🇦🇷 ARGENTINA vs ALGERIA 🇩🇿 World Cup 2026 — Group J GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, MO 📅 Tue Jun 16 | ⏰ 9 PM ET / 6 PM PT 📺 FOX | Telemundo | Peacock YES! The defending champions step onto the pitch. Argentina vs Algeria — the opening match of Group J — and it's Lionel Messi's sixth World Cup. Likely his last. And this team is chasing something that hasn't happened in 64 years. THE MISSION Back-to-back World Cups. Only Italy (1934, 1938) and Brazil (1958, 1962) have pulled it off. Argentina won in 2022. Beat France on penalties in one of the greatest finals ever played. Now they have a chance to join the most exclusive club in international football. Argentina: 19th World Cup. 3 titles. Four consecutive major tournament wins. This team doesn't just win — they find ways to win. Algeria: Fifth World Cup. First since 2014 (Round of 16). Back at the big table after 12 years. And they've brought a squad deep enough to cause problems. THE ROSTERS Argentina (Scaloni): ▸ Lionel Messi — 8x Ballon d'Or. 47 career trophies. Sixth World Cup. Back-to-back MLS MVP. 100 to score tonight. ▸ Rodrigo De Paul — Started every match in 2022. The engine. The bodyguard. Still running midfield. ▸ Julián Álvarez — Four goals in Qatar. Presses like a man possessed. Locked-in starter. ▸ Emiliano Martínez — The Dibu. Penalty shootout king. Argentina's last line of defense is a wall. ▸ Cristian Romero — Made the cut despite an MCL tear. That's the kind of commitment this squad runs on. Algeria (Petkovic): ▸ Riyad Mahrez — Captain. Second World Cup. Also his last. Still the creative fulcrum at 34. ▸ Rayan Aït-Nouri — Manchester City left back. Modern, dynamic, dangerous going forward. ▸ Ramy Bensebaini — Borussia Dortmund. Physical. Reads the game at a high level. ▸ Aïssa Mandi — Most capped player in Algerian history. The veteran spine. ▸ Luca Zidane — Zinedine's son between the posts. Switched to Algeria last year. First World Cup. ▸ Shock exclusion: Ismaël Bennacer (AC Milan) didn't make the cut. ▸ Youth watch: Ibrahim Maza — 19 years old. First call-up. One to track. THE BOARD (FanDuel / DraftKings) 🥇 Argentina ML — -260 Defending champs. Heavy but fair chalk. 🤝 Draw — 360 Live dog if Algeria packs the box and counters. 🇩🇿 Algeria ML — 800 8-to-1. That's the lottery ticket. 📐 Argentina -1.5 — 115 Needs a two-goal win. Pays plus money. ⚽ Over/Under 2.5 — pick 'em Argentina's defense allowed 0 goals in three friendlies. Tougher test here. 🐐 Messi to Score — 100 Even money on the GOAT in his last World Cup opener. That's the one. Recent form: Argentina (W-W-W-W-W) — three friendlies, 10 goals, 0 conceded. Clean sheets all around. Algeria (W-W-D-W-L) — topped CAF Group G qualifying. Solid results but untested against elite opposition. GROUP J SCHEDULE ▸ Tue Jun 16: Argentina vs Algeria (KC) | Austria vs Jordan (SF) ▸ Mon Jun 22: Argentina vs Austria (Dallas) | Jordan vs Algeria (SF) ▸ Sat Jun 27: Algeria vs Austria (KC) | Jordan vs Argentina (Dallas) Top two advance. Plus eight best third-place finishers. THE CALL Argentina 2, Algeria 0. Messi finds the breakthrough in the first half — a cutback to Alvarez or a trademark free kick from the edge. Algeria compresses the middle, plays compact, but the quality gap shows in the final 25 minutes. Second goal comes in transition. Messi to Score ( 100) Argentina ML. Tonight's parlay. That's the board. That's the call. Now let's play.

Ericksen 💔

Christian Eriksen'in EURO 2020'de, Danimarka - Finlandiya maçında (12 Haziran 2021) bir anda yere yığılıp bilinçsiz kaldığı anların tamamı. (Türkçe spiker) Uzun müdahaleler sonrası Eriksen hastaneye götürülmüştü. Maç belirli bir süre durduktan sonra tekrardan başlamıştı.

BREAKING: COVID-Vaccinated Christian Eriksen COLLAPSED During Denmark vs. Ukraine Match After Sudden Cardiac Event COVID shots are STILL causing serious cardiac complications and deaths among athletes and young adults YEARS after injection. Christian Eriksen first suffered a cardiac arrest in June 2021 during Denmark’s Euro match against Finland. ~7 months later, reports stated he had recently received a COVID vaccine to comply with UK entry rules when joining Brentford. Now, nearly 4 years later, Eriksen has collapsed again during Denmark vs. Ukraine and is undergoing evaluation. SIX of our peer-reviewed studies demonstrate unequivocally that mRNA shots are EXTREMELY CARDIOTOXIC, permanently damaging the heart with lethal micro-scars.

🏆 GAME OVER 🏆 Let me tell you something right now. I been doing this a long time. I played in the league. I sat on that TNT set with Shaq and Ernie for years. And I just watched the New York Knicks win an NBA championship for the first time since 1973 🗽 Knicks 94, Spurs 90. Finals Game 5. Series 4-1. It's over. Listen here. OG Anunoby at the free throw line with 7.7 seconds left. Knicks up three. Misses the first one. Crowd holding their breath — that's still a one-possession game, San Antonio still alive. Steps back up. Swishes the second one like it's a Tuesday practice in November. 94-90. Now it's a two-possession game and the air goes out the building. Ice cold. That man got nerves of steel and a heart the size of Madison Square Garden 🗽❄️ Then Wembanyama gets the ball with 2 seconds left. Spurs down four, no timeouts, the only hope they got left is a quick three to cut it to one and pray for a miracle foul. 25-foot bomb. The whole city of San Antonio holding their breath. And he misses. Clank. OG grabs the rebound, the clock hits zero. Game over. Season over. Knicks are champions 🏆🎉 I tell you what. Wembanyama is gonna be great. He's already great. He's 7-4 doing things I couldn't do on a trampoline. But tonight belonged to New York. That city been waiting 53 years for this. 53 years. I'm 63 years old. That's almost my whole life. The Knicks fans been through it. They been through Isiah Thomas. They been through the dark years. They been through everything. And now they're on top of the world 🌍🗽 You know what I love about this Knicks team. They don't have that one super-superstar. They got a bunch of dogs. Brunson. Anunoby. Hart. They got dudes who look like they work at a car dealership during the day and then go out and lock up NBA players at night. That's a team. That's grown-man basketball 💪🔥 Spurs got a bright future. Wembanyama is special. But tonight. Tonight is about New York. About the Garden. About a city that waited half a century for a parade down the Canyon of Heroes. And they earned every second of it 🗽🏆 Knicks win the NBA Finals. I ain't never seen nothing like it. And I'm telling you right now. Y'all better enjoy this. Because in this league. Nothing is guaranteed. Ask the Clippers. They still ain't won nothing 😂 Knicks. NBA Champions. 2026. Say it loud 🗽🏆🔥

🗽 THE NEW YORK KNICKS ARE NBA CHAMPIONS. Knicks 94, Spurs 90 — Game 5, Final. First title since 1973. 53 years. Willis Reed. Walt Frazier. The Garden. They finally did it. Jalen Brunson, a second-round pick, has led the Knicks to the promised land. YES!
