I'm glad the other footballing governing bodies like UEFA & CONCACAFare taking a stand against FIFA preposterous attempt at selling the world cup to Tr*mps possey, but let's not kid ourselves by painting any of them in an angelic light because they're all as corrupt as eachother
Before Argentina vs England, they were talking like the game was already over. “Put Messi to sleep.” “We’re better player for player.” “We’ll score at least two.”
Then the whistle blew… and they got a football lesson. 🇦🇷😂
@OginiSolomon Cristiano Ronaldo. His suspension corruptly lifted when he had two more games to go, and he never actually defeats Crotia based on all video evidence in this last World Cup.
We have evidence of the other player you were trying to throw shade at PERFORMING at the highest levels.
@dw_sports Your statement is dishonest.
1st of all, Embolo's red card was correct and should have been given without the need for VAR.
2nd: IFAB is clarifying ambiguities, not apologizing, and deems FIFA's (consistent) interpretation of the rule as "well received" and to be made official.
🚨 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: The Croatian FA (HNS) are set to back UEFA's opposition to FIFA's proposal to open the commercial rights of the World Cup to private investment.
HNS believe "football belongs to the people and the fans, not private capital," and would support any UEFA-led boycott if one is announced.

I hate it when people suggest that players who came through La Masia "had it easy". As if its not the best and most competitive academy in the world where only a few from each generation succeed in the first team. Do people realize how good you have to be to get into 1st team at Barcelona lol
@ThaiFootballs Looking back here, it's really pissing me off when they called an out-of-form Quang Hai from France and didn't bother to use Van Quyet despite his performance against Myanmar or the friendly against Phillipines before the tournament
Ils ont la haine de voir un noir en Argentine car toutes leur théorie d’attardés viennent de tomber à l’eau ptdrrrrrrrrrr bienvenue dans la famille KIKI ❤️
People, especially Africans, mocked AFCON throughout the World Cup because of Messi.
😂😂I don't want to hear any outrage when European media starts doing the same a few years from now.
Cristiano Ronaldo fans have spent years calling every Messi trophy “rigged” or “controversial.”
Meanwhile, they conveniently forget:
• 2007–08 Premier League: Man United’s title-clinching match was surrounded by major refereeing controversy.
• 2013 Ballon d’Or: FIFA extended the voting deadline after the original deadline had expired, creating one of the most controversial Ballon d’Or awards ever.
• 2015–16 Champions League: Real Madrid’s only goal in the final was offside. Referee Mark Clattenburg later admitted it should never have counted.
• 2016–17 Champions League: Bayern had Vidal wrongly sent off, Casemiro escaped a second yellow, and Ronaldo scored from offside positions in extra time.
• 2017–18 Champions League: The stoppage-time penalty against Juventus remains heavily debated, and Marcelo later admitted Bayern should have had a penalty for his handball in the semifinal.
Yet we’re supposed to believe every trophy Messi wins is controversial while these moments are ignored?
You don’t get to scream “robbery” only when it suits your narrative.
If controversial decisions invalidate trophies, then apply that standard consistently. If not, stop pretending it only starts and ends with Messi.
‼️💥 #𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗔𝗩 | La IFAB 𝗡𝗢 ha reconocido que expulsar a Embolo fuese un error arbitral.
✅ De hecho, indica que "se recibió con agrado" la interpretación de confusión de identidad de la FIFA durante el Mundial.
