Paraguay manager Gustavo Alfaro spoke about the difference he sees between kids being brought up to play football in Germany and Paraguay.

🚨🎙️| Frenkie de Jong: “I feel empty inside. We played bad. We played with a numerical disadvantage in midfield. It was really difficult with only two midfielders. I’m disappointed, but that was the coach’s plan and we did our best to follow it. They had more possession of the ball.” 🇳🇱

70% - 🇲🇦 Morocco's possession against the Netherlands was the highest by an African team in a FIFA World Cup KO match on record (since 1966). In matches with no red cards, it was also the most on record by an African team vs. a European nation. Superiority.

I feel like Americans always think in excess. The tension of the World Cup comes from the fact that it is every four years and cycles through generations of players. It’s something to wait for and build up to.

8 "Antifa" members just got a combined 450 years in federal prison. The prosecution leaned heavily on an "expert" witness who has never spent a day in government or academia - but who spent years at pro-Israel advocacy orgs: kenklippenstein.com/p/450-years-in…

Ken Paxton was impeached for taking bribes from donors. He became a multi-millionaire on a government salary. He takes lavish vacations in Iceland while Texans can’t afford the basics. Ken Paxton doesn’t serve us — he serves himself.

If they placed a chair for every Palestinian killed in Gaza by Israel, the memorial would stretch from New York to Philadelphia.

Guy gets called up after raking at Triple-A only to be played out of position and given 20 at-bats and then sent back to the minors. Yeah, most players are gonna be pissed about that

This would be a solid start

It’s hard to believe but this is a picture of the United States reflecting pool before the revolution happened. The US was once a very westernized country

I’d be shocked if you told me this 10 hours ago

Take a bow, Orlando Gill 👏

el futbolista paraguayo solo está diseñado para recuperar la pelota, una vez que lo logra se la devuelve al rival para intentar recuperarla nuevamente

Zlatan Ibrahimović was upset with the way Ronald Koeman changed tactics in their Round of 32 match vs. Morocco:

*the perfect sync doesn't exist* Gabriel and Tah:

أورلاندو خيل حارس باراجواي بدأ مسيرته كمهاجم لكن بسبب طوله 199 سم خيره مدربه "إما اللعب حارسا أو الجلوس على مقاعد البدلاء" في 2022 اضطر أورلاندو لبيع ملابسه وأحذيته وقمصانه وكل ما يملك لإعالة أسرته بسبب مرض نجله المولود حديثا. معاناة خيل المالية وصلت لتبرعه بقميصه الذي شارك به في كوبا أمريكا للشباب في 2019 لمساعدة نجله. حتى 2024 أي قبل عامين خاض أورلاندو خيل حارس باراجواي مباراتين فقط في مسيرته مع ناديه سان لورينزو الباراجوياني خيل بعمر 24 عاما آنذاك قرر الانتقال إلى سان لورينزو الأرجنتيني بحثا عن فرصة للعب مع فريقه الرديف وبعد عام ومع تألقه في 3 وديات جعل النادي يضمه بـ 500 ألف دولار مقابل 50% من عقده مع النادي الباراجوياني بعدما فشلت محاولات النادي في كيلور نافاس أو الهولندي نوبرت عقب إصابة الحارس حصل خيل على الفرصة مدفوعا بثقة ميجيل روسو المدير الفني الراحل، أبهر خيل الجميع وأصبح الأساسي. المضحك أن النادي الأرجنتيني لم يدفع راتب حارسه في آخر 3 أشهر بسبب المشاكل المالية الضخمة التي يمر بها. خلال كأس العالم وبعد الخسارة من أمريكا انتقده خوسيه لويس تشيلافيرت الحارس التاريخي للبلاد ووصفه بـ "الصامت" لعدمه تواصله مع خط الدفاع اليوم جيل منع 6 فرص وتصدى لركلتي ترجيح وفاز بجائزة رجل المباراة ضد ألمانيا

Orlando Gill’s roar after saving two penalties against Germany and sending Paraguay through to the Round of 16 carries an incredible story behind it. Just two years ago, he was playing for the reserve team of San Lorenzo in Argentina. He was an overlooked goalkeeper with little recognition, and he and his family were struggling financially. His wife later revealed that when their son, Lautaro, was born, they had almost nothing. Orlando had to sell all of his training gear, his goalkeeper boots, and even the Paraguay U-20 jersey he once proudly wore just to help cover their son’s expenses. Then everything changed. Exactly one year ago, Orlando received his first-ever call-up to the Paraguay national team. Now, in his very first World Cup, he has become his country’s hero by saving two penalties against Germany and leading Paraguay to the Round of 16 for the first time since 2010. From a man who had almost nothing to a man bringing glory to his nation on football’s biggest stage—Orlando Gil’s roar says it all. ❤️

ONE OF THE WORST PLAYS IN PROFESSIONAL SPORTS YOU WILL EVER SEE. THE #METS AND JUAN SOTO JUST ALLOWED INSIDE THE PARK LITTLE LEAGUE HOME RUN. 😳😳😳

So the Paraguay goalkeeper seems like someone you can root for

Absolute heartbreak in back-to-back World Cups for the Netherlands. Can't make this up 😢
