South Korean fans have at the 2026 FIFA World Cup Carrying Palestinian flags

They fulfilled their promise made during qualifiers when they chanted "We'll take Palestine to the World Cup with us."

🚨🗣️New: Zlatan Ibrahimovic on Vinicius Junior refusing the mandatory halftime interview with FIFA at the World Cup:

“People are shocked that Vinícius walked away from a halftime interview. I am shocked that anyone thinks he should have stopped in the first place.

Halftime is not a television studio. Halftime is not a podcast. Halftime is not a red carpet. Halftime is the heartbeat of a football match.

For 45 minutes, players are warriors in a storm. They run, they fight, they suffer, they bleed. Then they get 15 precious minutes to recover, to breathe, to listen, to think. And FIFA wants to spend part of that time chasing soundbites? That is like pulling a Formula 1 driver out of his car during a pit stop and asking him how the race is going.

And FIFA’s idea is to shove a microphone in the player’s face and ask, ‘How do you feel?’

How do you think he feels? He’s exhausted.

This is modern football’s biggest disease. Everything is content. Everything is sponsorship. Everything is television. The match hasn’t even finished and they’re already trying to manufacture headlines.

They tell us they care about player welfare. Really? Then why are players playing more games than ever? Why are tournaments expanding? Why are injuries increasing? And now they want halftime interviews too? The hypocrisy is unbelievable.

Halftime is sacred. It belongs to the players and the coaches. That’s where games are won. That’s where tactics change. That’s where injuries get treated. That’s where leaders speak. It is not a media circus.

And don’t tell me this is for the fans. Fans want better football, not a tired player giving a robotic 20-second answer because somebody sold another broadcast package.

Vinícius understood that. He chose football over public relations.

The funniest part? They threaten him with a fine. A fine. As if that changes the principle. If I were there, I’d pay it too. Because some things are worth more than money.

If FIFA really had their way, they’d put microphones in the dressing room and call it innovation.

Football should come first. Not content. Not commercials. Not corporate greed.

For once, a player pushed back. And that’s exactly why so many people are angry.”

What I want after this world cup is over.

1. USA to NEVER host a World Cup.
2. Infantino to be booted out.
3. Hydration Breaks to never occur when temperatures are at a certain level.
4. Ticket prices to be capped at a reasonable amount.
5. USA to NEVER host a World Cup.

You don’t get that level of punditry live on the BBC.

It’s only day 3 and I’m already so sick of these hydration break my sport is not a 4 quarter sport, it’s a game of TWO HALVES!

[Dimé @Cuervo_dimeh]

Transformer le football en un sport à quarts-temps pour vendre plus de publicité est une faute impardonnable.

[Seb Stafford-Bloor @SebSB]

That Gianni Infantino unilaterally altered the structure of football matches is deserving of so much more anger.

Palestine would be in the World Cup if Israel didn’t kill all its players
