[Branko Milanovic @BrankoMilan]

Zlatan is 100% right. In fact, corruption under Infantino is much worse than under Blatter. Blatter's was the usual and naive corruption of envelops under the table. Infantino's is investment bank, JP Morgan, financial corruption at a totally different scale & the destruction of the game and of a 100-year-old completion which is now seen as an ordinary financial enterprise.
Football is not for investment bankers!

[Cantona Collars AKA Larry @Cantona_Collars]

Infantino has too many votes tied up from traditionally smaller footballing nations to ever be removed.

I never thought I'd say this, but maybe it's time for UEFA to break away from FIFA.

CONMEBOL would almost certainly follow. And if Europe and South America walked away, the other confederations would be under huge pressure to do the same.

Take UEFA and CONMEBOL out of FIFA and what's left isn't the World Cup people tune in to watch.

[Celia @CeliaBedelia]

Forcefully shoving another player who was checking on his teammate? Ridiculous.

[Carl Anka @Ankaman616]

Absolutely no outlet for England. These subs from Tuchel has ceded territory completely.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

King Charles needs to call Infantino.

[Joey Politano 🏳️‍🌈 @JosephPolitano]

American factory construction continued declining in official data released today as CHIPS Act projects finish, IRA projects get cancelled, and tariffs weigh on nearly all industries

Total US factory construction is down 30% from its 2024 highs and 20% over the last year alone

[James Ducker @TelegraphDucker]

So there is one rule for Messi and another for everyone else …

Good news for #USMNT is they’re through to the last 16. Bad news is they’ll be without their star striker Folarin Balogun for #Belgium

Similarities to Messi challenge on Algeria’s Mandi in terms of how Balogun’s
studs raked down right achilles of Muharemovic. But his eyes were fixed firmly on ball & that action was the unintended consequence of a collision between two bodies. Red card so harsh. Zero consistency of officiating/VAR application.

No recourse to appeal.

Also, I can’t understand the insistence on slowing down these challenges on review - you end up comparing two different incidents.

Elizabeth Warren used to be a Republican, Senator Bernie Sanders used to oppose the Brady Bill and voted to shield gun manufacturers from lawsuits (the law that obstructed the Sandy Hook families' suit), Ted Kennedy used to be pro-life but then became a 100%-NARAL-rated-standard-bearer of abortion rights, Jesse Jackson called abortion genocide then ran for president as a pro-choice Democrat.

People change their minds. Sometimes it's cynical, sometimes it's under pressure from activists, sometimes it's because they just heard some good arguments and sometimes it's because their team evolved.

A politics that pre-determines good guys and bad guys and decides that no one can change no matter what they do is a dead end. We live in a country where lots of people disagree with us -- the point of protest isn't to push people out of the body politic, it's to get them to come over to our side.

Cape Verde qualifying for the Round of 32

[Football Away Days @FBAwayDays]

Absolutely incredible place to watch football.

A bucket list stadium, for sure… �

[Centrism Fan Acct 🔹 @Wilson__Valdez]

It's really sad because if we had elected a normal president, the 250th anniversary of our country would have been a really cool celebration of everything that makes this country great.

Instead, we get one miserable, unpopular asshole inserting himself into every little thing and making it about himself.

And it was entirely predictable if you had a pulse the past 10 years. Oh well...

[Ken LaVicka @KLVsays]

ooooooooof

[Dale Johnson @DaleJohnsonBBC]

BBC Sport has a live World Cup knockout bracket updating after every match.

Some clever soul has made it so it automatically works out the 495 possible combinations of third-placed teams.

Right now?
Germany v Brazil
England v Portugal
Scotland v Japan

Just a little bar in Texas pre match #england

[Scott Patterson @R_o_M]

Which crazy club or country would start Gordon over Rashford?! Oh 😂

[Zak 🇪🇸 @ZG1999_]

Booing the hydration break, sinking 5,000 pints as a collective and getting kicked out of the bars, knocking over plant pots, offensive chants about other countries

Finally, a real country has arrived at the World Cup.

[Kendall Rowan @kendallrowanx]

Booing the hydration break, booing American celebs on screen, refusing Americans trying a Mexican wave, genuinely makes you proud to be English

[Statman Dave @StatmanDave]
