Marcelo's first Selecao appearance came in a friendly against Wales that was played at White Hart Lane in September 2006. A 25-yard strike from Marcelo just after the hour mark put Brazil on their way that evening.

Ben White's return to the England team was marked by a goal that seemed to secure a victory, but a late penalty conceded changed the outcome.

Neymar is Neymar. Neymar is a great player. The World Cup is the tournament of world stars. In my book, Neymar is one of the biggest stars. I don't see a World Cup without Neymar.

Honestly, it's hard to put into words. There was so much going on. It's one of those things that you look back at and appreciate it more than when you're in the moment. Everything was so crazy in the moment; there was so much going on. I was able to appreciate it, of course, but there was so much in the moment that you don't even necessarily realize how much it means.

The Argentina Football Association (AFA) scheduled the last-minute game after the official cancellation of the Finalissima.

To be honest, during the last game in Ecuador I concluded with a muscle strain, which is why I left the field early. So, together with the people of the organization and Inter Miami it was decided to suspend this game. We hope it can be reprogrammed, and we can see each other.

The Chilean players' association officially became a union in December, and its president, Javiera Moreno, believes there needs to be women's representation in players' unions around the world. We want this movement to become massive, says the former Universidad Catolica captain. Our goal is to spread this to other countries. I don't know if in other places the path will be to have a specific union for women. This was needed here, but I think there needs to be at least representation of women's players within every country's footballers' union.
