A White House visit is in the works for @FreddyLA7, the German soccer fan who has gone viral documenting his American travels during the World Cup.
Trump administration official Nick Adams told FOS the two are in contact about a visit.
He hustled and now he gets exclusive access to events/games, meets and interviews players, is on Sky Sports and other major broadcasters, and gets to travel the world. Did it organically too with no connections. 5-6 years ago he just was another guy on FT like the rest of us.
Fun World Cup Fact:
The @guardian story, later amplified by @Reuters, that 6,500 migrant workers died building Qatarโs World Cup stadiums was bogus.
The 6,500 figure was actually the TOTAL number of people from Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, and Sri Lanka who died in Qatar from 2011-2020, regardless of occupation or cause of death.
Thatโs 650 deaths per year across nearly 2 million expats from those five nationalities: a yearly mortality rate of just 0.0325% from ALL causes. The yearly mortality rate for QATARIS was actually higher at 0.0571%.
The real number of deaths among workers involved in stadium construction was 40. Of those, 37 were non-work-related. Only 3 were construction accidents.
For comparison: Brazil had 8 World Cup construction deaths. Russia had 21.
So how did Qatar maintain such a low fatality rate despite building far more infrastructure?
By implementing some of the strictest worker safety measures ever seen at a World Cup, including mandatory StayQool cooling suits with patented heat-management technology that may eventually become standard for construction workers worldwide.
Instead of having any kind of humility and learning from these developments, they chose racism and straight up lying.

Incredible send-off ๐

This is almost identical to the Ramos challenge on Salah in the 2018 UCL final, except Mendes here doesnโt deliberately hook Madueke down like Ramos did to Salah.
And Real Madrid fans still try arguing to this day that it wasnโt deliberate ๐คฃ
Mohamed Salahโs career Liverpool G/A
293 (!) of Salahโs 380 G/A (77%) were either:
โข Liverpoolโs first goal
โข The gameโs first goal
โข To put Liverpool ahead
โข To equalise for Liverpool
โข When Liverpool were losing
โข To put Liverpool two goals ahead
๐๐ช๐ฌ
Salah averaged 31 G/A (21G/10A) per PL season across 9 seasons at Liverpool.
To show how mental that is, only TWO Liverpool players not named Salah have ever recorded 30+ G/A in a single PL season - Fowler (x2) and Suarez.
Anyone else just feel empty right now? Like weโve just lost the greatest ever and heโs never playing for this football club again. I genuinely donโt know how I move forward watching football without feeling sadness. He changed my life man.
Brilliant article. I highly recommend everyone read this. Simon has been here since the beginning, even going on mainstream media during Salahโs first season to highlight his brilliance.
โEvery few months football found a new favourite.
The data kept finding Salah.โ
