The World Cup belongs to us fans all around the world. It’s the holy grail of football heritage. Selling it off to private investors so a few individuals make bank means the death of the World Cup as we know it. Everything will change. It will never be the same.
You might not always agree with @UEFA, but now every football fan should 100% support them in this fight for what‘s right.
Andy Burnham is echt mijn nieuwe irritainment. Alles is show en symboliek, 0 inhoud. Tenenkrommend figuur die de Britten weer een paar jaar politieke teleurstelling gaat aansmeren.
Wanneer je in een flix bus zit naar praag en rond half 3 eindelijk in slaap valt om vervolgens 5 minuten later te worden gewekt voor een polizeicontrole....😑😬
Lindsey Graham and I had a complicated relationship.
Before Trump, we were friends. We traveled together on congressional trips around the world, including visiting Syrian refugee camps where we met children whose lives had been shattered by war. Those moments reminded us why public service mattered.
After Trump, we went in very different directions, and we eventually stopped speaking. I never hid those disagreements, and I won’t rewrite that history today.
But death has a way of putting things in perspective. I choose to remember the man I knew before our paths diverged—the one who cared deeply about America’s role in the world and wasn’t afraid to see suffering up close.
Rest in peace, Lindsey. My prayers are with his family and all who loved him.
When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.
A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”
That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.
I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.
How do you disallow Egypt’s second goal and then allow Argentina l’s 3rd to stand - despite the same offence clearly and obviously being committed?! 🤷♂️
Egypte en Kaapverdië hebben tegen systemen gevoetbald.
Ze hebben op scorebord niet gewonnen, maar wel de harten van het volk wereldwijd gewonnen.

Egypt's disallowed goal was completely against how this tournament has been refereed.
You can't have a light touch where you don't give fouls for minimal contact and then rule out a goal through VAR for a very minimal hold of the shirt.

List of players to have their red cards overturned (or suspended) at the World Cup, since the card was introduced in 1970:
🇺🇸 Florian Balogun
End of list.
Don't know what's funnier: Americans speculating on football disciplinary jurisprudence they've just discovered overnight, or thinking Balogun is the difference-maker they'll need to get past the worst Belgium side in decades
Just to be clear, then. FIFA:
1) can't possibly intervene when Iran are forced to move, a referee is denied a visa, or fans are barred from the USA
2) can absolutely intervene when a decision goes against the USA that Donald Trump doesn't like
Smashing. All know where we stand
Heb weinig met het belgische team en begon dit wk door het goede voetbal toch een héél klein beetje sympathie op te bouwen voor USMNT, maar door dit verbijsterende staaltje klassejustitie sta ik morgen op de banken voor België🇧🇪💪#usmnt#fifa#corrupt
Breaking: Folarin Balogun will be available to play in USA's Round of 16 match against Belgium on Monday, FIFA announced.
The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has suspended the red card issued to the USA striker during their Round of 32 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina.
