Spain just stitched that second star onto their shirt, and while everyone is still savoring that sweet victory, the world of football keeps spinning with some absolutely wild stories popping off. Seriously, you won’t believe what went down during the World Cup celebrations.
The Underwear That Stopped the Internet and Wild World Cup Promises
During the massive celebrations at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, Lamine Yamal wasn’t shy about showing off. He repeatedly lifted his shirt, flashing the logo of German brand 6PM on his underwear to a multimillion-strong audience. What happened next? Chaos! According to Bild, 6PM’s online store went nuts. Those boxers, which cost 30 euros for a double pack, sold out completely in no time. Talk about a marketing coup!
But Yamal isn’t the only one making headlines. Princess Leonor brilliantly trolled Ferran Torres during the Royal Family’s reception for the world champions, asking him point blank if he was going to shave his head, a promise he made before the World Cup. Turns out, Torres isn’t too keen on that idea now. More promises are flying around the team, though: Marc Cucurella, Álex Baena, Borja Iglesias, and Yeremy Pino are all set to tattoo head coach Luis de la Fuente’s face on themselves. Lamine Yamal himself promised to let his beard grow for three weeks, while Gavi and Pedri vowed to dye their hair. Man, these guys went all in!
Real Madrid’s Stance and Italy’s Coaching Dream
While players are making tattoo and hair dye promises, the transfer market never sleeps. Arancha Rodríguez for COPE reports that Real Madrid is not considering, for now, signing Rodri or any other big star. It’ll be interesting to see how Mourinho takes this new Florentino Pérez policy, right? You just know there’s some tension brewing there.
Meanwhile, over in Italy, the search for a new national team coach is heating up. *La Gazzetta dello Sport* dedicated part of its front page this morning to a fan poll, and the results are pretty clear: Pep Guardiola is the top choice, grabbing 34% of the vote. Conte is next with 19%, while both Mancini and Pirlo follow closely behind with 17% each. Imagine Pep leading the Azzurri! That would be a game-changer.
If you’re itching for more football action, mark your calendars! Today’s lineup includes Tottenham versus MK Dons at 15:00, Napoli taking on Arezzo at 18:00, and Recreativo de Huelva battling Real Betis in the Colombino Trophy at 20:30. Plus, there are Champions League and Conference League previews to get hyped about. Plenty of reasons to keep glued to the screen!
