Red cards are not overturned by political phone calls. They are overturned by rules, evidence and independent bodies. If a U.S. President intervenes with the FIFA President — and a player is suddenly cleared before a World Cup knockout match — the question is unavoidable: Quo vadis, FIFA?
Football must never become a playground for political power. #FIFA #WorldCup #GianniInfantino #DonaldTrump
really fun to get a masters degree, apply for 5 jobs, get rejected by 3 of them within a week, and now i get 10 spam phone calls a day because they sold my data
Casuals who only watch Mexico every 4 years don’t realize how shit we were, we got grouped in back to back major tournaments with the worst squad I’ve ever seen, going 9/9 with 0 goals conceded means something to me
🚨📰 JUST IN!
Manchester United were among several European heavyweights in attendance at the Estadio Azteca on Wednesday to watch teenage prodigy Gilberto Mora.
United, in particular, have been the most proactive Premier League side pushing to secure the youngster.

Mexico and South Africa are about to play the opening match of the World Cup for the second time in history. 16 years apart. Exact same calendar date. Completely reversed host roles. In 2010, Mexico pulled up to Johannesburg to spoil South Africa's party. In 2026, South Africa is pulling up to the Estadio Azteca to return the favor. This is officially the most unique, historic opener we’ve ever seen. Football always finds a way to repeat itself.
Can we clap for the Albanians please? Over 100,000 of them took to the streets, shut down the capital protesting Maga Jared Kushner & Maga Ivanka Trump. Protecting their sacred lands from these vampires
I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.
