🚨🗣️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.”

@etownsbrvst433 @TrollFootball2 That logic would make sense if it was something other than red cards seeing as they are used in several sports.

@Xmusknewsx As a British person (specifically 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿) I think I can speak on behalf of the vast majority of the British population when I say that using the word dislike is one of the biggest understatements I’ve ever heard.

ITV News and the BBC referred to Omar Artan as a “Somali refugee” and “Somalia’s top refugee” instead of correctly identifying him as a professional referee.
They’re shamelessly pushing a narrative about a man who was travelling for work

Nem uma única bola rolou no gramado até agora e este é o quadro da COPA 2026:
• As equipes do Senegal e do Uzbequistão foram tratadas na chegada como criminosos, com buscas completas em seus orifícios.
• O melhor árbitro da África foi enviado de volta à Somália, apesar de seu passaporte diplomático.
• O Fotógrafo da equipe do Iraque foi impedido de entrar mesmo com visto válido.
• Foi negada a entrada nos EUA de 90% dos fãs marroquinos com ingressos já adquiridos.
• Foram recusados vistos a 14 membros da equipe de apoio do Irã.
• Foi negada a entrada no país do principal atacante da Suíça, o camaronês Breel Embolo. A equipe viajou sem ele. Após a forte repercussão, o visto foi enfim concedido.
• A equipe iraniana, cujos jogos serão todos nos EUA, foi proibida de pernoitar no país. Imediatamente a após cada partida, os atletas voarão de volta ao México, onde se hospedam.
- Qual é o sentido de sediar a Copa do Mundo se não pretendem que o MUNDO faça parte dela???

Statement from Omar Artan is far more graceful and reserved than FIFA deserves. It is a stain on this tournament that one of Africa's top officials can be blocked from the biggest month of his career.

@DissentingCat Tbf I can think of at least 3 married couples off the top of my head that I personally know that happened due to 1 of the first 3 options.
It can be done.

It’s not for everyone obviously but to say that it can’t happen is just idiotic.

A Scotland fan has spent 104 days walking 3,000 miles across the US for the World Cup, raising money for mental health

He's responding to Americans who mocked Europeans for thinking they could walk to stadiums: "Never tell a Scotsman what he can and can't do."

FULL TIME: Scotland 6-0 Israel.

A big result in Budapest, as goals from Erin Cuthbert, Lauren Davidson, Kirsty Hanson and a Caroline Weir hat-trick seals the victory.

@MYTHICGH0ST @Illusory_Ace Yeah I’m the same situation unfortunately

[MathewH186 @H186Mathew]

@AnfieldEdition Pretty sure that was the point of their post. Lose one year, win the next.

[MathewH186 @H186Mathew]

@ElizabethAlver6 @LesBlair53 Because around half of the USA voting population has 2 brain cells and they’re fighting for 3rd place among many other reasons

[MathewH186 @H186Mathew]

@CattardSlim I am so confused

[MathewH186 @H186Mathew]

@henri_fjord Can you actually do that?
Fusing 2 countries militaries together?

I get it if it’s like a west/east Germany situation decades ago but can this happen?
