a small port city of about 70,000 people on the island of São Vicente in Cape Verde. His father wanted to name him Valdano, after the Argentine striker Jorge Valdano of Real Madrid. But the authorities didn't allow it. So they called him Vozinha — meaning "Little Voice" in Cape Verdean Creole. The boy who was supposed to be named after a striker became a goalkeeper instead. And on June 15, 2026, that goalkeeper — now 40 years old — walked into Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta and shut out Spain. I've been watching football for a long, long time. I have seen many things. But what Vozinha did yesterday? E don enter the category of things I will be telling people about for the rest of my life. He turned professional at age 25, making his debut for an obscure local side called Batuque in 2007 — the same year Spain's Lamine Yamal was born. Let that hit you. While Lamine Yamal was taking his first steps as a baby in Spain, Vozinha was just beginning his professional career in Cape Verde. Nineteen years later, the two of them were on the same pitch — and the 40-year-old won. His career path is not the kind you read about in glossy football magazines. After brief spells in Cape Verde and Portugal, he moved to Angolan side Progresso. From there, he played for Zimbru in Moldova, Gil Vicente in Portugal, AEL Limassol in Cyprus, and AS Trenčín in Slovakia. This is a man who chased football to every corner of the earth. He didn't have the luxury of a big transfer fee or a Champions League spotlight. He just kept showing up, kept working, kept believing. He woke up on Monday as an unheralded 40-year-old goalkeeper enjoying the back end of a 19-year career. He has won a single trophy — the 2018-19 Cypriot Cup with AEL Limassol. One trophy in 19 years. And he still kept going. Then his country qualified for their first ever World Cup. And Vozinha — veteran, journeyman, 40-year-old keeper who most people outside Cape Verde had never heard of — was between the sticks. Against Spain, he made 7 saves. Six of those saves were from inside the box. Four of them were diving saves. He read the game, commanded his area, organised his defenders, and performed with the calmness of someone who has spent 19 years preparing for exactly this moment — even if he didn't know it. Vozinha became the third-oldest goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet in a men's World Cup match, after Peter Shilton (40 years, 281 days) and Dino Zoff (40 years, 130 days). He is now in the same conversation as two of the greatest goalkeepers in the history of football. Dino Zoff — who won the 1982 World Cup. Peter Shilton — England's greatest ever keeper. And now? Vozinha from Mindelo. He was named Man of the Match, and he cried when he heard the final whistle. Omo. When I saw that — when I saw this man, with his grey-flecked beard and his tired legs and his 19 years of sacrifice — when I saw him cry at that final whistle? I'm not ashamed to tell you, something moved inside me too. Because this is exactly why we love football. This game does not care about your ranking. It does not care about your budget or your history or your reputation. On any given day, in any given match, a 40-year-old goalkeeper from a tiny island nation can stand in front of the best team in Europe and say — not today. By the time it was over, Vozinha had gained over 1 million followers on social media. The world found him in 90 minutes. He deserved it. Every single one. #Vozinha #CapeVerde #WorldCup2026 #Goalkeeper #Legend #BlueSharks #MotM #JourneymanStory

I know say na here Egbon go camp 😂

The PR Cape Verde's ladies got yesterday again was out of the world. People even started posting their festival as World Cup posts. But to be candid, they are gorgeous ❤️❤️

🇪🇸❌🇨🇻 Make I tell una something. If anybody had told me before this tournament that Spain — the reigning European Champions, ranked number 2 in the entire world , would come to Atlanta, play against a country with 550,000 people ranked 67th on the planet, and go home with ZERO goals? I for laugh that person silly 😜. I for tell them "oga, go rest." But na so e happen. And I saw second of it( from my living room in Ikorodu). This was not a fluke. This was not luck. This was a PLAN. Cape Verde came into this game with a clear instruction from their coaching staff — sit deep, defend your life, and make Spain work for every single inch of that pitch. And e work. E work well well. Cape Verde set up in a solid 5-4-1 formation and they executed it like a team that had been preparing for this moment for years. Because they have been. This is Cape Verde's FIRST EVER World Cup. They qualified after decades of trying. So when they say they came here to compete — shey you believe them now? Let's talk about the numbers because the numbers tell a story that will make your head spin. Spain had 734 passes. Seven hundred and thirty-four !!!!. Cape Verde managed just 205. And in the attacking half? Spain had 593 passes to Cape Verde's 22. Twenty-two passes in the opposition half. Omo! 😲 Cape Verde practically lived in their own box the entire match. And yet — and yet — Spain could not score. Spain had 27 shots — tied for their most shots in a World Cup game without scoring since records began in 1966. Twenty-seven attempts. And the ball never crossed the line. That is not just good defending. That is organised, disciplined, tactically intelligent defending of the highest level. Now let's talk about the tactical angle because this is where it gets interesting for those of us who really love this game. Spain under their current system like to play through the lines — quick combinations, third-man runs, overloading wide areas and cutting inside. But Cape Verde's back five took away every passing lane through the middle. Every time a Spanish midfielder tried to turn and face forward, there was a white shirt in front of them. Every time a winger tried to isolate a fullback, the covering centre-back was already sliding across. It was like trying to break into a house where every window and every door has been cemented shut. And Lamine Yamal didn't even start the game. When he came on in the second half, Spain looked a bit more purposeful and direct — but by that time, Cape Verde's defenders had found their rhythm and their confidence, and Vozinha was already playing the match of his entire career. The 65-place gap between Spain (ranked 2nd) and Cape Verde (ranked 67th) is the 9th biggest ranking difference in a World Cup matchup in history. And yet the smaller team walked away with the point. Shey that doesn't tell you that rankings are just numbers on paper? The last debutant team to earn a point at the World Cup was Iceland — back in 2018 against Argentina. Cape Verde just joined that conversation. Spain now has one point from one game. They still have Uruguay and Saudi Arabia to play. But the pressure? E don land heavy on their shoulders. This draw has changed everything in Group H and every analyst worth their salt must admit — nobody saw Cape Verde coming like this. This is obviously my biggest shock of the 2026 World Cup so far. #Spain #CapeVerde #WorldCup2026 #BlueSharks #LaRoja #ShockResult #GroupH #SpainCapeVerde #FIFA2026

Na lie oooooooo😂

Group stages have never felt more wide open. #FIFAWorldCup2026 #WorldCup2026 #DrawDay #DayFive #WorldCupRecap
