This is probably the biggest scandal in World Cup history.
USA striker Folarin Balogun committed this outrageous foul against Bosnia and was shown a straight red card… but here’s where it gets crazy.
The White House publicly contacted FIFA and the tournament organizers, asking them to lift his suspension. And they actually did. Balogun is now eligible to play against Belgium.
The organizers cited something called a “probation period,” meaning the red card still stands, but instead of serving the mandatory suspension, he’ll only be punished if he commits a similar offense again.
A blatant manipulation of the rules for everyone to see, especially considering red-card suspensions are not supposed to be appealable.
When you’re expelled from school, but your dad is the Principal. 😭
Dr Betty Teh, who has been actively campaigning for Bersama in #PRNJohor, is urging the Chinese community to turn out and vote. She argues that voting may now be one of the few remaining avenues of influence left to them, after being progressively sidelined from other key institutions such as the civil service.
She is correct about the declining Chinese population share. The demographic forecasts are frightening. Given her clarity and commitment, Betty would make a strong candidate if she were to run under the Bersama in an urban seat. Am I right?
Ibrahim Sani, who stepped down from the position of Yayasan Peneraju CEO oon July 1, campaigns for Bersama in Johor wearing the party's yellow shirt.
It’s a strong statement, courageous deeds more than empty talks.
Malaysian should have patriots like him. Firm action in a scenario with zero promise of returns.

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.
Footage from an Israeli aircraft shows thousands of starving Palestinians running towards an aid truck, before it bombs and kills them all.
A video that the world must never forget.
Imagine if Iran bombed the White House in Washington and killed the U.S. President and Tiffany, his 14-month-old granddaughter, what would you call it? Terrorists
The U.S. bombed Tehran, killed its head of state and Zahra, his 14-month-old granddaughter. Why do you call it peace
🚨🗣️ José Mourinho on the refereeing in Argentina's 3-2 victory over Cape Verde:
"We are watching a script, not a football match. Cape Verde did not just play against eleven men from Argentina tonight, they played against the referee, they played against the system, and they played against the entire agenda of the tournament.
When you are a small nation, you have to be perfect to win. But when you are Argentina, you are allowed to make mistakes because the whistle will always save you. Every 50/50 challenge went one way. Every time Cape Verde built momentum, there was a convenient foul given. A 111th-minute own goal? The pressure was artificially created. It breaks my heart for Cape Verde because they were absolute warriors, but in modern football, being a warrior is not enough when the result has already been decided in an office."
🇮🇷 As world leaders landed in Tehran for Khamenei’s funeral, they were met with a memorial for the Minab school attack inside the airport.
Messaging doesn’t get more deliberate than this.

🚨 Drogba on Cape Verde after Argentina’s win:
🗣️ Reporter:
“Argentina are through, but what did you make of Cape Verde?”
🗣️ Drogba:
“I don’t remember watching a team play Argentina with so little fear. Argentina scored. Cape Verde answered. Argentina scored again. Cape Verde answered with probably the best goal of the tournament.
At no point did they play like a team that believed they were supposed to lose. That’s what impressed me.
Before this tournament people asked me who the surprise package would be. Some said Croatia. Some said Japan. I don’t think anyone expected Cape Verde.
They played Uruguay. They played Spain. They played Argentina. And somehow every game felt like the other team had to earn it. They may be going home.…but they’ve made the whole football world remember their name.”
¡HONOR, CABO VERDE!

@bin_salle39329 I don’t regard arak & babi as sensitive issues. Muslim dharamkan from consuming them and we have proper rules & guidelines to co-exist harmoniously. Corruption pun haram. The fitnah & mudharat caused by its being systemic affect all. Yet we seem to have 2 darjat in ruling it.
Akhirnya habis lawatan kerja saya ke China selama dua minggu (walaupun dah resign, saya masih tengah serve notis sampai hujung bulan ini. Masih ada lagi kerja perlulah disiapkan 😅) Sampai Singapura pukul 11pm smlm. Pagi ini terus merentas Tambak Johor masuk JB untuk bantu @partibersama berkempen.
Ramai sukarelawan pun sama, bekerja waktu siang, pastu turun bantu kempen slps waktu kerja. Untuk seminggu yang akan datang, tiap2 hari saya pun akan ulang-alik merentas Tambak Johor untuk bantu kempen, and be the change I want to see.
Saya percaya BERSAMA boleh membawa kelainan. Sudah tentu ada kekurangan, tapi masih byk kepentingan bersama yang boleh menyatukan rakyat Malaysia seperti ISU2 EKONOMI.
Jumpa malam ini di ceramah BERSAMA di Taman Molek pukul 7pm & Ungku Tun Aminah 9pm malam ini.
Sekolah Tempat Lubuk Duit Syarikat Swasta, Cikgu Jadi Buruh Paksa
Weh, seriuslah, naya gila! Ini dah melampau punya bebanan tambahan dekat cikgu-cikgu.
Memang tak masuk akal langsung.
