🚨 Exclusive: The White House made a direct call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun’s red card.

FIFA approached for comment and referred to the findings of its independent committee.

FIFA sources insist White House influence could not affect the decision due to the powers contained in Article 27 and the independent nature of the disciplinary panel.

Pour moi cette défaite des Spurs en Finales NBA est très simple.

C'est pas une question de tactique ou de coaching, faut arrêter de tout vouloir compliquer avec de la branlette intellectuelle sur des schémas de jeu ou couverture défensive.

C'est tout simplement : leur manque d'expérience.

Ils sont jeunes ils connaissaient pas le chemin, ils ont jamais vécu ce truc là. C'est parce qu'ils manquaient d'expérience qu'ils ont loupé le money time. Ce n'est que du mental et de l'inexpérience.

Ces même jeunes Spurs qui ont battu OKC en double overtime puis aussi le money time incroyable du Game 7 là bas à OKC également. Mais bon, enfin, non mais, bref, enfin. Nan mais ça compte pas ça, arrêtez hein.

Non non c'est vraiment une question d'expérience juste, c'est IN-DE-NIA-BLE la preuve et démonstration factuelle une fois qu'on enlève les money time contre OKC parce que ça nous arrange pas dans le raisonnement.

D'ailleurs on a bien vu : le champion c'est une équipe des Knicks avec que des Knicks qui "connaissaient le chemin" vers le titre : Brunson, OG, Mikal, Hart, encore plus KAT. Même le head coach, il a tellement de bagues en tant que head coach en +20 ans de carrière, il sait les gagner les Finales, surtout contre les Spurs.

Vouloir toujours compliquer les débat en parlant de ce qui se passe concrètement sur le terrain, c'est fatiguant.

✍️JALEN BRUNSON A CHANGÉ LES PLAYOFFS DES KNICKS, MAIS PAS COMME VOUS LE PENSEZ !

On part direction le MSG pour une grosse analyse de la mutation en attaque léthale des Knicks. Quel est le secret derrière le renouveau des hommes de Mike Brown ? 🤔

[The New York Times @nytimes]

From @TheAthletic: How does a 6-foot-2 guard with a common man’s body and an old man’s game become an NBA superstar?

It’s going to be very difficult for the Knicks to win it all for the first time since '73. But Jalen Brunson will be the one to lead them. https://t.co/DsAzZSrmZa

COMMENT L'UTILISATION DE KAT A RELANCÉ LES KNICKS ?🧠

Et j'ai plusieurs fois failli arrêter de lire, accablée, et j'ai aussi pensé ce qu'il avait du coûter à @soren_seelow de recueillir cette parole et de la poser à l'écrit, avec la distance et la rigueur indispensables, pudeur et dignité. A lire absolument.https://t.co/gKJl8TCBI2

I'm at the press briefing where New Jersey authorities and World Cup organizers confirmed match day transit costs.

The NJ Transit train will cost $150 each for 40,000 fans per match. The host committee's shuttle bus will cost $80 each for 10,000 fans.

Full story to follow.

Hello @MichalLACOMBE2 . Est-ce qu'on peut échanger en MP ?

“A few months after I moved to Paris, two of my friends from Diadema came to spend some time with me there. They had broken up with their wife and girlfriend and were sad, so I invited them, hoping the visit would help clear their minds. Great.

“They soon met other Brazilians, who played for a team like the seventh-division amateur league in the suburbs of Paris — all immigrants without proper papers.

“Every night, my two friends came home angry, complaining that they were constantly beaten up. So, I said: “I’ll go over there tomorrow to watch you play.” And I did.

“I arrived wearing a ninja hat, half disguised, and watched. The opponents were all dressed up, with their uniforms, equipment, water bottles, and a coach. And my friends’ team was wearing nothing: one in white shorts, another in purple, a third in yellow. The guys were hanging from the goalposts to warm up…. It was a mess.
At the end of the match, which they lost, I asked:

“Do you want me to train the team?”
I’ll never forget the guys’ smiles. They were so genuinely happy and excited, something I had only seen when I was a kid, when we would fly kites in Diadema.
I started training the guys every Monday, from 10 to midnight. Sometimes I would train them on Monday and play a Champions League match on Tuesday. I even remember scoring a goal against Barcelona on one of those days. I started loving Mondays. I couldn’t wait to be with those guys. We talked, I listened a lot, and I got to know each one’s stories and struggles.

“Some made money playing capoeira, others delivering items on motorbikes or washing dishes. All of them had a hard life, afraid because of their illegal status, with little hope that things would improve, but football brightened up and took the weight off their days.
On my first holidays, I went back to Brazil and went to talk to the ultimate crazy woman, my mother:
“Mum, can you make stuff for the boys there?”

“Say no more! She made travel polo shirts, tracksuits, match uniforms, training uniforms, everything in sizes S, M, L, XL….
I went back to Paris with 21 suitcases. The guys’ dedication grew along with their joy. We started training twice a week, then three times. We got promoted, and at the end of the season, I had a crazy idea. Another one. “I’m going to throw a gala for the team, just like PSG does for us every year.” I rented a castle-like nightclub where Matuidi had thrown his birthday party and started producing ours.

“I had already hired a guy who used to film for PSG to film our guys’ matches, too. I asked him to bring all the videos to my house so we could watch them and choose the best goals of the year, the top scorer, the goalkeeper’s best saves. Let’s show them on the big screen! Then I ordered trophies for the winners of each category. Hey, but what about the others? Plaques! We’re going to make little wooden-and-acrylic plaques with each one’s name on them. Everything was perfect. The day before, I called the guys together:

“Do you have a white button-up shirt and a basic black coat for tomorrow’s party?”
Nobody had one. OK, I will buy you some.
I went to the store myself and got some. Then I thought about their girlfriends and wives. I called the group again and gave each one some pocket money so that their SOs could buy a dress if they wanted.
The party night arrived.

And if I told you it was incredible, one of the most extraordinary emotional moments of my life, as cool as winning the Champions League, would you believe me?”

Victor Wembanyama’s full comments today on the shooting of another civilian by federal agents in Minneapolis:

“PR has tried, but I'm not going to sit here and give some politcally correct [answer]. Every day I see the news and I'm horrified. I think it's crazy that some people might make it seem like or make it sound like it's acceptable, like the murder of civilians is acceptable. I read the news and sometimes I'm asking very deep questions about my own life. I'm concious also saying everything that's on my mind will have a cost that's too great for me right now, so I'd rather not get into too many details. It's terrible. I know I'm a foreigner, but I live in this counrtry and I am concerned.”
