🇦🇱🇮🇱⚽️ 🥊 FLASH INFO — Suite à son but contre l’Albanie, le joueur Israélien Oscar Gloukh s’est rué vers les tribunes doigt sur la bouche en signe de provocation, avant d’embrasser son écusson avec arrogance.

👉 Les joueurs albanais l’ont aussitôt confronté et giflé en direct.

FIFA to debut fan-centric pre-match ceremony at FIFA World Cup 2026™

Every player selected in the matchday squad will step into the spotlight to gather around the centre circle banner for the national anthems, ensuring that every individual – not just the starting XI – experiences that symbolic moment of pride and emotion when representing their country on football’s greatest stage.

No AI

No actors

No influencers

Just the best players from across the globe and a brilliant concept grounded in the joy of street football….and Elvis.

For what it’s worth, IF it’s not all about greed then why not put it free-to-air on GAA+?

✍️ Viewers just have to set up a GAA+ account
🖥️ It familiarises people with the offering
📊 Gives the GAA loads of new data & emails to market too
✅ Soft touch and lures people in

“Any old bits of Goodison knocking about in storage?”

After 17 years of incredible service, Seamus Coleman will now always have a piece of Goodison with him. 💙

The GAA championship isn’t broken.

It’s being badly presented. 📺

A better product is already there —
but poor promotion, limited access, and scattered coverage are holding it back.

That’s a fixable problem.

Which makes it even more frustrating 🤯

My @IndoSport piece 👇

[Declan Lee @DeclanLeePR]

Surely for the amount of vitriol this would create towards the GAA and GAA+ this could never been on the table for being behind a paywall - absolute madness 🤯

The biggest games should always be free to air and GAA+ should be a vehicle to cater for the other games.

[Cahair O'Kane @CahairOKane1]

This felt inevitable. RTÉ and GAA+ are looking at an impasse over who gets first pick in the All-Ireland SFC series. Both broadcasters want Kerry-Donegal. Putting it behind the paywall would be a deeply unpopular move.

It’s crazy that politicians believe they are approaching Irish sport from a position of strength.

Sport in this country has thrived despite them, not because of them and will continue long after they are gone.
