Here’s a few quick photos from todays game from my phone. Shame I didn’t have my professional camera with me. Such a great game and a beautiful atmosphere! Met some lovely people in the south stand as well! #COYS#THFC@SpursOfficial
The most emotion Keir Starmer has shown is over losing his job, not enabling the genocide of the Palestinian people.
Good riddance.
His next stop should be The Hague.
Keir Starmer could have ended child poverty, homelessness and the grotesque levels of inequality in this country.
Instead, he abandoned those in need, destroyed our civil liberties and facilitated genocide in Gaza.
That is how this Prime Minister will be remembered - and that is the legacy of moral and political bankruptcy he leaves behind.
The crises in our society are not going away. Neither are we - and we will keep fighting for a more equal, peaceful and dignified society for all.
Iran is the most disadvantaged team at the World Cup. FIFA should have ensured they were treated the same as any other team.
Football is about fairness.
@ThfcAk@sportbible I’m not a Man Utd fan but Rooney was absolute class
He came onto the scene as a teenager and was unreal
He lost his pace as he got older and played as a No10, his passing and vision was brilliant
Rooney could play anywhere on the pitch
Wonderful footballer
🚨🚨🚨🚨🏴🗣️ جديد: غاريث بيل يعلق على مباراة الأرجنتين ضد الجزائر وحادثة ميسي:🇦🇷
“لقد قضيت وقتًا كافيًا في هذه اللعبة لأعرف متى لا تشعر الأمور بأنها صحيحة. مباراة الأرجنتين ضد الجزائر لم تكن مجرد مباراة مجموعة أخرى. ميسي سجل هاتريك، والأرجنتين فازت بسهولة، وسوف تركز العناوين على ذلك. لكن ما حدث حول الدقيقة 30 روى قصة أكبر عن الاتجاه الذي يتجه إليه كرة القدم.
ميسي دخل على قائد الجزائر. براغي الأحذية مرفوعة، مباشرة عبر الساق ونازلة نحو وتر أخيل. في الوقت الفعلي بدت سيئة. في الحركة البطيئة بدت أسوأ. هذا بطاقة حمراء في معظم الأيام، ضد معظم اللاعبين، في معظم البطولات. الحكم وفار شيها نظرة واضحة. اختاروا عدم التدخل.
أنا لست هنا لأضيف الوزر على المسؤولين. لن أريد أن أكون الرجل الذي يظهر بطاقة حمراء لميسي في كأس العالم ويؤدي ربما إلى تعطيل مرحلة المجموعات للأرجنتين. الحرارة التي ستأتي مع ذلك القرار هي شيء لا يسجل أي حكم فيه بسهولة. لكن هذا بالضبط المشكلة. عندما يبدأ الخوف من العواقب في التأثير على ما يحدث على الملعب، تتوقف اللعبة عن أن تُقرر من قبل اللاعبين والقوانين.
هذه كأس العالم هي بالفعل النسخة الأكثر تجاريًا التي رأيناها. المباريات متوقفة لاستراحات التلفزيون، وتوقفات إضافية مُقنَّعة باسم رفاهية اللاعبين بينما يعرف الجميع أنها عن إدراج المزيد من الإعلانات. الآن نرى قرارات تحكيمية تحمي أكبر الأسماء وأكبر القصص لأن إسقاط الأرجنتين مبكرًا في المجموعات سيؤذي السرد الذي بنته فيفا والبثيين.
ماذا يحدث لـ‘السيناريو’ إذن؟ بطل الدفاع المفقود قبل مرحلة خروج المغلوب. ميسي يغيب عن المباريات. الرعاة وحاملو الحقوق فجأة يشاهدون استثمارهم يفقد الزخم. المنتج الذي أنفقوا مليارات لتغليفه يبدو فجأة مختلفًا جدًا.
لقد لعبْت في بطولات كبرى. أعرف كم من المال والضغط يقف خلف كل قرار الآن. لكن كرة القدم كانت لها إيقاع وروح تأتي من عدم اليقين. لم تكن تعرف أبدًا ما الذي سيأتي بعد ذلك. عندما يبدأ حماية المصالح التجارية وإبقاء النجوم على الملعب في تجاوز حوادث البطاقات الحمراء الواضحة، تتآكل تلك الروح قليلاً أكثر.
اللعبة تستحق أفضل من هذا. اللاعبون يستحقون تطبيق القواعد بنفس الطريقة كل مرة. الجماهير تستحق مشاهدة رياضة لا تخاف من نتائجها الخاصة. إذا استمررنا في السماح للمال والسرديات بأن تحدد ما نراه على الملعب، فإننا لن نشاهد كرة القدم بعد الآن. نحن نشاهد عرضًا يحدث أن يكون فيه كرة.”

