Goodbye Elon. Hello Bluesky.

Farage is a Russian agent, just like Trump.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Infantino must go.

No matter where it’s held, the World Cup belongs to the fans – not gangsters like Trump.

We need someone who’ll finally kick corruption out of FIFA.

[Kieran Maguire @KieranMaguire]

Just a reminder that shortly after being appointed president in 2017 that Infantino was instrumental in a major FIFA overhaul that ousted the two independent co-chairmen of the Ethics Committee, Cornel Borbély and Hans-Joachim Eckert. At the time, the committee was actively investigating… Infantino

Well done @POTUS - YOU MADE BELGIUM GREAT AGAIN

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Dear @FA, can we invite Mexico for a Wembley friendly, please? Outside Azteca, England fans swapping shirts with Mexicans, England fans and Mexicans drinking and singing together. Mexico been wonderful hosts. Be great to see them and their fans at Wembley. Not been since 2010.

BREAKING: Donald Trump has just called Gianni Infantino and asked FIFA to “just find 4 more goals.”

[Spencer Hakimian @SpencerHakimian]

JUST IN: Trump says Belgium is 2 weeks away from developing a nuclear bomb.

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: The Royal Belgian Football Association has released a statement in regard to Folarin Balogun being able to play against them.

"The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) is astonished by FIFA's decision to declare suspended United States player Folarin Balogun eligible to play in the USA–Belgium match on Monday, 6 July at 5:00 p.m. (Seattle time)."

"FIFA bases its decision on Article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code. This provision states that the FIFA Disciplinary Committee may decide to suspend the enforcement of a previously imposed disciplinary sanction."

"However, Article 66.4 of the same FIFA Disciplinary Code clearly provides that a red card (sending-off) automatically results in a suspension for the team's next match, as has been the case for all previous red cards issued during this FIFA World Cup."

"Furthermore, and irrespective of the above, the decision is in direct contradiction with the provisions of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Competition Regulations, as set out in Article 10.5:

"If a player or team official is sent off as a result of a direct or indirect red card (second caution), they will automatically be suspended from their team's subsequent match. In addition, further sanctions may be imposed."

"The automatic nature of such a suspension was also explicitly reaffirmed in FIFA World Cup 2026 Circular No. 16, which was distributed to all participating member associations on 12 May 2026."

"The same rule is reiterated at every FIFA World Cup 2026 Match Coordination Meeting prior to each match and is included in all FIFA World Cup 2026 workshop presentations.

"In order to safeguard the legitimate rights of all participating teams and to protect the fundamental principles of fair play in our sport, both at this FIFA World Cup and at future editions of the tournament, the RBFA is investigating all potential options."

@FIFAcom @FIFAWorldCup Os EUA deixarem árbitros, comissões técnicas, jornalistas e torcedores sem vistos para entrar no país conta como nova regra da Copa do Mundo? Ou a discriminação sistemática de seleções e torcedores conforme seu país de origem?

[Black Diamond @Diamond_Blackie]

@FIFAcom @FIFAWorldCup Referee Mr Omar Artan would have been one of the best referees to uphold these new laws of the game, as he is one of the best in Africa. Well, we shall see how it goes and if the laws will be upheld consistently for every nation, regardless of the script.

[Sarrah Bellus @sarrah_bellus]

The boos did not come through like this on the TV broadcast, this is BRUTAL

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

BREAKING: Scott Pelley Just Made A Pretty Stunning Allegation.

According to Pelley, CBS leadership wanted a story about the killing of ICE protester Renée Good changed to better match Trump's version of events.

Pelley says he was told management wanted protesters portrayed as more violent and wanted Good described as driving toward the officer who shot her. He says the video evidence showed otherwise.

Then came the admission.

"There was a thumb on the scale for the president's version of events."

A veteran journalist with 37 years at CBS is alleging political pressure was applied to change the facts of a story.

That's a remarkable accusation.

Mehdi Hasan slams Elon Musk, "He is obsessed with finding these cases where he can then amplify far right voices"

"He doesn't just do it in England with Tommy Robinson, he does it in German with the AfD, obviously he does it in the US with Twitter"

Victoria Derbyshire, "What is he seeking to do?"

Mehdi Hasan, "He's seeking to embolden some of the worst far right voices in the Western world"

"That's why he's funding so many people all over the place"

"This is his agenda. It's a very racist agenda. We see that in the US with the Republican party"

"Elon Musk amplifies some of the most neo-nazi voices on Twitter"

"You can take the boy out of apartheid South Africa, can you take apartheid South Africa out of the boy?"
