To all the Arsenal fans, thank you for everything, from the bottom of my heart.

Once a Gunner, always a Gunner.

To @lotussmalaysia , I really hope this gets your attention. (LOTUS’S SELAYANG)

Today was supposed to be a normal grocery shopping trip with my wife, who is currently 38 weeks pregnant and could give birth at any time.

Instead, it turned into one of the most humiliating experiences we’ve ever had.

After we finished paying for our groceries, this staff member stopped us right outside the cashier.

Without introducing himself or explaining the situation properly, he looked at my wife and asked:

“Akak simpan barang apa tu dalam perut?”

Imagine hearing those words directed at your wife, who is heavily pregnant.

I was shocked. I immediately asked him, “Barang apa yang wife saya curi? Siapa yang nampak?”

Instead of showing any evidence, he said they wanted my wife’s Buku Pink as proof that she was pregnant.

That wasn’t enough.

They also wanted my wife to show her stomach to prove she wasn’t hiding stolen items.

Let that sink in.

A woman who is 38 weeks pregnant was being asked to prove her pregnancy because someone thought her baby bump looked suspicious.

At that moment, I completely lost my patience.

I told them if they were accusing someone of stealing, then they needed to provide proof, produce the witness, and call the supervisor immediately.

Instead, we were made to stand there for almost 20 minutes, surrounded by other shoppers, while they tried contacting their supervisor.

My wife was already exhausted from carrying our baby, and now she had to endure public embarrassment on top of that.

When the supervisor finally arrived, I insisted that the cashier who made the accusation come forward.

When I asked her directly:

“Bila awak nampak isteri saya ambil barang?”

Her answer shocked me.

She admitted she never actually saw my wife taking anything.

Her suspicion was simply because my wife’s stomach “didn’t look like a pregnant belly” and she thought it looked like someone hiding merchandise.

So there was no witness. No evidence. No stolen item. Only an assumption.

Eventually, she apologised to my wife.
The male staff member who confronted us remained silent until I took a step forward to punch him. Only then did he apologise.

Honestly, this isn’t even about the apology anymore.

It’s about the way my wife was treated.

She is carrying our first child. She is due to deliver any day now.

Throughout this pregnancy, I’ve done everything I can to protect her, reduce her stress, and make sure she’s comfortable.

Then, in a matter of minutes, two staff members made her feel like a criminal based solely on the appearance of her pregnant belly.

No pregnant woman deserves to go through this.

No customer should be publicly accused without evidence.

If you genuinely suspect theft, follow proper procedures professionally.

Don’t make assumptions.

Don’t ask a pregnant woman to expose her stomach.

Don’t ask for her medical records to prove she’s pregnant.

And definitely don’t embarrass innocent customers in front of everyone.

I sincerely hope Lotus’s looks into this incident seriously. This isn’t just about us.

It’s about making sure no other pregnant mother has to experience the same humiliation.

Please do better.

To that guy yang confront us in the beginning, I’d say it was your lucky day because the only reason I tak tumbuk you was to avoid any violence in front of my wife.

And for you cashier lady, why kau tak jadi doktor je?

People are upset about the World Cup because instead of bringing the world together it’s another reminder of how unjust the world is.

It’s not a conspiracy. A Somali referee was denied entry to the U.S., that’s a fact. The U.S. tried to swap Iran for Italy, and then mistreated the team, that’s a fact. The U.S. president made a call to reverse a red card for an American player, that’s a fact…

From discrimination and over-priced tickets, to commercial breaks and VAR issues, many people who have watched and enjoyed the World Cup since childhood are more than disappointed. The whole tournament was tainted from the beginning, starting with a fake peace prize to gratify the host country.

[vampira @vampl0vrrr]

this is exactly why egypt was never going to win.

FIFA. a zionist organisation would never allow it.

