FIFA's own rules dictate that if a government tries to intervene in a disciplinary matter - that team is disqualified. Not happening to the USA though, despite trump making that phone call. Wonder why. 🤔
Fuck Trump. Fuck Infantino.
When FIFA suspends Nepal, India or an African country's football federation over "government interference", it is supposed to be a verdict and commentary on the third world institutions in place in these countries.
But when the US President calls the FIFA head to overturn a red card in the middle of a World Cup, and then celebrates the said call and decision on social media, it is to "save the game" and reverse the "injustice".
It is not hypocrisy. It is hierarchy.
Rapaz!
Cristiano Ronaldo, na coletiva de imprensa, para o Marcelo Bechler: "Desafio aquele ali, aquele ali, a fazer uma pergunta boa, já que não gosta de mim."
Marcelo Bechler: "Qual a coisa mais difícil numa Copa do Mundo com 41 anos?"
Cristiano Ronaldo: "Falar com vocês, que não gostam de mim principalmente, e tu é um deles que eu sei."
this guy supported queer rights and women rights like abortion and he was using his social media to show videos about goverment repression and also spoke about how the goverment fails women about femicides

Nathan Ake: “It’s been a privilege to represent Manchester City over the past six years and I’m so grateful to have been part of a special team. I’ve grown so much here – as a player and person and I’m thankful for the time I’ve had at the club.
"I’ll always cherish the memories, particularly winning the Treble, being part of all four Premier League titles in a side that made history and triumphing in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup in my final season at the Club.
"While I’m moving on, I’m very proud of everything we’ve achieved together and City will always be special to me..." [via @ManCity]

¡MESSI ENTENDIÓ TODO!
Tras el silbatazo final del partido de Argentina y Cabo Verde en la Copa del Mundo.
Lionel Messi se alejó de todos sus compañeros para ir directamente con los jugadores de Cabo Verde, les dió la mano a cada uno, hasta abrazos de consolación. Dejando la rivalidad de lado.
Ese saludo con Vozinha, quien con 40 años está jugando su primera Copa del Mundo lo dice todo. Leo tiene 39 años y está en su sexto mundial. Para algunos será una obligación estar en una Copa del Mundo como Messi. Para otros como Vozinha, solo ocurre una vez en la vida. Prefirió estar con sus rivales antes que celebrar la clasificación.
UN GESTO DE HUMILDAD DEL GOAT.
Scaloni should take lessons from this game. He should not start his favorites. He need to start those who capable to provide something. Also he clearly underestimated Cape Verde 👍🏻
