Been lucky in our lifetime to see the best of the best atheletes, Roger, Rafa, Novak, CR7, Messi, Bolt, Kohli, Hamilton, so many more ๐
End of an era approaching fast
Deschamps has brashly taken all of his best players and fashioned them into the most lethal attacking unit in world football, sure.
But do they have the squad balance, leadership and cohesion provided by the likes of Dan Burn, Jordan Henderson and Anthony Gordon? I think not.
๐จ Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly speaking facts:
"Africans canโt have their people" at the World Cup because of US travel bans.
Every other team gets their fans. But Global South teams like Senegal get blocked while the West lectures everyone about "inclusion" and "human rights".
This is the same empire that bombs, exploits, and restricts โ then cries when others resist.
Football should unite people, not separate them with racist visa policies and double standards.
Stand with Koulibaly. Stand with the fans. Stand with the Global South.
No bows. Just raw truth. ๐ช๐ฟ๐ธ๐ณ
Feel for Ronaldo, the pro and perfectionist he is, really trying to go one better than Messi but the legs and age aren't there for the hunt anymore. It's the end
Lionel Messi became the oldest player ever to score multiple goals at a #FIFAWorldCup match at 38 years, 357 days ๐ฎโ๐จ
Just check out this hat-trick...
Qatar at NO point banned gays from entering their country.
They just said, public display of affection between anyone including straight people was frowned upon.
The US is systematically targeting anyone that isn't white.
Not a single peep from those anti-Qatar activist ๐
When it was Qatar 2022 BBC, Sky News and ITV News were doing segments for 40 days and 40 nights about human rights abuse and campaigning for alcohol to be allowed during the World Cup. But USA is refusing to allow a referee and Iranโs team in and theyโve gone quiet. Cowards
So far at the 2026 FIFA Epstein Cup before a ball kicked:
- Senegal & Uzbekistan squads treated like criminals upon arrival given full cavity searches;
- Africaโs best referee sent back to Somalia despite having a diplomatic passport;
- Iraq team photographer sent back despite valid visa;
- AIPS (international sport journalist association) calling on FIFA to sort out unacceptable visa issues of African & Iranian journalists;
- 90% of Moroccan fans with tickets denied entry
- 14 members of Iran backroom staff denied visas
Not a word from Gianni โtoday I feel black/gay/disabled etcโ Infantino.
What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.
The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.

Pep Guardiola is much more than just an unbelievable manager.
He spoke up for the people of Palestine, Sudan and Congo while others looked away.
Pep used his platform to defend our shared humanity. That will never be forgotten. Thank you, Pep.
