@TouchmineX @stones_p The commercial impact on no Messi fifa wouldn’t want to experience …

🚨𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Marcelo on Messi's tackle against Algeria on SporTV: “This is a red card, but because it's Messi there's nothing [no card]” 😳🟥

@FIFAWorldCup It’s a shame it’s so easy for teams to qualify… so low stakes

Groups I & J start to take shape 👀 #FIFAWorldCup

@BBCNews Let Harry Kane play first

@Dexerto @Spaced_Station Sounds like the adult industry would be interested in this patent

Sony has patented a controller with buttons that can change how hard or soft they are based on what happens in a game They would also trap your fingers if your character was grabbed on-screen

@FIFAWorldCup I think fair to say very different Messi…he has such composure and IQ well above 20 years ago now

🤯 Exactly 20 years apart, but the same Lionel Messi. 🗓️ 16 June 2006: Lionel Messi scores on his FIFA World Cup debut. 🗓️ 16 June 2026: Lionel Messi scores a hat-trick at the FIFA World Cup. #FIFAWorldCup

@FabrizioRomano Truly the GOAT and it is now indisputable

🌎🇦🇷 Argentina win their opening game with Lionel Messi making World Cup history! 💥 Messi hat-trick means he’s joint TOP SCORER EVER in the World Cup with 16 goals with Miro Klose. Mbappé, Müller, Ronaldo Nazario surpassed.

@theMadridZone Incredible captains

Luka Modrić x Harry Kane 🤝🔥

@footballontnt @jersiegel @GBHNews Good to see some boyish fun

@TheAthleticNBA @TheAthletic Knicks in 5 still celebrating!!

Add another crowning achievement to the New York Knicks’ triumphalism. The 2026 NBA Finals finished as the league’s most-watched championship series since Michael Jordan's last title in 1998. nyti.ms/3SckSYI

@RodriMCFC__ Great story for him 💪🏻

🚨🚨| Ayman Hussein was detained by US authorities and questioned for seven hours before the tournament. Now, he’s written his name into the history books by scoring Iraq’s 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐋𝐃 𝐂𝐔𝐏 𝐆𝐎𝐀𝐋 in 40 years. ✨🇮🇶

@FabrizioRomano Incredible talent - still a handful of world cups left for him

5️⃣7️⃣🇫🇷 Kylian Mbappé makes history reaching 57 goals for France, most ever — same as Olivier Giroud.

@theMadridZone @Pablo_Gallego__ Fair enough… he did just sign someone new 24 hours into the job

🚨 JUST IN: Ferland Mendy is NOT in Jose Mourinho's plans. His entourage is working hard to find a new destination for him. @Pablo_Gallego__
