Rightfully so, the storyline everybody’s been talking about from Friday's fixture between Iran and Morocco is the 95th minute own goal that saw Iran take just its second ever World Cup victory and its first in 20 years (against the U.S.). They will also be going into Match Day 2 leading a group that consists of Spain and Portugal. Football is awesome.
John Green, author of “The Fault in Our Stars,” delightful YouTube talent and shameless Liverpool supporter, may want to be careful about what he wishes for — vuvuzelas are back.
During the Uruguay-Egypt match to start Friday’s World Cup action, during which there were a lot of empty seats in the middle of the park, likely where wealthy Russians should be sitting, Green lamented about the atmosphere.
Modesty is for the meek. At least, that’s what the president of the United States must think. On Friday morning, two days after the U.S. won the right to host the 2026 World Cup alongside Mexico and Canada, Donald Trump tweeted about how hard he worked to bring the greatest sporting event in the world back to the U.S.
Let’s just get this out of the way: Unless you’re a mom, you have no interest in opening ceremonies.

That said, the 2018 World Cup opening ceremony wasn’t all that bad thanks to one man: Robbie Williams.

Earlier this week, pop star Ariana Grande announced she was engaged. Immediately everyone on the internet who cares more about the lives of celebrities than their own lives began scouring the internet, searching Google for "Who is Pete Davidson." Or, more accurately, "who is pete davidson," because who has time for proper capitalization?
Hope Solo has often been a figure of division throughout her playing career, and she has only added to that with her latest remarks. Solo believes that the joint bid consisting of the United States, Mexico and Canada should not win the hosting rights for the 2026 World Cup.
Joachim Low is a very well respected and accomplished manager who has had a lot of success, with winning the 2014 World Cup as his crowning achievement. He has been the manager of the German national team for 12 years, and managers lasting longer than two years at the same place isn’t something you see often today.
The World Cup is nearly on our doorstep people, and everyone is debating who is going to win it all. Predictions are always fun but rarely do people get everything right. Unless you’re an octopus with the ability to see into the future.
Jose Mourinho decided he would have a go predicting who will make it out of the group stages, and some of his thoughts are quite obscure. But, he also has his reasons for who he picks. Watch the Special One make his picks in the video below.
