@JacobsBen So we can expect the next time Aston Villa get a bad VAR call, Prince William will be on the phone to PGMOL.

🚨 Exclusive: The White House made a direct call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun’s red card.

FIFA approached for comment and referred to the findings of its independent committee.

FIFA sources insist White House influence could not affect the decision due to the powers contained in Article 27 and the independent nature of the disciplinary panel.

NEW: President Trump:
- Confirms that he intervened with FIFA
- Says his respect for FIFA invidual he spoke to has "risen tenfold"
- Accuses the referee of being "suspect"
- Says that he knows sports really well and knows it wasn't a foul
- But didn't know what a red card meant

And na neutral ground too.

No home or regional advantage for any of the big dawgs.

Pamoja AFCON. 🔥🔥🔥

Burkinabé students now need government permission to study abroad. This means that whether your father is a cabinet minister or a private millionaire, there is no way for their children to escape the state of the country's educational system

Which leaves them no choice but to make sure that the facilities available to students in the country are befitting of their own children.

That is how a country develops an actual elite. Not like Nigeria where as soon as I finished secondary school, my parents put me on a plane to England to enjoy a standard of education that no Nigerian alive today will ever enjoy in Nigeria. The class my parents belong to is called a pseudo-elite.

A proper elite is what is coming together now in the AES. Just wait. If there is no change of Nigeria's trajectory, within 10 years, Nigerians will start going to university in Burkina Faso and making it out to be a status symbol.

If you watch this and don't feel some kind of emotion then you definitely have a heart of stone. ❤️

🥹🇨🇻 All eyes on one of the most emotional moments of this World Cup.

After Cape Verde's heartbreaking elimination to world champions Argentina, one of their players broke down in tears as he was embraced by his wife and son.

He couldn't stop crying. His son couldn't stop crying. His wife couldn't stop crying. Yet in that moment, they were together.

Football is about so much more than what happens on the pitch. Win or lose, it's the people who stand beside you through every high and low that matter most.

If you do one thing today, hug your family and tell them you love them. ❤️

Hi Vozinha,

You left your mark at the World Cup. We’ll never forget you

Cape Verde finished the World Cup without losing a single game within 90 minutes 🤯

With draws against all of their opponents, including powerhouses Argentina and Spain... they can leave as legends for their country 😮‍💨

Despite going out to Argentina after extra time, Cape Verde can hold their heads high as the World's new favourite nation 👏

Happy July 4, America.
Our accents are better, your beer’s too cold, it’s football not soccer & cricket’s more exciting than baseball..but you’re the second-best country in the world and I love our Special Relationship, not least because you’re all historically British. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

🥳 Happy 50th birthday to Ruud Van Nistelrooy, arguably Manchester United and Real Madrid's most natural goalscorer of all-time.

He was absolutely elite at finding the back of the net.

🗣️ Sir Alex Ferguson: "Without doubt the best finisher we have ever had."

🗣️ René Meulensteen: "Ruud was born to score. He was relentless in the quest for perfection."

🗣️ Raúl: "Playing alongside Ruud makes everything easier. He always knows where the goal is."

🗣️ Fabio Cannavaro: "Training against Ruud every day, you realise why he scores so many goals. He never gives defenders a second to relax."

🗣️ Iker Casillas: "For a goalkeeper, Ruud was one of the most difficult strikers to face because he could finish with either foot, with his head, from any angle."

[Ben Jacobs @JacobsBen]

Ronald Koeman has resigned following the Netherlands World Cup exit to Paraguay.🇳🇱

🗣️ “I decided last night that it is time to step down as head coach of the Netherlands. We all shared the dream of making history at this World Cup, but we fell short. No one is more disappointed by that than I am. As head coach, the responsibility ultimately rests with me.”