[pode me chamar de helena @ahelenacomy]

Esse tecnico do egito acusando o juiz de racismo e erguendo bandeira da palestina é o tecnico com maior culhão da copa i love you habibi

[Nihal | نهال @nihalist___]

Egypt coach Hossam Hassan took another opportunity at Egypt’s pre-match press conference to double down on his solidarity with Palestine saying “anyone not in solidarity with Palestine doesn’t deserve to live or be human”

[Middle East Eye @MiddleEastEye]

“By the way, in the country where children are dying, they wear the jerseys of Argentina, Barcelona, Manchester City, and Real Madrid.”

Egypt’s coach Hossam Hassan condemned the football community for their silence regarding the killing of Palestinian children https://t.co/AIgbitqNvE

[Jakelyne Loiola @Jakelyneloiola_]

DECLARAÇÕES FORTES!

O técnico do Egito, Hossam Hassan, fez duras críticas.

“Vou dizer o que penso independentemente das consequências. Esta foi claramente uma partida manipulada e o mundo inteiro viu isso.”

“E quero dizer mais uma coisa: se eles querem tanto que a Argentina vença, por que chamam todo mundo para vir e participar?”

[KinG £ @xKGx__]

🚨🗣️ Hossam Hassan on Palestine:

“By the way, the Palestinian children you are leaving to die love football. They wear Barcelona, Real Madrid and Argentina shirts.

They love you and they love football… but you are leaving them to die.” 💔

نوآ:
"چرا تیم‌های آفریقایی و خاورمیانه‌ای باید جواب کارهای دولت‌هاشون رو بدن، ولی تیم‌های اروپایی نه؟
دم تیم ایران گرم؛ اومدن فقط فوتبال بازی کنن. هر روز برای بازی پرواز می‌کردن، هر بار هم ساعت‌ها توی گمرک و بازرسی معطل می‌شدن، ولی با احترام رفتار کردن و کاملاً حرفه‌ای و منصفانه بازی کردن.
با این حال، بعد از هر بازی به‌جای اینکه درباره فوتبال ازشون سؤال کنن، مدام می‌خواستن بکشنشون وسط بحث‌های سیاسی؛ مثلاً می‌پرسیدن نظرت درباره اتفاقات تنگه هرمز چیه. خب طرف هم می‌گه: داداش، من فوتبالیستم، نه سیاستمدار."

[James🔻 @GoodVibePolitik]

Iran deserved better this World Cup. Visa issues, lack of ability to recover, forced to take flights in and out, every game winning goal overturned by VAR, and now two teams playing to essentially tie in an outcome that ensures their elimination. They played damn well. A shame.

[Madame La Directrice @jenny_gxo]

You see why it’s important to just go and put your family first like Jeremy Doku? Missed a super important moment with your wife and child only for the same country you put first ending up harassing your wife and child anyways.

[LPC @landpalestine]

The UN has officially declared Gaza a genocide. And that Israel is deliberately targeting children and babies

Only took them 3 freaking years to get there

[Today Years Old @todayyearsold]

The rest of the world is finally saying what Americans have been thinking for years

[Leyla Hamed @leylahamed]

Héctor Bellerín @HectorBellerin has once again used his voice for Palestine, reminding us football can be a powerful platform to send positive messages.

He also pointed to FIFA’s double standards. Football stood with Ukraine, but failed to do the same for Palestine.

[Kwadwo @Kwadwo_Hemeng]

Hundreds of kids will watch them on tv and begin their journey to play for Curaçao at the next World Cup

That’s the impact these “smaller” nations make in football.

[Michelle @D162Michele]

Americans will bomb your country and kill your citizens.
But will also be deeply offended when someone does a 'finger gun shooting' celebration.
Seriously, they can go f@ck themselves!

[Nahid ناهید @NahidPoureisa]

This is disgusting. How desperate Americans are. They are saying Iran’s national team captain doesnt have a visa anymore and it’s already expired because he entered the US and he can’t come back for the next match. And you already know why he has to come back? Because our team has to travel to Mexico every time and come back for the next match. Their hatred and deep fear toward Iran is making me proud.

🇺🇸🇲🇽 | 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.
