One of the most unexpected trends of the 2026 World Cup wasn’t tactical—it was on the players’ feet. 👟 According to Footy_Headlines, Adidas CEO Björn Gulden admitted the company didn’t expect nearly every major boot manufacturer to release pink boots for the tournament. He said each brand independently reached the same conclusion: pink offered the best visibility on TV and was a favorite among players. Instead of standing out, almost everyone ended up wearing the same color. #soccer #worldcup2026
