🚨🎙️Declan Rice Reveals Tuchel's Masterplan to Stop Messi: "The... manager has been preparing us for this game for a long time because you don't get many chances to face a player like Lionel Messi. Thomas Tuchel keeps telling us that you don't stop Messi by diving into tackles or trying to be a hero on your own. You stop him as a team. Every player has a responsibility—stay compact, cut off the passing lanes, don't let him receive the ball facing goal, and make every decision as difficult as possible for him." "We know he can beat two or three players with one movement, so concentration has to be perfect for 90 minutes or more. If he gets space, he'll punish you. That's why discipline is everything." "And look, this is a World Cup semi-final. Our defenders know they'll have to be clever. If that means using a bit of the dark arts every now and then—breaking up the rhythm, making things uncomfortable, taking a tactical foul when it's needed—as long as it's within the laws of the game, that's part of football at this level. You don't give the greatest player of all time an easy afternoon."show more

Declan Rice on England’s approach to facing Argentina and... Lionel Messi in a potential World Cup semi-final. 🗣️ “Let’s stop pretending everything Argentina do goes through Lionel Messi. If you let him dictate the game, you’ve already made your first mistake. Our job is to make sure he doesn’t get a second to breathe.” “People can talk about Argentina’s squad all they want, but when Messi isn’t controlling the match, they’re a completely different team. He’s the engine, the creator and the player everyone looks for when the pressure is at its highest.” “We aren’t walking onto that pitch to admire him or watch another highlight reel. We’ll be in his face from the first whistle. Every touch will be contested, every pass will be pressured and every yard will have to be earned.” “This is a World Cup semi-final, not a tribute to Lionel Messi. If he thinks he’s going to stroll around and control the game, he’s in for a shock. We’ll make it as uncomfortable as possible because that’s what winning demands.” “Respect is one thing, fear is another. We respect Messi because he’s one of the greatest to ever play the game. But once that whistle goes, reputation means nothing. We’re there to beat Argentina, and if we stop their biggest threat, we’ve given ourselves every chance of reaching the World Cup final.”show more

Freddie Freeman says Shohei Ohtani is the “greatest player... of all time” as he's been on a hot streak since the Anaheim series. “When you have the greatest player of all time playing this game on your team, and he's hot like he is right now, it's fun to watch, fun to be a part of,” Freeman said.

Jude Bellingham In a recent interview, Andy said that... he doesn't dislike Messi as a person, but he dislikes the way some people treat and praise him as if he were a god. Interviewer🔊: "During the recent FIFA World Cup, you and Messi nearly confronted each other on the pitch. What happened?" Jude Bellingham 🗣️: "Messi acts like he owns football and believes he's above everyone else. As far as I'm concerned, he's a cheater. During that match, one of the Argentina players clearly fouled one of our teammates, but instead of leaving the decision to the referee, Messi started acting like the official himself. That's when I stood up to him and said, 'No one is king here, and no one is above the rules except the referee.' I wasn't going to let anyone intimidate us or control the game. Football should always be decided fairly, not by reputation or influence. Thank God Argentina didn't win the World Cup. If they had, it would have been one of the most heartbreaking moments of my life this year."show more

🚨Cesc Fàbregas on Messi vs Mbappé for the Golden... Boot: "Leo deserves everything if he leads Argentina to back-to-back World Cups. 🗣️ Cesc Fàbregas For me, Lionel Messi should be winning the Golden Boot. When at the goals, you have to look at the influence he has had on every match. His goals, assists, creativity and the way he controls important moments for Argentina have been incredible. Mbappé has also been outstanding. He is a phenomenal player and his numbers speak for themselves, but Messi's impact goes beyond statistics. You can see how the whole team responds when he takes responsibility. If Messi can lead Argentina to two consecutive World Cup trophies, then honestly he deserves every individual award available. Best Player of the Tournament, Golden Boot, Ballon d'Or everything. We are talking about a player who is 39 years old and still deciding games at the highest level. What Messi is doing at this stage of his career is something we may never see again.show more

