🚨🗣Steven Gerrard: "this fifa world cup in USA is becoming the worst tournament even before it get started! This is not how it is supposed to be, the weather in the US is terrible for players to play in, and we have news of the Somali referee Omar Artan who was appointed by FIFA denied entry, Iran saying FIFA has withdrawn fans World Cup ticket allocation, couple with funny security checks [Kevin Debruyne Belgium and Senegal players]

"I have to say it again this World Cup is starting to look like a mess, and the tournament hasn't even properly begun yet."

"Usually, before a World Cup, we're talking about the favourites, the star players, and the football. Instead, we're talking about travel problems, ticket controversies, and immigration issues."

"The Omar Artan situation is one of the most disappointing stories I've seen. FIFA selected him because they believed he was good enough to officiate at the World Cup, yet he was denied entry into the United States and will miss the tournament."

"Imagine working your whole life to become the first Somali referee at a World Cup and then being prevented from taking part for reasons completely unrelated to football."

"Then you have Iran's federation saying their allocation of World Cup tickets for supporters was withdrawn just days before the competition. Whether you agree with a government or not, supporters should not be the ones paying the price."

"I've also seen players and delegations complaining about the level of security checks and the delays involved. At some point, people stop feeling welcomed and start feeling like they're being treated as suspects."

"The weather is another concern. We're talking about matches being played in extreme summer conditions. The players are expected to perform at the highest level while dealing with heat that can completely change the rhythm of a game."

"A World Cup should be about bringing the world together. Instead, every day seems to bring another story that has nothing to do with football."

"The worrying thing is that these aren't isolated incidents anymore. When ticket disputes, entry restrictions, and organisational concerns keep appearing, people naturally begin questioning the tournament itself."

"I still hope the football saves the competition because the World Cup is bigger than any host nation. But right now, the headlines aren't making FIFA look good, and they certainly aren't making this look like the celebration of football it was supposed to be."

Bryan Cranston says Vince Gilligan’s #BreakingBad script was so good it convinced his wife he had to spend six years in New Mexico making the show.

“With a cynicism behind her, she goes, ‘I’m not even gonna like this.’ I’m watching her read it. She gets down to the last page, closes it, throws it on the end of the bed and says, ‘Shit!’ Because she knew it was great and that I had to do it.”

Manning is like 2 minutes away from stuffing Knott into a locker over his dopey comparison of a current pitcher to Nolan Ryan.

An iron man, and a Brown for life.

Congrats on a dominant 12-year career @JoelBitonio 👏 @Browns

To Cleveland, From Joel

[Cleveland Browns @Browns]

Thank you, Joel, for your 12 years of dedication and character as a representative of this city. Your name will go down as one of the best to ever wear a Browns uniform. Congrats on an excellent career. Forever a Brown.

[Coach L @CoachCL16]

@Tom_RedRight88 I like the trade. Helps the Browns down the road. But this is a stretch. Star players have had their own set of rules since pro sports began…Garrett is no different. All that mattered to his teammates was him getting 3 sacks on Sunday

@Tom_RedRight88 It’s actually mind boggling the lengths the majority of Browns fans and media that are piling on Myles right now.

One of the only reasons to watch the Browns the last 5 years, best player in the league. Glad he’s gone.

Same guys: Start Watson
