"Anyone who has served in the Israeli Forces in Gaza since October 2023 should be considered a suspect in relation to war crimes, crimes against humanity, and the crime of genocide"
-Chris Sidoti, UN Commission of Inquiry on Palestine
URGENT! For any country where (from Italy to Thailand or Brazil) possible war criminals go on holiday and R&R. 🇮🇱 soldiers must be investigated, evidence assessed, and responsibility determined through DUE PROCESS.
This is not incitement to commit violence. It is accountability.
Terima kasih, Tim Nasional Iran.
Perjalanan di Piala Dunia 2026 mungkin harus terhenti di fase grup, tetapi perjuangan, semangat, dan dedikasi kalian akan selalu menjadi kebanggaan kami.
Kalian telah memberikan yang terbaik untuk bangsa. Terima kasih atas setiap tetes keringat, setiap perjuangan, dan setiap momen yang membuat kami bangga.
Semoga sukses di kompetisi-kompetisi mendatang. Kami akan selalu bersama kalian.
Kalian yang terbaik. ❤️⚽
Today VAR cancelled a Colombia goal based on a toe. In the camera angle they used to justify it, you can't see the player's foot at all. We know all players were 3D scanned before the tournament started to make these renderings. Is the computer calculating a probable foot position?
Kudos to Jose Mourinho, Alan Shearer and many other footballing figures who have called out the outrageous and impossible VAR offside decision against Iran.
But none of them has stated the truth: it was not incompetence, it was FIFA political corruption.
Meet Liav Goldstein, the man who oversees starvation and torture in Israeli concentration camps, according to a recent Haaretz exposé.
Make him famous.
impedimento milimétrico é ABSOLUTAMENTE anti-futebol
que vantagem o cara tem de ter a ponta do pé na frente? impedimento tinha que valer caso fosse meio corpo ou até o corpo inteiro na frente, tirando isso qualquer lance milimétrico deveria ser ignorado pq é uma MERDA
The US has seized $5.49 billion of Venezuela’s oil revenue in 2026, then offers just $150 million in earthquake aid while the UN estimates $6.7 billion in losses. It’s not relief, it’s extortion. At the same time, US has $30 billion of frozen assets while people are under rubble.
Thierry Henry on the VAR decision that denied Iran a last-minute winner against Egypt:
🗣️ “I genuinely feel sick for the Iranian players. They believed they had written one of the greatest moments in their country's football history, only for it to be ripped away in seconds. That's a pain no footballer should experience.”
“You cannot ask players to give everything for ninety minutes and then allow a decision like this to define their World Cup. If VAR is overturning goals of this magnitude, it has to be absolutely flawless. There is no room for doubt.”
“Look at the faces of the players, look at the supporters in the stands. Those weren't just tears over a goal—they were tears over a dream that disappeared in an instant. That's what makes this so heartbreaking.”
“This isn't just about Iran anymore. Every nation at this World Cup should be worried because if a moment like this can happen on football's biggest stage, it can happen to anyone. That's a frightening thought.”
“The officials will move on to the next game, but the Iranian players and their supporters will carry this moment for the rest of their lives. Some scars in football never truly heal.”
“If that decision was wrong, then football has failed Iran. A World Cup should be remembered for unforgettable goals and heroic performances not for a controversy that leaves millions wondering what might have been.”
Venezuelan Acting President Delcy Rodríguez met earlier today with Marine Corps Major General Kevin Jarrard, who has been tasked with overseeing US relief (and who knows what else) efforts in Venezuela in the wake of Wednesday's devastating earthquakes
REMINDER:
Iran faced:
- Visa issues
- Travel restrictions
- Supporters having ticket allocations revoked
- Their domestic league suspended since February due to the war, affecting 17 of the 26-man squad
- Constant political pressure from the media
Yet they finished their 2026 FIFA World Cup group stage undefeated.
3 matches.
3 draws.
3 goals scored.
They refused to be beaten.
Bravo, Iran.👏 🇮🇷
El capitán de la Selección de Irán, Mehdi Taremi, explotó contra la FIFA y la organización de Estados Unidos.
“Esta es una Copa del Mundo desastrosa. Como jugadores profesionales no podemos jugar una competición en estas condiciones, no está bien ni es justo. Si la FIFA piensa que esto es justo, tema de ellos, pero no lo es. ¿Quién debería solucionar este problema por nosotros? ¿La FIFA? ¿EE.UU.? ¡No sé! Díganme un nombre. El presidente de la FIFA, Gianni Infantino, vino a nuestro vestuario después del primer partido contra Nueva Zelanda y dijo que iba a resolver todos los problemas, pero en realidad, la FIFA no hizo nada. Respondiendo la pregunta de: "¿Sienten que los organizadores de la Copa del Mundo, incluidos la FIFA y los funcionarios estadounidenses, prefieren que Irán sea eliminado de la competencia?", digo: Tenemos que luchar contra absolutamente todo. No podemos quedarnos en el país, viajamos y nos sometemos a controles migratorios cada vez que queremos jugar, ahora no podemos quedarnos en Seattle y tenemos que volver a Tijuana. Han hecho todo lo posible para eliminarnos, entonces desde nuestra perspectiva, sí, creo que lo quieren así, nos quieren afuera”.
🇺🇸🇻🇪 Trump on Venezuela: "We hit them so hard and now we've taken out millions of barrels of oil.
Outside of the earthquake, the people are happy and dancing in the streets."

Si EEUU quiere ayudar a Venezuela en la gestión de los terremotos que levante su bloqueo y devuelva a Maduro. Si el Reino Unido quiere ayudar a Venezuela que le retorne sus 31 toneladas de lingotes de oro. Y si la UE quiere ayudar a Venezuela que retire todas sus sanciones.
@cgpoggio Essa guerra é, antes de mais nada, a economia. Alguém sabe como está a economia da Ucrânia??
Alguém sabe quantos bilhões de Euros vai querer arcar enquanto se aproxima as eleições??
🇧🇷🇻🇪 Brasil enviará no sábado (27/06) mais um pacote de ajuda humanitária para a Venezuela, com um cargueiro KC-390 carregado com equipamentos para montar um hospital de campanha, 100 purificadores de água, painéis solares, medicamentos e material médico para cirurgias.
If you've asked yourself, "What would it take for the US to lift sanctions against a given country?", the answer is NOT "a devastating double earthquake in which the US projects a death toll over 10k."
The US Treasury only issued a general license (i.e. a sanctions waiver) authorizing transactions related to earthquake relief efforts. However, Venezuelan state institutions still have their assets abroad (like bank accounts) frozen, and this license explicitly says they are not unblocked, so plenty of hurdles will remain. #SanctionsKill
