O comentarista suíço David Lemos, encerrou a transmissão resumindo com precisão os problemas desta Copa do Mundo, ele foi perfeito.

🗣️"Não há dúvidas de que esta foi a Copa do Mundo mais comercial da história e também uma das mais politizadas."

"Não esqueceremos os preços que pessoas sem grande poder aquisitivo tiveram de pagar para viver sua paixão pelo futebol."

"Em alguns casos, sequer puderam entrar no país por causa de sua nacionalidade, fossem torcedores, jornalistas ou até árbitros, como o somali Omar Artan."

"Também lembramos do tratamento inaceitável dado à seleção do Irã, que não pôde defender suas chances de forma adequada durante o torneio."

"E há ainda o caso de Folarin Balogun. Vimos um presidente se vangloriar de ter ligado para o presidente da FIFA para conseguir retirar a suspensão de um jogador."

"A política se infiltrou no coração do futebol, embora a FIFA afirme querer mantê-la acima de tudo. Fica claro que isso só vale até certo ponto."

"Foi uma Copa do Mundo em que todas as partidas foram disputadas em quatro tempos, e cuja final teve um intervalo de quase 30 minutos."

"A crise tem dois nomes: dinheiro e poder. Hoje existe uma crise de confiança entre muitos dos envolvidos no futebol e a FIFA."

"Nas próximas semanas, muito dinheiro será distribuído a diversas federações e a muitos agentes do futebol, que serão educadamente convidados a permanecer em silêncio."

"Esperamos que tudo isso seja levado em consideração e que não volte a acontecer."

I can't breathe the air, I can't eat lettuce, I can't afford gas, and my kids have measles. But at least now our soldiers will have enough testosterone.

[Dr. Catharine Young @DrCatharineY]

A reminder of what we’re witnessing:

• Measles is surging
• Cyclospora has reached record levels
• New World screwworm has returned after nearly 60 years

Investing in science, surveillance, and public health is far less costly than responding to a crisis.

[Max Kozlov @maxdkozlov]

NEW in @Nature: This is now the largest Cyclospora outbreak in US history. But CDC's parasite surveillance team was slashed from 11 people to 3 last year.

Joel Barratt, who ran the team, worries the CDC doesn't have the staffing to stop the outbreak quickly.

Sen. @Ossoff: Who won the 2020 election?

DNI nominee Jay Clayton: I'm not going to do this with you

Ossoff: This is a job interview. You have an obligation to be honest with the committee.

Clayton: I'm not gonna get into that with you

Ossoff: You refuse to answer a basic question about who won a presidential election, but you ask to lead America's intelligence community. Isn't it humiliating to be unable to answer this question? To have to indulge the president's delusions?

This is the year 2026. One might have hoped that, after thousands of years of war, humanity could have come up with a better way to resolve conflicts than killing and mass destruction. Unfortunately, that is not the case.  There is now more war and bloodshed raging across the world than at almost any point in decades.

In February 2022, Vladimir Putin, without provocation, invaded Ukraine. The result: hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians killed, millions displaced and a war that grinds on with no end in sight.

In October 2023, Hamas attacked Israel, killing 1,200 innocent people and taking 251 hostages. In response, Netanyahu and the Israeli military did not simply wage war against Hamas — they waged war against the entire population of Gaza. At least 73,000 Palestinians have been killed, the real toll almost certainly far higher, most of them women, children and the elderly. Virtually the entire physical infrastructure of Gaza has been destroyed. I agree with the major human rights organizations around the world who call this a genocide.

Four months ago, in collusion with Netanyahu, Trump took a page from Putin's playbook: he started a war with Iran without provocation. The result of this war (and the ensuing Israeli war against Lebanon): 13 U.S. service members dead, thousands of Iranian and Lebanese civilians killed and more than $100 billion in U.S. taxpayer dollars spent.

