"For the past year, FIFA has leased an office on the 17th floor of New York’s Trump Tower that has sat all but empty. The rent goes to President Trump’s family business, but soccer officials say the space sits largely idle." https://t.co/3CrHrid6ls

Qatar has held a World Cup where everyone who could afford to attend attended, wait till it's the USA hosting and they will have visa restrictions even on the players themselves 😂.
Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

Jacky Ickx is in the paddock today, the former Ferrari driver who said: "If you refer to Lewis, for me, he is a unique driver. It is like Senna, you have Max, you have Michael Schumacher and Fangio in the early days - these people have a little plus compared to the others. But to me, he [Lewis Hamilton] is a double plus because he is a very human person who never feared to get involved in Black Lives Matter for example."
"He is the only one I know today who involves himself totally in something, and maybe that quality is something even more impressive than the first one when you see what he does, what he cares about with his foundation."
"Nobody has done that before."

Chivu: "Mi manca mio padre, mi manca una figura importante, è stato un modello per me. Mi rivedo in lui perché non riesco a staccare quando torno a casa, con mia moglie o con mia figlia. Cercano di raccontarmi qualcosa a cena e io invece penso sempre a Barella, Calhanoglu, Lautaro. E mi dispiace, perché vedevo mio padre all'epoca col taccuino, noi gli parlavamo e lui non ci ascoltava. Da padre e marito, dovrei imparare a staccare un po', dedicare un'ora della mia vita, quando torno a casa, a loro perché se lo meritano e hanno bisogno di me" @DAZN_IT
