I can only say: well done. It’s easier to reach the top level, but much harder to stay there. Just imagine how great he is when he’s playing his 200th match for the national team."

🚨🤍 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Yan Diomande emotional letter to his late sister: "Dear Roxane, Remember when somebody bought me a fake United jersey, and I wrote Ronaldo 7 on the back with the black marker?" "We didn’t know rich or poor. We just knew happiness." "Remember 25 people sleeping in one house back in Abidjan? Mum wanted to watch her soap operas. Everyone else wanted to watch movies. Remember how I always used to fake like I was asleep and then go into the TV room after midnight? I’d put the TV on real low. Just like 2 volume bars. I’d watch football in the dark and dream." "Remember when the adults saw me playing football in the dirt and nicknamed me “Roberto Carlos” because of how hard I would shoot? And remember how I was secretly so mad about it, because CR7 was my idol?" "Remember when I went to play so far from home? I was 9 years old. Inter Foot Sud Comoé, all the way near the Ghana border. Just a little boy on his own. I don’t know if I ever told you this story, but me and the other kids used to go into the village and steal potatoes because we were so hungry. We did a “bank heist.” Two kids distracting the shop owner, and 18 other kids running out with two potatoes. They weren’t even good. But they tasted amazing. Hahahah. It’s still my favorite thing to eat. Boiled potatoes with some oil. It reminds me of those times." "Remember when I got my first real football boots, and I used to sleep with them? Growing up, I always played in those white plastic sandals. Even when I go back home now, I still play in them. It’s our tradition." "Remember when I would come back home, and you would tell my friends from the neighborhood, “Why did you stop training? Yan is not going to buy you cars. You have to keep working." "You were 10 years old, and already my agent." "Remember how we used to sit and dream about moving to France? How we were going to go shopping and get our own apartment and I was going to be a rich footballer with cars and a big house, and you wouldn’t have to worry about nothing. You were the one who always believed that I could be the next Cristiano, when everybody else laughed." "Remember when I moved to America for high school at 15, and I was so homesick? I didn’t know what anybody was saying for months. They sat me next to a French kid, and he tried to translate everything the teacher was saying. Remember when I called you, saying, “You won’t believe it, the kids here argue with teachers." "Back home, you know we wouldn’t even dare to blink at our elders." "Remember when I couldn’t believe the kids were smoking after school? You used to say it sounded like I was in an American TV show." "Remember when they took me on trial at Bournemouth? At Chelsea, Rangers, Olympiacos, Crystal Palace? Eze and Olise even came up to me after one training and said, “Yo kid, you’re really good.”" "But they still didn’t sign me." "Even the B teams in the MLS didn’t want me. I didn’t even know why. They never gave me a reason. The adults handled everything. They just kept taking me all around Europe, and everybody kept saying no." "My visa was up. My dream was over. They sent me back to Africa, and we cried together." "You were the one who never stopped believing. A few weeks later, I signed for Leganés and we cried different tears." "That was back when I used to have emotions. Now, I don’t feel anything. It’s like I’m not even human. Since you died, I’m just blank." "I don’t even think I shed a tear the day they told me that you were gone. I was just in shock." "It was a few weeks after I made my debut for Leganés. Who makes their debut at 18 against Real Madrid? It was too crazy. It was a dream." "And then it was a nightmare. Someone kept calling me from back home. I was annoyed. I didn’t understand why they kept calling me." "I picked up, and they didn’t even soften it. You know how it is back home. No emotions. Just…….. “Your sister is gone.” “What?” “She died.” “What are you talking about?” “Somebody put something in her drink at a party, and she never woke up. She is gone.” "You were 15." "15." "I never got any answers. I don’t know if I want to know why. Maybe it was jealousy. Maybe it’s just something that happens in our country. Maybe I could have protected you. I don’t know." "I try to trust God’s plan. It’s all I can do. I don’t try to forget, because I know I won’t forget. All I can do is use the pain to work harder, and to do everything we dreamed about." "I wrote this because I can’t speak about it. I wrote this because I want you to know that I will make sure that you live on. I will make sure that everybody knows your name. The whole world." "Everything I do on a football pitch, it’s for you." "So much has happened since I last saw you…… You would not even believe it. I don’t know if I believe it." "You know what’s crazy? After my debut against Madrid, I actually swapped shirts with Mbappé. Remember when we used to watch him on TV, and you’d say, “Mbappé? Yeah, he’s good. But my brother is better.” "I was wrong about one thing. I don’t want to be rich. I see what it does to people, even to family. When I was at Leganés, everything I was earning, I was sending home. It got to the point where I didn’t even want money anymore. It was just a burden. They never stopped asking. I guess they thought I was a millionaire already. I didn’t even have an apartment. I was living at the training ground in a room with no TV. Just football and sleep, football and sleep." "I didn’t want a big house. I didn’t want cars. I just wanted to put everything into football. Everything to show the world that my sister was right……." "Ha…. you will think this is funny. When I moved to play at RB Leipzig, I was always late. Well, not late. But I was on time, which in Germany means you’re very late." "So you already know what I did next. I started arriving 90 minutes early to everything. I was so early all the time that the guys started calling me “The German.”" "I always have to overdo everything. I have zero chill. You always said that." "The pitch is the only place that I feel at home anymore. It’s the place where I feel calm, and I can speak to you. I just wish you were still here so I could tell you….. We did it." "Everything you said came true." "We’re leaving for the World Cup tomorrow. For real. Your brother is going to play for Côte d'Ivoire, like Drogba, like Yaya, like Gervinho." "I don’t even look at it like a game. I look at it like a stage. This is my chance to show the whole world what you saw in me. Every time I score, I’ll make sure everybody knows your name. I’ll make sure they don’t forget you." "You always said that I could be better than Cristiano. If I see him there, I’ll tell him hello for you." "I’m going to do what you predicted, I swear. Before I even had real boots, you were telling everybody, “My brother is going to be the greatest in the world.” "I will prove that you were right, or I will die trying... Your brother, Yan." — @PlayersTribune

