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.
Oh you mean the 35 year old journeyman who has only scored more than 9 goals in a season only once in his whole career; who has been relegated 6 times in 12 years, and whose most recent club just got relegated to the 3rd division (and promptly released him as a free agent), wasn't qualified to captain and lead the line for one of Africa's most important world cup teams?
You mean his surname shouldn't have given him an automatic starting spot and >70 mins guaranteed playing time in every game, keeping better players on the bench for no reason? You mean after he was taken off and the player that replaced him gave Ghana its only win at the tournament, that player shouldn't have been rewarded by being padlocked to the bench for the rest of the tournament even when Ghana desperately needed a goal?
You don't say.
Eventually someone will break this bullshit conspiracy of silence one day, and they will tell the true story of what the hell the Ayew family has over the GFA that keeps getting Jordan and Andre picked 5 years after they should have voluntarily retired from international football if they had any honour and self respect.
Today, France’s Les Bleus return to the NYNJ Stadium to take on Sweden’s Blågult.
Will Ousmane Dembélé score another hat trick in the first 25 minutes? Or will Sweden bring the same fire from their 5-1 win over Tunisia? Anything can happen.
But one thing is certain: we’ll be here at 8:30AM with the latest weather, traffic, and transit updates before the match — as always.

Guardiola foi um agente infiltrado no futebol alemão para rebaixa-los ao nível do futebol espanhol
Seleção alemã era uma máquina de futebol metódico e agora virou essa punhetação espanhola de toquinho de bola

This is what the African nations especially have been pointing out. Others have been able to come and showcase their culture and fans, but this country’s racism is so blatant that it’s prohibited a wider cultural exchange. It’s so against what the World Cup is as a social event.
World Cup scoring strategies:
Argentina: pass the ball to Messi
Portugal: pass the ball to Ronaldo
England: pass the ball to Kane
Spain: pass the ball to Lamal
France: pass the ball to Mbappé or Dembélé or Olise or Doué or Barcola or Cherki or Thuram or

I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday.
1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away.
2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark.
3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost.
4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper.
5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something.
6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won.
7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field.
The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.
