Once knocked out I can’t wait for Americans to claim no one in their country actually cares about the World Cup after they spent 24 hours celebrating in bipartisan unison that their president actively interfered in the tournament.
Hey Florian @balogun , hear me out my brother in football⚽️
this is not about whether the red card was right or wrong anymore. That debate will never end. This is about the integrity of football.
If I were in your boots, I’d refuse to play against Belgium. Not because I think you’re a bad player or because you asked for any of this, i think you are great, but because politics has now entered the game.
A President of the United States publicly intervened, FIFA softened your suspension, and UEFA says FIFA crossed a red line. If you step onto that pitch, fair or unfair, millions of people will forever question whether you should have been there.
Don’t forget that your career is in Europe, the home of the world’s biggest clubs, the highest level of football, and fans who treat this sport almost like a religion. They care deeply about the integrity of the game. If it were me, I wouldn’t risk carrying this controversy for the rest of your career over a single match. One act of principle today could earn more respect than a hundred goals tomorrow.
Be a hero, don’t get branded as a corrupt loser, fans all over the world will remember your choice. Forever. One game can change all your career and life, choose wisely.
It’s great to have new fans of the sport, everyone is welcome but please have the humility to accept that you have no idea what you’re talking about and as a result, you shouldn’t have strong opinions about anything. Everyone with a functioning brain who has been watching football for more than 2 weeks understands the problem here and the reputational damage this is doing to both FIFA and US Soccer. So many people have worked so hard over the years to establish the US’s reputation in the sport and to be respected by the international football community, this does irreparable harm to that. I don’t care if you think it is a red or not, those decisions happen in football every week. Laurent Blanc missed a World Cup final due to a red card in the semi final which was clearly simulation but he had to accept it. Infantino needs to resign tonight, his consent to govern comes from all of us, he is a total liability.
Putin will never enter into any real negotiations with Ukraine. For him, it means the end - either political death, or physical death. When the Russian side speaks of a readiness to negotiate, it is merely a diplomatic tactic to drag out the war. Russians understand the word "negotiation" as a synonym for Ukraine's capitulation.
There is no "window for negotiations", there is only a window of opportunity to force the Russians into peace by strength.
I started dying when I saw how many goalies the kiddos had 😂
But this is brilliant!
3 Japanese National Team players vs 100 elementary school kids!
So fun!
This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.
More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.
And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.
Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.
The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.
Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.
We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

@MattLearnsLingo@DieTukkerfries Ik denk dat als je expliciet zou vragen om het gesprek in het Nederlands te doen omdat je de taal wilt oefenen, de meeste Nederlanders dat graag zouden doen.
@Robert_PHP@Tessa_666@DieTukkerfries Maar mochten ze dat wel doen dan zou ik ze maar wat graag in het Nederlands antwoorden. En het lijkt me een kleine moeite voor de expats om te vragen of het gesprek in het Nederlands kan omdat ze willen oefenen. Ik denk dat veel mensen dat ook zouden doen.
@Robert_PHP@Tessa_666@DieTukkerfries Eerlijk gezegd vind ik dat een nogal (veelgehoord) onzinargument Ik woon in een van de meest verexpatiseerde buurten van Amsterdam en maak het zeer zelden mee dat een van die talloze expats (of buitenlandse studenten) mij of anderen zelf als eerste aanspreekt in het Nederlands 1/
