If you're more mad at Scousers booing 'God Save the Queen' than you are at the actual Queen using £12m of your money to pay off her nonce son's victim, you need to have a word with yourself.
@k_emerine@FIFAWorldCup Too many players play in the 10. We got criticised last couple of years for playing players out of position (Foden wide) just to have them on the field & it’s not worked. Foden tbf has had a poor season. Jude is the 10, Rogers is the backup. Henderson going was a disgrace though
Tickets bought this morning and I tell you what those England players are on thin ice with me putting me in a panic during the first half #FIFAWorldCup
@IHateSoccerPod It’s a no brainer but FIFA would do something stupid like have groups of 8 or something like that. Top 4 go through but you wouldnt play everyone etc.
🚨 WORLD CUP 2026 SCANDAL! 🇲🇽🇨🇦🇺🇸
VINICIUS JR’S GOAL HAS BEEN DISALLOWED BECAUSE VAR SAYS THERE IS A FOUL! 😳
🇧🇷 Brazil 1-0 Scotland 🏴

Love how when his team scores and has a chance he’s throwing his arms in the air trying to get the crowd going but when they were getting outplayed he couldn’t have cared less. What a pudding #FIFAWorldCup
That’s an atrocious question from Gary Neville. A football man asking if R9 was even at the 2002 World Cup. Think about it Gary. Think of the World Cup final you pudding #FIFAWorldCup
@Kevin_Kinkead The only pundit that doesn’t say the team he played for. He says ‘Serie A’ because he wants people to assume it’s Juve, AC, Inter, Roma etc. Far more American pundits who came to Europe, had solid careers and been respected for what they did
And then yesterday you have the Ivory Coast GK down on the 21st minute, players trying to get a drink, the ref telling them no, delayed restart, 30 seconds of play and then time for the hydration break. Borin ‘ell FIFA
Hydration breaks are an absolute scam. You’ve got teams making subs on the 66th minute taking up a minute, then we get 30 seconds of play, then a 3 minute hydration break, then inevitably after a few minutes back in play we start getting the rest of the subs 😴😴😴 #FIFAWorldCup
🚨🗣️New: Jamie Carragher reacts to Japan vs. Tunisia stoppage for TV commercials:
“I’ve spent my entire life in this beautiful game — as a player at the highest level, as a fan, and now as someone who analyses it every week — and what unfolded during that Japan versus Tunisia match left me deeply frustrated. The fourth official standing there on the touchline, arm raised high, instructing the referee to hold the restart… not for any injury, not for tactical reasons, and not even primarily for player hydration in that scorching heat. No. It was because the broadcast team hadn’t finished airing all their commercials. That’s not football. That’s a television show pretending to be a World Cup match.
The beautiful game is being strangled by greed. Players are out there in the heat, ready to restart, momentum building like a storm about to break — and we pause everything so the sponsors can cash in. It’s like stopping a symphony mid-crescendo because the advertisers want their jingle heard. Football didn’t conquer the world by turning into American sports with endless timeouts and ad breaks. We had rhythm, flow, and emotion that flowed like a river. Now? It’s dammed up for dollars.
This isn’t about hydration or player welfare anymore — it’s a slippery slope where the soul of the game is sold piece by piece. Fans deserve better. Players deserve better. The referee on that pitch looked like a puppet on strings controlled from some broadcast truck. Enough is enough. We need to protect what made this sport the greatest on Earth before it disappears completely.”
The World Cup should be football’s cathedral. Instead, we’re turning it into a shopping mall with a pitch in the middle.
And here’s the question nobody wants to answer: if the fourth official is waiting for commercials, then who is really running the game? FIFA? The referee? Or the broadcasters?
Because the moment football starts asking advertisers for permission before asking the players, you’ve crossed a line.
The World Cup is supposed to be the showcase of football. Not the showcase of who paid the most for airtime.”
100%. I’m okay having more teams making it the World Cup even if that means some lesser teams getting HOWEVER of you can’t win a group game you don’t deserve to qualify to the knockouts
Although I hate the idea of ‘Group P’
Unpopular opinion : si on ne revient pas à 32 équipes pour la Coupe du monde (et la FIFA n'y reviendra pas), alors il faut monter à 64 équipes. Pour une seule raison ; supprimer cette hérésie de meilleurs troisièmes qui déséquilibre la compétition.