And in the midst of all of this — Ukraine, Gaza, Iran — there is another horrific war happening now that is getting relatively little attention: the civil war and genocide in Sudan.

Sudan's two rival military factions, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), the country's national army, and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group, have been at war since 2023. The RSF descends from the Janjaweed militias that carried out Sudan's first genocide in Darfur two decades ago, killing as many as 400,000 non-Arab civilians. Today, the RSF is trying to finish what it started. The State Department has formally determined that the RSF is committing genocide, again, murdering men and boys and systematically raping women and girls because of their ethnicity. Last October, the RSF laid siege to the city of El-Fasher; in just the first three days after it fell, an estimated 6,000 people were killed. Right now, the same horror is unfolding in the city of El-Obeid, where nearly half a million people are trapped.

Let’s be clear. Trump’s good friend and staunch U.S. ally, the United Arab Emirates dictatorship, run by one of the wealthiest families in the world — has financed and enabled this genocide for years. And why is this happening? Billions of dollars of looted gold from Sudan is flowing straight into the pockets of Emirati oligarchs – making a multibillionaire family even richer. This has been documented by the United Nations, independent journalists, and international human rights organizations.

Here is the scale of what this war has caused: at least 59,000 people confirmed killed since 2023, with credible estimates running as high as 150,000. Fourteen million people driven from their homes. Thirty million people, two–thirds of Sudan's population, in need of emergency humanitarian assistance just to survive.

U.S. foreign policy must be based on a respect for democracy and human rights. We cannot be complicit in the face of genocide, no matter where it is happening. Congress must demand that the UAE cease its military support for the RSF and work with the international community and the Sudanese people to bring an end to this horrific conflict and provide the humanitarian aid that is desperately needed there.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya ran one of Gaza's last hospitals. He refused to leave his patients even after Israel killed his own son in a drone strike.

Israel kidnapped him for it. 18 months in detention, tortured and beaten, for the crime of running a hospital.

He must be released.

EL ROBO MÁS GRANDE EN LA HISTORIA DE LOS MUNDIALES https://t.co/SBorXcWXP8

[Daron Acemoglu @DAcemogluMIT]

The World Cup was shaping up to be a spectacular success for the United States. The hospitality the country provided to the teams and fans was exemplary. The interest from American fans dwarfed the interest seen when the USA last hosted the World Cup in 1994. The matches throughout the US, Canada and Mexico were energizing, showing why this is the beautiful game. And the US team played exciting, dynamic soccer (football), demonstrating that they are up to the task of taking on even the best in the game.

Then, it all got ruined.

Not by the fact that the USA lost Belgium 4-1. That can happen to the best teams in the world. No, it was ruined, perhaps predictably, by President Trump, interfering and trying to reverse the one-match automatic suspension for the American player Folarin Balogun after he received a red card in the round of 32 game against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

We will never know for sure whether it was pressure from Trump that reversed the decision, but this is what Trump has claimed. In any case, the decision to postpone Balogun’s one-match automatic ban by one year is completely unprecedented. Something looks fishy. The track record of FIFA and its president Gianni Infantino does not give anybody much confidence that this was a decision made on objective grounds, without interference.

What is sad and dangerous is that President Trump’s repeated disregard for rules and institutions is having an effect in every domain. It has further polarized US politics, damaged US democratic institutions, significantly hampered global cooperation, and made security and peace more tenuous around the world.

Now, it is poisoning the beautiful game.

As in democracy, once you damage the institutions of world soccer (football), and the trust that people have in the effectiveness and impartiality of these institutions, the consequences will be long-lasting.

Say what you will about Trump. He is consistent – consistently corrosive to the institutions our future depends on.

[Daniel Dale @ddale8]

Greenland isn’t surrounded by Chinese and Russian ships. There hasn’t been $19.2 trillion invested in the US under Trump. Trump hasn’t settled eight wars. Biden’s military aid to Ukraine wasn’t worth hundreds of billions of dollars. The 2020 election wasn’t rigged.
