It’s great to see Rooney getting this love, it’s funny when he critiqued Ronaldo and said he sacrificed a lot for him Ronaldo called him jealous and all the Ronaldo fan boys disrespected the best player to play for the club which was Rooney. No matter how you slice it Ronaldo was only better than Rooney the last 2 years max but overall Rooney was better than Ronaldo and did way more for the club
🥹💬 Wayne Rooney’s message to Kobbie Mainoo [via @BBCSport]:
“Hi Kobbie, just a quick message to say good luck at the World Cup. Just be yourself and you’ll be a star there mate.
“Also, how you’ve handled everything this season has been a lesson to all young football players, a great example to young and old players.
“And finally, you might not see, but having two lads in the United Academy, you should realise you are an inspiration to them and to the young lads there. Keep doing what you are doing, be yourself.
“Much love, Wazza.” #MUFC
@LBC@IainDale They genuinely don't know the difference between immigrants and illegal immigrants. And this is something the political class intentionally play on
The World Cup is meant to unite the world, yet ahead of 2026 World Cup we’re discussing shootings, visa restrictions, and fans being unable to attend. Qatar faced a ridiculous amount of scrutiny, but now many of the same voices are silent. The double standard is hard to ignore.
How comes there weren’t issues like this in Qatar? A country many of YOU journalists were bashing and trying to tell everyone it would be an absolute failure of a tournament?
Norway said that they are not going to play in World Cup in Qatar even if they qualified (they didn’t). Denmark left it until the last minute to confirm their participation in the World Cup 2022Germany forced their players to make political statements before the match in FIFA WC 2022 even though some players didn’t want to do it.
BBC literally disrupted the coverage of one of the best opening ceremonies of the World Cup in Qatar just for virtue signaling.
but for World Cup 2026, the whole media is silent other than a few token articles here and there and Norway and Germany aren’t protesting anything when there’s so much to protest about 🤡
News outlets in the West are a joke.
Football pundits are a disgrace.
All that energy for Qatar, Russia, and even South Africa.
But silence for the USA.
Despite blatant discrimination against people representing their nation in a sport where there's "no room for politics"
Suddenly all the people who cared about human rights when Russia and Qatar hosted the world cup and suddenly quiet. .. No fancy documentary from the BBC on immigrants rights. No expose on Crime in inner cities (as we saw in South Africa)
Just silence.
