Before #FIFA start pumping the propaganda tonight and telling us all how amazing this #WorldCup has been, let’s remember they oversaw:
- highest ticket prices ever and took a cut from resale sites.
- did nothing about Somalian referee and dozens of staff who were banned from entering the US for no legitimate reason.
- stood by as Iran were forced to train outside the US and travel in on match days.
- overturned red cards after phone calls with the president.
- Americanised the beautiful game with hydration (TV) breaks and 25 mins half time in the final
- guided Argentina through the tournament with less travel, VAR support and blatantly turning a blind due to their aggression and foul play.
Martinez goes off injured. He's played the full world cup no dramas and goes and fucks it in the final. Meaning we likely won't see him again until January.
As predictable as you fucking like.
Delayed kickoffs, pointless shows, breaking the rules of the games regarding the 15 minute half time, ad breaks disguised as hydration breaks.
Destroying the very core of the sport. Americans don't deserve to host anything ever again.
El día que a Antonelli lo sancionen por track limits como deberían termina la carrera con 45 segundos de penalidad. Es ridícula la onboard de ese pibe.
imagine being so excited to go see and spend time with your grandma just for her and all her village friends to hit you with the No Bitches chinese dance 😭
You can't even set most gym treadmills to the speed this guy just broke the MILE world record at. They max out around 12 to 14 mph. Josh Kerr held 16.2 mph for the entire mile today: 3:42.66, breaking a record that had survived 27 years.
The pace on this new mile record is just wild.
It works out to 13.8 seconds per 100 meters. Go sprint 100m all-out right now. If you're slower than 13.8, Kerr was moving faster than your sprint, and he did it 16 times in a row without stopping.
In 1954, Roger Bannister ran the first four-minute mile, a barrier people once argued was the limit of human physiology. Put Bannister's race on the track next to Kerr's today, and Kerr finishes while Bannister is still 110 meters back, coming off the final bend.
The man who lost the record, Hicham El Guerrouj, set it in 1999 with no pace lights and no super spikes. Beating him took 27 years of shoe technology plus a four-month engineering project Kerr named after the goal time itself. The margin: 0.47 seconds.
And El Guerrouj isn't finished. His 1500m record, set the year before on the same track, turned 28 this week. Only three men since have even broken 3:27. One record fell today. The harder one is still standing.