しめちゃん🥹

Šime Vrsaljko after Croatia's loss to England: “I don’t see any point in generalizing and drawing conclusions about what kind of national team we are after one match, one defeat. Over the years, we’ve become used to always beating the big national teams, but it’s not realistic to expect that every time. And now, after losing one match, everyone immediately turns against the team. Of course, there’s nothing positive about losing, but what matters is what happens at the end, the final outcome. Then we’ll judge, analyze, and draw conclusions. Right now, it’s too early for that. We had some gaps and mistakes that cost us goals. They made the most of their periods of really good play and created plenty of chances, while we failed to convert some of our own good moments. I’m encouraged by the performances of the younger players, who are a real asset to this national team. You’re not even aware of how important it is for such young guys to have examples around them of how to work, how to represent the national team, and how much that helps. They’re already excellent players, and I’m sure they’ll be even better in the future. Besides, there’s no drama. OK, you lost the first match, but there are still two left and there’s no reason to panic. In tournaments before, after some poorer performances, we managed to take the positives from them because that’s what pushes you forward.” [tportal]

相変わらず正直なるかさん

Luka Modrić after Croatia’s 4–2 defeat to England: “The first half of the match was quite balanced, but again we conceded a lot of cheap goals. However, we managed to come back twice. But as soon as the second half started, we conceded the third goal, and that killed us, we didn’t have the strength to come back into the match for a third time. There were good things in the first half. That third goal really knocked us down. We didn’t know how to come back, and after that they created a lot of chances, especially from set pieces, where we suffered again. But okay, we have six days to fix everything, and I’m sure we will, that it will be much better.”

Luka Modrić on the penalty: “I caught him carelessly. Yes, I touched him a little, enough for it to be a penalty, I didn’t see him. Unfortunately. It was careless. But what’s done is done, we move on. We still have two matches left, and I’m sure it will be better and that we’ll achieve the minimum objective, getting through the group stage.”

Luka Modrić on the decision to retake the penalty: “I don’t know, they say Livaković came off his line a little. Sometimes they look at every little thing, sometimes they don’t. Unfortunately, they checked it and ordered the penalty to be retaken. It’s a shame. I can’t comment because I haven’t seen whether it really should have been retaken or not.”

✋🥹🤚 With his goal at Dallas Stadium against England today, Petar Musa became the first active FC Dallas player to score in the @FIFAWorldCup.

"Što prije zatvoriti ovu utakmicu, imamo još dvije i idemo dati sve od sebe" 🔊 Dominik Livaković #WorldCup #ENGCRO #Vatreni❤️‍🔥

年齢もあるだろうけど、4月末に顔面骨折して手術して先週くらいまでフェイスカードしてたんだから途中交代は普通の判断だと思うし、むしろ下げどきを見極められずヘロヘロになるまで走らせてた過去を思うと、交代させられるようになったんだねえと感慨深いまである(なお勝敗は問わないものとする)

マジそれ

Even though Livaković conceded four goals, it could’ve been a lot worse without him. 7 saves tonight. 🧤
