🚨 Yan Diomandé’s heartbreaking tribute to his little sister Roxane, who passed away at the age of 15. 🇨🇮 “You remember when someone bought me a fake United shirt and I wrote Ronaldo 7 on the back with a black marker? You remember when we used to sit together and dream about going to live in France? That we would go shopping, have our own apartment, that I would become a rich footballer with cars and a big house, and that you would never have to worry about anything. You were the one who always believed I would be the next Cristiano, when everyone else laughed. I had trials at Bournemouth, Chelsea, Rangers, Olympiakos, Crystal Palace... Even MLS reserve teams didn’t want me. I didn’t even know why. My visa expired. My dream ended. They sent me back to Africa and we cried together. You were the only one who never stopped believing. A few weeks later, I signed for Leganés and we cried different tears. Today, I feel nothing. It’s like I’m not even human anymore. Since you died, I’m just empty. I broke down, and they didn’t even try to soften the blow. No emotion. Just: ‘Your sister is gone.’ Someone put something in her drink at a party and she never woke up. She was gone. You were 15. 15 years old. Tomorrow, we leave for the World Cup. For real. Your brother is going to play for Ivory Coast, like Drogba, like Yaya, like Gervinho. Every time I score a goal, I will make sure the whole world knows your name. I will fulfil what you predicted, I swear. I will prove you right or die trying.” Strength and courage to him. 😢❤️ 🗞️ The Players’ Tribune

Thierry Henry was COOKING Cristiano Ronaldo for his performance against Congo: “The team needs to score, not YOU need to score..."” 😭💀

To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years. I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.

The dynamic between Henry, Zlatan, and Alexi Lalas is a WILD watch. Lalas spews awful analysis (always has) but delivers it with the confidence of a great, without the acumen Zlatan is in a world of his own confidence-wise and Henry clearly has no respect for either of the other’s opinions. No chemistry, tons of ego, 10/10

¡¡EL FÚTBOL TIENE MEJORES HISTORIAS QUE EL CINE!! ✅ En 1994, Alfie Haaland, Goran Sorloth y Erik Thorstvedt jugaron con la Selección de Noruega en una Copa del Mundo celebrada en Estados Unidos. ✅ En 2026, Erling Haaland, Alexander Sorloth y Kristian Thorstvedt jugaron con la Selección de Noruega en una Copa del Mundo celebrada en Estados Unidos. Padres e hijos representando a su país en el torneo más importante que existe. El círculo se completó, señoras y señores. FÚTBOL EN LA SANGRE.

And the media is just as fault for this. Nobody ever pushes back and says, "You didn't answer my question." It's journalism 101. Make your interviewee answer your question. So infuriating.

Y’all, not to be a huge nerd but for the reflecting pool you would need a minimum of about 8,000 liters of 12% hydrogen peroxide to reach the 50 parts per million concentration to kill algae… Is this what happens when you have 0 scientists in your administration?

L’entraînement complètement fou du défenseur sud-coréen Shin Min-ha pour travailler les duels physiques 😳🇰🇷

Each of the 8 steel petals on that roof weighs 500 tons, roughly the weight of a loaded commercial aircraft, and the whole system opens in 8 minutes. The motors running all 8 petals combined produce less power than a Honda Civic engine. Two things inspired the design: the oculus, the circular skylight at the top of Rome's Pantheon built about 1,900 years ago, and how a camera lens opens and closes. Then there's the video board. A 360-degree LED screen wraps the inside of the roof, 58 feet tall and 1,075 feet around, big enough for a helicopter to fly through the center. Stand it upright and it clears Atlanta's tallest building by 50 feet. It came in 35 trucks, was put together from 600 pieces, holds 37 million LEDs, and when it debuted in 2017 it was nearly three times larger than any screen the NFL had ever used. The stadium took 39 months to build, used 27,000 tons of structural steel, and covers 2 million square feet, about 35 NFL fields laid end to end. Final cost: $1.6 billion. Add the $200 million World Cup upgrade and the total hits $1.8 billion. In November 2017 it became the first professional sports venue in the world to earn LEED Platinum, the top level of green building certification. The 4,000 solar panels produce enough power to run 9 full NFL home games a year. A 680,000-gallon underground tank collects rainwater from the roof and redirects it to local tree programs and the stadium's cooling systems. The LED lighting uses 60% less energy than standard stadium lights. FIFA does not allow commercial brand names on tournament venues, so the building goes by Atlanta Stadium this summer. It hosts 8 matches between June 15 and July 15, closing with a semifinal.

#BREAKING: Deposing Attorney: Do you regret that people lost income to support their lives?  DOGE Bro: “No. I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit from $2 trillion to close to zero.” Deposing Attorney:  Did you reduce the federal deficit? DOGE Bro: “No, we didn’t.” Deposing Attorney: So you weren’t able to reduce the federal deficit and you still don’t regret that people lost some of their livelihood based on your actions? DOGE Bro: “No.” 🤦‍♀️
