As I've stated before, it will take decades to undo the harm that Infantino and FIFA have done to the Beautiful Game...

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

NEW: World Cup tickets cost up to $11.5 million — you could get into the last WC for $11.

This time FIFA could rake in $13 billion using dynamic pricing, resales, and lax U.S. rules.

We found FIFA President Gianni Infantino funneling that money into keeping himself in power.

We are saying no to a data centre in Île-des-Chênes because there are big threats to the environment and not much benefit to the economy.

Our message to any tech company out there… if you want to build technology with a thoughtful, human-centred approach that puts humanity first, then Manitoba is open for business. 🦬

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.

More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.

And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.

Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.

The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.

Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.

We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

Polite reminder. Trump & Brexit are not 2 different things. They are the same thing. Same companies. Same data. Same Facebook. Same Russians. Same Cambridge Analytica. Same Robert Mercer. Same Steve Bannon. Same Breitbart. Same Alexander Nix. Same Donald Trump. Same Nigel Farage.

فيه قاعدة خطيرة جدًا هتغير طريقة لعب المنتخبات بالكامل في كاس العالم القادم 🔥🔥🔥

أغلب الجماهير لسه مش مستوعبة إن كأس العالم 2026 هيبقى مختلف تمامًا عن أي مونديال شفناه قبل كده 😳🏆

لأول مرة في تاريخ كأس العالم بنظام الـ48 منتخب ، المركز الثالث مش معناه إنك خرجت.
بل ممكن تتأهل وأنت ثالث مجموعتك.
وده هيخلي كل هدف وكل بطاقة صفراء وكل دقيقة في دور المجموعات ليها قيمة مرعبة.

تخيل إن منتخب ممكن يخرج بسبب إنذار أخده لاعب في الدقيقة 90.
أو يتأهل بسبب هدف سجله وهو خسران 3-1 بدل ما يخسر 3-0.
الموضوع مش هزار.

لأن ترتيب أفضل أصحاب المركز الثالث هيتم بناءً على:
✅ النقاط
✅ فارق الأهداف
✅ الأهداف المسجلة
✅ السجل الانضباطي
✅ تصنيف الفيفا العالمي

وفي بعض السيناريوهات المعقدة جدًا...
قد نصل لمرحلة القرعة نفسها للفصل بين منتخبين! 😳

وعشان كده أتوقع إننا هنشوف حاجات غريبة جدًا في المونديال.
منتخبات تضغط في الدقيقة 95 وهي خسرانة.
منتخبات تحتفل بهدف تقليل الفارق أكثر من احتفالها ببعض الانتصارات.
ومدربين يحسبوا كل إنذار وكل هدف وكأنهم أهداف نهائي كأس العالم.

الأجمل للجماهير؟
إنه تقريبًا مفيش مباراة هتفقد أهميتها.
لأن المنتخب صاحب المركز الثالث في مجموعة ما هيكون بيصارع منتخبات من مجموعات أخرى في نفس الوقت.
يعني ممكن هدف يتسجل في مباراة تانية على بعد آلاف الكيلومترات يغير مصير منتخبك بالكامل.

باختصار...
كأس العالم 2026 هيكون أول مونديال في التاريخ تشوف فيه منتخب خسر مباراتين ومازال يحلم بالتأهل...

ومنتخب كسب مباراة ويعيش على أعصابه حتى آخر دقيقة في دور المجموعات 🔥🏆

President Trump just repeated his lie that China only builds windmills to export them to "stupid people from the United States, the suckers."

Reality: China has installed by far the most wind turbines of any country and is installing more of them far faster than any other country.
