Lamine Yamal starts for Spain in World Cup vs Saudi Arabia
Eighteen-year-old Lamine Yamal started for Spain against Saudi Arabia at the World Cup and scored the opening goal within 10 minutes. By starting, Yamal became the first player to start at both the European Championship and a World Cup while 18 or younger. Spain won 4-0, with Mikel Oyarzabal also on the scoresheet, a result that strengthens Spain's position in Group H and underlines Yamal's emergence as a generational attacking talent.
Amazing. Cape Verde is still tied with Uruguay for second in Group H, but they get to take on Saudi Arabia in their last match while Uruguay has to go through Spain. I like their odds.

JAG says it’s legal, but stupid.3Their entire nation has a smaller population than Portland, Oregon.
Paulette Feeney ❌️👑3That was a fun match to watch.
josvildsola1.bsky.social2South American teams being shown up by tiny island nations. I'm including Haiti putting up a decent game against Brazil.
Kind of completely fucking insane how Lamine Yamal is an established star with expectations of production at age 18
Kim McCauley27Messi and Ronaldo weren't globally well-known prospects making marginal contributions to their national teams until age 19, and it was another 2-3 years after that until they were *the* stars of their teams
Ben Muz2I was just telling someone about him, knowing he was young but forgot his exact age. I had mentally assumed he was 20. The fact he has over 100 games for Barcelona at 18 feels like football manager stuff
