🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Harry Kane 25/26 All 66 Goals this Season Ballon d'Or 🏆

Scored a hattrick btw. Best in the world.

Ce jour où Harry Kane a fait du Pirlo, du De Bruyne et du N’golo Kanté tout en claquant un but… la meilleure performance individuelle de la saison et l’une des meilleures que j’ai vues de ma vie

The Colosseum had a retractable roof, operated by a crew of sailors, almost 2000 years before any modern stadium. It was called the velarium: an enormous awning of canvas and rope that could be drawn across the open top of the arena to shade fifty thousand spectators from the Roman sun. It was so large and so complex that ordinary labourers could not manage it. The Romans brought in sailors from the imperial fleet, men who spent their lives handling rigging and sail, and stationed them at the top of the structure to extend and retract the canvas as the day moved. A building that has stood, roofless to our eyes, for centuries was in fact designed to be covered. That is the pattern with the Colosseum: almost everything about it was way more advanced than it looks today... Construction began around 72 AD under the emperor Vespasian. Once completed, it was the largest amphitheater in the Roman world: an elliptical structure of stone, concrete, and travertine, 189 meters long, rising as high as a modern fifteen story building. It could hold around 50,000 people and the staircases allowed that entire crowd to enter and leave with a speed that modern stadium designers still study. Beneath the arena floor lay the hypogeum, a hidden labyrinth of tunnels, cells, and machinery. Animals and gladiators waited there in the dark. Numerous trap doors opened in the wooden floor above them, and through hidden lifts and ramps a lion, a leopard, or an armed man could rise into the daylight as if from nowhere, in front of tens of thousands of people. The Romans knew that they had built something that would outlast them so completely that the Colosseum became, for the people who came after, a measure of the world's own endurance. In the 8th century, an epigram attributed to the Venerable Bede offered a prophecy that has never lost its allure: "As long as the Colosseum stands, so shall Rome; when the Colosseum falls, Rome shall fall; when Rome falls, so falls the world."

This is one of the most beautiful things you will ever see! Every Pentecost, firefighters from Rome's Vigili del Fuoco throw tens of thousands of petals through the oculus of the Pantheon, celebrating this 1,400-year-old tradition. x.com/i/status/20584…

Today at noon thousands of red rose petals will flutter down through the oculus of the Pantheon in Rome. This spectacular tradition is held each year on the feast of Pentecost.

LIVERPOOL LEGEND. 👏 Anfield rises to its feet for a proper farewell to Mo Salah's nine seasons with the club.

Mo Salah encourages his two daughters, Makka and Kayan, to score a goal in front of the Kop.

what a remarkable season we’ve had, dare to say one of the best i’ve watched as a bayern fan for years. still gutted that we couldn’t finish the season with the ucl trophy, but winning the double is more than enough. i will cherish these moments forever❤️

❤️🤍 Harry Kane: “This was definitely 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫. I was incredibly excited for this final. I’d heard so much about it from many players who had already experienced this final with the club. And then to score a hat-trick in a final – it’s really a very special game and a very special feeling” 🥹🏆 “I’m extremely proud of that. I loved this season at Bayern” ✨

Jürgen Klinsmann: “Había 70.000 personas, nosotros estábamos calentando seriamente. Mientras sonaba ‘Live Is Life’, Maradona empezó a hacer malabares con el balón. Dejamos de calentar, porque no había nada más que pudiéramos hacer aparte de mirarlo.” MAGIA!

The entire world knows that Kane deserves it. If somehow someone else wins the Ballon d’Or this season, it’s as big of a scam as them not awarding one to Lewy in ‘20.

الكثير من الشرف لهاري كين، الذي رفض شارة القائد لئلا يرفع كأسًا في الملعب الذي نشأ فيه

In Kruger National Park, South Africa, veteran ranger Sipho Nkosi suffered a heart attack while on solo patrol. His vehicle was found empty, and search teams began looking for him. What the park’s remote trail cameras revealed broke the hearts of everyone who saw the footage. An old bull elephant — known to rangers as “Mnumzane” (Zulu for “Sir”) — had found Sipho’s body. For three full days and nights, the elephant refused to leave. He stood guard, gently touching the ranger with his trunk, chasing away hyenas and jackals that came too close, and even covering parts of the body with branches and leaves. On the third night, the elephant was still there — visibly grieving, swaying slowly beside his fallen friend. Only when the full recovery team arrived with vehicles did Mnumzane finally step back, watching solemnly as they carried Sipho away. Park officials later confirmed that Sipho had rescued this same elephant as a calf years earlier after poachers killed his mother. The elephant had never forgotten. One colleague who viewed the footage whispered: “He didn’t come to say goodbye. He came to make sure no one disrespected his brother.” Mnumzane still visits the exact spot regularly. Rangers now leave fresh water and fruit there in honor of both.
