Perhaps, when he observes Messi, Busquets, and Alba in action for his club, Inter Miami, it triggers nostalgia, making him reflect on his past and perhaps even harbor a wish to step back onto the field.

England and the World Cups misery


After their 1966 victory, the World Cup moments for the Three Lions have consistently carried a sense of sorrow. Memories include Rooney's robust tackle on Carvalho in 2006, Lampard's disallowed goal against Germany in 2010, and for the Lionesses, recollections of their defeat against Japan in 2015, Alex Morgan's tea celebration in 2018, and most recently, their 2023 final loss to Spain.
