SENT OFF for covering his mouth! 🟥😲
It's a first at the World Cup as Paraguay's Miguel Almiron is dismissed under the new rule introduced earlier this year.
Imagine Iran fired a missile in to the US and killed 120 schoolchildren… we’d never hear the end of it… it’d be the greatest tragedy since 9/11… there’d be worldwide expectations of mourning and minutes silences before football matches.
Sky News has verified 152 of those killed when a US missile struck a primary school in Minab on the first day of the war.
Using a range of information sources, the faces of all the 120 students - aged 6 to 13 - and 26 teachers have been identified ⬇️

The United States has denied a visa for Iran's national team manager Mehdi Mohammadnabi.
He will be barred entering the U.S. for their the Fifa #WorldCup 2026 matches.
He & others also denied visas will travel to the team camp in Mexico whilst efforts to obtain visas continue.
Every now and again I’m reminded that Americans spell ‘check’ and ‘cheque’ the same and I reconsolidate my opinion that they are an embarrassment of a nation.
Reminder that the World Cup is being played in modern-day Nazi Germany.
That being said, that might be harsh on Nazi Germany because I don’t think they imposed such measures for the 1936 Olympics.

Why is every response to this people losing their heads about the times? 😂
Was the same in Japan/Korea 2002, same for Brazil 2014 etc. etc.
Nothing wrong with this.
I was confident I could of played a major part this summer for my country after the season I’ve had. I’ve been left shocked and gutted by the decision.
I’ve loved nothing more than putting that shirt on and representing my country over the years.
I wish the players, all the best this summer 🏴
This is why I wanted Arsenal to win the league.
I couldn’t give a fuck about the “Arsenal fans will be unbearable if they win it” argument. Why would I care?
City winning it nigh-on every year drains the emotion from the title.
This is going to sound like insanity to non-Brits who know us as the Beans on Toast country, but:
In a Full English, beans do NOT go ON toast. The toast is in a big pile on the side or on their own plate.
