Chill.

Unless you’re a fan whose visa was denied, losing your life savings.

A referee whose participation was withdrawn after a lifetime of work.

A player who couldn’t focus without certainty as to if, or when, you were going to be allowed to play in the biggest moment of your young life, and most precious memory as you will age.

A country that had to change venues because you’re being bombed by the hosts.

A staff member denied a World Cup after years of dedication in qualifying.

A spectator who sold your house to pay for exorbitant tickets.

Aside from that, relax.

God knows I’ve been critical enough of @UEFA but asking Omar Artan to referee the Super Cup is a glorious two-fingered salute to Infantino! #CPFC

How is this stadium not hosting the World Cup final? 😂

[S @316simsim]

How the fuck can the final not be in this stadium? It’s like one of the 7 wonders of the football world

Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will

Oh man…the Azteca

[Richard @afc_richard]

Its admirable how UEFA are able to piggyback off FIFA’s failures to make themselves seem a much better organisation

When FIFA announced their inflated ticket prices, UEFA announced a price cap for Euro2028, and now this.

Hate giving UEFA any credit, but its a great strategy

[Jenni @hashjenni]

Fun fact. For the 1966 World Cup, England debated denying visas for North Korea. FIFA responded that if any players from any teams were denied visas,they would relocate the World Cup, even at the last minute.

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

This play will be replayed for years.

[UEFA @UEFA]

🏆 Referee announced for 2026 #SuperCup!

We're pleased to share that Somali referee Omar Artan will officiate the highly anticipated match between PSG and Aston Villa in Salzburg.

James Dolan invited his friend Donald Trump to watch Game 3. In order to do that, they have to ban the organic, historically joyous parties happening outside MSG for fans who can't afford to be inside. Modern sports in a nutshell

[Manchester United @ManUtd]

Everybody at Manchester United is encouraged by Denmark’s update on Christian Eriksen following today’s abandoned friendly against Ukraine.

The club is sending strength and love to Christian and the Eriksen family as we await further news.

[Leyla Hamed @leylahamed]

We all knew these situations were going to happen, and so did FIFA. Yet they still allowed the World Cup to go ahead in the U.S. They are not receiving anywhere near the level of scrutiny they should.

10/10. No notes.

I’ll never stop reposting this.

I always think of this photo on D-Day.

Normandy veterans Henry Rice and Ken Hay - both 100 - on Sword Beach once more. @ForcesNews #D-Day

@MiguelDelaney Keane has always been a loose cannon. He eventually outstays his welcome everywhere. It's why he can't be a football manager and why Fergie was right to get rid of him.

Even if Mick had appeased him that time, he'd likely have found another reason to pull a tantrum.
