The World Championships bring not only memorable moments on the field, but also emotional events that are not only related to what happens on the field of play. An example of this took place today during the Germany-Curaçao match. Just before the whistle, the cameras were focused on Dick Advocaat - the national coach of the Caribbean island - who was in tears. It is important to mention that Advocaat, after leading Curaçao from 2024 to 2026, had decided to leave his position to be with his sick daughter. However, the pull of the field proved too strong and he returned to his position before the start of the tournament. This is a historic moment, as at 78 years old he is the oldest national coach in the history of the World Cup.
