SNEAKO is heartbroken seeing Gazans gather to watch the World Cup despite everything they're enduring... yet nobody seems to care 💔🇵🇸
"Look at their faces. Look at their eyes. They're watching the same World Cup we are... surrounded by rubble, and everybody ignores them." 💔🇵🇸
England don’t worry there’s been a new rule set in this World Cup, if a player receives a red card they will still be allowed to play the next match and the player will serve their suspension after the World Cup ends
Stephen A. Smith claps back at Trump:
“The brother wasn't awake. If it was that important for you to be there, why did you look like you were asleep? Didn't you call out former President Joe Biden, 'Sleepy Joe'? Well, what should we call you?”

FIFA confirm Omar Abdulkadir Artan can’t officiate at the World Cup after being denied entry into the United States.
The Somali referee is one of Africa’s most respected officials. Somalia's Ministry of Youth and Sports say Artan travelled with a valid US visa.
Yet Somalia is on a travel ban list introduced by President Trump’s administration.
🗣️ “FIFA is not involved in host country immigration processes, including visa adjudications, and has been informed by authorities that Mr Artan's status will not be changed at present.
“In line with previous FIFA events, a host government ultimately determines who receives a visa and who is admitted into their country.”
