You sometimes forget how good professional footballers are in comparison to regular people. 🤣

Ian Wright and Roy Keane discussing how great Pixar's Cars is might just be the highlight of the world cup, and it's not even started yet.

"Chill, relax"

BBC sports editor Dan Roan asks Fifa president Gianni Infantino if he's lost control of his own tournament.

[James Benge @jamesbenge]

Infantino calls for critics to "chill and relax" over Somali referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan being blocked from travel to the US.

The mind boggles.

Thousands of people began to gather at Stadium Mogadishu, where the renowned Somali international referee and CAF Referee of the Year, Omar Artan, is set to be welcomed.

This case has huge implications for Clubs who feel they were disadvantaged by Chelsea's breach of the Premier League rules, and, IF found guilty, Clubs who may have lost out to Manchester City for trophies and Champions League places. Any sports lawyers thinking of going on holiday may have to postpone them.

[BBC News Africa @BBCAfrica]

Omar Artan is back in Mogadishu.
The Somali referee was set to become the first man from his country to play an on-pitch role at the World Cup.
Artan was barred from entering the US despite holding a diplomatic passport and a single-entry US visa.

FIFA really are shameless.

Soccer would not exist without immigrants. Immigrants play and coach the game, work in the stadiums, fill the stands, and make celebrations like the World Cup possible. Six of the players on the US Men's National Team are immigrants.

We will not allow ICE or anyone else to sow fear in our communities — especially at this moment. As the world comes to our city, we will stand proudly with our immigrant neighbors and reject these attacks for what they are: an attempt to divide us.
