🚨🗣️ Pep Guardiola: "I love Messi, but I feel like Argentina is being favored too much in this World Cup. They commit so many fouls without even getting a yellow card, while Argentina gets penalties for similar challenges. If this continues, it could ruin football".
@pispireto_____ Cualquier afirmación que comience con un “Normalicemos” es una patraña que yendo contra el sentido común y la verdad, pretende
una realidad alterna.
🚨 Thibaut Courtois: "We have PUNISHED the DISRESPECT that the Americans have shown us in the last few days.
I was way more confident we'd beat the USA than I was of beating Senegal, simply because Senegal are a MUCH better team than the USA."
🚨 José Mourinho on Argentina vs. Egypt:
“This is daylight robbery. It’s a shame what football is becoming. How do you let the play continue, allow the goal to be scored, and only then decide to go back and cancel it? If there was a foul, stop the game immediately. Don’t wait until after the goal.
Then I ask another question—why wasn’t Argentina’s first goal reviewed with the same attention when it looked very close to offside? Why was every incident involving Argentina checked, while Egypt didn’t seem to get the same treatment?
VAR is supposed to bring fairness, not confusion. Today, it looked like every important decision went in Argentina’s favour. Football deserves better.”
Lautaro se tira, pita falta y encima tarjeta. Otro Mundial manchado para siempre. Un gran país como es Egipto no se merece semejante atropello. Esto no es fútbol. Puro negocio sin sentimientos.
Incredible Egyptian goal is disallowed because of a foul far away, then same situation a few minutes later and goal for Argentina not disallowed! No VAR, nothing? FIFA again looks like a corrupt joke, playing favorites for stars.
🚨🗣️ José Mourinho on FIFA overturning Folarin Balogun's red card following Donald Trump's intervention:
"Everyone is acting so shocked today. Everyone is crying about politics and Donald Trump making phone calls to Gianni Infantino to change the rules. But why are we surprised? The integrity of this tournament was thrown in the trash in the very first week.
All this started when FIFA let Lionel Messi escape a clear red card for a studs-up challenge. When you decide that the rules do not apply to the poster boy, you open the door for everyone else. If the referee's monitor can be ignored for Argentina's captain to protect the brand, why can't a suspension be ignored for the United States President?
Folarin Balogun gets a red card, Trump makes a call, and suddenly FIFA finds a magic 'Article 27' to let him play against Belgium. It is a circus. We are no longer watching a World Cup, we are watching a political reality show where the rulebook is just a suggestion based on who you are and who is watching."
🔴 Communiqué officiel de la RBFA en réaction au sursis accordé par la FIFA à Folarin Balogun :
« La RBFA est stupéfaite de la décision de la FIFA de déclarer le joueur américain suspendu Folarin Balogun éligible pour jouer dans le match USA–Belgique de lundi, 6 juillet à 17 h 00 (heure de Seattle).
La FIFA fonde sa décision sur l'article 27 du Code disciplinaire de la FIFA.
Cette disposition stipule que la Commission de discipline de la FIFA peut décider de suspendre l'exécution d'une sanction disciplinaire précédemment imposée.
Cependant, l'article 66.4 du même Code disciplinaire de la FIFA prévoit clairement qu'un carton rouge (expulsion) entraîne automatiquement une suspension pour le match suivant de l'équipe, comme cela a été le cas pour tous les cartons rouges précédents prononcés lors de cette Coupe du Monde FIFA.
De plus, indépendamment de ce qui précède, cette décision est en contradiction directe avec les dispositions du Règlement de la Compétition de la Coupe du Monde FIFA 2026, telles que prévues à l'article 10.5 :
« Si un joueur ou un officiel d'équipe est expulsé en raison d'un carton rouge direct ou indirect (deuxième avertissement), il sera automatiquement suspendu du match suivant de son équipe. De plus, des sanctions supplémentaires peuvent être imposées. »
Le caractère automatique d'une telle suspension a également été réaffirmé explicitement dans la Circulaire n° 16 de la Coupe du Monde FIFA 2026, qui a été distribuée à toutes les associations membres participantes le 12 mai 2026.
La même règle est répétée à chaque Réunion de coordination des matchs de la Coupe du Monde FIFA 2026 avant chaque match et est incluse dans toutes les présentations des ateliers de la Coupe du Monde FIFA 2026.
Afin de sauvegarder les droits légitimes de toutes les équipes participantes et de protéger les principes fondamentaux du fair-play dans notre sport, tant lors de cette Coupe du Monde FIFA que lors des éditions futures du tournoi, la RBFA examine toutes les options potentielles. »

🚨Zlatan Ibrahimović on England eliminating co-hosts Mexico after a thrilling 3–2 FIFA World Cup clash:
“First of all… what a football match. This is why the FIFA World Cup is the greatest tournament in football. From the first whistle it had everything—two penalties, one red card, controversial refereeing decisions, brilliant goals and unbelievable intensity. It was the kind of match people will talk about for years.
Mexico cannot leave this tournament with tears. They leave with their heads held high. Before the match I heard a Mexican fan say, ‘Whether we win or lose doesn’t matter. What matters is that we give the world a great game.’ They did exactly that. Raúl Jiménez, Julián Quiñones, Edson Álvarez, Santiago Giménez and the rest of the squad gave everything, while the supporters never stopped believing. The football world will respect this Mexican team.
England also deserve enormous credit. Jude Bellingham was outstanding, Harry Kane delivered again, and Anthony Gordon showed why he’s such a special player. I also have to praise Thomas Tuchel. It takes courage to trust these players, and they’re fighting for him with everything they have. You can see a team that believes in its manager.
If England had lost tonight, Quansah wouldn’t have been able to sleep after that red card. His teammates saved him. That’s football. England celebrate qualification, Mexico leave with pride, and everyone watching was treated to one of the best matches of this FIFA World Cup.”
Kylian Mbappé:
“Sports betting is destructive. It has ruined the lives of some people I know. That's why I refused to appear in sports betting advertisements. Many of us come from the suburbs, and it destroys the lives of countless people there.”
🇫🇷 Mbappe já ameaçou não jogar pela seleção francesa se fosse obrigado a fazer publicidade para Bets!
"Nós somos a seleção francesa, inspiramos muitas pessoas por aí. Muitos de nós vem da periferia, onde isso destrói um número incalculável de pessoas."