Don’t be like this player. So many players still... don’t use boost efficiently, even though boost management is the most important skill in the game. A good guideline is to save boost for when you’re making a play on the ball and use your movement to get to the ball. Here is a player who uses all of his boost to chase the ball, and when he ends up low on boost, he keeps chasing anyway. This leads to him bumping his teammate and giving up an easy goal.show more

It’s come to our attention that another community host... has decided to ban players for competing in 6ix Arena. We want to make our position clear: we will never punish players for where they choose to play. Competition makes everyone better — players, leagues, and the community as a whole. Every player is free to compete in 6ix Arena and anywhere else, at the same time, with no conditions. That will never change. To any player affected by this decision: our doors are open. You’ll always have a home here. We wish EVERY league and EVERY player success. The community is big enough for all of us as it has been for the last 10 years. -Dangershow more

This is an example of a justified punch. As... you can see the guy is merely holding his arms out the entire time trying to get the guy to hold back/deescalate the situation, the black guy swats his hand (this counts as a physical attack) the guy doesn't back down so he punches. The law literally doesn't care about whether you are justified or not though, so don't throw sucker punches, be ready to counter/defend against them, once someone physically lays their hands on you THEN you unload. As long as you fear for your life after all. NOTE: I've noticed this a lot, but a lot of people from "the hood" have a habit of saying shit like "don't touch me" when you aren't even touching them just trying to use motions and body language/defensive posture and then they make physical contact with you and throw the first punch or make physical contact: NEWSFLASH—saying "don't touch me" while touching someone doesn't make you the good guy lmao, same thing with the Alex Pretti case, the dimpshit put his hands on an officer, then proceeded to resist arrest while yelling "no don't touch me" like a retard, him getting shot was entirely legally justifiable (especially considering his gun discharged and instead of having his hands up or laying down/still he tries to get up and is reaching at his pants) I'm not trying to be tough (lmao) nor am I saying you have to fight fair (I don't) but you 100% need to know the law if you're going to have your ass covered. ITT: Don't be a retard and know the law.show more

Reporter 🗣️. In India, there's a lot of discussion... about Rohit Sharma's retirement, with some reports suggesting this could be his last tour. Do you have any thoughts or memories about him? Harry Brook: 🗣️ I don't know what's being said about Rohit Sharma's retirement. He's been a phenomenal player for many years, and it's great to see him still playing the game. I personally hope he keeps playing for India because he's one of the greatest white-ball players of all time.show more

And just like that… ‘HIT ME HARD AND SOFT:... The Tour’ has officially come to a close after 106 unforgettable shows. We’re feeling overwhelmed with gratitude, replaying a million memories in our heads, and trying to find the words to express how much this entire tour has meant to us. First, to every single person who ever sent us a concert video, a clip, a moment, or a tiny piece of your experience: thank you. You helped us bring this tour to people who couldn’t be there in person, and because of you, thousands of fans around the world got to feel a little closer, a little more connected, and a little more included. We truly couldn’t have done any of this without your generosity and love. To Billie and her incredible team: thank you for crafting a show that felt like magic every single night. The passion, artistry, and heart you put into this tour truly touched people in ways that will stay with them forever. Watching this tour unfold city by city has been an honor, and we’re endlessly grateful we were able to see it in person. And lastly, but so deeply, to all of YOU. This community has become more than we ever imagined it could be. Your support, kindness, excitement, and trust have turned this into something truly beautiful. Even during the nights we barely slept, posting videos until the sun came up, we never once forgot how lucky we are to share this space with all of you. Being able to do this for an entire tour, and to feel your energy every step of the way, has meant everything to us! This page exists exactly because of that. We don’t know exactly what the future holds, but we can promise you this: we’re not going anywhere. As long as Billie keeps touring and honestly, even beyond that we hope to be right here with you, creating, sharing, and celebrating together. We can’t wait for the next chapter, the next show, the next era. All of it. And we hope you’ll stay with us for many more tours to come. Thank you for the memories. Thank you for the love. Thank you for making this community feel like home. Sending each and every one of you so much love, always.show more

