Can’t say I’m a huge fan of “the beautiful game” but it’s being shown up for the sham that it is.

🚨 WTF?! The US State Department arrogantly claims they issued "necessary" visas for Iran, while deliberately denying entry to the team's coach and manager!

Washington is brazenly dictating who is allowed to participate in a global sporting event. Pure discrimination!

“For the first time in British history, protesters are due to be sentenced as terrorists. Please join us at Woolwich Crown Court on the 12th of June if you can.”

@SuzieWo20886208 Good afternoon

[Theresa Fallon @TheresaAFallon]

After all the protests against the proposed Jared Kushner resort in Albania, PM Edi Rama confirmed that it is going ahead. Will this affect Albania's efforts to join the EU? 🧐

Even Hitler's Germany did not prevent athletes and officials from entering the country to take part in the 1936 Olympics.

This is pristine racism and @FIFAcom stands disgraced for allowing Trump to disfigure the beautiful game in this way.

Did any white teams get treated like this, or is this treatment reserved for Senegal? Bizarre

This World Cup is going to be remembered for all the wrong reasons.

He had watch parties shut down so he could go to the arena and sleep?

[Sangita Myska @SangitaMyska]

🚨2. Here are some of the great writers, journalists & broadcasters that will also be onboard as we work to get Zeteo UK off the ground... @zeteo_news

[Sangita Myska @SangitaMyska]

🚨1. More professional news: I’m thrilled to be joining forces with @mehdirhasan and other colleagues to launch Zeteo UK. It’s a brilliant opportunity, alongside my other work, to help shape the fast growing independent media landscape with fresh perspectives and strong voices - rooted in solid journalism. @zeteo_news

I’ve never been more disgusted by a WC host. Look FIFA will always choose a corrupt human rights violator that throws money at them in an effort to whitewash their image, but at least they organize the WC. The US is ruining the WC to brag to the world about its fascism

He shut down the largest city in the country to get booed and fall asleep.

I think that if you understand what’s happening here as “none of us have a clue what we’re doing but we’ve bought these magic beans off a wizard and we’re quite optimistic” then that will cover you for most of the ensuing outcomes.

I love Andrew Gilligan. Every time I get elected to anything, he runs the same hit piece.

Such original, very journalism.

[Planeta do Futebol 🌎 @futebol_info]
