Before #FIFA start pumping the propaganda tonight and telling us all how amazing this #WorldCup has been, let’s remember they oversaw:

- highest ticket prices ever and took a cut from resale sites.

- did nothing about Somalian referee and dozens of staff who were banned from entering the US for no legitimate reason.

- stood by as Iran were forced to train outside the US and travel in on match days.

- overturned red cards after phone calls with the president.

- Americanised the beautiful game with hydration (TV) breaks and 25 mins half time in the final

- guided Argentina through the tournament with less travel, VAR support and blatantly turning a blind due to their aggression and foul play.

Everyone was quick to judge this amazing Muslim woman for "catching" a seagull in a blanket.
Turns out she was rescuing it.

The young gull had fallen from a roof, and she was trying to get it safely back to a flat rooftop so it could reunite with its mother.

A reminder that short clips don't always tell the whole story. 🐦❤️

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

What a disgusting, repellent, racist pig. We all stand with you @KMbappe against this shameful woman who I sincerely hope is hounded out of her job asap. How the hell is she an elected senator in Paraguay?

[Wokerati Marty @WokeratiMarty]

I notice Nigel Farage had no problem at all with thrusting his daughter into the public spotlight when he was paid £1.5 million to be on I'm a Celebrity.

It’s always about the money with dodgy Nigel.

Excuse me, Sarah, before you finish you speech here goes an image worth a millin words:

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I know @realDonaldTrump and family did.

250 years ago we declared independence from a king who ran the colonies as a family business. In just 18 months the Trumps have made King George look like an amateur.

A $620 million Pentagon loan, the largest in the program’s history, to a company Don Jr.’s firm bought into three months before.

An Air Force drone contract to a startup the princelings took public through a golf course company they own a piece of.

The Army’s largest drone motor order ever, to a company where Don Jr. sits on the board and holds millions in stock.

A $24 million Pentagon robotics contract to the company that employs Eric as Chief Strategy Advisor.

A stake in the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit on earth, in Kazakhstan, backed by $1.6 billion in US government support.

Jared’s fund seeded with $2 billion from the Saudi crown prince, now $6.2 billion, 99% of it foreign money from Gulf governments. Over $110 million in fees collected from the Saudis alone. He negotiates American foreign policy with the governments that pay him.

$2.3 billion from crypto ventures their father regulates. More than a million people bought in and lost $2.3 billion. The money didn’t grow. It simply moved from the subjects pockets to the crown’s coffers.

And the next one is already drafted. A proposed ATF rule that will allow guns to be shipped straight to your front door. The government’s own estimate is 3.3 million home gun deliveries a year. Don Jr. sits on the board of the online gun megastore built to cash in. He holds 300,000 shares.

And that’s only the fraction they’ve allowed us to see. Not one subpoena served. Not one search executed. Why hide anything when you own the investigators?

Me? They searched a laptop for six years. Federal prosecutors. Grand juries. Subpoena power. Congressional hearings. They found nothing. I made about $200k a year selling paintings when my Dad was President, and they made my paintings part of an impeachment inquiry.

For six years they’ve asked Where’s Hunter? What about the laptop?

Wrong questions. The right one is 250 years old. Does America belong to a family?

They’ve given their answer. Long live the King.

FULL timeline of the campaign to bring Balogun back, according to a half dozen U.S. government & soccer officials:
- Wednesday after U.S.-Bosnia match: Andrew Giuliani alerted Trump to the red card (Trump & Giuliani had been talking multiple times/week since start of World Cup and regularly before that.)
- Wed night: Giuliani, Lutnick and U.S. Soccer officials began activating on plans to challenge red card
- That kicked off 4 days of coordinated lobbying, legal maneuvering & diplomacy that stretched from Oval Office to Zurich
- On *Thursday* Trump dialed Gianni Infantino and asked abt FIFA’s rules around the red card decision and grounds for suspension. (They’ve known each other for 8 yrs.)
- FIFA declined to confirm any specific discussions but reiterated to POLITICO that the decision to suspend the one-match ban was made by an independent disciplinary committee.
- As U.S. Soccer’s legal team formally prepared & submitted its appeal to FIFA, Giuliani + Lutnick offered to make White House attorneys available to assist
- At the same time, Giuliani and Scott Goodwin — a hedge-fund manager who had helped pay the salary of Mauricio Pochettino — zeroed in on the officiating history of referee Raphael Claus
-Articles examining previous controversies involving Claus circulated among senior gov officials as they evaluated every argument that could bolster the appeal
- On FIFA side, Emilio García, who oversees the legal affairs of FIFA, advised Infantino on the available procedural options
- García + other FIFA officials worked to determine whether the circumstances of Balogun’s tackle met the narrow standards that would allow the disciplinary decision to be revisited
- By Sunday, FIFA announced that Balogun’s one-match suspension would be suspended
- FIFA insists that the decision was an independent one made by its 18-person disciplinary committee, but it would not say whether the decision was decided through a vote, and it has not published a report on the decision.

Reform is now funded by 3 billionaires.

Christopher Harborne - a tax exile living tax free in Thailand under their special tax regime

Ben Delo - a tax exile living tax free in Hong Kong under their special tax regime

Sasan Ghandehari - a tax exile living tax free in Switzerland under their special tax regime

The party of the people.

[Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe]

The irony of Trump calling FIFA to overturn
a red card for Balogun because he knows the U.S. can’t win without Balogun, who only qualifies for the U.S. team because of birthright citizenship, which Trump just tried to overturn.

[OptaJohan @OptaJohan]

0 - Since the introduction of yellow and red cards at the 1970 edition, no player has ever received a red card and gone on to play in his team's next match at the FIFA World Cup.

Unprecedented.

BREAKING 🚨🚨🚨

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has held talks with Donald Trump over the possibility of the US being given a 1 goal head start in their World Cup tie against Belgium as a “gesture of goodwill.”

Now we know why Coutts bank wanted fuck all to do with Farage.

[Melissa Reddy @MelissaReddy_]

Still staggered that with 85 minutes on the clock, Senegal were comfortably heading through to the round of 16, only to get taken to extra time and lose to the latest goal scored in World Cup history at 124 minutes and 44 seconds - from the spot.

Heartbreak at the death has been the story for the African teams bar Morocco at this phase so far.

South Africa 92mins, Côte d’Ivoire 86, DR Congo 86. Belgium’s comeback against Senegal also started with 86 played 🙃

Different stories but similar pain. South Africa did not impose themselves offensively, Côte d’Ivoire didn’t translate their possession into enough chances and even though they created more than Norway, they don’t possess a finishing machine like Haaland. DR Congo led, hit the post but were met with the menacing brilliance of Kane. Senegal should not have thrown away a game they bossed.

HMRC moved to offices owned by a Tory Donor, registered in a Tax Haven.

So HMRC is paying rent money to a Tax Avoider.

HMRC enables tax evasion for the rich.
