That is the maddest penalty shootout I’ve ever seen.

[Stan's Account @tristandross]

struggle to think of any previous host nation which has compromised the sporting integrity of the world cup to the extent the US has with the conditions they imposed upon the iranian side. should never be allowed to host again

This is the guy they want you to believe is a radicalized, Islamist, creeping-sharia secret terrorist.

The treatment of Iran has been and will be a real stain on this entire World Cup

Love that first line from Thierry Henry on Cape Verde making it to the knockout stages:

"If you don't watch African football, that's on you."

El capitán de la Selección de Irán, Mehdi Taremi, explotó contra la FIFA y la organización de Estados Unidos.

“Esta es una Copa del Mundo desastrosa. Como jugadores profesionales no podemos jugar una competición en estas condiciones, no está bien ni es justo. Si la FIFA piensa que esto es justo, tema de ellos, pero no lo es. ¿Quién debería solucionar este problema por nosotros? ¿La FIFA? ¿EE.UU.? ¡No sé! Díganme un nombre. El presidente de la FIFA, Gianni Infantino, vino a nuestro vestuario después del primer partido contra Nueva Zelanda y dijo que iba a resolver todos los problemas, pero en realidad, la FIFA no hizo nada. Respondiendo la pregunta de: "¿Sienten que los organizadores de la Copa del Mundo, incluidos la FIFA y los funcionarios estadounidenses, prefieren que Irán sea eliminado de la competencia?", digo: Tenemos que luchar contra absolutamente todo. No podemos quedarnos en el país, viajamos y nos sometemos a controles migratorios cada vez que queremos jugar, ahora no podemos quedarnos en Seattle y tenemos que volver a Tijuana. Han hecho todo lo posible para eliminarnos, entonces desde nuestra perspectiva, sí, creo que lo quieren así, nos quieren afuera”.

There are climate activists sitting in jail for warning about this.

Héctor Bellerín @HectorBellerin has once again used his voice for Palestine, reminding us football can be a powerful platform to send positive messages.

He also pointed to FIFA’s double standards. Football stood with Ukraine, but failed to do the same for Palestine.

[Tim Stillman ⭐️⭐️ @timstillman_]

I can think of one very striking, very pertinent example of a team that very seriously compromises the idea that 'all teams, in every match, are playing under the same conditions.' You don't get to suddenly pretend that is a priority for FIFA. Just resign.

So many incredible storylines at the World Cup but the stoicism and dignity of this man’s tribute to a national leader assassinated with the connivance of the CIA is maybe my favorite

[J o s h 🍉 @joshuartspace]

Interesting. Either way, it’s a shame they’re both simps for Trump.

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: According to a university study, people who prefer Lionel Messi are more likely to have LEFT-WING political views, while people who prefer Cristiano Ronaldo are more likely to have RIGHT-WING political views.

The study found that Messi fans are generally more progressive and analytical, while Ronaldo fans are generally more conservative and place a higher value on authority.

this is honestly an excellent celebratory and motivational speech from Mamdani at the Knicks parade. i'm ready to run through a wall, and i'm not even a Knicks fan

Jokes aside, there’s no reason a team should go into a World Cup as one of the favourites then build their team around a 41-year-old desperate for a heroic ending.

What we have watched, is definitive history. This is the beginning of the end of all debate. In this competition, by the end of it, nobody should ever question whether Lionel Messi is the greatest footballer of all time. It’s like watching the Magna Carta being signed.
