❤️ A Korean couple wearing Mexico shirts were spotted enjoying tacos in a restaurant in Mexico City, while a local looked on with the biggest smile on his face. He's so happy because they are happy enjoying his culture and traditions. 🇰🇷🇲🇽

How is it that the Méxican players are playing with no intensity. With a whole country behind you there has to be a sense of pride and intensity. #wakeup #worldcup #mexico

That was the worse first half I’ve seen México play. Midfield is stagnate, no vision, not making any connections. Korea’s high press making it very uncomfortable. Half time substitutions are mandatory.

🚨🗣️ Zlatan Ibrahimović on the Messi vs Ronaldo GOAT debate: “Every week, every month, every year, somebody asks me the same question.” 🗣️ “‘Zlatan, who is the GOAT? Messi or Ronaldo?’” 🗣️ “Honestly? I get tired of hearing it.” 🗣️ “Not because they aren't great players. They are.” 🗣️ “But because people talk about football as if it is a video game.” 🗣️ “One player scores a goal and suddenly he's the GOAT.” 🗣️ “The other wins a trophy and suddenly the debate is over.” 🗣️ “Football is bigger than that.” 🗣️ “Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest athletes football has ever seen.” 🗣️ “The goals. The mentality. The discipline. The longevity.” 🗣️ “Nobody can take that away from him.” 🗣️ “Over 900 career goals.” 🗣️ “League titles in different countries.” 🗣️ “Champions Leagues.” 🗣️ “Records everywhere.” 🗣️ “Cristiano created a legacy that may never be repeated.” 🗣️ “But then there is Lionel Messi.” 🗣️ “And this is where people get angry with me.” 🗣️ “Because for me, Messi is not normal.” 🗣️ “Cristiano mastered football.” 🗣️ “Messi became football.” 🗣️ “When I watch Messi, I don't see a player following the game.” 🗣️ “I see a player creating the game.” 🗣️ “The goals.” 🗣️ “The assists.” 🗣️ “The dribbling.” 🗣️ “The vision.” 🗣️ “The intelligence.” 🗣️ “The World Cup.” 🗣️ “Everything.” 🗣️ “People ask me how I compare them.” 🗣️ “Sometimes I don't understand the comparison.” 🗣️ “It's like comparing a lion to a shark.” 🗣️ “Both are killers.” 🗣️ “But they hunt differently.” 🗣️ “Cristiano is the greatest goalscorer I have ever seen.” 🗣️ “Messi is the greatest footballer I have ever seen.” 🗣️ “There is a difference.” 🗣️ “And before Ronaldo fans get angry, listen carefully.” 🗣️ “Being second to Messi is not an insult.” 🗣️ “Most players would dream of being second.” 🗣️ “Cristiano is a legend.” 🗣️ “A football icon.” 🗣️ “A player who changed history.” 🗣️ “But if you lock me in a room and force me to choose one player...” 🗣️ “One player for one match.” 🗣️ “One player for my life.” 🗣️ “One player to represent football itself.” 🗣️ “I choose Messi.” 🗣️ “Every time.” 🗣️ “Because goals can be broken.” 🗣️ “Records can be broken.” 🗣️ “Trophies can be matched.” 🗣️ “But what Messi does with a football?” 🗣️ “That cannot be taught.” 🗣️ “That cannot be trained.” 🗣️ “That is a gift from God.” 🐐🇦🇷⚽ 🗣️ “Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest players in history.” 🗣️ “Lionel Messi is history.”

Shohei Ohtani’s home run is the difference!

Classic Messi 🇦🇷 #FIFAWorldCup

Thierry Henry on Lionel Messi becoming the oldest player ever to score a World Cup hat-trick and the player with the most goals from outside the box in World Cup history: 🗣️ “I honestly don't know what more there is left to say about Lionel Messi anymore. Every time you think he has reached the top of the mountain, he somehow finds another peak that nobody else has ever climbed before.” “The oldest player to score a World Cup hat-trick. Just stop and think about that for a second. At an age when most players are retired, coaching, or sitting in television studios, Messi is still breaking records on the biggest stage in football.” “And it's not just the hat-trick that amazes me. He now has more World Cup goals from outside the box than anyone in history. That tells you everything about the level of technique, vision, and confidence we are talking about.” “These are not lucky goals. These are moments of genius. The type of goals where everyone in the stadium knows what he wants to do, but nobody can stop him from doing it anyway.” “What makes this even more incredible is that this is his sixth World Cup. Six World Cups. Different generations, different teammates, different opponents, yet the same outcome every single time Lionel Messi deciding matches.” “People always ask what makes certain players special. Well, special players break records. Legends create records. Messi is doing both at the same time while carrying the expectations of an entire nation.” “I've played against some of the greatest footballers in history, I've watched some of the greatest footballers in history, but what Messi continues to do at 38 years old simply doesn't make sense.” “This is no longer about talent. This is no longer about numbers. This is football history unfolding right before our eyes, and every single match feels like another chapter in a story that nobody thought was possible.”

Jerry Rice 🤝 Lionel Messi 🐐 X 🐐

🚨🗣️New: Thierry Henry reacts to the USA vs Paraguay stoppage for TV commercials: “I’ve spent my entire life in this beautiful game — as a player at the highest level, as a fan, and now as someone who analyses it every week — and what unfolded during that USA versus Paraguay match left me deeply frustrated. The fourth official standing there on the touchline, arm raised high, instructing the referee to hold the restart… not for any injury, not for tactical reasons, and not even primarily for player hydration in that scorching heat. No. It was because the broadcast team hadn’t finished airing all their commercials. That’s not football. That’s a television show pretending to be a World Cup match. The beautiful game is being strangled by greed. Players are out there in the heat, ready to restart, momentum building like a storm about to break — and we pause everything so the sponsors can cash in. It’s like stopping a symphony mid-crescendo because the advertisers want their jingle heard. Football didn’t conquer the world by turning into American sports with endless timeouts and ad breaks. We had rhythm, flow, emotion that flowed like a river. Now? It’s dammed up for dollars. This isn’t about hydration or player welfare anymore — it’s a slippery slope where the soul of the game is sold piece by piece. Fans deserve better. Players deserve better. The referee on that pitch looked like a puppet on strings controlled from some broadcast truck. Enough is enough. We need to protect what made this sport the greatest on Earth before it disappears completely.” The World Cup should be football’s cathedral. Instead, we’re turning it into a shopping mall with a pitch in the middle. And here’s the question nobody wants to answer: if the fourth official is waiting for commercials, then who is really running the game? FIFA? The referee? Or the broadcasters? Because the moment football starts asking advertisers for permission before asking the players, you’ve crossed a line. The World Cup is supposed to be the showcase of football. Not the showcase of who paid the most for airtime.”

Pictures that go hard.

You can see the passion and love for his Mexico leave his body with that goal 🥹❤️ Raul Jimenez, ladies and gentlemen 👏

One can only dream Raul has an epic goal like this in the World Cup but more importantly in the knockout stages.

The Estadio Azteca is ready to host its third FIFA World Cup. ❤️ One day to go. 🏟️🏆
