🚨🗣️ Wayne Rooney: "Daylight robbery man, this is unacceptable. How is that offside when the ball clearly hit the head of Veiga! Saw Modric laugh and I said yeah the ref is a joke."

"Ronaldo and Roberto Martinez should know they don't deserve this win."

No trajectory changed
Not even changed the speed of the ball.
This should consider no touch in football(soccer)

Zoomed in angle of touch for Croatia’s disallowed goal. What do you think guys?

[Dan @CfcDan_01]

🚨Zlatan Ibrahimovic on VAR after Croatia’s last-minute equaliser vs Portugal was ruled out:*

This referees are doing everything possible for Ronaldo to win the world cup but they will say Messi is the FIFA boy , This ball was never an Offside because the ball didn't touch the Croatia player , This is pure daylight robbery.

"The referee and VAR have just erased what should have been one of the greatest moments of this World Cup.”

"Let’s be clear: if you’re going to cancel a goal in the 90th minute, the evidence has to be beyond doubt. I’ve watched the incident multiple times, from every angle, and I still don’t see anything conclusive enough to overturn it.”

"If you’re in that VAR room for minutes, pausing, zooming, drawing lines to a shoulder, a boot, a heel… it’s not clear and obvious. And if it’s not clear, the goal must stand. That’s the whole point of VAR.”

"The referee has allowed technology to become the main character. But fans don’t fill stadiums or stay up late to watch a screen. They come for football — for drama, for emotion, for moments you remember forever.”

"Croatia showed real fight. They dug in, they scored late, they thought they’d earned a dramatic equaliser to keep their dream alive. Then one decision ripped it away, and that decision will be argued about for years.”

"This is why confidence in VAR is collapsing. It’s no longer fixing obvious mistakes. It’s hunting millimeters that nobody in the stadium can see with their own eyes. That’s not what football is supposed to be.”

"I feel for those Croatian players more than anything. You celebrate, you believe your World Cup is back on, and then it’s gone in seconds. For me, the referee on the pitch and VAR in the booth both got it wrong.

🚨 Luka Modrić on Croatia’s controversial last-minute disallowed goal against Portugal:

🗣️ “This is football. Not a courtroom, not a lab where we freeze every frame and argue over centimetres.
Tonight we gave everything against a very good Portugal team. We were still fighting deep into stoppage time. The boys kept believing, kept pushing, and when that ball went in through Josko we thought we had it — equaliser, extra time, everything still possible.
Then VAR comes in and takes it away because of a touch earlier in the move. I respect the officials, I really do. But the rule is clear and obvious error. Was this one? These little things, these marginal calls where players are fighting for every inch… that’s football. That’s what defenders and attackers do every single day.
If we start ruling out goals like that in the last seconds because of a split-second touch or a shoulder or a toe, then what are we left with? The game loses its soul. The emotion, the chaos, the moments that make people fall in love with football — they get taken away by technology that was only supposed to fix the obvious mistakes.
We accept that sometimes the ball doesn’t go your way. We’ve done it our whole careers. But when the decision feels like it rewrites the last chapter of the match instead of just correcting something clear, it hurts. Not just us in the dressing room, but everyone who was watching and living every second with us.
Portugal deserved to go through, they’re a strong side and they showed it. But nights like this make you wonder where the game is heading. We play with our hearts, we fight until the whistle, and then one review decides everything.
That’s not protecting football anymore. That’s changing it into something else.”

Bookseller Lam Wing-kee's died of cancer at age 70. In 2015 he was disappeared by the CCP for selling books in #HongKong & held for 8mo. Upon release he spoke out about his abduction. In 2019 he fled to Taiwan where he reopened Causeway Bay Books. An HK hero, may he rest in peace

[Michael Ron Bowling @mrbcyber]

The Chinese government is extending its police state around the world

Recently passed ethnic unity rules give the CCP the 'legal right' to use transnational repression. Critics of the government will also be at risk if they pass thru China while traveling 🔗

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

From @WSJopinion: China’s “ethnic unity” law means repression without borders. To see where this leads, look at Tibet, where Beijing perfected its system of social control, writes Richard Gere.

German Government presents sweeping reform package:
- scraps many corporate reporting requirements
- cuts job security
- cuts taxes for low and medium incomes while raising top income taxes
Asked about impact on China policy, Merz stressed Germany "must become more competitive" but will "defend itself" against unfair trade practices and rare earth dependencies.

“That is not unity. It is tyranny.” @CECCgov Co-Chair Chris Smith and Commissioner @RepMcGovern introduced a resolution condemning the #CCP ’s repression of ethnic and religious minorities and the so-called Law on the Promotion of #EthnicUnity and Progress.

現在開催中のFIFAワールドカップ2026において、サッカー日本代表は決勝トーナメントに進み、優勝候補の一角であるブラジルと対戦し、見事な戦いぶりを見せてくださいました。

私は生中継では観られず、昨夜、ようやくブラジル戦を拝見できました。

今大会、日本選手の皆様は、個々の能力の高さに加え、強い団結力と選手主体のゲーム運びで、一試合の歴代最多得点を記録するなど、日本の強さを大いに発揮してくださいました。

ブラジル戦では、先制するもあと一歩のところで勝利には及びませんでしたが、強豪相手に果敢に挑み続ける姿は、多くの国民の皆様に勇気と感動を届けてくださいました。

ケガで出場できなかった選手の想いを背負い、チーム全員が声を掛け合い、最後まで全力を出し尽くす選手や監督・スタッフの皆様に、胸を打たれました。

この素晴らしい戦いを見せてくださった、日本選手の皆様、森保監督をはじめスタッフの皆様、日本サッカー協会の皆様に、心より感謝を申し上げますとともに、今後の更なるご活躍をお祈り申し上げます。
そして、次こそは、是非とも悲願の優勝を成し遂げていただきたいと思います。

これからも、応援してまいります！
