🚨🗣️New: Thierry Henry reacts to the USA vs Paraguay stoppage for TV commercials:

“I’ve spent my entire life in this beautiful game — as a player at the highest level, as a fan, and now as someone who analyses it every week — and what unfolded during that USA versus Paraguay match left me deeply frustrated. The fourth official standing there on the touchline, arm raised high, instructing the referee to hold the restart… not for any injury, not for tactical reasons, and not even primarily for player hydration in that scorching heat. No. It was because the broadcast team hadn’t finished airing all their commercials. That’s not football. That’s a television show pretending to be a World Cup match.

The beautiful game is being strangled by greed. Players are out there in the heat, ready to restart, momentum building like a storm about to break — and we pause everything so the sponsors can cash in. It’s like stopping a symphony mid-crescendo because the advertisers want their jingle heard. Football didn’t conquer the world by turning into American sports with endless timeouts and ad breaks. We had rhythm, flow, emotion that flowed like a river. Now? It’s dammed up for dollars.

This isn’t about hydration or player welfare anymore — it’s a slippery slope where the soul of the game is sold piece by piece. Fans deserve better. Players deserve better. The referee on that pitch looked like a puppet on strings controlled from some broadcast truck. Enough is enough. We need to protect what made this sport the greatest on Earth before it disappears completely.”

The World Cup should be football’s cathedral. Instead, we’re turning it into a shopping mall with a pitch in the middle.

And here’s the question nobody wants to answer: if the fourth official is waiting for commercials, then who is really running the game? FIFA? The referee? Or the broadcasters?

Because the moment football starts asking advertisers for permission before asking the players, you’ve crossed a line.

The World Cup is supposed to be the showcase of football. Not the showcase of who paid the most for airtime.”

[Boring Milner @BoringMilner]

FIFA just quietly changed football from two 45minute halves to four 22.5minute quarters and we’re only just realising.

I love it because it sucks the life out of games but are we sure we want this?

Points on the board, we are now up and running. 2-2 draw after being 0-2 down shows this HX team are up for the fight against old foes Beacon Hill. Goals from Wilson and Panzu was a delight for the faithful. @AthonaCareers @HornchurchFC

@oldchelmfordians are the hosts for the Urchins today. Full squad present so a lot of decisions for the Gaffer. 3 points needed today but with the host 2 wins from 2 ain’t going to be easy. @AthonaCareers @HornchurchFC 🟠⚫️⚫️

A good illustration of modern Britain. Masked man removes artistic dissent against a Tyrannical State, under the guard of Foreign State Security.

Huge Fan of Ann’s and we certainly need more people like her in politics.

[Lee Harris @LeeHarris]

WTF have I just watched?!

Labour MP Bridget Phillipson is asked if she agrees with the Home Office that the rights of illegal migrants are more important than the rights of the people of Epping.

"Yes, of course we do"

They don't even bother to hide it.
Utterly vile.
