James Rodríguez Exclusive 🎙️
In a candid interview, the Colombian star talks about the mistakes he's made and said this to his detractors:
"They are the gasoline that fuels me. What they don’t realize is that they’re actually doing me a favor.”

Turkey and Morocco have looked like the two most technically gifted teams so far.

Sometimes supportive boyfriend duties call. But you know who I’m rooting for to take the Cup 🇨🇦
From @TheAthleticFC: On a day that Canada and the United States both opened their campaigns at the World Cup, Justin Trudeau opted to watch Team USA, where his girlfriend Katy Perry was performing in the opening ceremony. nyti.ms/3QkNi1V

Scotland's first men's World Cup goal since 1998 earns them their first men's World Cup victory since 1990.
John McGinn's first-half effort was enough to secure victory over Haiti, who turned the screw but failed to find an equaliser in the second half.
Scotland are top of Group C. They face Morocco next — the round of 32 is already in sight...

This Morocco team and its future is scary
After those subs, Morocco’s midfield of Ayoub Bouaddi, Samir El Mourabet and Neil El Aynaoui have an average age of 20.6 years old… against Brazil… in the World Cup
We’re watching the present future of this team. We’ll be seeing the same midfield in the 2030 World Cup

Coming into his second World Cup, Vinicius Jr is one of the best footballers on the planet.
𝗛𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁.
After so many tests of character, this is his time to remind the world just how good he can be.
His goal for Brazil against Morocco is a strong way to start...

USMNT fans have every right to celebrate last night’s win. The country should be proud of the boys.
But Morocco is the type of top tier team you have to beat at a World Cup to be special.
And we haven’t seen the likes of France, Argentina, Netherlands or Spain yet.

This will be debated for a long time. Have to consider the opponent and the setting.
US-Portugal in 2002 was a massive upset, which adds another variable. US was the favorite last night vs Paraguay.
And not just of the Poch era. Of all time. Not close.

I am loving all the suburban American dad jokes about Pochettino
Jun 13
Solo van dos años de Pochettino viviendo en Estados Unidos y ya se parece al papá cheverón y atento de cualquier sitcom gringo de una familia de clase media de un suburbio gringo que ama a su esposa y va en las noches a tomarse unas cervezas con sus buddies

They aren’t even hiding what these hydration breaks are about. It’s 75 degrees under a roof at SoFi, the announcer says “that’s the end of the first quarter,” and then it’s straight to commercials. The game is gone.

Gustavo Alfaro, the Paraguay coach, puts defeat down to the "complexity" of the US approach. "They dominated tactically, technically and physically... they create a pentagon in midfield... they have a solution to every problem".
