Should do a lifetime thread of my all time favourite songs.
Songs in no particular order of preference or genre.
Will keep updating the thread as I remember some, or new songs become favs.
Iran’s soccer federation says its ticket allocation had been pulled just days before the World Cup starts, leaving supporters who had already made travel plans unable to attend their team’s matches. https://t.co/fG6EXikg9e
When the U.K. Foreign Office considered denying North Koreans visas to play at the 1966 World Cup, FIFA told the FA that they would immediately relocate the tournament.
That was when FIFA still had something remotely resembling a spine.
🚨 Michael Carrick wants Manchester United to assemble a midfield trio based on PSG’s dynamic Champions League winners. Carrick considers PSG’s midfield of Vitinha, Fabián Ruiz and João Neves to be the BENCHMARK amid United’s midfield overhaul.
Carrick wants United to develop a more DOMINANT playing style for his first full season in charge, with Kobbie Mainoo’s role due to be tweaked. Mainoo has embraced more defensive responsibilities under Carrick whilst also emerging as a key attacking cog. Carrick wants Mainoo to start ATTACKING spaces in behind defences in order to become a more rounded midfielder.

So @FIFAcom’s position is that a referee they selected for the World Cup can be excluded because of one host country’s racism, and FIFA bears no responsibility whatsoever.
Then why wasn’t he assigned to Canada or Mexico?
The tournament has three host countries. The obstacle is one country, not the entire World Cup. So why isn't FIFA finding a solution?
What FIFA is really saying is that when officials from the Global South are discriminated against, accommodation is impossible and exclusion is acceptable.
A World Cup that only works for holders of the right passports is not a global tournament. It’s a privilege masquerading as one.
The Senegalese 🇸🇳 delegation gets this treatment on arrival in the USA. Full tarmac searches, shoes off, bags turned inside out like criminals.
This is straight up humiliation and a disgrace. They’d never put white boys through the same.
🚨 Manchester United remain intent on signing Elliot Anderson, with the club’s executives optimistic they can beat Manchester City in the race to acquire him. [@JamieJackson___] #MUFC
🚨💣 BREAKING ! Omar Abdulkadir Artan, meilleur arbitre CAF 2025, s'est vu REFUSER l'entrée sur le territoire américain. ❌🛂🇺🇸
IL N'OFFICIERA PAS DURANT CETTE COUPE DU MONDE : COMPLÈTEMENT DINGUE ! 😳🇸🇴
Véritable fierté de son pays, il était le premier arbitre Somalien à officier en Coupe du Monde : il devra donc rentrer chez lui.
@ZeeROGBA Carrick is using him as an outball outlet like a Garnacho. He is a better athlete and that's why he would always find himself at the end of chances like he used to.
Infact I feel Ike he already has better ball striking than him, he just need different shot selection to be lethal
@ZeeROGBA His ball carrying is not clean cos he doesnt protect the ball well enough while running with it. He does better when the ball is played ahead of him to run into space and that is where he differs from Mendes,
He also cant beat his man in a stationery state or sort out his feet.
@Bayoir I get that about Carrick on him. Was just saying I would prefer.
He is nowhere close to Mendes right now but I disagree with you on his ball carrying. It's good enough. His ball control is one of his biggest issues.
Christian Eriksen is conscious and “doing well under the circumstances” after collapsing on the pitch during Denmark’s friendly match against Ukraine on Sunday, the Danish Football Association (DBU) has said.

@Bayoir Dorgu, Mazraoui and Dalot can deputize when needed.
I still want Dorgu to continue his development as a full back. Can be as good as Nuno Mendes
