Before #FIFA start pumping the propaganda tonight and telling us all how amazing this #WorldCup has been, let’s remember they oversaw:
- highest ticket prices ever and took a cut from resale sites.
- did nothing about Somalian referee and dozens of staff who were banned from entering the US for no legitimate reason.
- stood by as Iran were forced to train outside the US and travel in on match days.
- overturned red cards after phone calls with the president.
- Americanised the beautiful game with hydration (TV) breaks and 25 mins half time in the final
- guided Argentina through the tournament with less travel, VAR support and blatantly turning a blind due to their aggression and foul play.
Gotta own up to it, I am the delusional Tom Cruise fan who thinks he’s a good guy. Maybe I’ve just fallen for the propaganda, but that’s my king and I love him
Micah Richards was taking absolute pelters on social media throughout the England coverage last night.
Just search his name on here. People were saying he was on drugs, asking why he seemed so angry, why he was so twitchy, why he was speaking the way he was and calling him all sorts.
It’s a perfect example of why we should never assume we know what’s going on in someone’s life before judging or mocking them.
Hours before the game, Micah’s father passed away. Yet he still turned up and did his job. That takes incredible strength.
Just remember, think before you speak. You never know what someone is carrying behind the scenes.

This is the kind of thing that was said about the Jews in the 1930s.
It is not hyperbolic to say that degrading an entire culture leads us to a very dark place. Reform are playing with fire right now trying to stop themselves being outflanked by the extremists of Restore.
