Is FIFA's credibility under threat?
The German FA refusing to back Gianni Infantino, the Balogun controversy, political influence allegations, and questions over FIFA's neutrality... these are issues world football cannot ignore.

According to David Ornstein, Arsenal have agreed a deal to sign Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge.

If this move is completed, the Gunners will be adding another exciting attacking option to Mikel Arteta's squad.
What do you think? Is this a smart signing for Arsenal?

It is not coming home

This aged well. England have lost and that Dan Burn's sub for Gordon caused it

I don't like it when a coach takes off an outfield player to put in a defender to defend a slim lead. It gives the opponent the initiative to attack relentlessly in pursuit of a goal

If England loses to Argentina, I will certainly support Spain to win the final. I can't have these gangsters win the World Cup again. This isn't football. This is thugerry mixed with dark arts

I still can't believe what I watched.

France didn't just lose to Spain... they were completely outplayed from the first whistle to the last.
Spain are deservedly in the World Cup final.

"It's coming home"
we've heard those words since 1966. But standing in England's way is an Argentina side that hasn't lost a World Cup semi-final and has looked unstoppable all tournament. Will football finally come home or will La Albiceleste take one more step towards another World Cup final?

France against Spain
the final before the final. Spain will make it difficult, but I believe Mbappé and France will rise when it matters most and book their place in the World Cup final.

Prediction came to pass.
I said Spain would finally concede their first goal of the tournament and they did.
I also predicted a 2-1 victory for Spain.
Football is unpredictable, but sometimes the signs are there if you pay close attention.

Spain haven't conceded a goal yet but I think Belgium will finally find a way through.#fyp #sirtutu #spain #lamineyamal #worldcup

Morocco fought with courage, heart and pride, but tonight France showed why they are one of the favourites to lift the World Cup. The Atlas Lions leave with their heads held high, while Les Bleus march on to the semi-finals.

Morocco have already shown the world that their run to the 2022 World Cup semi-finals wasn't a fluke. Tonight, they face their biggest test yet. Can they shock the favourites once again, or will France's quality prove too much? My prediction: France 2-1 Morocco.

2 truths can https://t.co/bXHJYrILKI I agree that FIFA has been favouring Messi so far in this World Cup, especially if we go by the Freudian slip Infantino made when Cape Verde scared Argentina? Yes. However, yesterday's officiating wasn't one in which Argentina was favoured by FIFA.

Was it the referee or did Egypt simply fail to manage the game?
Questionable decisions can change matches, but throwing away a 2-0 lead with 11 minutes left is a lesson African teams must learn from.

Argentina refused to die and came back like champions. From 2-0 down to winning 3-2 against Egypt. What a game.

#Argentina #WorldCup #Messi #ARGEGY #sirtutu

[Desmond @Sir_Tutu_]

Messi is the only player to miss two penalties in one world cup #ARGEGY

[Desmond @Sir_Tutu_]

He never lifted the World Cup, but Cristiano Ronaldo gave Portugal an identity, a winning mentality, and memories that will last forever. He came, he saw, and he conquered. 🇵🇹🐐
