Sometimes I wonder how you people think.

So they don't have lives outside of football? They shouldn't spend time with family?

A season takes 9 months, then back to another one month of international competition, then another 1+ month for pre season but that's not enough for you

[Lionel Lingard 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @Lionel_Lingard]

Senne Lammens is back

Youri Tielemans is back

Bruno Fernandes is back

Diogo Dalot is back

Mazraoui is back

Matheus Cunha is back

Almost all the senior team players who went to the World Cup are back.

These players played a lot of minutes at the World Cup too.

Guess who is missing? Yeah, Kobbie Mainoo and Marcus Rashford.

2 players who played 0 minutes and scrappy minutes respectively at the World Cup.

To think both of them are based in Manchester, and with just an £18 cab fare, both of them can get to Carrington today, but they still chose to stay at home because they think their positions are secured.

Makes you wonder if they truly care about the club.

Dead on arrival.

Now Infantino has to leave

[FIFA Media @fifamedia]

Statement attributable to the FIFA President

The FIFA Forward Enterprise project was intended to provide a basis for further strengthening our FIFA Member Associations and our sport worldwide, especially in those countries where support is most needed. And more so, as we said from the outset, to do this only if a majority of the FIFA Member Associations were in support and always subject to a consultation process with them, the FIFA Council, the Confederations and wider stakeholders.

Having listened carefully to all the views, it has become clear that the project has created divisions of a nature that, regardless of the level of support, are no longer in the interest of the objective set out in the first place.

Our purpose has always been - and will always be - to unite and improve.

As a result, this proposal will not proceed.

Moving forward, my intent is to bring all interested parties back together in the coming days and weeks in the spirit of shared interest in our game, and with the objective to continue growing football everywhere, particularly in those countries that mostly need our support.

UEFA, CONCACAF, and AFC are fighting against this corruption, but you have CAF, the headquarters of corruption, taking sides with Infantino.

[Ben Jacobs @JacobsBen]

🚨 The AFC say they "stand in solidarity with UEFA and CONCACAF" adding FIFA must undertake "an urgent review of its governance". Damning statement that adds even more pressure on Gianni Infantino.

"The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has observed with deep concern the developments of recent days relating to the proposed establishment of FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) and the uncertainty that has emerged across the global football community.

"The AFC stands in solidarity with UEFA and CONCACAF in expressing serious concerns over FIFA’s proposal to introduce private investment into FIFA's flagship competitions and the decision-making process around FFE.

"The fact that the situation has reached the point where the real possibility of a FIFA World Cup boycott has entered public discourse should concern everyone who cares about the future of our game. Football should never have been placed in such a position.

"Against this backdrop, and in light of the clear positions expressed by UEFA and CONCACAF, as well as the unprecedented divisions that have emerged across the football world, the AFC believes that the proposed FFE cannot realistically achieve the necessary broad consensus and unity required to move forward.

"The FIFA World Cup is the pinnacle of global football and derives its strength from the participation of all Confederations and the world’s leading football nations. Any proposal that risks undermining the unity and universal character of the competition must be reconsidered.

"While the immediate debate centres on FFE, the AFC considers this issue extends far beyond a single proposal. Rather, it has exposed fundamental weaknesses in FIFA’s consultation and decision-making processes that must now be addressed. While the AFC notes FIFA’s latest clarification on the proposal, the central concerns surrounding governance, institutional process and meaningful consultation remain unanswered.

"A proposal of such significance, with the potential to affect the commercial, sporting and strategic future of world football, must not emerge through processes that leave Confederations, Member Associations (MAs) and even FIFA’s own governing bodies, including the FIFA Council, feeling sidelined. The primary objective for world football must be to ensure that decisions of such magnitude are being developed through processes that are anchored on transparency and command the confidence of the football community.

"This is not the first occasion where major stakeholders have been confronted with significant initiatives after the direction of travel appears to have already been determined. Such an approach undermines confidence in FIFA’s governance framework and diminishes the authority of its statutory bodies. No subsequent consultation process, however well intentioned, can replace early engagement with the appropriate FIFA bodies and the football family.

"The AFC believes this moment must become a catalyst for strengthening institutional reform. While every FIFA MA must have the opportunity to consider and determine proposals affecting the future of world football, meaningful democracy is not measured solely by the opportunity to vote. It begins with transparent governance, timely consultation, informed deliberation and genuine participation throughout the decision-making process.

"Accordingly, the AFC calls upon FIFA to undertake an urgent review of its governance and decision-making framework to ensure that proposals of global significance are developed through proper consultation, meaningful engagement and appropriate oversight by FIFA’s statutory bodies.

"The FIFA World Cup, and the game itself, belong to the entire global football family. Their future must always be shaped collectively, through institutions that reflect the voices of all Confederations and MAs."

FIFA cannot exist without UEFA.

No serious private investor will commit significant capital to the World Cup if UEFA decides to boycott the tournament.

@Omojuwa Has CAF said anything about this?

Are they for or against?

Only time will tell.

We are all watching

Dear South Africans. It doesn't work like that. Jobs do not fall from the sky. You need to qualify. Unlike social grants jobs don't just come through protest

[Chidi Nkwocha @itsmechidi]

@AbuAzeezAbolaji I am not sure a midfield trio of Rodri - Valverde - Bellingham has that balance as much as we think. Bernardo replacing Valverde gives it more balance... but can the captain be benched?

[Chidi Nkwocha @itsmechidi]

@footbolmatter10 You no know Papa Perez. If Man City see anything more than £50M... Rodri with 1yr left on his contract and possibly out for most of the first part of next season.

If City are not careful they will not get £1 and he will leave next summer

[Chidi Nkwocha @itsmechidi]

We have been in this game so long to know that @FabrizioRomano always wins the battle against everyone.

Fabrizio says Tchouameni has already signed his contract extension.

🥇 2015 - De La Fuente wins u19 European Championship with Spain

This is incredible. Since becoming the manager of Spain in 2022, De La Fuente has only lost two matches. 🤯👏

[Chidi Nkwocha @itsmechidi]

@Ellis_ Fans truly do not care about how much money the club makes... its all about quality and success on the pitch.

Board is happy, fans are sad.

[Chidi Nkwocha @itsmechidi]

Omo!

Sold him for £8M in 2024, receive extra £15M in 2026.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨💸 Middlesbrough are set to receive £15m from Aston Villa as consequence of Morgan Rogers’ transfer to Chelsea.

A sell-on clause was negotiated as part of the deal, as @TeleFootball reports.

Argentina just beat Spain at the 2026 World Cup final, 3-2.

Thomas Tuchel!

You are better than this. I'm so disappointed man.

6 defenders on the pitch doing what?

[Chidi Nkwocha @itsmechidi]

I think the Tielemans signing opens the way for Baleba.

Now, it will make sense to add Baleba to the mix because it makes it balanced with options.

[Chidi Nkwocha @itsmechidi]

Oh man!

This deal gives me joy. What a player.

The only concern is his injury record.

[Florian Plettenberg @Plettigoal]

🚨⏳ Youri Tielemans and Manchester United have reached a verbal agreement over a long-term contract.

Ah!

Amorim wants to change his system?

100% sure a 40yrs old Modric will not work in the two-man central midfield.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🔴⚫️ Luka Modrić and AC Milan can continue together next season, confirmed as reported.

“I want Modrić to stay, I spoke to Luka and if needed… I will go get him in person! I want Modrić with us this season”, says Rúben Amorim. 💥🇭🇷
