@MickyJnr__ Those travel bans started the exact day Trump took over. Yet FIFA stripped Indonesia’s hosting rights despite total presidential security guarantees. Why the double standards? It’s like banning a tricycle for safety while letting a burning petrol tanker race. Properly corrupt.
BBC journalist to Infantino: “Are you embarrassed by what’s happening at this World Cup and have you lost control of the tournament?”

Hodak believes the teams that balance elite talent with collective spirit will stand above the rest.
'Individual quality and team spirit will decide the World Cup.'
Spain, Portugal, France and Argentina may thrive if their dressing rooms stay united under pressure, says ex-Persib Bandung coach Bojan Hodak of the favourites in the World Cup. #fifa2026#fifaworldcup

'Croatia are missing attacking players, fast players who can do something one-on-one. I hope they can go through the group stage, but I don't see them in the final.'
'Ronaldo has passed his peak. But even for 10 or 15 minutes he can make the difference because his timing is still perfect.
'The question is how he will accept this role. If he accepts helping the team and coming from the bench, he can still be useful.'
The biggest World Cup in history risks becoming the least accessible one.

#NSTsports Before a single ball has even been kicked, the World Cup has already descended into a logistical and political nightmare, with visa chaos, border crackdowns, soaring costs and furious fans overshadowing the build-up.

Just Fontaine scored 13 goals in one World Cup in 1958.
Nearly 70 years later, the record still stands.
Could 2026 finally change that? ⚽ #fifa2026#fifahistory

Iran’s national football team should retain lawyers and take @FIFAcom to the Football Tribunal or the Court of Arbitration for Sport for violating its obligation to provide World Cup tournament teams with equal conditions in the US.
If Iran’s team has to sleep in a different country on every game day, ALL TEAMS should endure the same conditions. It’s only fair.
Sue the bastards. It’s the American way.

The AFC audit revealed many shocking details, and it is only right for new people to govern Malaysian football.

Presiden Kehormat FAM Tan Sri Hamidin Mohd Amin tampil pertahan FAM dengan menegaskan badan induk itu tidak melanggar perlembagaan bagi pembentangan laporan kewangan yang konsisten saban tahun.
Hanya bajet kewangan tidak di bentang kan ke kongres sejak 2023 hingga 2025
