I think we can all agree that Martyn Ziegler should win the 2026 FIFA Peace Prize.

[BuccAndy @BuccAndy]

Because he's Reform. Lying is what they do. Over and over and over again. ....And if that doesn't work. They lie again

OI!! @ZiaYusufUK, why are you lying? These two screenshots from your video clip show Morocco, not Ceuta and are a couple of years old.

[Craig Murray @CraigMurrayOrg]

"Northern Spain" - Ceuta is in Africa. The ignorance is stunning.

Bravo Concacaf !

BREAKING: Concacaf statement adds to the pressure on Infantino

Concacaf and its 41 Member Associations welcome the withdrawal of the proposed FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE).

The Confederation also commends its 41 Member Associations and the wider football family for the courage and unity they have shown this week. At a moment that demanded principled leadership, our members stood together in defence of football’s long-term interests and the principles of good governance.

That unity has prevailed.

Concacaf would also like to acknowledge and commend the role of the media in bringing this issue out of the shadows and into the light.

The events of recent days have exposed something that cannot now be set aside: the future of the FIFA World Cup, the greatest asset in world football, was advanced outside every established governance framework, without transparency, consultation or due process.

A proposal of this magnitude does not reach that stage by accident. It is a symptom of leadership that has stopped putting football first. This recent unilateral and egregious act of poor governance and leadership follows a pattern of missteps and similar behaviour. A full review of this leadership must now take place.

This concern is not Concacaf’s alone. It is shared across many confederations, Member Associations and those who serve and love the game. When people entrusted with protecting the game conclude they can no longer do so from within, the football family is entitled to ask how such a proposal was allowed to proceed, and who bears responsibility for it.

FIFA is not a private enterprise. It is a body held in trust for the game and its members. Those appointed to serve it carry a fiduciary duty, a duty of service over power. Where that duty is not upheld, accountability cannot be optional.

As mandated by our Member Associations, Concacaf’s FIFA Council members will engage directly, and through the FIFA Council, to ensure that questions of governance, accountability and leadership are addressed properly through the institutions and procedures established under the FIFA Statutes.

They will also work within that same framework to determine how existing vast reserves can be dispersed to our membership via the FIFA Forward funding for football development across our region, without compromising our shared future.

We are all simple custodians, serving a game that belongs to us all.

The unity demonstrated by our Member Associations this week has reaffirmed that when guided by courage, integrity, and sound governance the game will remain where it belongs: in the hands of football - not a single individual.

Mayfield’s words and name association make headlines naturally, but truthfully the Buccaneers are handling his contract exactly the way they should be on their side, and Mayfield is saying all the things he should on his for future leverage. That’s it. It’s all where it should be

[BuccAndy @BuccAndy]

@KieranMaguire It has been for a long long time......The Elite v the Plebs.......They know it(the Elite) and we (the Plebs) know it too.....and so it goes on......

Worse than Blatter.

[Martyn Ziegler @martynziegler]

Good move not to have played Saka for a single minute of the semi-final to keep him fresh for the prestigious bronze medal match.

[Edwina Currie @Edwina_Currie]

The slight problem with close protection, of course, is that the police then keep a log of everywhere you go, and everyone you meet ..
Bit restricting, isn’t it?
Unless you’ve nothing to hide..

[Robbie Fowler @Robbie9Fowler]

A great coach/manager isn't someone who relys the on bravery of defenders throwing themselves in front of shots/crosses or the luck of hanging on with
X amount of defenders on the pitch.

[Paul Hayward @_PaulHayward]

Sad to say, beaten by the first top team they faced. Players deserved better than to be sent into a second-half siege that gave Argentina exactly what they wanted.

[Nick Harris @sportingintel]

England tournament analysis: seven matches and two good halves of football out of 14 - one against Croatia and one against Mexico. Roll on 2030 and the 64-team World Cup, and 64 years of hurt.

[Paul Hayward @_PaulHayward]

Indefensible. The pressure Jordan Pickford's goal was under should have told Tuchel to change it and get England out to relieve pressure and cause Argentina some problems.
Hired to "get England over the line."
Maybe start with the halfway line.

[Alfie | HITC Sevens @HITCSevens]

I like Thomas Tuchel, and he’s made some great calls during this World Cup, but he’s absolutely killed us in this game.

If he was brought in for his superior in-game management to Southgate when it mattered most, he has failed his biggest test - and failed it badly.

[Rob Draper @draper_rob]

I think it’s disingenuous for Tuchel to say players couldn’t keep ball and he was trying to consolidate

Every sub he made robbed us of pace, made it harder to keep the ball in midfield, robbed Kane of any support

[DANNY SIMPSON @dannysimpson]

Can’t say we didn’t deserve that. No way can you make them subs that early and sit back for that long it’s mental.

5 at the back and leave Messi on the wing with all that space.

Take Gordon off who was there giving us energy

Don’t retreat. Be brave like the other games

[Don Hutchison @donhutch4]

Absolutely correct mate.
Even down to the most basic level of tactics.
Tuchel took forwards/midfielders off for defenders. While watching Scaloni take defenders off for forwards 🤷🏻‍♂️
It was inevitable

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

Labour’s initial response to the treatment of Gaza caused huge hurt. We got it wrong and I am sorry for that.
