A group of Korean fans were told they couldn’t bring tequila into the stadium.
So they did the only sensible thing… drank it outside, invited a group of Mexican supporters to join them, and turned it into an impromptu party before kick-off. 😂🇰🇷🇲🇽

Two football fans are being paid $50,000 each to watch all 104 #WorldCup games from a specially built cube in Times Square, New York. Austin Franklin & Kevin Akoto were picked from 6,000 who applied. Fans are sitting outside the cube watching them watch the football...

Los aficionados de Corea del Sur no podían entrar con el tequila rumbo al estadio, así que se la empezaron a tomar entre todos y después invitaron a los mexicanos a beber también JAJAJAJAJA.
Es el mejor Mundial de la historia.

From @TheAthletic: Mexico opens the World Cup at an iconic stadium. It had the 1970 final when Pelé’s Brazil beat Italy, and the 1986 final when Maradona’s Argentina beat West Germany — the site that saw both his "Hand of God" and "Goal of the Century." nyti.ms/4vIY3dI

The amazing Estadio Azteca. What a view. A stadium steeped in history. Pele and Maradona both won World Cups here. The Hand of God goal… goal of the century… so many memories and now inside it feels really special ⚽️

Bob Beckwith was a retired FDNY firefighter on 9/11. He suited back up anyway — and ended up standing beside President Bush at Ground Zero in one of the most iconic images in American history. A regular guy. An extraordinary moment.

One of the most beautiful moments before Spain vs Peru pre-World Cup did not come from a goal, a tackle or a piece of skill. 🇪🇸 v 🇵🇪 💘
It came from kindness.
As the players walked onto the pitch, Peruvian defender Fabio Gruber noticed that the young boy with Down syndrome accompanying him was feeling cold in the stadium. Without hesitation, he removed his own jacket and gently placed it over the boy’s shoulders.
In that simple act, football showed its heart.
Moments like this are why the world loves football.
As we head towards the 2026 World Cup, may we see more of this spirit on and off the pitch.
