A man married to a current MP and former conservative Home Secretary and Attorney General whose wedding happened at THE HOUSE OF COMMONS is referring to a man with a bin for a face as 'an establishment tool.' We are truly on the stupidest timeline.
England is the only country to ever win the men's World Cup that doesn't share a land border with another country that has won a men's World Cup. Norway and Morocco are the only teams left which could join that list this year.
Fifa bans England's Jarell Quansah for two games, meaning he misses Norway and a potential semi-final.
Quansah was sent off for serious foul play.
US striker Folarin Balogun, who was sent off for serious foul play, got one game which was suspended for 12 months...
Any outcome that doesn't result in Infantino resigning in disgrace very dangerous for football. Lamentably, corruption is accepted in daily life under the pretense that we can't properly see it. Much the same reason we keep buying brands use nefarious manufacturing practices.
This bloke has zero understanding of the the gravitas of what he’s just said. By the letter of the law according to FIFA, the USMNT should be removed from the WC and Infantino should be removed from position as president.
He’s actually stitched them all up.
Jürgen Klopp led a furious backlash against Fifa president Gianni Infantino, who now faces calls to resign after overturning Folarin Balogun’s World Cup suspension.
“This is our sport, not theirs. If Donald Trump and Gianni Infantino really sorted this out between themselves, it is madness; it calls everything into question.”

The appeals just keep coming:
France have appealed to FIFA to request Michael Olise’s yellow card against Paraguay is rescinded.
Increasingly feels like FIFA have lost control of their World Cup here.

I understand all the predictable, lamentable reasons it won’t happen, but this is a very big scandal and Infantino’s position should be immediately untenable.
Just staggering to listen to.
He even calls into question the integrity of a FIFA referee. Will Infantino say something? Of course not.
Urgh, just awful. What a shame.
When Sepp Blatter is taking to social media to call out corruption on your watch, it’s probably time to accept that the game’s up.
This is like Fred West critiquing your paving technique.
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
I'm starting to think that Arsenal winning in 2026 is more traumatic for those associated with Liverpool than Arsenal winning the league at Anfield in 1989 was!
