The G.O.A.T. debate has no borders, and it’s officially gone global. 🌍🐐 We knew a wheel of cheese wouldn't settle the Jordan vs. LeBron argument, that debate is older than some of our developers. But we did want to see what happens when you give people a way to actually taste the rivalry. The result? Pure viral madness. 🚀 From US trivia shows on TikTok to basketball podcasts in Serbia and creators in Croatia, everyone is picking a side. The content is spreading faster than, well, goat cheese on a cracker. Whether you're team Mikey or Team Jamie, one thing is for sure: the G.O.A.T. debate has never tasted this good. 🏀✨ Greatest of all time? It's a matter of taste.

Are you ready to rethink Prime Time? 🦉⚽ In 2026, the World Cup is playing by a different rhythm. For fans across Europe, "kick-off" might mean setting an alarm for 2:00 AM.

Toni will be joined by Marko Šapit from HRT, Josip Paušić from Tribina Media, and Antonio Karlović, PhD from WPP Media to discuss how brands and media platforms can stay relevant when the biggest matches of the year happen in the middle of the night. See you in Rovinj! ⛵
