@_WokeNonsenseFC Why???…… why are we “witnessing the death of the sport”??

[Chadwick @CMS61263]

@Darren_Oakley @BBCSport Wow…… I bet you drag your woman around by the hair before you go and pop a few flags up and head off to the George & Dragon for a few pints with the rest of the knuckle dragging sort 🙄

@mrdanwalker Wish my timeline was like this. 90% of mine are gang shootings in South America, bar fights in the UK and far right/US activists (including Laurence Fox and Elon Musk) trying to incite a civil war here…… It’s a depressing cesspit 😔

🚨🗣️New: Thierry Henry reacts to the USA vs Paraguay stoppage for TV commercials:

“I’ve spent my entire life in this beautiful game — as a player at the highest level, as a fan, and now as someone who analyses it every week — and what unfolded during that USA versus Paraguay match left me deeply frustrated. The fourth official standing there on the touchline, arm raised high, instructing the referee to hold the restart… not for any injury, not for tactical reasons, and not even primarily for player hydration in that scorching heat. No. It was because the broadcast team hadn’t finished airing all their commercials. That’s not football. That’s a television show pretending to be a World Cup match.

The beautiful game is being strangled by greed. Players are out there in the heat, ready to restart, momentum building like a storm about to break — and we pause everything so the sponsors can cash in. It’s like stopping a symphony mid-crescendo because the advertisers want their jingle heard. Football didn’t conquer the world by turning into American sports with endless timeouts and ad breaks. We had rhythm, flow, emotion that flowed like a river. Now? It’s dammed up for dollars.

This isn’t about hydration or player welfare anymore — it’s a slippery slope where the soul of the game is sold piece by piece. Fans deserve better. Players deserve better. The referee on that pitch looked like a puppet on strings controlled from some broadcast truck. Enough is enough. We need to protect what made this sport the greatest on Earth before it disappears completely.”

The World Cup should be football’s cathedral. Instead, we’re turning it into a shopping mall with a pitch in the middle.

And here’s the question nobody wants to answer: if the fourth official is waiting for commercials, then who is really running the game? FIFA? The referee? Or the broadcasters?

Because the moment football starts asking advertisers for permission before asking the players, you’ve crossed a line.

The World Cup is supposed to be the showcase of football. Not the showcase of who paid the most for airtime.”

@rustyrockets Unlucky Brand….. just a bit of shouting from the Neanderthals. You need to bother yourself less with this nonsense and focus on your own upcoming issues

[Chadwick @CMS61263]

@rustyrockets Not “massive” though are they??…… 🙄

[Chadwick @CMS61263]

@NickNbutch @ITVworldcup Yeah because your opinion is SO important…🙄

[Chadwick @CMS61263]

@uncle90705 Thanks for your considered view and for sharing that view with us. I feel so much better and it’s weird because the last line of your post was exactly the thought I was left with, having considered your pointless comment

[Dan Walker @mrdanwalker]

Football remains the beautiful game but the men who run it are managing to severely damage its reputation and it looks like they will be pressing the accelerator throughout this World Cup. It is incredibly sad.

[Chadwick @CMS61263]

@TomK_Brit1993 No he didn’t

Rute Cardoso, Diogo Jota's wife, has penned a heartfelt letter to Andy Robertson as part of FIFA’s ‘Letters that Unite’ initiative leading up to the World Cup. ❤️🇵🇹🏴

In her message, she writes: "Andy, I reach out to you with a heart overflowing with longing, gratitude, and above all, pride. Diogo often mentioned you, reflecting on the friendship you forged, the battles you fought together, the challenges faced, the laughter shared, and the deep conversations about football and dreams.

“The World Cup was one of those cherished dreams, one that you both nurtured together with an unwavering passion as you took to the field. When I heard your emotions and learned about your feelings the day Scotland finally qualified for the World Cup after so many years, it struck me that Diogo never truly left the game.

"By securing that moment and earning your spot at the World Cup, you won’t be alone; you’ll be carrying his dream along with you. And as you step onto the field, I know it won’t just be you out there; Diogo will accompany you in your thoughts, in your movements, and in your heart.

"Today, I want to express my gratitude. Thank you for keeping his memory alive. Thank you for taking him with you. Thank you for transforming the pain of loss into strength and creating something so beautiful. That's how we carry on here at home every day. He would be immensely proud of you.

"Treasure that dream, Andy. Live it for yourself and for him. With love, gratitude, and all my support, Rute Cardoso." ❤️

Ian Wright is an absolute hero for saying how we all feel about this World Cup…

“I've just read that the Somalian referee has been denied entry. Every few hours it's another story, another story about fans denied, players denied, officials denied, journalists denied, now refs," Wright said.

"You know something I'm laughing but it's not funny, it's actually not funny and something has to be said.

"The expensive tickets, the most expensive tickets ever, expensive accommodation, transport through the roof. It has to be said.

"Is this how the hosts behave really for the greatest game, the greatest tournament in the world, is this how the hosts behave?

"Are we not hearing more? Are we seeing how Qatar got dragged, are we not hearing more? Is this the spirit of football, really?

"You know who I feel for? I feel for the American fans who are desperate for this, American soccer fans who are desperate for this, how embarrassed they must be. How embarrassing for them this must be.

"This is the World Cup, this is a World Cup of chaos. Whoever wins this World Cup is going to have to go through some serious chaos to get this done.

"I hope we can do it, but something has to be said now. This is the World Cup."
