BIG fan that we've held onto the remixes of Titanium that went so hard before World Cup games.

“What seemed so good maybe wasn’t so good. And what didn’t seem good maybe actually was good, but it couldn’t be seen as good because the ‘good’ was achieved by breaking the rules. So…we’ve lived through a period where sporting justice didn’t exist.”
Pochettino: nail on head
Asked about Manchester City's rule breaches, #USMNT Mauricio Pochettino said "If it’s true that the 114 rules were broken, then we lived through a period of deception."
"It’s deeply sad."

This wondergoal set up a mammoth upset in the Coupe de France 🤯
AS Cuines, a 10th-tier side playing out of a venue with no stands, beat Saint-Priest – who play SIX levels higher in the pyramid – 1-0. Pro sides join the cup in the next round; AS Cuines will be there 🪄

I think this might prove to be one of the (unintended) consequences of the World Cup. “Smaller” nations can now pitch the potential of playing in a tournament of this scale to the kinds of players they would have a hard time developing.
Si Centroamérica no pega un volantazo va a estar difícil. Las selecciones del Caribe con diáspora nacionalizada van a hacer cada vez mas diferencia. No podés jugarle con la liga local y algunos que anden en la MLS, Liga MX o si tenés suerte tercer nivel europeo.
