No canta, no baila, no se mueve ni un centímetro. Lumumba Vea llegó a Guadalajara para apoyar a la RD Congo y permanecerá inmóvil durante 90 minutos. Algunas formas de amar a un país no hacen ruido.

This is really lovely from Norway’s coach, Ståle Solbakken. After the win, he ran to the stands to kiss and hug his wife. Guys please watch Norway’s documentary on Netflix, I watched it few days ago. This guy literally retired as a footballer after dying for 7mins. Yes, his heart stopped beating. In the documentary, they narrated how he left his wife at home, dropped his kid at school, and went to training. He was playing for Copenhagen then. During training, he collapsed and that was it. The club doctor saved his life with some cardiac massage before ambulance showed up. The club sent some people to his house to tell his wife, she couldn’t believe her ears. Imagine your husband leaving the house few moments ago, and you hear a knock on your door that your husband just collapsed, she was devastated. I think till date, he still has something connected to his heart, maybe a pacemaker or something like that. After this incident, he retired from football at 33. The headache of qualifying Norway to the World Cup after 28 years and a major tournament after 26 years is also a lot, especially when you think of Scotland breaking his heart in the last minute that prevented them from going to the last Euros. Please watch the documentary, you can understand what this win means to him. Image: ESPN

🏠❤️ ¡CURAZAO ROMPE LOS ESQUEMAS DEL MUNDIAL! Mientras muchas selecciones aíslan a sus futbolistas durante la Copa del Mundo, Curazao 🇨🇼 decidió apostar por algo diferente: la salud mental de sus jugadores. La selección caribeña es la ÚNICA del torneo que permite que sus futbolistas compartan habitación con sus parejas y convivan diariamente con sus familias. Además, la Federación financió el traslado completo de los familiares para acompañar al plantel durante toda la competición. “Los jugadores pueden compartir una habitación con su pareja y, cuando hay niños, la familia dispone de una habitación adicional. Es bastante único en el fútbol internacional”, explicó Suzanne Huurman, responsable médica del equipo. La doctora agregó que esta decisión refleja la esencia del pueblo curazoleño: una sociedad cálida, alegre y profundamente unida a la familia. En un Mundial donde la presión puede ser enorme, Curazao eligió que sus futbolistas no se sintieran solos 🇨🇼❤️

Qué bestia es Valdano. Qué habilidad para leer el fútbol dentro y fuera del fútbol.

The Norwegian team and fans doing the Row are just beautiful.

this quote is awesome by cape verde coach- "This is something we owe to other smaller national teams, teams that struggled to qualify for a world tournament. We're also here to show that a country may be small, may struggle financially, but if they are resilient, if they can endure struggle, they can also stand shoulder to shoulder with other major teams and with players who are on another level."

De niño escribió “Ronaldo 7” con marcador en una playera pirata del United. Durmió con decenas de personas en una misma casa, pasó hambre, fue rechazado por clubes de toda Europa y estuvo cerca de abandonar su sueño. Yan Diomande, jugador de Costa de Marfil, se merece cada minuto que está jugando en este Mundial. Historias así le dan sentido al fútbol.

💔⚽️ LA HISTORIA QUE CONMUEVE AL MUNDIAL Donny Strathie, un apasionado hincha escocés de 76 años, cumplió el sueño de su vida: viajar a Estados Unidos para volver a ver a Escocia en una Copa del Mundo después de 28 años de ausencia. Alcanzó a vivir una alegría inolvidable en Boston, donde presenció la victoria 1-0 de su selección ante Haití. Pero días después, falleció repentinamente por causas naturales en su hotel. La noticia golpeó a toda Escocia. Incluso el seleccionador Steve Clarke envió sus condolencias a la familia. Y entonces llegó el homenaje más emotivo. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 En el partido siguiente, cuando el reloj marcó el minuto 76 (La edad de Donny) todo el estadio se puso de pie para dedicarle una ovación que puso la piel de gallina. Entre aplausos, cánticos y el sonido de las gaitas, la Tartan Army se aseguró de que uno de los suyos siguiera presente. Porque hay historias que recuerdan que el fútbol es mucho más que un juego 🥹💙

Riyad Mahrez on Lionel Messi meeting his daughter after Argentina vs Algeria: 🗣️ “After the match, I went over to Leo Messi with my daughter because meeting him had been one of her biggest dreams for years. She has watched his highlights, worn his shirts, talked about his goals, and imagined this moment so many times.” “As a father, there are moments in life that mean more than football, more than victories, and more than anything that happens on a pitch. Watching your child experience pure happiness is something that cannot be described with words.” “I told Leo that she had been dreaming of meeting him and taking a photo with him for such a long time, and immediately he stopped what he was doing, smiled warmly, and gave her his full attention.” “She was so nervous that she could barely speak at first. Her hands were shaking, her eyes were full of emotion, and she looked like she couldn't believe the moment she had imagined for years was finally happening.” “In that moment, there was no Argentina, no Algeria, no World Cup, no competition, and no rivalry. It was simply a little girl standing face-to-face with the person she had always looked up to.” “What touched me the most was the way Leo handled the situation. He didn't rush, he didn't make it feel like an obligation, and he didn't act like a superstar. He made her feel special and comfortable.” “He spoke to her, smiled for the photos, and treated her with so much kindness and respect. Those small gestures mean everything to children because they stay with them forever.” “When we walked away, she couldn't stop smiling. She kept looking at the photo over and over again, almost as if she was checking whether the moment was real.” “She kept saying, ‘Dad, I actually met Messi. I really met Messi.’ Hearing those words from my daughter was more emotional for me than people can imagine.” “Football gives us unforgettable moments on the pitch, but for me, the most beautiful moment of the night happened after the final whistle when I watched my daughter's dream become a reality right in front of my eyes.”
