FIFA President Gianni Infantino says people "should chill" about referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan, who was denied entry to the USA. Artan would have become the first Somalian to referee in the #FIFAWorldCup.

Final:
๐ช๐ธ vs ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ (0-1 ET)
I think there are 5 teams that can win the World Cup these final 4 and ๐ฆ๐ท. Iโd rather see ๐ต๐น win but I have a gut feeling itโs going to be ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ ending their 60 year drought!

Give Nelson the final roster spot. Heโs been all over the pitch tonight. He deserves it after tonight.
Canada didnโt look great in the 1st half but miles better in the 2nd. Need to move the ball faster and find space. Too many mistakes on defence, better teams will make us pay!

Bombshell: The Browns are finalizing a trade that will send two-time Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams, per @rapsheet, @TomPelissero and me.
In exchange for Garrett, the Rams are expected to send Pro-Bowl edge Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick and other draft-pick compensation still being negotiated to the Browns.
5. 2006 ๐ฎ๐น vs ๐ซ๐ท (1-1) pen
4. 1978 ๐ฆ๐ท vs ๐ณ๐ฑ (3-1)
3. 1986 ๐ฆ๐ท vs ๐ฉ๐ช (3-2)
2. 1966 ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ vs ๐ฉ๐ช (4-2)
1. 2022 ๐ฆ๐ท vs ๐ซ๐ท (3-3) pen
These games were a blast to watch. High scoring, quality saves and all close games. Every game ended within 1 goal after 90 mins. Would watch again!
With the #WorldCup 17 days away I figured Iโd go back to watch and rank the last 15 World Cup Finals. (1966-2022)
My system awards points for highlight reel plays (nice goals and saves, excluding penalties) and bonus points for close games (within 1 goal after 90 mins)
1/4
10. 2002 ๐ง๐ท vs ๐ฉ๐ช (2-0)
9. 2018 ๐ซ๐ท vs ๐ญ๐ท (4-2)
8. 1982 ๐ฎ๐น vs ๐ฉ๐ช (3-1)
7. 2010 ๐ช๐ธ vs ๐ณ๐ฑ (1-0)
6. 1970 ๐ง๐ท vs ๐ฎ๐น (4-1)
These games were good but arenโt elite. Most of the games suffered from being blowouts (18, 82, 70) while others missed out on a lack of highlights or goals.
3/4
What is the point of the regular season if 8/9 teams make the playoffs. A team could legit win their first 6 games then bench everyone to rest for the playoffs.
Last year the Argos wouldโve made it at 5-13, in 2023 either Ott or Edm wouldโve made it at 4-14.
Make it make sense
Coming in 2027, a CFL season built for Summer long weekends, as the CFL and CFLPA champion a new era of Playoff football.

Was expecting edge rusher here but Thieneman is hard to pass up. Iโm happy with this pick.
Also just a note I love how quick this draft is going, 8 mins is better than 10
#Superbowl Score Prediction:
1st Quarter: Seahawks lead 7-3
Halftime: Seahawks lead 14-10
3rd Quarter: Seahawks lead 24-10
Final: Seahawks win 31-17
I think the Patriots will keep it close but the defence will get tired after long Seattle drives and begin to break after half
