🤯🇹🇷 A major scandal erupted at TRT (Turkish broadcasting the World Cup) Commentator Murat Ekrem Cimen confused the Iran & New Zealand teams and continued to provide incorrect commentary on the match for about 4 minutes. TRT issued a statement on the matter and announced that the commentator would no longer be covering the World Cup. ❌

Garrincha, a legendary Brazilian footballer, is often hailed as the greatest right winger in the sport’s history. Renowned for his creativity and dazzling dribbling skills, he starred alongside Pelé and Didí in Brazil’s World Cup triumphs of 1958 and 1962.

I've spent a while building a Leeds United archive. Still adding to it but it felt ready enough to share. Every result, player and manager back to 1920. 908 players, 100 years of fixtures. lufchistory.com #LUFC #MOT

Can understand why they would like him, given he's the greatest midfielder on the planet. Wherever he plays next season, I hope he plays lots. Not too much but lots. Same goes for his brother.

Marcelo Bielsa took over at Leeds 8 years ago and what happened in the following 3 years was truly magical. People outside of Leeds United wont ever get it and thats fine, others ignorance doesn't define our memory of that period. Nobody can ever take it away...dont listen

𝙁𝙄𝙁𝘼 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝘾𝙪𝙥 𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙫𝙚 📂 🇧🇷 𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗗𝗔𝗬 in 1958, football witnessed what French journalist Gabriel Hannot later called “the greatest three minutes in the history of football.” Brazil vs the Soviet Union, the final group match of the 1958 World Cup. Needing a victory to go through, Brazil manager Vicente Feola made a decision that would echo throughout football history and change the lives of two players forever. Throwing caution to the wind, he handed starts to a 17-year-old Pelé and Garrincha. What followed over the next three minutes will be talked about for the next 3 centuries. The Soviets had arrived in Sweden as one of the tournament favourites. Disciplined, organised, and widely regarded as one of the strongest teams in world football. Yet it took Garrincha and Pelé just 180 seconds to change all that. • After 40 seconds: Garrincha collected the kickoff, dribbled past the Soviet defence and smashed the post. Lev Yashin, arguably the greatest goalkeeper in football history, never even saw it. He only heard the metallic echo as the ball thundered off the post, as he recalled, it was still shaking seconds later. A sign of things to come. • After 55 seconds: Pelé struck the crossbar. • Then on 3 minutes, after waves of Brazil pressure Vavá finished off another devastating move from a wonderful Didi pass to make it 1-0 Brazil. Brazil’s fearless attacking football had overwhelmed them, suffocated them. The game was practically over after 3 minutes. Brazil went onto win 2-0. Brazil had finally arrived as football’s new global powerhouse. It was also the beginning of one of football’s most remarkable records: Brazil never lost a single game when Pelé and Garrincha played together.

Marcelo Bielsa refused to look at the camera for his official World Cup photo.

It must be illegal to be bad at football in Brazil

The only way to get back prime Brazil 😭

The World Cup fallout is here, revealing deep cracks between Bielsa and Radrizzani. Bielsa's dismissal marks a critical turning point, with the transfer window looming. What does this mean for the team's future? #Football #TransferWindow #LUFC #MOT

🚨 VINI JR JUST TOLD FIFA: “WE’LL PAY THE FINE — BUT NOBODY FROM US IS DOING HALF-TIME INTERVIEWS.” During Brazil’s World Cup match, Vinícius refused the mandatory tunnel interview. Reporter: “You’ll get a huge fine for this.” Vini: “We’ll pay. But nobody is coming to the mic.” This isn’t arrogance. It’s players finally saying enough to FIFA’s corporate circus. Half-time should be for tactics, water, recovery — not feeding the broadcast machine while the game gets sliced up for ads (sound familiar with those forced “welfare” breaks?). FIFA under Infantino has turned football into a product. Mandatory everything. Player focus as an afterthought. Suits in Zurich cashing in. Brazil and Vini just pushed back. Raw. Direct. No bowing to the machine. The beautiful game belongs to the players on the pitch — not boardrooms selling every second. Who else is done with this?

When Marcelo Bielsa became Leeds United manager in 2018, he asked a simple question: how long does the average supporter have to work to afford a match ticket? After learning the answer was around three hours, Bielsa gathered his players and assigned them an unusual task. Instead of training, they spent the next three hours picking up litter around the club’s training ground. The exercise wasn’t meant as punishment. Bielsa wanted his squad to understand the effort, sacrifice, and hard work that ordinary fans put in to support their team. By spending the same amount of time doing manual work, the players were reminded that every ticket purchased represents hours of labor by loyal supporters. The story became one of the most famous examples of Bielsa’s unique leadership style and his deep respect for football fans.
