Underrated life advice: Become generous with your assumptions. Assume they were tired, not rude. Overwhelmed, not careless. Preoccupied, not distant. This doesn’t mean tolerate disrespect. It means stop turning every small moment into a personal attack. Grace makes life lighter.

Incredible coincidence that @nigel_Farage watched the England game in the same spot in the same pub, with the same flags up, wearing the same top and standing next to someone wearing an identical top as he did during the Euros in 2024.

Dear Entire England Squad

None of you EVER do that stupid stutter nonsense from a pen again.

Thanks.
The entire nation 👍

"It ruined, a little bit, my experience today"

Thomas Tuchel has asked Fifa to move the photographer position during the national anthem.

[Stewart Bint @AuthorSJB]

As the BBC is having to axe programmes, could Mrs Brown’s Boys be one of them, please?

Kinda crazy that I left uni with £35,000 of debt and I’ve just checked it today and it’s £51,000 even though I’ve been paying it back ever since leaving uni.

The system is fundamentally broken.

🚨 VINI JR JUST TOLD FIFA: “WE’LL PAY THE FINE — BUT NOBODY FROM US IS DOING HALF-TIME INTERVIEWS.”

During Brazil’s World Cup match, Vinícius refused the mandatory tunnel interview.

Reporter: “You’ll get a huge fine for this.”

Vini: “We’ll pay. But nobody is coming to the mic.”

This isn’t arrogance. It’s players finally saying enough to FIFA’s corporate circus.

Half-time should be for tactics, water, recovery — not feeding the broadcast machine while the game gets sliced up for ads (sound familiar with those forced “welfare” breaks?).

FIFA under Infantino has turned football into a product. Mandatory everything. Player focus as an afterthought. Suits in Zurich cashing in.

Brazil and Vini just pushed back. Raw. Direct. No bowing to the machine.

The beautiful game belongs to the players on the pitch — not boardrooms selling every second.

Who else is done with this?

[Richard Medhurst @richimedhurst]

I still remember how Sepp Blatter was considered the most corrupt football official in history lol.

Infantino makes him look like an alter boy.

هاکنی تا ۸۸ سالگی عمر کرد و تا آخرین لحظه با دست‌های لرزون و لاغر از نقاشی کشیدن دست نکشید. حالا به جای اینکه از رفتنش غوصه بخوریم، تا هنوز بهاره به شکوفه‌ها و درخت‌ها و سبزی‌ها نگاه کنی�� شاید دنیا رو به رنگ اون دیدیم.

[Joseph S Blatter @SeppBlatter]

A FIFA World Cup host country must guarantee two fundamental principles: the safety of the country — and the unrestricted entry of all qualified teams, officials and referees. The case of referee Omar Artan from Somalia is against one of these obligations. FIFA must never compromise the universality of football. #Fifa #Somalia #GianniInfantino #CAF #OmarAtan #DonaldTrump

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Soccer has always been defined by free-flowing, unbroken action. But for the World Cup in America, FIFA is using “hydration breaks” to shoehorn in commercials. https://t.co/y1BqbB62YC

[Paddy Power @paddypower]

FIFA really being bailed out by all these empty seats being the same colour as the home shirts of the teams playing

[Jake. @YedIin]

Hydration break when your team has momentum is a new level of headloss i’ve never experienced before

[Football Tweet ⚽ @Footballtweet]

🚨 Jürgen Klopp has launched a scathing attack on the cooling breaks being used during this World Cup. 👊

"Football is being held hostage by executives sitting in air-conditioned offices.

These breaks are being presented as a shield for player welfare, a noble weapon against the heat. In reality, they are nothing more than a golden cage built for sponsors.

When I saw players standing around during cooling breaks while television timeouts dictated the rhythm of the match, I couldn't help but ask myself: who is the World Cup really serving?

The supporters? The players? Or the advertisers?

A World Cup match should flow like a river. Instead, we are building dams in the middle of it so commercials can be shown.

It's dangerous for the spirit of the game. Football used to be the main event, but it now risks becoming background music for an advertising show."

He didn't hold back. 👏👏

[AB⚕ @AbsoluteBruno]

No World Cup games during the daytime on a weekend is actually madness

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Here’s the thing about GB News.

Before it launched, anyone who said it’d be like this was accused of scaremongering.

“Our broadcasting rules won’t allow a Fox News in this country!”

Yet it’s become an open sewer of conspiratorial bile
