Will FIFA come out to explain why this wasn’t a penalty? There’s an entire VAR team being paid to review incidents like this, were they asleep? Funny how these calls always seem to go against the smaller sides.
What has happened at the #2026WorldCup over the last 48 hours:
• Swiss footballer Embolo's visa was put under review and he was only able to join his team days later.
• Iraqi national team player Aymen Hussein was held for questioning for nearly 7 hours upon entering the United States.
• The Iranian national team spent days dealing with visa procedures at the U.S. Consulate in Türkiye. The U.S. only allowed them entry on match days. Fifteen members of the delegation were denied visas.
• Omar Abdulkadir Artan, named CAF's Best African Referee of 2025, was denied a visa. Despite travelling to the U.S. with a diplomatic passport, he was refused entry and sent back. FIFA announced that he will not be able to officiate at the tournament.
• The South African national team arrived in the United States much later than planned because part of the delegation was not granted visas.
• Members of the Senegal national team staff were forced to remove their shoes and subjected to lengthy searches, sparking accusations of racism.
• The Uzbekistan national team was searched with bomb-sniffing dogs and the footage went viral in international media.
• Some Scottish supporters, despite being eligible to enter the U.S. visa-free under the ESTA programme, had their travel authorisations revoked just days before departure.
• Many supporters who had already bought tickets and booked accommodation had their visa applications rejected, resulting in financial losses.
A 10-year-old wrote MAGA Congresswoman Virginia Foxx for a school project.
He chose to write about an electric vehicle tax credit. Something he thought was good for the environment.
Virginia responded by attacking him and his teacher for being propagandized.
Her words: “your teacher will not be able to give you a good education as they are too interested in indoctrinating you... How sad.”
An 80-year-old woman. Attacking a 10-year-old. For doing his homework.
These people have power over your life.
Corporation: "We made $4B but spent $3.9B so we only owe taxes on $100M."
Government: "Totally reasonable."
You: "I made $60K but spent $58K on survival."
Government: "You owe taxes on $60K."
You: "That's not—"
Government: "File by May 15."
One of the most cowardly acts in the history of naval warfare.
I knew a British submarine commander who was awarded the Legion of Merit (LOM) by the United States for action on behalf of the US during World War II. I can not begin to tell you how disgusted that man would have been by the actions of the US Navy and by Hegseths boasting. It's absolutely shameful.
@tedcruz This is such a childish and unserious response. Someone has a legitimate objection to the President starting a war of aggression and the response of a Senator who has been floated by his party as a SCOTUS candidate is to name call? So weak.
Oh look the government lied.
Big surprise.
Body camera footage shows Border Patrol Agent Charles Exum hitting Marimar Martinez on purpose before getting out of his car and shooting her five times.
After he shot an American unarmed teacher, he bragged about only taking five shots and causing seven holes in her body.
Bovino congratulated the agent.
This is why they will lose midterms.
They are sick, twisted and murderous and only sick twisted and murderous people will vote for these ghouls the rest of us have the assignment.

1) There is no such thing as Article II tariff power in the Constitution. It doesn't exist.
2) Why even have a Congress at this point? We're paying a parliament of pundits $7 billion annually to go on TV and explain how they refuse to do their jobs as laid out in the Constitution.
“They’re letting them play” is a nice way of saying that the referees are not doing their job of enforcing the rules.
The result is an unfair advantage to the team playing outside the rules of the game.
Veteran kicker calls the head coach: they need to get a kicker from the portal, because freshman is definitely going to burn out of college and lose his eligibility in year two.
NCAA eligibility has become detached from academics, purportedly the purpose of the institution.
I propose unlimited athletic eligibility, subject to continued academic process:
Year 1: Attend > 1 class
Year 5: Bachelor’s Degree
Year 9: Doctoral Degree
Year 15: Tenure Track
Imagine your kicker being a distinguished professor of sports management in his 25th year of athletic eligibility. He’s teaching a class and calls on the freshman kicker recruited to replace him following his retirement. Freshman has never heard the term “amateurism” before.
