🚨 BREAKING:
American actress Jennifer Lawrence:
"What is happening in Gaza is clearly genocide, and I will never accept it. I'm afraid for the future of my children and all our children. It's shameful."
Coming out of hibernation to say Mark Goldbridge is an absolute fud. A fake United fan pedalling negativity, bile and disingenuous views. He's made lots of money but it's an empire built on Fox News style rage bait tactics and I feel embarrassed for anyone associated with him x
🚨 UEFA Statement: "UEFA and its 55 member associations stand as one. We unanimously and unequivocally reject FIFA’s proposal to transfer ownership interests in the World Cup and other FIFA competitions to private investors.
"The World Cup cannot be treated as an investment product. It is one of football’s greatest sporting legacies. It has been built over generations by players, national teams and supporters across every continent. No part of it should ever be surrendered to private investors. The World Cup is not for sale.
"It is both irresponsible and indefensible that a proposal of such significance for football was conceived in secret and brought to the brink of approval without any meaningful consultation with those entrusted with stewarding the game. This is not merely a profound failure of leadership, but an abdication of FIFA’s duty as the custodian of world football.
"National associations around the world are now presented with an ultimatum: accept the irreversible capture of football’s greatest competitions or bear the consequences. This is not a “democratic decision”, but governance by intimidation – an act of coercion unworthy of an institution entrusted with the stewardship of the global game.
"But our opposition goes far beyond process. The moment external investors acquire ownership interests in FIFA competitions, football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. Investor expectations become a daily pressure. From that moment onwards, every decision on the international calendar, every decision on competition formats and every decision shaping the future of football is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders.
"This model has no place in world football. Football’s future cannot be dictated by the expectations of those whose first duty is to maximise financial return. Nor can the interests of national associations, leagues, clubs, players and supporters become subordinate to investor returns. Football cannot mortgage its future for financial gain.
"Europe’s position is clear. We will never lend this model our legitimacy. No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation.
"As a result of today’s discussion, no UEFA national teams will participate in any FIFA competition for so long as these proposals remain alive, unless this proposal has been abandoned in its entirety and binding assurances have been given that FIFA will never again open its governance or competitions to private ownership.
"Nobody should be in any doubt: UEFA and its national associations will oppose these plans with absolute determination.
"There are moments when institutions are judged not by what they are prepared to accept, but by what they refuse to compromise. This is one of those moments.
Some things are simply too important to sell. The FIFA World Cup belongs to football. It always will. And so long as Europe has a voice, it will never be for sale."
“My successor, I don’t know if it is really Trump or Infantino,” Blatter says. “I cannot say they should not have a good friendship, but I don’t see exactly the big interest of football.”
In the aftermath of the latest in a string of controversies during Gianni Infantino’s reign as Fifa president, we’re resharing our exclusive - and candid - interview with Sepp Blatter from December 2025.

Da var VM over for Cristiano Ronaldo, og da skal naturligvis lakken ripes og ettermælet smusses til av de som heier mer på han andre av de to har skjemmet oss bort i mer enn 20 år.
Please. Timing.
En ting er hva man tenker og tror om CR7 i forkant av mesterskapet, debatten om hvor god han er eller ikke er per 2026 og om Portugal kommer ut i pluss eller minus med ham som spiss. En annen ting er hvordan han (bør) omtales nå som det er over.
Respekt.
Man kan like ham eller ikke like ham. Man kan ha mer kjærlighet til Messi, man kan være Barcelona- og/eller Liverpool-supporter og kjenne på en "forpliktelse" til å mislike ham pga hans kamp med og mot Messi, og det er jo faktisk slik at man ikke kommer foruten den ene når man skal omtale eller vurdere den andre - slik peaken av karrierene deres var.
Men, kjære vakre vene.
Selv om man eventuelt sitter på argumenter for at en fyr fra Argentina har gjort enda litt mer, må det være mulig å anerkjenne, respektere og nikke særdeles anerkjennende til hva Cristiano Ronaldo har oppnådd siden han tråkket ut på José Alvalade for å debutere mot Inter i 2003. Det er så lenge siden at Christian Vieri spilte på det andre laget. Christian Vieri, som sendte oss ut av VM i 1998!
Scoring i seks forskjellige VM.
Eldste målscorer i utslagsrundene i VM.
25 scoringer i EM og VM.
EM-gull i 2016.
233 landskamper.
Tidenes desidert mestscorende for Portugal.
450 mål på 438 kamper for Real Madrid.
Tidenes mestscorende i Champions League.
Snart 1000 scoringer totalt i karrieren.
35 troféer.
Kåret til verdens beste fotballspiller fem ganger.
Respekt. Det fortjener fotballspilleren Cristiano Ronaldo. Virkelig.
Gianni Infantino has further diminished the reputation of an organisation that had already become a byword for sleaze under his predecessor Sepp Blatter. He should resign.

Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.
Whether it is or isn’t a red to Balogun is now irrelevant. Government interference is a violation of FIFA Article 2 & 15, and the punishment is disqualification and suspension. #FIFAWorldCup
@MagnusBarstad Sykt at det ikke engang er fordi Zlatan har en dårlig retur, 62 på 122 er jo mega bra for landslagsfotball.. Helt utenomjordisk det Haaland leverer for Norge
@MagnusBarstad Gir faktisk så faen om press jeg om spissen min leverer det her år på år på år.
Da finner du løpshester og bygger rundt han, som Madrid gjorde med Cristiano før han. Maksimer Mbappe så har du en vinnende sjangse hvert år 🤷🏻♂️
The UK public celebrates a genuine national treasure on his centenary, which coincides with a landslide of council votes for a political party that rejects net zero, wants to defund the institutions that Attenborough's life has enriched, and doesn't care about nature. Go figure.