Hills I will die on as someone who has... coached high school football for over 29 years: 1. If you are not PASSIONATE about blessing, serving, and empowering those you are blessed to coach, this profession is not for you. 2. As much as we need to know our trade, getting to know (and to love), our players is far more important. 3. This is an INTENSE game, and it’ll never be “just a game”, but it IS a game. Remember that when you’re with your team, and more importantly, remember that when you’re with your family. 4. Just as we teach our athletes to “leave things better than they found them”, we need to leave our athletes better than they were when they first entered into our program. Never let a day pass without pouring into each and every individual. 5. Life is complicated enough, let’s not complicate the game in such a way that we take the joy of it away from others. In other words… Keep it simple. 6. Our words carry little (or NO), value, if we don’t practice what we preach. WE as coaches should be learning and growing each and every day, just as we expect our athletes to. 7. As much as we all want to win those championship rings for our athletes, make sure you don’t lose your wedding ring in the process. 8. The athlete that may be “difficult to reach/teach” (the one who may get on your last nerve more than you could ever imagine), is someone’s EVERYTHING. Get to know them as human beings, find out what motivates them, and do everything you can to help them to thrive. 9. Be where your feet are. Don’t fall into the trap of chasing logos and thinking that a higher division, a bigger school, or going from HS to college, or even college to the pros, is going to be more rewarding or fulfilling. 10. The legacy you leave as a coach will never be determined by your wins and losses, but by the lives you were able to change for the better!show more

I see as you rush quote the fake post.... If you know Ronaldo from the beginning of time, you would know he has always said he is the best.

It's nail night! This little man has huge paws... and fast growing nails. He's been carefully introduced to the Dremel and doesn't fear it all. However sitting still long enough is a challenge for him so instead of spending a lot of time getting them really short, he gets just a little buzzed off and a bite of chicken or other high value treat every nail. Because it's a fast session they get done at least once a week. We start off with a quick sniff and paw touches on the Dremel so he's reminded it's a safe thing and essential to getting the treats. As he gets older and has more patience, he'll get longer, better trims and they won't need to be done as often but short sessions now keep him from getting frustrated and starting to really dislike the process. You really don't want an adult 120 pound rottweiler hating nail trims. #PuppyLife 🎥 Kenji doing his pre-pawdicure routineshow more

🚨ODD SCORING ALERT🚨 This is from tonight's #RedSox and... Washington Nationals game, from the first inning. Here, Curtis Mead is picked off and decides to run way left of second base, and the throw from Willson Contreras hits him. For scoring purposes, this is a pickoff and a stolen base for Mead, because he took off on the pickoff and never stops or hesitates going to second, so even though the throw hits Mead, by rule it has to be a stolen base. Rules wise, this is a legal move by Mead. He isn't out of the base path because you can establish your own path, and if you don't want to run in a straight line, you don't have to (otherwise there would be no rounding of bases). You cannot be out of the basepath until a tag is attempted (and then you get three feet). #NATITUDE #DirtyWatershow more

Today is the birthday of the great Malcolm X.... His message is still relevant today because we still live under the same capitalist system that has to change for things to get better. “You’re living at a time of revolution. A time where there’s got to be a change. People in power have misused it. And now there has to be a change and a better world has to be built. I will join with anyone, I don’t care what color you are, as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this earth.”show more

🚨🎙️Micheal carrick was asked the difference between Cristiano Ronaldo... and Lionel Messi 🗣️Michael Carrick:The difference between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, for me, is what Ronaldo gives you in the biggest moments. When everything is on the line, he has that ability to produce something special. He turns up when his team needs him most.” “I’ve played with Cristiano, and I’ve seen it firsthand. Finals, knockout games, title deciders—he always found a way to make the difference. Whether it was a goal, a header, a run, or simply inspiring the team, he delivered when it mattered.” “Messi is an extraordinary footballer, one of the greatest to ever play the game, but Ronaldo has that extra edge in decisive moments. He gives you that little bit more when the pressure is at its highest, and that’s what separates him for me.”show more
