FIFA sold out the world cup years ago

[Richard @ricwe123]

So here we have an official at the World Cup in the US literally holding up the complete match with his arm in the air, not for injuries, not for football reasons,but because the TV network hasn’t finished selling their ads.
At this point, it’s not a match anymore, it’s a broadcast schedule with a ball occasionally rolling around.

A World Cup official stopping play mid-game so the broadcasters can finish their commercials.
Nothing says “beautiful game” like football taking orders from an ad break. It’s not a sport at that point,it’s a TV product with a pitch attached.

Imagine watching a World Cup match where the referee is told to wait because the commercials aren’t done yet.
That’s not football, that’s a glorified ad break pretending to be a sporting event.
Just some meaningless content between commercial slots.

Its a shite idea its ruined the matches almost as much as the constant diving

Its not a world cup - its a circus

[B. @InvertTheWing]

Every quote I see from Van Dijk is just him complaining.

Football died long ago.

🚨🗣️New: Thierry Henry reacts to the USA vs Paraguay stoppage for TV commercials:

“I’ve spent my entire life in this beautiful game — as a player at the highest level, as a fan, and now as someone who analyses it every week — and what unfolded during that USA versus Paraguay match left me deeply frustrated. The fourth official standing there on the touchline, arm raised high, instructing the referee to hold the restart… not for any injury, not for tactical reasons, and not even primarily for player hydration in that scorching heat. No. It was because the broadcast team hadn’t finished airing all their commercials. That’s not football. That’s a television show pretending to be a World Cup match.

The beautiful game is being strangled by greed. Players are out there in the heat, ready to restart, momentum building like a storm about to break — and we pause everything so the sponsors can cash in. It’s like stopping a symphony mid-crescendo because the advertisers want their jingle heard. Football didn’t conquer the world by turning into American sports with endless timeouts and ad breaks. We had rhythm, flow, emotion that flowed like a river. Now? It’s dammed up for dollars.

This isn’t about hydration or player welfare anymore — it’s a slippery slope where the soul of the game is sold piece by piece. Fans deserve better. Players deserve better. The referee on that pitch looked like a puppet on strings controlled from some broadcast truck. Enough is enough. We need to protect what made this sport the greatest on Earth before it disappears completely.”

The World Cup should be football’s cathedral. Instead, we’re turning it into a shopping mall with a pitch in the middle.

And here’s the question nobody wants to answer: if the fourth official is waiting for commercials, then who is really running the game? FIFA? The referee? Or the broadcasters?

Because the moment football starts asking advertisers for permission before asking the players, you’ve crossed a line.

The World Cup is supposed to be the showcase of football. Not the showcase of who paid the most for airtime.”

Took Germany only 50 secs for the first dive

Every poxy game in the world cup

[Gravity Hurts @88gravity]

Total nonsense

He could have stayed on his feet

The player dived

This whole competition has been ruined from game one by diving and rolling around

The US only benefited because the other player cheated

In fact they should use VAR on every dive

It really is that simple

[Kristaki @Kristaki06]

I believe he made contact with the player as he travels past behind the player... people have such a hard on for simulation they want this rule in.. the US player made a clear slide tackle that was never getting to the ball and was rewarded for his stupid attempt that is what is atrocious about the reverse uno card used here the initial decision was correct

[Gravity Hurts @88gravity]

Its been the same from game one

Everyone throwing themselves on the floor

Should get VAR to run diving checks

Stopped watching, its embarassing

[CJ Gillman @CoachGilly6]

This is it, this is why I can’t watch.

[Gravity Hurts @88gravity]

3 games in and sick of this rolling around bullshit

Its every other tackle

Pathetic

Real Madrid's contract offer to Ibrahima Konate has been revealed by Spanish outlet El Desmarque. He will be making £400k per week over the course of a four-year deal. Los Blancos will be also giving him a £17m signing-on fee. That equates to around £83 MILLION in wages and with his welcome bonus factored in the 27-year-old will be making over £100m during his spell at the Bernabeu. Should Liverpool have matched this offer?

[Gravity Hurts @88gravity]

Scouse not English.

[Gravity Hurts @88gravity]

If all the ITK’s are correct - we’re linked with 50 players this summer

[Gravity Hurts @88gravity]

Not a chance.

[The Redmen TV @TheRedmenTV]

🚨 Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in Rio Ngumoha. No contact has been made with Liverpool yet. Liverpool insist Ngumoha is NOT for sale!

Something that never happened Nr94

[Florian Plettenberg @Plettigoal]

🚨❌ The deal between FC Bayern and Rio Ngumoha already collapsed yesterday (despite a verbal agreement) because it was clear behind the scenes that Liverpool would NOT sell the player.

However, there were phone calls, meetings and direct talks between Vincent Kompany/Ngumoha. As also reported by @David_Ornstein, Ngumoha became Bayern’s primary target once the Anthony Gordon deal began to collapse. #LFC

Bayern are now focused on two transfers: Nathaniel Brown and Ismael Saibari. If both deals go through, it’s very likely that NO additional left winger will be signed, as both players are capable of playing in that position. @SkySportDE 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇳🇬

@FabrizioRomano Until Real Madrid shows up he becomes touchable. At this point Liverpool are Real Madrid's B!tch.
A loyal one at that
