He’s probably pretty pissed at the missed opportunity of Gates-Gate. https://t.co/Urt6AwuYTd

[Ariel Edwards-Levy @aedwardslevy]

do you think Gates is going to be mad that everyone's calling it the "Manafort/Gates" indictment and not "Gates/Manafort"

@Hasschami It’s not so much luck as it is every single card being stacked against us by a corrupt organization and a corrupt host country.

As a relentlessly positive and devoted fan of Team Melli since basically birth, I made the foolish mistake to believe that our teams efforts, skill and drive would be enough this time around. Alas, politics, crooks, and a corrupt host country combined with @FIFAcom robbed them.

🚨 Jürgen Klopp Questions Controversial VAR Call That Broke Iran's Hearts Against Egypt

🗣“This isn't really about tactics or the quality of the football anymore. The only thing everyone will be talking about is the decision to disallow Iran's late goal.

At a World Cup, every decision carries enormous weight. If VAR is going to overturn a goal in a moment like that, it has to be based on clear, undeniable evidence. I don't think we saw that here.

The toughest part is what it did to the players and the supporters. They believed they had scored the goal that would send them into the Round of 16. They celebrated, they lived that moment, and then it was taken away.

VAR was introduced to remove obvious mistakes, not to leave millions of people arguing over whether the right decision was made. If there's still this much uncertainty after watching the replays, then something has gone wrong.

I feel for Iran because moments like these can define a generation. At the biggest tournament in football, everyone deserves decisions that are beyond doubt.”

Whats strange about soccer: It employs absurd mathematical precision to police offsides, a rule that mostly matters in spirit rather than in strict application. (You just don't want cherrypicking) But its extremely casual about timekeeping, whose literal application matters a ton

🚨 Zlatan Ibrahimović: “Iran Were Robbed. Football Owes Them an Apology.”

“People will celebrate Egypt qualifying, and they deserve credit because they fought until the final whistle. But if we are honest with ourselves, Iran were robbed of a moment that could have changed everything.

I watched that match from start to finish. Iran played with courage, intensity and belief. They stood toe-to-toe with one of Africa’s strongest sides, and when they finally thought they had found the winning goal, the celebrations exploded… only for VAR to silence an entire nation seconds later.

Football is cruel, I know that better than most. But sometimes it is not about losing—it’s about feeling like destiny was taken from your hands. Iran left everything on that pitch. They pressed, they defended with heart, they attacked without fear, and they never looked like a team that deserved to walk away with only one point.

People will remember Egypt reaching the Round of 32. I will remember the Iranian players collapsing to the turf after that disallowed goal. That image tells the real story of the night. They believed they had written history, and in an instant it disappeared.

Whether the decision was technically correct or not, football isn’t only about rules—it is also about emotions. Iran deserved better. They deserved to celebrate that moment, or at the very least, they deserved to leave knowing they were beaten by football, not by controversy.

Sometimes the scoreboard doesn’t tell you who truly won the respect of the world. Last night, Iran earned mine.”

Thierry Henry on the VAR decision that denied Iran a last-minute winner against Egypt:

🗣️ “I genuinely feel sick for the Iranian players. They believed they had written one of the greatest moments in their country's football history, only for it to be ripped away in seconds. That's a pain no footballer should experience.”

“You cannot ask players to give everything for ninety minutes and then allow a decision like this to define their World Cup. If VAR is overturning goals of this magnitude, it has to be absolutely flawless. There is no room for doubt.”

“Look at the faces of the players, look at the supporters in the stands. Those weren't just tears over a goal—they were tears over a dream that disappeared in an instant. That's what makes this so heartbreaking.”

“This isn't just about Iran anymore. Every nation at this World Cup should be worried because if a moment like this can happen on football's biggest stage, it can happen to anyone. That's a frightening thought.”

“The officials will move on to the next game, but the Iranian players and their supporters will carry this moment for the rest of their lives. Some scars in football never truly heal.”

“If that decision was wrong, then football has failed Iran. A World Cup should be remembered for unforgettable goals and heroic performances not for a controversy that leaves millions wondering what might have been.”

@TouchlineX By the letter of the law, maybe, but what a ridiculous rule. There's no way that's offside. Iran were robbed

Doug Ford says he returned the $30 million jet.
Won't show the receipts. Won't release the paperwork. Won't prove it actually happened. What is he hiding?

Thank you to Google co-founder Sergey Brin
and his girlfriend, Gerelyn Gilbert-Soto, who wore the Lion and Sun at the Met Gala last night. This is a powerful act of solidarity with the Iranian people and the cause of a free Iran.
