Gece, Hollanda penaltılarla Fas'a yenilerek Dünya Kupası'ndan elendi.
Hollanda vatandaşı Faslı gençler sevinmek istemişler, polis izin vermedi. "Fas için sevineceksen neden Hollanda vatandaşı oldun?" diye hesap sordular, gençleri copladılar.
Afrikalı bir takımın on dakika boyunca iyi futbol oynaması makul bir şeydir. Hatta sempatiktir de. Çünkü bir Afrika takımıyla karşılaşmak neredeyse garantilenmiş bir galibiyet demektir. Turnuvaya renk katar, sonra da evlerine dönerler.
Ama Avrupalı rakiplerini tedirgin eden, kazanan, hele ki eleyen bir Afrika takımı asla kabul edilebilecek bir şey değildir.
İşte bu nedenle, Avrupa takımlarının düne kadar tepeden baktığı 10 Afrika ülkesinden 9'unun son 32'ye kalması benim için 2026 Dünya Kupası'ndan kalan tek anlamlı anı olacak.
11 stars for the Confederate states instead of 13 stars for the original colonies is a detail most Americans won’t notice because of our public school system.
🚨#BREAKING: We are learning some INSANE details about the North Carolina jail where inmates overpowered guards and took control of the jail.
Apparently there were only 3 GUARDS ON DUTY at the jail for 88 inmates during the time of the takeover.
Yes, you read that right... three.
>At 5:00 AM inmates at the Bertie-Martin Regional Detention Center in North Carolina began rioting.
A few inmates overpowered two of the three guards and took control of the facility. The third guard escaped the jail and fled, while the other two guards are taken hostage.
The inmates that overpowered the guards assaulted the on-duty staff and then seized large portions of the building.
>At 9:30 AM, after hours of negotiation, the two hostage guards walk out and 18 inmates are also released with them.
>9:50 AM. A second large group of inmates exits the facility.
So far there have been no fatalities.
There are currently TWENTY law enforcement agencies on the scene to try to re-take control of the jail.
The inmates currently inside the jail are alleged to be armed with weapons.

I might be missing something, but why would Algeria be at fault? Algeria scored to win the game and then Austria complained to the refs and they found 3 more minutes to give Austria time to score? Is it suspected Algeria was complicit in Austria equalizing it?
Credible reports indicate that South Korea has filed a complaint with FIFA demanding an urgent investigation into the Algeria-Austria match, suspecting match-fixing.
If the investigation confirms wrongdoing, it is expected that both teams could be disqualified and replaced by Iran and South Korea. If FIFA takes this action, it will at least restore public confidence in the organization and its president. Trump's continued tenure is far from guaranteed; he is widely expected to be impeached by the end of 2026, and all the statistics point to this. Therefore, it would be in the FIFA president's best interest to at least investigate this outcome, restore his reputation, and disqualify the two teams, replacing them with Iran and South Korea.
We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas
Iran left a note in SoFi Stadium's locker room thanking LA for its hospitality at the World Cup.
"From the ancient Persia of thousands of years ago to the civilized Iran of today, the spirit of Iran remains alive and steadfast."
"We came to Los Angeles with pride, competed with honor, and leave with dignity."
"May peace, respect, and friendship prevail among all nations."
This is how you protest. Not with cutest signs, not with cringey chants. Not with stupid hats. You roll up your sleeves and fuck some shit up.
I never thought in 2026, that i’d be rooting for Albania and Iran. But here we are.