🚨 Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly speaking facts:
"Africans can’t have their people" at the World Cup because of US travel bans.
Every other team gets their fans. But Global South teams like Senegal get blocked while the West lectures everyone about "inclusion" and "human rights".
This is the same empire that bombs, exploits, and restricts — then cries when others resist.
Football should unite people, not separate them with racist visa policies and double standards.
Stand with Koulibaly. Stand with the fans. Stand with the Global South.
No bows. Just raw truth. 💪🏿🇸🇳
@TheCellsView Your wages to revenue ratio is 96% (was shown on sky sports check it)
Ours is 42%
It’s not just about revenue but how you use it
Your owners took a big gamble by paying high wages but you will still have to sell to buy it significantly reduce your wage bill
Everyone loves to banter spurs
Sure we’ve finished 17th the last 2 seasons but we won the Europa league
However, Brighton will always be a selling club
You’ve never won a major trophy in your ENTIRE history
You last reached the FA Cup final in 1983 and lost to Man Utd
Bloke wanted to leave us for Champions League football apparently… fancy going to Spurs, got more chance of playing Championship football than Champions League football with them 😂
Wrong
Spurs have punched above their weight for a long time compared to the big 6
Smaller wages and not spending as much either
Went 2 full transfer windows without spending
Villa’s owners took a big gamble by offering players high wages which they are now suffering with PSR.
It’s why football will slowly die out.
You’ve got Villa and Newcastle absolutely huge clubs and arguably on a par with Spurs, playing in Europe regularly not able to spend, but Spurs can finish x2 17th and spend what they want.
Same with Man United.
Broken system
في قطار بلندن، قالت امرأة لشاب مسلم من أصول عربية: "عُد إلى بلدك، المغرب أو تونس."
فأجابها بأنه بريطاني ويعمل طبيبًا في هيئة الصحة الوطنية.
سألها إن كانت بريطانية، فلم ترد وهددته بإبلاغ الأمن.
الشرطة اعتقلتها، ليتبين أنها هندوسية ولا تحمل الجنسية البريطانية أصلًا، فتم ترحيلها.
Amir Ghalenoei, técnico da Seleção do Irã, após o empate contra a Nova Zelândia: ''Somos a seleção mais oprimida da história da Copa'.
"Nem nós sabemos [porque vamos ter que sair] e é realmente engraçado. O planejamento da nossa equipe é feito em um lugar, mas a decisão final é tomada em outro. Deveríamos ter vindo para Los Angeles duas noites antes do jogo, mas não permitiram. Nosso plano era ficar aqui esta noite, descansar e voltar amanhã à tarde, mas mesmo assim não permitiram, e eu não sei por quê.
É por isso que digo que a seleção iraniana é talvez a mais oprimida da história da Copa do Mundo. O presidente da federação não está aqui, o gerente da equipe não está aqui, o gerente interno da equipe não está aqui, o departamento de mídia não está aqui. Parte das responsabilidades pré-jogo que deveriam ser da diretoria ficaram a cargo da comissão técnica, enquanto o foco da comissão técnica deveria ser em questões técnicas. É por isso que digo que somos a seleção mais oprimida da história da Copa do Mundo."

Iran v. New Zealand ended around 8pm here in Los Angeles.
At 10:07pm, Iran players were on a bus bound for the airport, where they'd fly back to Tijuana. World Cup organizers wouldn't let them stay and recover.
“Everything is like a disaster for us," Mehdi Taremi said.
🚨 EXCL: Tottenham Hotspur reach agreement with Brighton & Hove Albion to sign Jan Paul van Hecke. Deal for 26yo #Netherlands int’l worth £52m fixed, no add-ons. Luka Vuskovic situation separate; 2nd #BHAFC offer worth £35m rejected by #THFC@TheAthleticFC https://t.co/1D4yy6dJp3
🚨 Tottenham agree deal to sign Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton, here we go! 💣
New defender wanted by De Zerbi joining on £52m deal, agreement club to club done after player accepted #THFC conditions last week.
All done and Vuskovic separate case, as @David_Ornstein reports.
Iran came from behind twice to draw 2-2 against New Zealand.
To some people, it’s just a draw.
But after everything this team has been through, it felt like a victory.
Traveling from Mexico to the USA just to play, then having to make the long trip back home. Carrying the weight of politics, pressure, and years of tension with the USA, yet still finding a way to focus on football.
They went behind once and fought back. They went behind again and fought back again.
That is the spirit of this Iran team. Tonight, Iran didn’t just earn a point.
They earned respect. 🇮🇷❤️
