Julián Quiñones, new idol of the Tricolor after his performance in the 2026 World Cup

Seven goals and an unforgettable ovation

Erling Braut Haaland established himself as one of the great figures of the World Cup. With seven goals, the forward was a key player in Norway’s historic performance.

Despite the elimination in the quarterfinals against England, Haaland left the field to applause. The recognition was unanimous.

His reaction after the tournament

The Manchester City attacker spoke to the press at the end of the World Cup adventure. He seemed serene and proud.

“They have been the best weeks and the best experience of my life. It has been something totally surreal, it is difficult to assimilate it now. You feel a little empty…”

The hug with Jude Bellingham at the end of the meeting also stood out.

A message for your country

Haaland took the opportunity to send optimism to the Norwegians. He highlighted the growth of the team and assured that this is just the beginning.

“I hope this has united the people. We should feel proud, but at the same time learn from this. This is changing Norway. This is changing me.”

The forward closed with a promise: “We have shown that we are one of the best teams in the world.”

Now he will have a period of rest before resuming his club. His performance remains one of the milestones of the tournament.

Argentine victory and tension on the field

Argentina secured its place in the semifinals of the World Cup after beating Switzerland 3-1 in extra time. The South American team will now face England in the next round.

During the match, Lionel Messi was involved in a tense exchange with Portuguese referee Joao Pinheiro. The incident occurred near the end of the first half and quickly went viral.

“Talk to me well. Don’t disrespect me; I speak to you in a respectful manner. You don’t know how to speak, you must show me respect,” said the Argentine captain.

The whistler decided to continue with the game after the complaint. Messi resumed his leadership on the field and helped his team achieve qualification.

The Albiceleste fans celebrated the victory and remain hopeful of seeing Messi lift the World Cup trophy.

Julián Quiñones’ performance in the World Cup did not go unnoticed. The Mexican forward scored four goals with El Tri, which placed him as the best player on the team and one of the most outstanding in the tournament. His name is now being heard in clubs in England.

According to information replicated in European media, Aston Villa is closely following the attacker. The specialized journalist Sacha Tavolieri pointed out that the English club is analyzing a possible approach with Al-Qadsiah to find out the conditions of a negotiation. So far there is no formal offer.

Days ago, Chelsea also appeared as a possible destination. However, the information did not advance, partly due to the club’s policy of not hiring players close to 30 years old.

Quiñones comes from a historic season in Saudi Arabia: he was the scoring champion with 33 goals in 31 games. He surpassed Ivan Toney (32 goals) and Cristiano Ronaldo (27 goals).

According to the FIFA Power Ranking, the Mexican is the tenth best player in the World Cup, along with other figures.
