The way the English media are going on about the altitude at the Azteca you’d think the game was being played on the fucking moon

People keep asking me why I don’t love Messi.

Egypt’s head coach Hossam Hassan dedicating their historic World Cup win to Palestine, its martyrs, and the people of Egypt.

Bigger than football.

Beckham has a commercial deal with Tudor watches.
Imagine having nearly a billion quid, and being prepared to sit like this for the cameras, just for a little bit more.
This awful man and his family epitomise what a complete absence of class looks like. Just so tacky.

Senegal are about to repeat the same mistake from AFCON: giving away a cheap penalty in the last minute.

Can already imagine the racist abuse those England players will receive 🤦🏽‍♂️

��🗣️New: Zlatan Ibrahimovic on Vinicius Junior refusing the mandatory halftime interview with FIFA at the World Cup:

“People are shocked that Vinícius walked away from a halftime interview. I am shocked that anyone thinks he should have stopped in the first place.

Halftime is not a television studio. Halftime is not a podcast. Halftime is not a red carpet. Halftime is the heartbeat of a football match.

For 45 minutes, players are warriors in a storm. They run, they fight, they suffer, they bleed. Then they get 15 precious minutes to recover, to breathe, to listen, to think. And FIFA wants to spend part of that time chasing soundbites? That is like pulling a Formula 1 driver out of his car during a pit stop and asking him how the race is going.

And FIFA’s idea is to shove a microphone in the player’s face and ask, ‘How do you feel?’

How do you think he feels? He’s exhausted.

This is modern football’s biggest disease. Everything is content. Everything is sponsorship. Everything is television. The match hasn’t even finished and they’re already trying to manufacture headlines.

They tell us they care about player welfare. Really? Then why are players playing more games than ever? Why are tournaments expanding? Why are injuries increasing? And now they want halftime interviews too? The hypocrisy is unbelievable.

Halftime is sacred. It belongs to the players and the coaches. That’s where games are won. That’s where tactics change. That’s where injuries get treated. That’s where leaders speak. It is not a media circus.

And don’t tell me this is for the fans. Fans want better football, not a tired player giving a robotic 20-second answer because somebody sold another broadcast package.

Vinícius understood that. He chose football over public relations.

The funniest part? They threaten him with a fine. A fine. As if that changes the principle. If I were there, I’d pay it too. Because some things are worth more than money.

If FIFA really had their way, they’d put microphones in the dressing room and call it innovation.

Football should come first. Not content. Not commercials. Not corporate greed.

For once, a player pushed back. And that’s exactly why so many people are angry.”

Irish born centre back Roberto 'Pico' Lopes has spent his entire career in Ireland, ignored a LinkedIn message from Cape Verde FA asking him to play for them because it was in Portuguese. A year later, they sent it in English. He accepted and today became the first League of Ireland player to feature in the World Cup, and he kept a clean sheet against the favourites...

A great world cup story 👏🏻

Ally McCoist has gone from a lot of people’s favourites to fuck me not this cunt again in a matter of months

Ally fucking McCoist on commentary again? That’s the whole thing ruined. We can’t escape this cunt

If you live in areas that have elected a Reform council, this is where you all come in. Report every pothole, broken pavement, keep them on their toes and make their lives intolerable.

This takes courage…

The Strokes closed their Coachella set flashing images of the governments the CIA has overthrown, the leaders the US has assassinated including MLK 👀, the war crimes the US is committing in Iran, and the genocide Israel is committing in occupied Palestine.
