PVL get Daniel johns together and do a silverchair reunion to open the GF and all your bullshit is forgiven. A Newcastle fiesta the only way.

Dave, you’ve become Mark Latham but without his sense of humour.

There is no shortage of issues regarding FIFA. Let me start by clarifying what some of these are from an FA perspective, in particular that of Jordan going into a World Cup for the first time.
We are a small country with a minimal budget for our FA and had to deal with enormous hurdles. First, getting our fans into the USA: not all were granted VISAS, even though they had tickets -which we also know were sold at exorbitant prices. Secondly, we are being taxed by the US govt through FIFA for our participation. Money that should go to players and staff. This was not the case for those who played and set up camp in Canada and Mexico. But we happened to be in the USA so now we face these huge costs in taxes for having participated.
Thirdly we have been waiting for reward money for our players since December for the Arab cup in Qatar, which is a FIFA event. The money our team should receive for having reached the final has not been delivered yet, while at the same time FIFA brags about how many billions they have in reserve.
It is clear the problem really is with leadership. For months, FIFA has been refusing to help us on any of these or other matters- until it was verbally communicated to me during the World Cup that if I endorsed Infantino it would go a long way to helping our FA out.
We pride ourselves in Jordan in upholding ethical values. We did not endorse him before and certainly will not now. But the whole situation amounts to blackmail and we refuse to give in to that.

@bryce_parker26 Can absolutely agree with the current rules set up sin bins/send offs affect the game too much. It’s too much of an advantage with the pace of play

[Hal Shaw @_halshaw]

@bryce_parker26 IMO reece was very lucky not to go to the bin for that, there was a little bit more mitigation though with Coates falling. If they want to protect players from head injuries you can’t do that. koula failed his hia immediately

It’s only a Military Coup if it’s from the Coup De’tat region of France. This is just a sparkling regime change

[Tom Nuttall @tom_nuttall]

With the heaviest of hearts, I guess Gianni Infantino will now have to withdraw the FIFA Peace Prize.

@sk_pryde Yeah, but 41 points and he won the comp!

@SEN_Cricket @tommorris32 @beastieboy07 Way more pressure on Marnus than Carey. Green to come back into the team too (could be bat 3?)

Good to see Travis Head making the most of the power play…

@ccroucher9 Can’t allow this to set a precedent. It’s not a contact sport

Kensington Palace has released a new photo of the royal family which hopefully quells speculation.

Kevin Pietersen deserved to have a longer test career than he did based on his performances. Based on his commentary it is obvious why they didn't want to spend 5 days hanging out with him regularly
