TRIGGER WARNING for USA Republicans cheering for Folarin Balogun:

Born in Brooklyn.
To Nigerian parents.
Grew up in England.
Plays for #USMNT.

That's a lot of diversity, and that's what makes America great. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[Stan Collymore @StanCollymore]

My England v Croatia ticket was £199, chatting to some American guys at the moment and they think I must have won the ticket on some sort of poverty raffle because they can't wrap their head around how "cheap" it is.

One guy paid $1500 for the very last row, top of the stadium for a college game.

Surely this isn't supply and demand, it's saying "I can, you can't"?

And of we're not careful, coming to a Premier League ground near you....

2010. South Africa. They said theft will be at an all-time high. Unsafe for world cup. Didn't happen.

2014. Brazil. Complained about some of the remote places the venues were. Unsafe for players. Didn't happen.

2018. Russia. "It's not a democracy". There would be marginalization. People would not even be free or allowed entry. Didn't happen.

2022. Qatar. " Slave built stadiums ". A morally bankrupt nation. " It cannot be fun". The tournament is horrible. No alcohols. Religious intolerance. Didn't happen.

2026. US. All the above happening.
We see.

🗣️ Ibrahimović: “You didn’t beat Thierry Henry in a race. Even I’m faster than you!”

🗣️ Speed: “WHAT?? I’m way faster than you. You’ve only got 80 pace on FIFA.”

🗣️ Ibrahimović: “You know what? Maybe you are faster than me, but I think much faster than you.”

🗣️ Speed: “That has nothing to do with speed.”

🗣️ Ibrahimović: “You can’t understand because you don’t understand the game. Titi, explain it to him... I don’t make fast runs, I make intelligent runs.”

Classic Ibra. 😂😂

🚨 FRAUD ALERT 🚨

FIFA: "Mandatory water breaks are strictly for player welfare."

TV Networks: Immediately sell the 3-minute pauses for $7M–$9M a slot.

The 2026 World Cup is a corporate heist disguised as athlete safety. Fox already botched the timing on the opening matches, cutting away to full-screen commercial blocks and returning after play had already resumed.

Meanwhile, Telemundo stayed on the pitch, proving you don't have to ruin the viewer's experience unless you're chasing greed.

Across 104 matches, this "welfare" rule creates 624 extra minutes of non-play time—over 10 hours of brand-new advertising inventory.

The "Four-Quarter" era of football is here, and it was bought and paid for.

This World Cup is already exposing the western hypocrisy.

First there were reports of shootings near the English camp and now their equipment has been stolen.

Yet the same people who made a big deal about Qatar not allowing alcohol in stadiums haven’t said a single word about any of this.

They want to fly halfway across the world and lecture other countries on how to run things, but stay silent when it’s a Western country dealing with serious safety concerns.

Funny how it works, right?

🚨 Hervé Penot de @lequipedusoir dénonce LE DEUX POIDS DEUX MESURES entre la Coupe du monde 2022 et la Coupe du monde 2026 ! 😤

« Quand on est arrivés au Qatar 🇶🇦, ils étaient tous là à pérorer... Vous les entendez là ?

Ils ne disent RIEN sur les États-Unis 🇺🇸, ILS ONT TOUS PEUR ! Alors que la situation est bien plus GRAVE, il n'y a même pas de comparaison.

Le Qatar bashing c'était facile. T'entends quelque chose aujourd'hui ? Les politiques qu'on entendait il y a quatre ans S'ÉCRASENT.

Tout le monde a peur. C'EST LE ROYAUME DE LA TERREUR. » 😶
