Society often speaks in the language of fairness, yet practices the art of selection...... Judging loudly in public, while choosing its silence and its mercy behind closed doors. In such a world, truth is not always what is seen, but what is conveniently overlooked.

@DAZNFootball American sports influence is spreading fast. Next thing you know we’ll have championship parades at Disney 😭

FIFA will award rings to the winners of the 2026 World Cup for the very first time. 💍 This tradition is usually associated with American sports like the NFL and NBA 🇺🇸

@Footballtweet That’s the kind of stat Ronaldo fans scroll past very quickly 😭

🚨 This might be the most brutal stat in the GOAT debate: 👉 Leo Messi completed 9 dribbles against England. That is more than Cristiano Ronaldo managed across his last four World Cups, where he completed just 8. 😭

@Squawka At 39, he’s not keeping up with the kids… the kids are trying to keep up with him 🐐

Lionel Messi at the 2026 World Cup: ◉ Highest xA (4.1) ◉ Most shots (34) ◉ Most chances created (25) ◉ Most take-ons completed (25) ◉ Most accurate crosses (19)  ◉= Most through balls (15)  ◉ Most goal involvements (12) ◉ Most big chances created (8)  ◉= Most goals (8)  He's also won the second most duels (52), had the second most shots on target (18), won the second most fouls (16) and provided the second most assists (4).  All at the age of 39. 🤯

@Footballtweet They said age catches everyone. Messi clearly didn’t get the memo

🚨 39-year old Leo Messi is now the bookmakers' clear favourite to win the 2026 Ballon d'Or! 😍🇦🇷 🥇 40% — Lionel Messi 🇦🇷 🥈 30% — Lamine Yamal 🇪🇸 🥉 16% — Harry Kane 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 4️⃣ 13% — Rodri 🇪🇸 5️⃣ 2% — Ousmane Dembélé 🇫🇷 6️⃣ 1% — Kylian Mbappé 🇫🇷 If Argentina win the World Cup, Messi will claim his 9th Ballon d'Or. 😍

@TouchlineX You don’t sack a coach every time you fall short. That’s how you stay stuck.

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Thomas Tuchel is expected to remain as England manager despite the World Cup semi-final exit to Argentina. The FA reportedly had clauses in his contract that could have led to an early exit if England had been eliminated before the quarter-finals, but those were never triggered. Tuchel is now expected to continue until at least Euro 2028. — @TheAthleticFC

@centregoals Can’t blame him. FIFA’s scriptwriters have been cooking 😂😭

🚨🚨🎙️| New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani: “I thought until now that the image of Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal was AI.”

@premierleague @I_am_kay1 Fair enough… if you’re going home, go home with Messi’s shirt.

Djed Spence got Lionel Messi's shirt after England's World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina 🤝👕

@TouchlineX The final is basically El Clásico with international passports 😂

🚨 𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪: 24 La Liga players will be featured at the World Cup final. The Premier League comes a bit close, with 13 players featured.

@TouchlineX Meanwhile, the “finished at 35” crowd has gone strangely quiet.

🚨🇦🇷 𝗖𝗥𝗔𝗭𝗬 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧: Lionel Messi has now scored or assisted in 11 consecutive World Cup games. The LONGEST ever goal-contribution run by any player since 1966.

@TouchlineX Respect. Playing through a fractured back at a World Cup is warrior mentality 👏

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: William Saliba played at the World Cup despite suffering from a fracture in his back. The Arsenal defender picked up the injury in a Premier League match two months before the tournament and required painkillers and daily treatment throughout France’s campaign. He was unable to complete every training session and was eventually forced off after 30 minutes against Spain when his back gave way. His recovery time is still unknown, and it remains unclear whether he will need surgery. — @RMCsport

@chysom97021 🙏

May alg0rithm favour us today 🥹🤲

@TouchlineX If “regardless” was a trophy, Kane would’ve won that too.

🚨 Bayern Munich fans believe Harry Kane should win the Ballon d'Or regardless of Messi or Lamine Yamal winning the World Cup. Harry Kane scored 64 goals in 56 matches for Bayern this season. He almost surpassed Gerd Müller's club record of 67 goals in 1972/73 and had the most goals for club since Messi's 73 goals for Barcelona in 2011/12.

@Blue_Footy Scholes basically said England parked the bus… without a driver 😭

Paul Scholes explains Tuchel’s mistake against Argentina: 🗣 "He played players who don't really control games of football. The players that we had that control games of football didn't weren't on the football pitch. Kobbie Mainoo brilliant at it for Man United. Cole Palmer, Phil Foden. These are players that control games of football. And we've just mentioned Spain there. When Spain went one nil up, they didn't give France a kick of the ball. We were totally, totally the opposite. But that's the squad he picked. The squad was a strange squad to pick. When I say he didn't pick his best footballers, what we thought he thought was his best footballers. Kobbie Mainoo, Eze, Morgan Rogers, possibly. Yeah. Morgan Rogers, that was his first start last night. Yeah. So I don't really know what you expect from that performance." ~ @goodbadftblpod

Birthday blessings grand ma My biggest motivation Thanks for everything ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This picture is funny 😂

@OneFootball They were 35 minutes away from becoming trivia… then Messi happened 🐐

There are just FOUR nations in world football that Lionel Messi has played against but has NEVER beaten 🤯 England almost joined that list but it wasn't to be for the Three Lions...💔 *Messi has beaten the Netherlands on penalties, however FIFA records a game that goes to penalties after extra-time as a draw 🤝

@OneFootball The greatest stories are never rushed. They unfold exactly when the world thinks they’re over

Lionel Messi is the clear favourite for the 2026 Ballon d'Or, according to Polymarket 👀📊

@Tunde_Blakcfc Good morning

Good morning friends of Blacko 💙
