𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗿 🇮🇷 Team Melli - National Team “It’s going to be so weird for us,” says Pedram Maleknia. “We want to support the team, but then we’re also going to be watching the game and thinking about all the people that are living in Iran, that are suffering at the same time. It’s a very difficult situation.” These are strange times to be an Iranian football fan. For some, it has been impossible to think about the World Cup. For others, doing so leads to a strong sense of guilt. The hope is the national team's matches this summer can bring joy, something that has been in short supply for a country at war with the tournament's co-hosts. 📝 Nick Miller Free to read | #Sponsored 🔗

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗿 🇨🇩 Fimbu — The whip On the pitch, expression is part of the package. It always has been. It all feeds into the phrase associated with the team: fimbu, which means ‘the whip’ in Lingala, the most widely-spoken Congolese language. It is a mimicking action that is popular in music and culture and was first used as a footballing celebration by the victorious DR Congo team that won the 2016 African Nations Championship (for locally-based players). "It’s energy, pride, passion, pressure and overwhelming your opponent with intensity. And right now an entire nation is ready to bring that spirit to the world stage." Free to read | #Sponsored 🔗

Flags, national pride, and support for the country are visible in many places, creating a unique atmosphere for visitors. Culture is expressed in different ways around the world, and seeing how people celebrate their country can be a powerful part of travel. For some visitors, it’s a new perspective on how national identity is shown in everyday life. The World Cup brings together more than just soccer fans, it brings together different traditions and ways of showing pride.

🚨Reporter asks Lionel Messi which country he would support to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup if Argentina do not become champions after his hat-trick masterclass against Algeria: 🎙️ Reporter: “Lionel, congratulations on your incredible performance tonight. If Argentina were not to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which country would you like to see become champions?” 🗣️ Lionel Messi: “First of all, I hope Argentina wins it. That is always my answer. This is my country, my people, and the team I will always support above everyone else. But if Argentina cannot win the World Cup, I would probably choose Portugal. I have a lot of respect for Cristiano Ronaldo. What he has done for football is incredible. We competed against each other for many years, but the respect has always been there. I know how much winning the World Cup would mean to him and to Portugal. There are many great teams in this tournament, but if Argentina are not the ones lifting the trophy, I would be happy to see Portugal do it. Cristiano has given everything to football. And winning the FIFA World Cup would be a beautiful way to complete an extraordinary story. But for now, my focus is only on Argentina. That is the dream. That is the objective. And that is what we are fighting for. {ESPN }

The situation in the Middle East right now is serious, and many people in the region are going through uncertain times. Dubai and the entire Gulf region have always been incredibly important for our films and for our boss. Millions of Indians live and work there, and a massive fan base of Rocking Star stands proudly in that region. For a film of this scale, the experience is meant to be shared together by fans across the world at the same time. When such a large section of our audience is facing tension and uncertainty, it only makes sense to wait for the right moment so everyone can celebrate the film together in theatres. This decision shows responsibility and respect for fans everywhere. Cinema is about bringing people together, and the goal is for every fan, whether in India, Dubai, or anywhere in the world, to enjoy the experience without worry. Real fans understand this. The celebration will be bigger when the time is right. 🔥

🚨🎙️ Flaco López on Argentina’s conduct after the World Cup final defeat: “I have to be honest because football is bigger than any individual. Watching some of my teammates, including our captain Lionel Messi, turn their backs while Spain were lifting the World Cup trophy was painful to see. As professionals, we must know how to win with humility and also how to lose with dignity.” “Everything I believed Argentina stood for crumbled in that moment. I always thought our national team represented passion, respect, and love for football above everything else. Seeing us fail to acknowledge the new world champions was heartbreaking and left me deeply disappointed.” “Spain deserved that moment. They earned the trophy on the pitch, and the least we could have done was stay, applaud them, and show respect. That’s what true sportsmanship is about. Walking away or refusing to acknowledge the champions sends the wrong message to young football fans around the world.” “I’ve played football for 18 years, and throughout my career I’ve been taught that football is about passion, respect, and fair competition—not hate, bitterness, or resentment. No defeat should ever make us forget the values this beautiful game is built on.” “I know speaking like this may upset some people. It might even cost me my place in the national team or future call-ups, but I won’t stay silent when I believe something is wrong. My loyalty is to football, to fair play, and to the values this sport represents. No player, no matter how great, is above those principles.
