@HLTCO We have to call it for what it actually is. Commercial breaks.

[Leyla Hamed @leylahamed]

Iranian forward Mehdi Taremi pushed back at a U.S. journalist who asked about safety concerns around the squad:

“How sure are you that the U.S. is a safe country for us?”

“How do you see us, as politicians or as sportsmen? We are sportsmen. Trump has to see it the same way.”

What a wanker! He made a white supremacist symbol. @FIFAWorldCup get him gone!

[TB 🇧🇷 @TottenhamBrasil]

O cidadão no VAR de Alemanha e Curaçao fez um gesto com as mãos que é associado a um símbolo de supremacia branca.

Que bizarrice.

🚨 Joint-statement from Cape Verde, Curaçao, Uzbekistan, Congo, Haiti, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt, Ghana, Senegal, South Africa and Côte d’Ivoire expressing their “profound disappointment” following the recent comments made by UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin arguing the expanded World Cup will create “uninteresting” games.

“We respectfully but firmly reject these comments.

“For our countries, there is no such thing as an unimportant World Cup match.

“For Cape Verde, Curaçao and Uzbekistan, qualification for the FIFA World Cup represents a historic achievement and the realization of a dream shared by generations.

“For nations such as Congo and Haiti, returning to football’s biggest stage after a long absence carries a special meaning for millions of supporters who have waited years, and in some cases decades, for this moment.

“To suggest that these matches are somehow less important is deeply disappointing and fails to recognize the efforts, sacrifices and aspirations of players, coaches, clubs, football leaders and supporters across the world.

“Behind every qualification stand years of work and investment. Behind every national team stand entire communities and millions of people who see football as a source of pride, hope and unity.

“Football does not belong to a select group of nations. Its strength comes from its universality. The FIFA World Cup is the world’s greatest football competition precisely because it brings together different cultures, different histories and different football journeys.

“For many countries, participation in the FIFA World Cup is not only a sporting achievement. It is a moment that inspires a generation, accelerates football development and creates memories that last a lifetime.

“We believe that every nation that qualifies deserves respect. Every team has earned its place on merit. Every supporter has the right to dream. Every match carries meaning for millions of people around the world.

“We therefore reject the UEFA President’s comments and reaffirm our belief that the growth of football must continue to create opportunities, inspire new generations and strengthen the truly global nature of our game.

“Every team qualified on merit.

“Every match matters.”

@BarstoolReags I would also say Morocco looked good as well and they were playing Brazil!

[Mesmail17 💙 @mesmail17]

[Mesmail17 💙 @mesmail17]

@ManagerTactical @FatherNamedBert Qatar have their keeper to thanks for that.

[Mesmail17 💙 @mesmail17]

@itvfootball Not even a question.

[Mesmail17 💙 @mesmail17]

@HLTCO Its funny how much they are brushing it aside.

[Mesmail17 💙 @mesmail17]

@itvfootball you can gaslight everyone with your explanation of how the technology is great but that was offside. Your 'expert' should have looked at the image and said for herself if it was offside rather than back the technology. Very fishy indeed.

[Mesmail17 💙 @mesmail17]

@abertini1 Good. It will stop players simulating.

[Mesmail17 💙 @mesmail17]

@usmntonly They just had a bad day.

[Mesmail17 💙 @mesmail17]

@Nigel_Farage I think we will all be much safer if only you keep your mouth shut and not stoke up tensions which leads to these riots.

[Mesmail17 💙 @mesmail17]

@NikkiHaley They struck over 2000 times because they are on Lebanese land. That's how it works right? Someone invades and you take care of the problem.

[Mesmail17 💙 @mesmail17]

BLOODY HELL!

@Tayykg1 @MilanZak6 No worries. Quitting nicotine is no joke. Hope you can stay off it for as long as you can!

[Mesmail17 💙 @mesmail17]

@Tayykg1 @MilanZak6 Well that's a different argument entirely.

Not all football fans are hooligans by the way.

[Mesmail17 💙 @mesmail17]

@Tayykg1 @MilanZak6 If he were allowed in, he'd be officiating World Cup matches there, not living there. He's regarded as one of FIFA's top referees, so your point is completely null and void. Just relax and enjoy the World Cup.
