New Post 📝'A Love Letter to FIFA : Road to World Cup 98' ❤️

For my friendship group, 1st generation British born kids, RTWC 98 provided a window to a world which lay beyond our neighborhood

Total farce. You did big boy corruption then brag about it? @TheCountrAttack we need some sort of explainer here!?

Trump on Balogun: "I saw the play, and I'm a person that loves sports ... that wasn't a foul. That wasn't even an infraction ... this referee, who is a little bit suspect if you check his past. He made a call that nobody could believe ... he's our best player, or one of our best players. And he gave him a red card. I didn't know what that meant ... yes, I asked for a review by FIFA."

@Ajarncom Any plans for there to be a more permanent solution for those working in Thailand? the gulf states (for example, visa tied to job and auto renew unless you're unemployed).

@danielbuxton16 @WhatTheForkAVFC Uighur? Han Chinese? Zhuan? Which one?

@Visita061144 @Steve_Laws_ Have a day off. Big game against Mexico up next.

You guys watch too much interracial porn so have this weird fear / admiration of black men and the 'damage' they do.

@danielbuxton16 @WhatTheForkAVFC Soooo. Pickford is the only real Englishman? 😭😂

What does a Moroccan actually look like? What does an English man look like? Who decides what they look like?

@NaomiSky_15 Have a day off. We've got a game to win here. Serious business

[FootballxSociety @FootballSoc_]

@GE_Tesarkee Have a day off, we've got a game to win.

@ahoworth97 This is about politics. Nketiah and his agents will know that the optics of this will go down well locally in 🇬🇭 and with FA stakeholders (especially in light of his inevitable nationality switch). He's been pictured at Ghana games, this is the next step

[FootballxSociety @FootballSoc_]

@WeAre_UK @Punkylass They're not good enough. Simple answer

Maybe we need DEI for white English players 😭😂

@Aningdesigns The GFA must protect itself.

If he's found guilty...IF...this looks highly risky.

He's in the team. But why risk the GFA reputation by putting him in graphics. Irresponsible

[FootballxSociety @FootballSoc_]

@DoubleEph @OBEhizele Folks, as much as he's a reminder some private school archetype what he espouses does have consequences, nationally. Let's not 'hes just one of the old boys' and wave this away.

@TennisSweater @hpmcd1 What has that go to do with his quality/value as an analyst? This isn't the first time he's been called out (tbh, he revels in his role).

His whole Americana schtick is wearing thin though and it's about time. 2022 Fox coverage was widely panned.

@healsgoodjack @ScottishFA This wasn't racism. Just to be clear.

Poor treatment, prejudice no doubt.

[FootballxSociety @FootballSoc_]

@TheCountrAttack How were Ecuador soooooo wasteful. Glaring issue before the tournament and even more so.

[FootballxSociety @FootballSoc_]

@Blobster81 @EricMGarcia @franifio 2 goals at a world cup baby

[FootballxSociety @FootballSoc_]

@TheCountrAttack LOL...I woke up and saw this tweet and thought...WTF 😒🤣😭

@TheAmz2017 @PaulSpacey @TheAthletic @HenryBushnell So you misquote the article then say I've failed to read between the lines?

No one said the team is powerful BECAUSE of race (no one)

The USSF has done a decent job of pulling in a wider pool of talent ( than what it used to be which was white, college system players)

[FootballxSociety @FootballSoc_]

@TheAmz2017 @PaulSpacey @TheAthletic @HenryBushnell 'The makeup of the team is powerful' That's the quote.

Not

'they're powerful because they're black'

Big difference.
