Just to be clear, then. FIFA:

1) can't possibly intervene when Iran are forced to move, a referee is denied a visa, or fans are barred from the USA

2) can absolutely intervene when a decision goes against the USA that Donald Trump doesn't like

Smashing. All know where we stand

@DanielSturridge @JamesPearceLFC I’d rather they don’t love football. They stink up everything they touch

Airplane power move:

Watch the same movie as your seat mate but fast forward so you’re ahead of them by a few seconds

If done correctly, they will have to watch you react to every major scene a few seconds before they see it on theirs, thus securing row level dominance

[Reagan @ReaganRaj]

@LFCApproved Oh yeah? Why? Because there are no transfers in the WC? This is what happens when football to you is only all about transfers, less about the actual football itself.

Let's be honest,the Iranian delegation's performance in Switzerland was a masterclass in psychological and diplomatic leverage.
They arrived on their own terms, made the Americans wait, refused even the symbolic gesture of a handshake, held firm to their demands, and walked away the moment they usual threats from Donald Trump entered the conversation.
In doing so, they projected confidence while exposing the American desperation and weakness.

What stands out is the Persians' sophisticated understanding of symbolism and strategy.
Every move is calculated, every gesture deliberate, as though they are several moves ahead in a chess match while their counterparts is struggling to keep up.

The result is a striking contrast: Iran is composed, disciplined, and in control, while the United States is reactive and outmaneuvered.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to deny the fact that Iran has now emerged as one of the most influential and formidable powers in the Middle East......

"For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep. All of Lebanon must burn!"

He sounds like a Nazi.

If this wasn't Israel, everybody would say he sounds like a Nazi.

@LFCApproved Didn’t you just attack James Pearce for not knowing? Aren’t you a hypocrite?

Superb critique of the degeneration of the World Cup under the current FIFA regime. @jeremycorbyn https://t.co/32ZdKmBzPG

such a beautiful actor too.

Sanctimonious phonies like Norway (which said they’d skip the Qatar World Cup despite not qualifying) and Germany (which posed hands over mouths and wore rainbow Rolexes) made a huge fuss about Qatar, but they’re saying nothing now.

About a Cup where even teams and referees can’t travel freely and everybody gets their social media scanned to see if they’re suitably quiet about the genocide currently going on.

And the same journalists and officials who protested about Qatar are quiet because that was, in hindsight, just racism.

These fake nations, fake institutions, fake journalists; they’re all part of the White Empire. All a bunch of false flags to match the false internationalism of FIFA. This event, like so many events this century, reveals the White Empire behind the scenes, and it’s obscene.

We’ve lost more than a filmmaker. We’ve lost a man who lived and breathed cinema. He didn’t just make films, he redefined Tamil cinema, again and again. A true stalwart, fearless, endlessly curious, and one of the greatest to ever hold a camera. I’ll carry forever the privilege of directing him in my first film. Watching him work, you understood what it meant to love cinema more than anything else in the world. He inspired generations. His films will keep teaching, provoking, and moving us for decades to come. Rest in peace, sir. Thank you for everything #Bharathiraja sir. I’ve lost a friend, a mentor and a father.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

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.

Gianni Infantino knocked down all the reporting over visa concerns for this World Cup in August 2025: “I think it’s important to clarify this. There is a lot of misconception out there. Everyone will be welcome in Canada, Mexico and the United States for the FIFA World Cup next year.

“There is a process to go through to get visas and so on. This process will be smooth…

“We want to unite the world and we will unite the world next year. The world needs occasions of unity, of bringing teams together, of bringing people together, of bringing fans together... So again everyone will be welcome, be positive and you will see it will be a great, great celebration of the greatest FIFA World Cup ever.”

No, again we are just meant to look the other way and allow this thing we love so much, that we want to enjoy, that we can map our whole lives around, to be used and abused.

Again we are told about unity and inclusion when division, disparity and denial is the reality.

It is a great, great celebration of getting more money whatever it takes, no matter who has to pay the price. The greatest showpiece of allowing - unopposed! - the man who is meant to protect and grow the people’s game into playing celebrity, massaging his own ego and that of heads of state.

The biggest, most expensive, least accessible World Cup ever. The thing we love and all the beautiful pieces of it we’ve lost.

Israel responds to Iran's retaliatory strikes by cutting off all aid to Gaza.

This is a state which routinely collectively punishes civilians as a tactic of war.

This is monstrous, and it is also a grave war crime.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

The Israeli army shot dead a 7-month-old Palestinian baby in the West Bank.

It was in broad daylight.

The father says:

"I stopped as I was instructed to, and then they simply shot at the car."

Israel routinely kills babies - and the West is silent.
