📺 TV en DIRECTO | Sánchez, sobre la crisis entre EE UU e Italia al decir Trump que se hizo una foto con Meloni en el G-7 “por pena”: "Toda mi solidaridad a Meloni ante este ataque que no es ni político ni personal" https://t.co/wuTAbdJQiv
🚨🗣️New: Thierry Henry reacts to the Brazil, Morocco, and Netherlands press conferences, where questions in Spanish were reportedly not permitted for Hakimi, Vinícius Jr., and Frenkie de Jong:
“I have covered World Cups for years, and this situation makes absolutely no sense to me. You’re telling me a World Cup co-hosted by Mexico can stop journalists from asking questions in Spanish? That’s like hosting a Formula 1 race and banning cars from using their engines.
We saw it with Hakimi. We saw it with Vinícius. Now we’re hearing similar stories involving Frenkie de Jong. The players understood the questions. The journalists spoke one of the most widely spoken languages on the planet. Yet somehow the language became the problem.
Gianni Infantino talks about inclusion, diversity, and bringing football to everyone. Fine. Then explain this contradiction. How can FIFA celebrate diversity in every promotional video and then create headlines because Spanish journalists are being told to switch languages at a tournament hosted by Mexico?
Spanish isn’t some obscure dialect spoken by a handful of people. It’s the language of hundreds of millions across the Americas and beyond. If a journalist from Mexico, Spain, Argentina, Colombia, or anywhere else asks a question in Spanish and the player understands it, why is football creating barriers where none existed?
The irony is unbelievable. FIFA keeps telling us football belongs to everyone, but this controversy has many fans asking whether some voices are more welcome than others.
Maybe there’s a logistical explanation. Maybe it’s a translation issue. But perception matters. And right now the perception is terrible.
Because what fans are seeing is simple: a World Cup hosted partly by a Spanish-speaking nation, players who understand Spanish, journalists who speak Spanish, and officials telling them not to use Spanish.
If that’s progress, somebody needs to explain it better. Because from the outside, it looks like football’s governing body is tripping over its own message.”
“FIFA wanted a celebration of diversity. Instead, they’ve handed the internet a controversy that won’t stop being discussed.”

La FIFA prohíbe a los periodistas preguntar en español a los jugadores de Brasil y Marruecos a pesar de ser la segunda lengua materna más hablada del mundo por encima del inglés.
La FIFA autorizó a preguntar en francés, árabe, portugués e inglés, algo que supuso un problema tanto para los periodistas hispanohablantes como para Vinicius Junior, que habla español pero no inglés.
El capitán marroquí, formado en España, también se mostró sorprendido por esta inexplicable restricción.
La FIFA se ha excusado argumentando que el idioma «puente» escogido era el inglés, pero esto no tiene sentido teniendo en cuenta que tanto los jugadores brasileños, como los marroquíes, tienen mayor facilidad para hablar en español que en inglés.
Algunos críticos con la medida alegaban además que el primer idioma del mundo del fútbol es sin lugar a dudas el español y que por tanto este debería ser el idioma puente escogido para la gran mayoría de encuentros.
Il cancelliere tedesco Merz: «L'Ucraina sta difendendo la sua libertà da più di quattro anni». I parlamentari di Alternative für Deutschland ridono. «È un segnale eloquente, ridono del destino di milioni di persone in Ucraina e vanno a Mosca per i loro ricevimenti con champagne».
A prescindere dalla battuta dell'Italia che ha boicottato per tempo questi mondiali, penso che non ci sia molto altro da fare che boicottare questa @FIFAWorldCup. e il silenzio di @FIFAcom su quanto sta succedendo significa che c'è complicità
🚨BREAKING: Didier Drogba says if the USA didn't want other Countries citizens in the US they shouldn't have bid for the Fifa world cup 2026 and says denial of Iran supporters and Somali referee Omar Artan is totally unacceptable, Football should be separated from politics
"When a country bids to host the biggest football tournament on the planet, it knows exactly what comes with it. Players, referees, officials and supporters from every corner of the world are part of the package."
"I look at the situation involving Somali referee Omar Artan and I feel disappointed for him. FIFA selected him because he earned that opportunity on merit, yet he was unable to participate after being denied entry."
"Then you hear about Iran's football federation claiming that its supporter ticket allocation was withdrawn just days before the tournament. If true, that leaves ordinary fans paying the price for issues that have nothing to do with football."
"The people suffering are not politicians. They're supporters who save money for years hoping to follow their national team at a World Cup."
"Football has always been one of the few things capable of bringing different cultures together. The moment politics starts deciding who gets to be part of that experience, everyone loses."
"I played in World Cups and international tournaments. The beauty of those events is seeing supporters from dozens of countries sharing the same streets, the same stadiums and the same passion."
"No fan should be judged because of their nationality, and no referee should miss the biggest moment of his career because of political circumstances beyond his control."
"FIFA, governments and football authorities need to find solutions because the headlines right now are about visas, travel restrictions and disputes instead of the football itself."
"The World Cup should belong to the world. That's what makes it special. The game must always come first, and politics should never be allowed to overshadow football's greatest celebration."
Omar Artan didn’t just make the #FIFAWorldCup, he made history as the first Somali referee to get there, and as #Africa’s best. That milestone stands no matter what. So sorry to see this, Omar. You reached the summit of your profession and inspired a generation back home just by getting there, and being kept off the pitch you earned doesn’t change that. This won’t be the end of your story on the world stage. The world stands with you as one family, wishing you resilience now and many more major finals to come. Solidarity. #Somalia
Just one day after ending "The Late Show" on CBS, Stephen Colbert returned to TV — to host a public access show with rocker Jack White in Monroe, Michigan.

Nelle ore in cui le forze armate russe lanciavano centinaia di droni e missili contro Kyiv, l’ex campione del mondo Andrea Pirlo era a Mosca per la finale della coppa di Russia.
Quanto emerge dal video del Ministro Ben Gvir è assolutamente inaccettabile e contro ogni elementare tutela della dignità umana.
D’intesa con il Presidente del Consiglio ho fatto convocare immediatamente alla Farnesina l’Ambasciatore d’Israele in Italia.
Le immagini del ministro israeliano Ben Gvir sono inaccettabili. È inammissibile che questi manifestanti, fra cui molti cittadini italiani, vengano sottoposti a questo trattamento lesivo della dignità della persona.
Il Governo italiano sta immediatamente compiendo, ai più alti livelli istituzionali, tutti i passi necessari per ottenere la liberazione immediata dei cittadini italiani coinvolti.
L’Italia pretende inoltre le scuse per il trattamento riservato a questi manifestanti e per il totale disprezzo dimostrato nei confronti delle esplicite richieste del Governo italiano.
Per questi motivi, il Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale convocherà immediatamente l’ambasciatore israeliano per chiedere chiarimenti formali su quanto accaduto.
