I think everyone is Team Mexico here.

Justice for the families of the people murdered by ICE.

🚨 Police showed up at her door with Flock camera “proof” she stole a package.

She had timestamped video from her truck + neighbor’s doorbell proving she wasn’t even there.

Cop refused to watch it: “That’s not my job.”

Charges dropped only after weeks of fighting.

This is the surveillance state. Guilty until you prove your own innocence. 😱

The fact that Mo Salah with the Egyptian coach and staff keeps urging the referee to review the VAR but they neglected and never did tells you everything you need to know.

In Germany, a talented 14-year-old earns his club money. In America, his parents pay the club $15,000 a year.

That single inversion explains why "we will not" is the most accurate line ever written about US soccer.

FIFA built a global system for this. Training compensation and solidarity payments send a cut of every transfer fee back to the clubs that developed the player, from age 12 onward. Develop one future pro and your academy gets paid for a decade. Barcelona's La Masia, Ajax, every Bundesliga academy runs on this logic. The kid is the asset.

US Soccer refuses to enforce those rules. When Seattle's Crossfire Premier claimed its $60,000 share of DeAndre Yedlin's transfer to Tottenham, it got nothing. Claims on the Dempsey and Bradley transfers died partly because the federation couldn't even produce the youth training records.

So American clubs earn zero dollars when a kid turns pro. They earn when a kid enrolls. Which makes the parent the customer, and the product is whatever keeps the parent writing checks: travel tournaments, hotel weekends, $500 showcase events, private training at $100 an hour. Elite pathways run $8,000 to $20,000 a year. A comparable academy spot in Italy costs about 120 euros.

Follow the incentive one level deeper and it gets darker. A club dependent on fees can't cut its weakest paying players, so rosters optimize for retention over development. The scouting pool shrinks to families who can afford the cliff, which appears around age 11, exactly when development matters most. The country runs a talent filter sorted by household income instead of ability.

Every four years someone proposes fixing this. The proposal always requires the people profiting from the $15,000 model to vote themselves out of business.

They will not.

"Yes, I regularly discuss matters related to the FIFA World Cup with the President of the United States" - And when you were asked to suspend the Genocidal Israeli Regime from football, you said we shouldn't mix football + politics. You Infantino are a corrupt Hypocrite...

[evan loves worf @esjesjesj]

He’s just fucking saying it

[NJB @nigel_b_golf]

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.

[Plus EV Analytics @PlusEVAnalytics]

FIFA: "no of course this was not political interference, we would never allow such a thing"
Trump: "it was all me. I interfered. Politically."

Spectacular.

Tienes al mejor delantero de México con 23 años en la banca y cuando necesitas un gol decides meter a un mediocre de 31 años

El Vasco Aguirre siempre la caga con los cambios , tenía que entrar la Hormiga no el Memote

[Rachel Kryshak @RachelKryshak]

To be clear: Whether it is or isn’t a red to Balogun is now irrelevant. Government interference is a violation of FIFA Article 2 & 15, and the punishment is disqualification and suspension. Nepal was suspended.

This is an admission of the violation.

[Alonso Gurmendi @Alonso_GD]

Under FIFA rules, the US should now be suspended from competition. Of course this wont happen

[Y Disassembler @loomdoop]

I was called to the jury pool for this, and had to excused the first day because they said it would be 2-3 months of unpaid full time labor, and I would end up homeless if I did that.

The only people who can serve on juries have non-essential corporate jobs or are retirees.
