@Cerebrone Wonder if Leao has an injury

[Madrid Xtra @MadridXtra]

🚨🗣️Wayne Rooney on Bruno Fernandes: “If you are playing Cristiano Ronaldo, you have to USE HIM.

The ball could have been put in the box here, from Bruno but he REFUSED to put it in.

If you play him, you have to USE HIM, on set pieces he is still a MASSIVE THREAT for Portugal.

Don't play him the ball 30 yards from the goal, that's not his strength anymore.

Get to him into the penalty area where he is still EFFECTIVE.”

🔴 Nouveau communiqué de la RBFA concernant l'affaire Balogun :

« Suite à sa précédente déclaration, la RBFA souhaite expliquer publiquement le déroulement des événements de ces dernières heures.

Après avoir appris par voie de presse la décision de la FIFA de lever la suspension automatique du joueur Balogun, la RBFA a adressé un courrier à la FIFA pour en demander une copie ainsi que des explications sur la procédure suivie, tout en exposant sa position au regard de la réglementation applicable.

En guise de seule réponse, la FIFA a informé la RBFA qu'elle considérait ce courrier comme un recours, qu'un juge avait été désigné et que la RBFA ne disposait que de quelques heures pour finaliser ce recours. Aucune information n'a été communiquée par la FIFA.

Pour qu'un recours soit recevable, le règlement de la FIFA stipule que la décision motivée doit préalablement avoir été notifiée au requérant. Alors que la RBFA sollicitait simplement des explications légitimes, la FIFA a elle-même qualifié la démarche de recours tout en veillant immédiatement à ce qu'elle soit déclarée irrecevable.

Tout cela s'est produit alors que, parallèlement, la FIFA refusait de répondre aux demandes légitimes de la RBFA.

Par ailleurs, lors de la réunion de coordination du match, la FIFA a délibérément retiré de sa présentation la section relative à la suspension automatique des joueurs. Ce point avait pourtant été abordé lors de toutes les réunions similaires précédant les quatre rencontres précédentes. La RBFA a interrogé la FIFA, tant oralement que par écrit, sur les raisons de ce changement, sans toutefois obtenir de réponse.

Il convient de préciser qu'à ce jour, la RBFA n'a toujours reçu aucune décision ni aucune explication de la part de la FIFA à ce sujet. Elle n'a donc d'autre choix que de contester l'éligibilité du joueur pour le match à venir.

Indépendamment de l'issue sportive de cette rencontre, la RBFA est vivement préoccupée par le déroulement des événements et continuera de se battre, dans les heures, jours et mois à venir, pour défendre les principes fondamentaux d'éthique et d'équité sportive, ainsi que les intérêts du football dans son ensemble. »

@Demigod419 @GingaBonitoHub They don't like a foreigner coaching their team

[Michael Adu @invictus_gh]

@GingaBonitoHub You simply don't have the players to do that. What were your midfield options aside the starters?

Gaslighting is the major way they get you to conform to how they want you to act.

You have to become impervious to female gaslighting.

And you do that by not holding yourself to a higher standard than she holds herself.

Mirror her selfishness back to her.

Sepp Blatter had a finesse with his own corruption. It never impeded with the love of the game. Infantino on the other hand is just a straight up jaguda.

FIFA won’t intervene when Iran is forced to relocate to Mexico and banned from training in the U.S., but they’ll break their own rules to reinstate a U.S. player.

Why is ‘patriotism’ in the US always displayed in the form of military hardware, death and destruction ?
Is there nothing else to be proud of?

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

They talk about corruption like it arrives from outside.

Like it floats in on a boat from somewhere "less civilized."

Like it is a pathogen that healthy Western institutions catch from contact with the developing world.

But follow the money.

The hedge fund manager who crashed the housing market in 2008 and received a bailout is not corrupt in the way a Nigerian customs official is corrupt.

He is too big to be corrupt.

His corruption has been institutionalized, legalized, given a office in lower Manhattan and a speaking fee and a podcast.

The revolving door between the Pentagon and defense contractors is not corruption.

It is a career path.

The pharmaceutical company that buys the patent for a drug it did not develop and raises the price four thousand percent is not corrupt.

It is "maximizing shareholder value."

The corruption of the periphery looks like a brown envelope passed under a table.

The corruption of the center looks like a lobbying budget, a regulatory capture strategy, and a former senator on the board.

One of these corruptions gets prosecuted.

One of these corruptions writes the laws that define what corruption is.

Spain holds the record for least scored by a winning team.

Spain scored just eight goals in seven games in South Africa, three fewer than the previous record low for a World Cup-winning team: 11 goals, shared by Italy in 1938 across four games, England in 1966 across six games, and Brazil in 1994 across seven games.

@yfwKinz Somebody quit the national team after skying a pk, came back and won stuff

Iran couldn’t get visas. They didn’t intervene.

A Somalian referee couldn’t get a visa. They didn’t intervene.

Fans of Muslim countries couldn’t get a visa. They didn’t intervene.

Ronaldo got a red card. Intervened.

USA player got a red card. Intervened.

F*** FIFA. Corrupt.

[Daniel Austin @_Dan_Austin]

Just to be clear, then. FIFA:

1) can't possibly intervene when Iran are forced to move, a referee is denied a visa, or fans are barred from the USA

2) can absolutely intervene when a decision goes against the USA that Donald Trump doesn't like

Smashing. All know where we stand

🚨⚠️ Belgium coach Rudi Garcia: “I didn’t know that at the World Cup as at FIFA the 5th of July is actually the first of April. It’s April Fools”.

“We’re not defending the national team or federation, we are defending football and integrity”.

[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.
