2014 World Cup Prizm Matchups Silver Pirlo/Gerard

A lot has been made of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi being the first players to play in 6 men's World Cup's this summer. But there is one more legend who could join them, Mexico's Guillermo Ochoa. At 41 years old, he is currently playing in Cyprus of all places for AEL Limassol. He served as a backup keeper for Mexico most recently in the Gold Cup. Mexico plays and hosts South Africa in the opener for the World Cup, on June 11, at the legendary Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. How awesome would it be if he not only made the squad, but was able to get some minutes between the sticks in that opening game? It would be a brilliant and emotional beginning to the World Cup. He would be the first player to do it with Messi and CR7 opening up their games a few days later. Attached is one of my favorite NFTs on the Panini platform. Incredible Mexico Team color match from the Saga set. Buena suerte, Leyenda!!!!!!

Shared a post about Ochoa's jersey number on Mantel a few months ago.

I was far too happy to see Australia draw the US in their group for next year.

So many over-confident seppos are going to be brought back down to earth. Underestimate Australian Football at your own peril 😏

Two of my all- time favorite holdings on the Panini NFT platform. 1970 is the year Panini first put out their World Cup stickers. Also, the first year that the World Cup was shown in color on TV. Happy to have the 10/10 Brazil logo, which is the jersey number that Pele wore during that brilliant World Cup performance. My favorite World Cup mascot is also the legendary Juanito with that big smile on his face. The feeling you get when you play soccer. Tick, tick, tick .............

Lamine Yamal featured on last night's 60 minutes. This is the week where the World Cup's temperature hits 100.4 F. Lamine became the fourth soccer player to be profiled on 60 Minutes after Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar. World Cup Fever should be a full-blown fever this weekend after Friday's World Cup Draw. Picked up this Panini 37/45 Lamine Yamal on the Panini NFT Platform. There are a relatively small count of rookie/debut Yamal's on the NFT platform. Join the Panini NFT Group to follow soccer NFT drops leading to the summer World Cup and share your World Cup stories. To celebrate the World Cup draw Friday, I will post my all-time starting 11 World Cup Panini NFTs on the Panini NFT Group that day.
