@FirstTake @stephenasmith Trust, but verify (with a little help from ChatGPT).

💰 NBA salary per minute played over the past 15 seasons.

Kawhi Leonard ranks 3rd highest at $14,974/minute, behind only Embiid and Zion.

Elite talent. Limited availability. Questionable return on investment.

[Dr. Phil Michailides @drphilmich]

This is the proper and most dignified way to end a career. Bravo. 👏

"When Phil Rizzuto became ill toward the end of his life, he was put in an assisted living facility which was about 30 minutes away from where Yogi Berra lived.
And every single day, because teammates were important to him, Yogi would drive there and he would play cards with Phil.
And then when Phil would start to fall asleep, Yogi would hold his hand and when Phil would finally go to sleep, that’s when Yogi would leave.
Every day.
That’s what teammates meant to him."

🚨𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Some members of FIFA's Executive Committee are calling for the resignation of President Gianni Infantino and are preparing a lawsuit against him.

This comes after revelations that FIFA allegedly bent the rules to favor a player and a country.

@AlertaNews24

[Samuel @SamueILFC]

Gianni Infantino needs to be kicked out of FIFA. He’s the worst thing to have ever happened to football.

[Kara @UTDKarra]

Repost if you think Gianni Infantino is the worst FIFA president ever.

[dave lawrence 🐟🐟🐠 @dave43law]

Been saying this all day

Share - it needs to happen

[Dr. Phil Michailides @drphilmich]

“independent” - 😉 wink, wink

[The Touchline | 𝐓 @TouchlineX]

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Infantino with a STATEMENT!

"FIFA's judicial bodies are independent.

Their independence is essential to the credibility and integrity of football, and it must always be respected.

Yes, I regularly speak with the President of the United States about World Cup matters, and I did receive a call from President Donald Trump.

During our conversation, I explained that an official judicial process involving FIFA's independent judicial bodies was underway, and that the case would be decided in due course by the competent authorities.

That is how FIFA's system works, and it is a principle I will always defend.

I read the decisions of FIFA's Disciplinary Committee when they are published. Sometimes they surprise me. Sometimes I agree with them, and sometimes I disagree.

What I always do, however, is respect those decisions and the independence of the bodies that make them."

[Dr. Phil Michailides @drphilmich]

I sure hope so. He crossed a serious “red” line

Sorry, this should disqualify the US from the tournament.

[Dr. Phil Michailides @drphilmich]

As they should

[lobistars🇳🇬 @john322226]

Belgium wants to cancel its match against the USA because FIFA reversed Balogun’s red card following pressure from Donald Trump.

USA decided to pressure FIFA because FIFA referee had refused to give Messi a red card for the same tackle that Balogun made.

[Dr. Phil Michailides @drphilmich]

Brilliant!

The worst President FIFA has ever had.

* Exactly

[Curtis Houck @CurtisHouck]

WATCH: 'CBS Mornings' speculates the USMNT is now "tainted" with "a stigma" and any wins against Belgium and beyond in the World Cup will have "an asterisk" because FIFA overturning Balogun's red card has "destroy[ed] the integrity of the competition"

[Dr. Phil Michailides @drphilmich]

100%

[Jack D 🏳️‍🌈 @JackDunc1]

Let's be really clear here, Belgium are not fussed about the player himself - they are fussed about the corruption and precedent set. They are willing to take a stand for the integrity of the sport, and that should be respected.

FIFA and the US should not get away with this.

[The Touchline | 𝐓 @TouchlineX]

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: The Royal Belgian Football Association has released a statement in regard to Folarin Balogun being able to play against them.

"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."
