Some may have wondered why I've got a picture of chicks as my display. It was the only pic on my desktop when I made this account, back in 2011, and I don't plan on changing it anytime soon lol.
💣🚨 BREAKING: Paraguay 🇵🇾 Files an Official Complaint to FIFA Over Inconsistencies.
Paraguay Football Federation files official complaint to FIFA over alleged inconsistent application of the new mouth-covering rule at the 2026 World Cup.
In a strongly worded letter, Paraguay officials cited the England vs Ghana Group L match, pointing out multiple instances most notably involving Jude Bellingham where England players appeared to cover their mouths during heated confrontations with Ghana opponents, yet no red cards were issued.
This comes just days after Paraguay’s own Miguel Almirón became the first player in World Cup history to receive a straight red for the exact same offence against Türkiye (refereed by Iván Barton).

FIFA has confirmed receipt of the complaint and says it will review the incidents. More to follow…
What do you think fair complaint or sour grapes? 👀
The Independent Int'l Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory presents new report to the UN Human Rights Council.
"The evidence shows that Palestinian children have been deliberately targeted & killed by the Israeli security forces."

Respectfully. This is excessive. The outcome very unfortunate but the punishment does not fit the crime. This is not on officials to determine the match suspension. This was not violent conduct & the challenge was an attempt to play ball. This is too much. #redcard#suspension
I love Albania for this.
This is how it began for the Palestinians— the Rothschilds and their agents buying up land. What came next was the Nakba and the erasure of their identity, followed by today’s Holocaust.
Fight Israeli settlers like the hell that you will endure if you don’t. This is the only way.

IRANIAN PRESIDENT: “If we did not have our defensive missiles, Israel and America would have plowed through Iran the way Gaza was plowed through, showing no mercy to the old or the young. They speak of human rights. It is a great lie.”
It’s a hard truth to hear, but it’s true.
THIS IS FUCKING SICK ✡️🇮🇱
Israelis are setting up outdoor screens to stream and cheer as entire Lebanese towns are wiped to rubble by the IDF.
These are ordinary civilians, not soldiers or officials, gathering to applaud destruction and death.
@Reuters "... an independent UN inquiry said" instead of "... an independent UN inquiry found" is Reuters' way of shedding doubt on this finding.
Reuters continues to do linguistic gymnastics to shield Israel.
Israeli authorities and security forces deliberately targeted Palestinian children, resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza, and war crimes in the occupied West Bank, an independent UN inquiry said https://t.co/61poVhRzmR
Here we go again. This is SO exhausting and I can’t even begin to imagine how mentally draining it must be for the Iranian squad.
It is long past time for other national teams to stand with Iran and speak up. This treatment is outrageous and deeply unfair.
🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Iran claim their national team's trip to Seattle has been delayed after captain Mehdi Taremi and assistant manager Saeed Alhoei were reportedly stopped by U.S. authorities at the airport.
The rest of the squad is waiting for them before departing for the match against Egypt.

The Norwegian Viking Row is objectively cool.
But this type of mass, coordinated fan activity depends on having lots of fans who could get visas and afford exorbitant tickets.
Countries like Senegal have fan culture that’s just as good. But we don’t get to see it
