Do You Know? Gary Lineker briefly reappeared on the BBC during the 2026 World Cup by gate crashing a colleague's on air analysis via video call from New York. This happened months after leaving the broadcaster over a prior controversy. A broadcaster who left in disgrace returned for five seconds and was still more watchable than most pundits. #DoYouKnow #BBC #Worldcup2026

Do You Know? Erling Haaland dressed as a Viking for Halloween and told a magazine he wants to "attack like a Viking" on the pitch. Then fans nicknamed a stadium chant section the "Viking Row" during the 2026 World Cup partly because of his reputation. Football turned a rich man playing dress up into a cultural movement. #DoYouKnow #Worldcup2026

Do You Know? Streamer iShowSpeed became such a fixture at the 2026 World Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly gifted him a pair of game worn boots, and commentators noted FIFA seemed happy to have him around because younger fans wanted to be near him. A YouTuber got closer to Ronaldo than most professional footballers ever will. #DoYouKnow #Worldcup2026 #RonaldoVtuber

Do You Know? Scotland's Tartan Army marched through Boston led by bagpipers during the 2026 World Cup and took over a Red Sox game at Fenway Park. American baseball players said the Scottish singing was some of the best atmosphere they had ever experienced. Scottish fans showed more passion in a baseball stadium than most football crowds showed in World Cup stadiums. #DoYouKnow #Worldcup2026

Simmons traveled to visit the Kings in Sacramento on Monday, undergoing in-depth medical exams, an on-court workout and meetings with coach Doug Christie and other staffers, sources said. In late August, Simmons also worked out for general manager Scott Perry and met with Perry for an hour. By all accounts within the Kings as well as Team Australia officials where Simmons participated in a players-only minicamp last month, the 30-year-old has looked and felt strong health-wise.

Do You Know? During England's 2026 World Cup win over Norway, cameras caught David Beckham celebrating wildly. Victoria Beckham sat completely still and unbothered, and the internet crowned her calm reaction one of the tournament's defining memes within hours. A woman doing nothing stole the show from a team winning a match. #DoYouKnow #Worldcup2026

Yes, they did fail, because they went into the window needing a left-back and came out with Luke Shaw as the only senior option , leaving Carrick to rely on makeshift solutions like Mazraoui or Dalot, or young players who may not be ready .

"Left-back was the one Michael Carrick would've REALLY LIKED!" 🙃 Did #mufc fail this transfer window by not bringing a left-back in? 🤔

Do You Know? Fans organized a protest at the 2026 World Cup final in New Jersey, handing out red cards for spectators to hold up against Trump and Infantino over the Balogun controversy, with a QR code linking to a website mimicking a VAR review graphic.

Do You Know? Donald Trump admitted he personally called FIFA president Gianni Infantino to complain about a red card given to American striker Folarin Balogun during the 2026 World Cup. FIFA lifted the automatic one match ban days later, and Belgium's federation officially protested the decision. A president interfered in a football match and FIFA bowed to political pressure. #DoYouKnow #FIFA
