Keep in mind that Trump‘s persistent delusion and propaganda that 2020 was stolen is essential pretext to his attempting to interfere in the midterms and 2028. He’s been laying that ground since the day he was reelected. Wake up.
Football fans (on here) don't care who you sign these days, they just want to see massive fees spent so they can say they "won the transfer window" before a ball is even kicked. Mental.
Liverpool "won the transfer window" last summer. Look how that worked out.
"FIFA are telling you to not believe what you've seen because they've got something else instead...are we stupid now?"
@kickback_nedum isn't convinced by FIFA's non-explanation on England's first goal

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Manchester United in advanced talks to sign Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa. All parties in contact as #MUFC try to finalise - 29yo midfielder keen on move. Ederson deal off for now; #MUFC may look to revisit later this summer @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/KbWwD1jxov
Many foreigners are coming down hard on Alexander Sørloth, but very few Norwegians. We know he’s a truly great guy, and a selfless player. He is looking and searching for the right angle for the pass, gets a bad touch and doesn’t find it. John Stones does a superb job.

There are 18 members of FIFA's disciplinary committee but the unprecedented decision to lift Balogun's automatic ban was taken by just one person - the chairman Mohammad Al Kamali of UAE. No one else was consulted.

Infantile says the World Cup should be there “for the whole world, not just Europe and South America”…and I’m sure it’s just an amazing coincidence that he’s just been secured the votes for the next presidency from federations not in Europe or South America. Anyone who says differently is WOKE obvs.
The four semifinalists in this WC are from South America and Europe.
Match för match förvandlas VM till mer domslutsobduktion med miljardpublik.
Skälet är VAR. Som fortfarande inte fungerar.
När Norge åkte ut mot England fick vi ännu ett bra exempel på hur löftet om objektiv rättvisa skapar en helt ohållbar situation.

Da oppsummerer vi: VAR ble innført i fotball for å korrigere det som var clear and obvious. I en kvartfinale i VM tar de ikke/kan ikke ta det som ER clear and obvious, regelbruddet foran 1-1. De tar derimot en situasjon vi finner ca 30 av i hver kamp uten at det blir dømt.
Jeg har delvis snudd i VAR-spørsmålet. Det er klart vi må forberede landslaget på et totalt uberegnelig, forvirrende og kanskje korrupt system der de største lagene tilfeldigvis får avgjørelsene til sin fordel. Heia fotball!
The goal kick hit a camera wire in the buildup to Jude Bellingham's equalizing goal right before halftime 😯
There was no VAR check on the play and Norway couldn't believe it 😳
Watching some MAGA accounts cheer for Norway and Haaland is absolute cinema.🎦 🇳🇴
They seem to see a 6’5” blond Viking and assume he’s some kind of ideological soulmate.
Meanwhile, Norway is one of the strongest examples of a successful social democracy in the world, and Haaland has publicly supported anti-racism campaigns throughout his career.
It’s another reminder that people often project their own politics onto athletes instead of paying attention to who they actually are. And it’s ridiculous, funny and shocking a bit, but not much at the same time.
