World football for me is the crown of global sport, and it’s where culture,and passion meet.
Tonight it felt the opposite for me, and I am really stunned.
When a World Cup draw is handed to a basketball player, a baseball player, an ice hockey legend and an American football star, I don’t think that has to do with global diversity.
For me it shows how far the game has drifted from its own centre.
Seeing and listening to people who have never lived football, watching and listening about its meaning it’s already very bizarre.
Tonight was not a celebration of our sport, and I really feel football should be protected from being used as a stage for self promotion and really should be honored for what it truly is the beautiful game!

Another day, another hearing, another appeal but still the same old outcome; a loss for FSV Mainz 05.
Regular defeats on the football pitch clearly aren’t enough for the board of the club so they keep coming back for more losses in the German courts !
I am grateful to the German courts for serving justice and seeing through the baseless and nonsensical claims of the club.
Let me be clear, the statement from the serial losers FSV Mainz 05 following their latest defeat is as deluded as their entire dealings and proceedings against me. I have never had, nor will I ever have, any consensus with any person or organisation which seeks to silence those standing for justice and humanity. My values can never align with any organisation whose values and convictions are to blindly stand with those accused of flagrantly breaching International law and perpetrating genocide.
No one is above the law.
Let this latest victory send a loud and clear to message to the warmongers, their accomplices and the deluded board members of FSV Mainz 05; you cannot, and will not, silence the voices of the Palestinians and their advocates. Viva Palestina !!!
