The UK is spending £369m refurbishing Buckingham Palace for King Charles, who has £22bn and gets £500m more a year.
He can pay for his own renovations, £369m is more than England spends on building Social Housing in an entire year for the whole country.
“Everyone is complaining about the poor facilities and organization in the stadiums, training facilities, and airports, as well as the detention of players, photographers, referees, coaches, and just about everything else, and it will be the worst World Cup edition ever.”
Statement from Omar Artan is far more graceful and reserved than FIFA deserves. It is a stain on this tournament that one of Africa's top officials can be blocked from the biggest month of his career.
Nearly 100 fans from Morocco applied to go the USA.
The US blocked nearly 90% of their applications.
This is the most racist World Cup ever and it should be boycotted by everyone, the USA is refusing to let non-white people come.
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.
Sean Strickland has trashed:
- Islam
- Other races
- Pretty much everyone
UFC had no problem.
He criticizes Israel?
Now the “higher ups” say he’s banned from UFC 250.
Craven Cottage (28,000 seats), designed by Archibald Leitch, opened in 1896...
...isn't big enough to seat every gun violence corpse from America in 2025 (38,762).
Even Hitler's Germany did not prevent athletes and officials from entering the country to take part in the 1936 Olympics.
This is pristine racism and @FIFAcom stands disgraced for allowing Trump to disfigure the beautiful game in this way.
-Shootings near the England camp
-Japan having to move twice due to terrible facilities
-Players and refs can't even get into the country
-The ball doesn't bounce on the pitches
-$150 trains to get to stadiums that aren't fit for purpose
They've had 8 years prep for this 😭
Suddenly all the people who cared about human rights when Russia and Qatar hosted the world cup and suddenly quiet. .. No fancy documentary from the BBC on immigrants rights. No expose on Crime in inner cities (as we saw in South Africa)
Just silence.
England fans might find this World Cup expensive, but spare a thought for those of us who have had to fork out £85 a pop for Scotland, Croatia, Ghana and Panama jerseys.
