Bigger than football ❤️😞

Nathan Saliba makes it 4-0 Canada and immediately grabs Ismaël Koné's jersey during his celebration ❤️

@seanhhm No attempt to play the ball at all and then just a couple minutes later they had another dirty challenge

@ivandemigoal Don’t think there is or ever will be one. Longevity is so much harder in hockey due to the physicality. The closest comp would be Joe veleno

[Brandon Sirota @myinitialsarebs]

@JustinLever3 He has browns written all over him. Not like they care about players doing questionable stuff

Another stupid hydration break for a game that’s indoors where everything is completely controlled. Just so unnecessary all for the sake of corporations getting their ad breaks. Just such a moronic decision by fifa

🚨🗣️New: Thierry Henry reacts to the USA vs Paraguay stoppage for TV commercials:

“I’ve spent my entire life in this beautiful game — as a player at the highest level, as a fan, and now as someone who analyses it every week — and what unfolded during that USA versus Paraguay match left me deeply frustrated. The fourth official standing there on the touchline, arm raised high, instructing the referee to hold the restart… not for any injury, not for tactical reasons, and not even primarily for player hydration in that scorching heat. No. It was because the broadcast team hadn’t finished airing all their commercials. That’s not football. That’s a television show pretending to be a World Cup match.

The beautiful game is being strangled by greed. Players are out there in the heat, ready to restart, momentum building like a storm about to break — and we pause everything so the sponsors can cash in. It’s like stopping a symphony mid-crescendo because the advertisers want their jingle heard. Football didn’t conquer the world by turning into American sports with endless timeouts and ad breaks. We had rhythm, flow, emotion that flowed like a river. Now? It’s dammed up for dollars.

This isn’t about hydration or player welfare anymore — it’s a slippery slope where the soul of the game is sold piece by piece. Fans deserve better. Players deserve better. The referee on that pitch looked like a puppet on strings controlled from some broadcast truck. Enough is enough. We need to protect what made this sport the greatest on Earth before it disappears completely.”

The World Cup should be football’s cathedral. Instead, we’re turning it into a shopping mall with a pitch in the middle.

And here’s the question nobody wants to answer: if the fourth official is waiting for commercials, then who is really running the game? FIFA? The referee? Or the broadcasters?

Because the moment football starts asking advertisers for permission before asking the players, you’ve crossed a line.

The World Cup is supposed to be the showcase of football. Not the showcase of who paid the most for airtime.”

It’s currently 86° in Houston and they’re playing indoors in a climate-controlled stadium. Have some respect for fans’ intelligence and call it what it is: a commercial break.

Are we really going to keep up this charade for the entire tournament?

🚨JUST IN: Jurgen Klopp on cooling breaks:

"Football is being held hostage by executives in air-conditioned offices. These so-called 'cooling breaks' were sold to us as a shield for the players' well-being. It's nothing more than a gilded cage built for sponsors."

[Brandon Sirota @myinitialsarebs]

@JustinLever3 Eventually he was going to have an off game. Team relies on him too much I feel like. Plus whenever he pitches the batters take the night off so he has to constantly try to shut down the other team. It was going to catch up eventually

[Mike Bartner @MikeBartner]

Not to be NHL biased, but it’s so lame how the fucking owner lifts the trophy and talks first.

Get James Dolan off my screen brah let Brunson and KAT talk.

[Brandon Sirota @myinitialsarebs]

@seanhhm Some of the worst shot selection I’ve ever seen this series. Coach has gotta be on the hook too for constantly just throwing him out there

[The Touchline | 𝐓 @TouchlineX]

📺 Telemundo TV commentator: "We are one of the only networks in the world to NOT show ads during the World Cup cooling breaks."

"We prefer the old school way. We should be able to see what the players do. We show fans, people enjoying, not the corporate direction of football."

@JustinLever3 I respect it and hope you’re right

[Brandon Sirota @myinitialsarebs]

@JustinLever3 Somehow this might be the boldest prediction yet

You got players in the NFL RIGHT NOW who have domestic violence cases and multiple DUI’s. But apparently Caleb Williams painting his nails is sending the “wrong message” to kids. Y’all got it fam.

crazy how painting your nails is where people draw the line in a league full of players with assault allegations and felony charges
