Kikuyus! Kikuyus! Mrima! The Mountain!

Are these the only words which have been in @rigathi’s brain since 1985? Yes.

When will he speak of KENYA, the country of more than 32 nationalities?

No sois conscientes del asco que me da la FIFA, pero aquí va un texto corto para que os hagáis una idea.

Han modificado el Mundial con unas "pausas de hidratación" que solo sirven para recaudar más dinero y han alterado la dinámica de los partidos

Han maltratado a Irán con un trato desigual durante todo el torneo, donde debían entrar y salir cada día que jugaban en Estados Unidos.

Han permitido la expulsión del mejor árbitro africano, Omar Artan, por supuestos vínculos terroristas no demostrados.

Han limitado el papel de México y Canadá en el Mundial con solo 13 partidos en sus países por los 78 de Estados Unidos.

Han convertido el fútbol en un producto de lujo con unos precios vergonzosos.

Han aumentado el número de equipos para disparar sus ingresos por derechos televisivos, no por el espectáculo, la calidad o por dar más oportunidades.

Han destrozado el Mundial de 2030 con partidos en 7 países de 3 continentes distintos.

Taking pictures with men who abducted, illegally detained, tortured and murdered Kenyans; an MP who shot an unarmed civilian in the neck twice at point blank range and left him to die; and another who plundered public resources is declaring membership in the ORGANIZED MAFIA!

[Taj Ali @Taj_Ali1]

I don’t want to hear any bullshit about “legitimate concerns” and “working class revolt”

It’s working-class Black and brown people being pushed out of their homes. This is racist violence and intimidation. Don’t dress it up as anything else.

Germany scapegoated Ozil for the group stage elimination at the FIFA WC 2018 just because he was a Turkish Muslim. They forced their captain Gundogan who is a Muslim to put on a public statement before the match along with his team for the human rights in Qatar despite him not wanting to do it along with the few other players.

Suddenly as the World Cup is being held in USA, their captain Joshua Kimmich says that the team is not interested in politics despite teams getting last minute visas, some players and refs not even getting it along with the fans.

Germany is by far the most hypocritical nation in the world.

Hi darling @ToniKroos

You spent months criticizing Qatar and talking about every possible issue before and during the 2022 World Cup, yet it turned out to be one of the best-organized tournaments in history. Public transportation was free, fans could travel easily between stadiums some fans saw 4 matches in the stadium in same day, and the overall organization was praised by millions of visitors.

Now, when concerns are being raised about visa delays, strict entry procedures, and travel difficulties surrounding tournaments in the United States, we don't hear the same level of criticism from you. There have also been complaints about organizational decisions and match arrangements that many fans consider unnecessary or difficult, yet your voice is nowhere near as loud as it was when Qatar hosted the World Cup.

If your criticism is truly based on principles, then the same standards should apply to everyone. But when Qatar receives endless criticism while similar concerns elsewhere are met with silence, people are naturally going to question whether your issue was really about organization at all.

Fuck you.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

As a World Cup host, the U.S. shouldn't be flippantly barring officials from entering the country to do their jobs.

It's terribly backward.

It's also counterproductive.

Global sports competitions should improve international exchange and relations, not the reverse.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.

The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: An official image has been released of Kai Havertz' challenge.

Studs above the ankle is a 100% red card in the book of rules, but VAR decided NOT to give it.

There won’t be acres of coverage or outrage over this, I can assure you.

Suella Braverman is lying to the hardworking British Public

International Students do not have access to public funds or student loans

They pay almost twice as much as home students, they pay additional NHS surcharge of £776 per year before stepping into the UK.

She is lying!

[Kara @UTDKarra]

Hearing Manchester City are letting John Stones leave at the end of the season…

But at Manchester United we’re doing charity football for players

- ‘Bring Rashford back he’s from the academy’
- ‘Keep Dalot he’s almost 30’
- ‘Can we renew Casemiro’s contract?’
- ‘Shaw should stay because he broke his leg for us’
- ‘Give Maguire a new contract’

This is why we’re stuck.

He received 38 back passes 😅

🚨🗣️ TV commentator: "Arsenal don’t play football. They play a different sport. Young fans don’t switch on the TV to watch Arsenal; they want to watch football."

"Set-piece goals, zero creativity, fouls and time-wasting when they’re in the lead. These players have been brainwashed into playing a different sport."

[Pedro Sánchez @sanchezcastejon]

El Gobierno de España condena la pena de muerte contra palestinos que acaba de aprobar el parlamento de Israel. Se trata de una medida asimétrica que no se aplicaría a los israelíes que cometieran los mismos delitos.

Mismo crimen, distinta pena.

Eso no es justicia. Es un paso más hacia el apartheid.

El mundo no puede callar.

[Troll Football @TrollFootball]

🚨 FIFA have disqualified all the teams from the World Cup and handed the trophy to Israel as it was promised to them 3000 years ago.
