Good morning, blurry-eyed Mondayers.

It's still coming home.

This is outrageous. In no way is this the right thing to do. Shame on FIFA (again)

🚨⚠️ OFFICIAL: Belgian Federation statement on Folarin Balogun red card case, saying they are “astonished”.

“The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) is astonished by FIFA's decision to declare suspended United States player Folarin Balogun eligible to play in the USA–Belgium match on Monday, 6 July at 5:00 p.m. (Seattle time).
FIFA bases its decision on Article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code.

This provision states that the FIFA Disciplinary Committee may decide to suspend the enforcement of a previously imposed disciplinary sanction.
However, Article 66.4 of the same FIFA Disciplinary Code clearly provides that a red card (sending-off) automatically results in a suspension for the team's next match, as has been the case for all previous red cards issued during this FIFA World Cup.
Furthermore, and irrespective of the above, the decision is in direct contradiction with the provisions of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Competition Regulations, as set out in Article 10.5:
"If a player or team official is sent off as a result of a direct or indirect red card (second caution), they will automatically be suspended from their team's subsequent match. In addition, further sanctions may be imposed.”
The automatic nature of such a suspension was also explicitly reaffirmed in FIFA World Cup 2026 Circular No. 16, which was distributed to all participating member associations on 12 May 2026.
The same rule is reiterated at every FIFA World Cup 2026 Match Coordination Meeting prior to each match and is included in all FIFA World Cup 2026 workshop presentations.

❗️In order to safeguard the legitimate rights of all participating teams and to protect the fundamental principles of fair play in our sport, both at this FIFA World Cup and at future editions of the tournament, the RBFA is investigating all potential options.”

"This afternoon, Burnham is taking a break, watching his rugby league team, Leigh Leopards, take on the Warrington Warriors. And tomorrow night he'll stay up with his family to watch England play Mexico."

Warrington Warriors

Probably worth a quick fact check before publishing.

@wonkyalison As a Wire fan, I'm furious.

A three-Brit podium at #Silverstone this weekend?

Some effort by DRC.

All set for England's appointment with Dr Congo in the World Series of Soccer. Play ball!

Good morning, blurry-eyed football friends especially from Germany and the Netherlands.

We know your pain.

Questioning my life choices, watching England struggle against Panama while Lee Dixon provides expert co-commentary.

[Diabetic Dad @DiabeticDadUK]

@buzyizzy21 Worth noting that not everything I post is 100% serious.

[Diabetic Dad @DiabeticDadUK]

Good morning, clammy Britainers. The historic 7-day summer is coming to an end. Fans were sold out, air con units changed hands for 200% the list price, dogs weren't walked, and ginger people are on life support.

We made it! Now 51 weeks of drizzle.

[Diabetic Dad @DiabeticDadUK]

Great weather for football #PANENG 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[Diabetic Dad @DiabeticDadUK]

@TeemuTagg Aww I'm glad it's helping you.

[Diabetic Dad @DiabeticDadUK]

@ashawolves Ah, I see. Yeah, extreme heat does impact my blood glucose occasionally. Fortunately, tech saves me from the worst of it.

[Diabetic Dad @DiabeticDadUK]

@ashawolves Heat is better for me in what regard?
