They aren’t even hiding what these hydration breaks are about. It’s 75 degrees under a roof at SoFi, the announcer says “that’s the end of the first quarter,” and then it’s straight to commercials. The game is gone.

When Russia hosted the World Cup in 2018, it had to suspend normal visa rules for the tournament. Foreigners with tickets could enter visa-free, using a scheme called ‘Fan ID.’

Russia also had to do weird stuff to keep FIFA’s sponsors happy. For example, small shops near Fan Zones and stadiums could only sell Budweiser beer on match days.

So yes, FIFA absolutely does dictate conditions to host governments when it suits FIFA. Infantino pretending otherwise is nonsense.

@OLBG @JeffStelling @mattletiss7 Yeah because he’d definitely had been ahead of Zidane or Rivaldo in the French and Brazilian teams of the 90s… 🤣

Mehdi Hasan slams Elon Musk, "He is obsessed with finding these cases where he can then amplify far right voices"

"He doesn't just do it in England with Tommy Robinson, he does it in German with the AfD, obviously he does it in the US with Twitter"

Victoria Derbyshire, "What is he seeking to do?"

Mehdi Hasan, "He's seeking to embolden some of the worst far right voices in the Western world"

"That's why he's funding so many people all over the place"

"This is his agenda. It's a very racist agenda. We see that in the US with the Republican party"

"Elon Musk amplifies some of the most neo-nazi voices on Twitter"

"You can take the boy out of apartheid South Africa, can you take apartheid South Africa out of the boy?"

So far at the 2026 FIFA Epstein Cup before a ball kicked:
- Senegal & Uzbekistan squads treated like criminals upon arrival given full cavity searches;
- Africa’s best referee sent back to Somalia despite having a diplomatic passport;
- Iraq team photographer sent back despite valid visa;
- AIPS (international sport journalist association) calling on FIFA to sort out unacceptable visa issues of African & Iranian journalists;
- 90% of Moroccan fans with tickets denied entry
- 14 members of Iran backroom staff denied visas

Not a word from Gianni ”today I feel black/gay/disabled etc” Infantino.

Must have missed the memo on this one #dcfcfans 😂😂

@samuel_z1993 @KieranMaguire Good. Perhaps in your country your precious leader Keir Starmer rounds up the populous under threat of imprisonment to fill the stadia to watch “Derby” but a full stadium is not a human right

[Fraser Nelson @FraserNelson]

It's not just the exploitation of a tragedy.

JD Vance's picture of Britain - where migrants have led to a crime surge - is the opposite of the truth.

Nothing quite screams patriotic like traveling to a part of the country you aren’t from, destroying the local area and causing grief for the people that live there. Proper England 💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@RJConway92 One of the many things I like about David Clowes is his complete lack of interest in being some kind of main character.

[James Cleverly🇬🇧 @JamesCleverly]

When he resigned he said it was because he was being prevented from making the changes needed to bring down immigration.

He is now claiming that he made the changes that brought down immigration.

Both can’t be true.

[Mark Cockerton @CockertonMark]

When you became a Councillor just by convincing the gullible that everything is the fault of immigrants. Then you find out that you need to actually do something other than put up flags, sing the national anthem and say the Lord’s Prayer.

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

More than twice as many Brits emigrated in a calendar year when Braverman was in the cabinet.

Whole new realities are being crafted by these guys - where 170k net migration is actually more than a million.

[Curtis Daly @CurtisDaly_]

Despite this, anti-immigrant sentiment has increased. Proof that it's a manufactured political issue.

[Richard Cutcher @RCutcher]

There are a lot more scandalous things going on in politics right now, but MPs being so brazenly comfortable to defend subsidised booze at work will never stop being bizarre to me. What a strange hill for them all to die on.

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

MP's groaning and jeering as Hannah Spencer points out her constituents have to pay the full price for a pint whereas MP's get their alcohol subsidised #PMQs

[Florence Lox 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @floboflo]

Tories such as Braverman, Jenrick, Kruger, Tice and Dorries need to apologise to the nation for not doing something in 14 years which could be done in under 2.
They all need to resign

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

Actually, this photo is PROOF that gullible dimwits will believe a Shakira concert in Rio is London and it will be wildly shared and liked because Musk's X is designed to encourage and reward such lies and misinformation.

[Marl Karx @BareLeft]

Ultimately, there is no amount of facts, logic, rebuttals, statistics, or graphs that can truly counteract a paid agitator snorting a line of coke backstage before lying to a crowd of people who want to be lied to so very much.
