@CalltoActivism Well done Italy. They continue to be the only grownups in the room.

@MuhProxy @ChaosAgent_42 Warranty no longer valid after they threw in the hydrogen peroxide 🤣 What an absolute clusterfuck 🤣

@itswpceo Fuel by rail and through Syria which is in constant conflict 🤨 Let’s see how this pans out.

🚨🎙️ Roy Keane on Messi’s career ending tackle overlooked by VAR and the referee ;

🗣️”After the match yesterday all you see is Messi’s praises everywhere, the hype, the headlines, the hat-trick talk. Yeah, maybe he deserves some of it — the lad can still play.
But no one wants to say the truth. No one wants to address what went wrong yesterday.

That challenge was an absolute disgrace. Late, studs up, straight into the Achilles — career-ending territory. On any other player, anywhere else, it’s a straight red card and you’re marching off before half-time. But not when it’s Messi.
The referee bottles it, VAR takes a quick look and says ‘nah, carry on lad.’ Give me a break!

This is the World Cup, the biggest stage in the game. This is where the rules are supposed to mean something. Not bent, not softened, not ignored because of the name on the back of the jersey. Players have been sent off for half as much in this tournament. Where’s the consistency? Do the laws of the game suddenly not apply when it’s Lionel Messi?

This is why the game’s gone soft. Big names get protected, the rest get crucified. Absolute joke of officiating on the greatest stage of all.”

LA FUERTE DENUNCIA DEL DT DE IRÁN 😡🇮🇷

✈️ Amir Ghalenoei criticó la decisión de las autoridades de Estados Unidos de obligarlos a regresar "inmediatamente" a México, donde hacen base, pese a que no era lo planeado

💬 "No sabemos por qué nos hacen volver. Es muy raro, porque otros están tomando las decisiones en nuestro nombre. Se supone que íbamos a llegar dos noches antes a Los Ángeles y no nos han permitido"

💬 "Se supone que íbamos a dormir aquí e íbamos a volver a la hora de la comida y no nos lo han permitido. Nuestro equipo es el más oprimido de todo el Mundial"

[Irlandarra @martinez_j7902]

This World Cup, everyone with Norway 🇳🇴

The joy Norway experienced at the end of the match after defeating Israel 5-0:

Norway donated all the match's proceeds to Palestine.

[Ounka @OunkaOnX]

Richard Burgon just exposed the most glaring double standard in British policy

"Imagine if this weekend in London there was a Russian real estate event selling Ukrainian land. The government would ban it immediately.

Instead, we have an Israeli real estate event openly advertising the illegal sale of land in occupied Palestinian territories. The government recognizes Palestine. Why isn't this banned?"

Tras los JJOO de 1936 en la Alemania nazi, Jesse Owens, atleta negro que ganó cuatro oros, fue preguntado por su experiencia en Alemania.
Resulta que pudo alojarse en la Villa Olímpica y comer con el resto de atletas, en EEUU no.
Roosevelt se negó a recibirlo en la Casa Blanca y en un homenaje en NY en un lujoso hotel le prohibieron usar la puerta principal...
A partir de mañana vamos a ser testigos del arraigado y vigente racismo de un país que no ha mejorado mucho que digamos.
Mañana empieza el Mundial más racista de la historia.

Nem uma única bola rolou no gramado até agora e este é o quadro da COPA 2026:
• As equipes do Senegal e do Uzbequistão foram tratadas na chegada como criminosos, com buscas completas em seus orifícios.
• O melhor árbitro da África foi enviado de volta à Somália, apesar de seu passaporte diplomático.
• O Fotógrafo da equipe do Iraque foi impedido de entrar mesmo com visto válido.
• Foi negada a entrada nos EUA de 90% dos fãs marroquinos com ingressos já adquiridos.
• Foram recusados vistos a 14 membros da equipe de apoio do Irã.
• Foi negada a entrada no país do principal atacante da Suíça, o camaronês Breel Embolo. A equipe viajou sem ele. Após a forte repercussão, o visto foi enfim concedido.
• A equipe iraniana, cujos jogos serão todos nos EUA, foi proibida de pernoitar no país. Imediatamente a após cada partida, os atletas voarão de volta ao México, onde se hospedam.
- Qual é o sentido de sediar a Copa do Mundo se não pretendem que o MUNDO faça parte dela???

As the Persian proverb says: ‘A thief believes everybody steals.’
The worst World Cup host ever.

[FÚTBOL HUB @futbol_hubX]

🚨𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐍: Roman Molina provides a fresh update on Somali referee Omar Arteh;

🗣️ “Omar obtained a diplomatic passport and traveled directly, only to be stopped, questioned, and so on. They took his phone and tablet from him and haven't returned them to him yet, and he was deported from U.S. soil on a flight headed to Turkey.”

“FIFA issued a statement afterward saying ‘we cannot intervene in countries' immigration procedures,’ but in reality, FIFA did intervene in immigration procedures during the last World Cup in Qatar. But it seems like everything is measured with two different standards.”

“FIFA knows that the U.S. administration does whatever it wants, so we could have imagined they'd say to themselves: ‘Alright, let's play it safe and assign him to officiate matches in Mexico or Canada.’ But no, because FIFA is ruled by sheer incompetence.” 👀🥲

Iranian Football Federation announces the 8% ticket quota allocated to Iran has been revoked by the U.S., leaving the federation currently unable to distribute tickets to supporters.

A case study in political interference, discrimination and FIFA looking the other way.

[Sergio 🇫🇷 @Seergiot3ck]

🇲🇽 | México es el único anfitrión que de verdad está haciendo sentir a las selecciones que están llegando a un Mundial.

Mientras tanto en EE.UU. y Canadá la mayoría ni siquiera sabe que el torneo arranca en unos días. 🙄

@wy7usa @IranObserver0 Cartels r one of the biggest enemies of US, no doubt they support Iran in the conflict.

[Huaxteko @huapang00021]

@wy7usa @IranObserver0 Not that, idiot!
Cartels only fight Mexican security forces to "protect" the drug businesses they have with the DEA/CIA.
We protect the Iranian team against threats from psychopaths from the Epstein regime and the nazis of the Mossad since they even kill schoolchildren😡

[ebrahim @mosbatboy]

@IranObserver0 We, the people of Iran, thank the government and people of Mexico for this hospitality. We will never forget this friendly behavior.

[Hussain Shiyam 🇵🇸❓🎈 @ShiyamHussain]

This is utter bullshit. When Indonesia refused to grant the Israeli under 17 team visa’s for the 2023 U-20 World Cup, FIFA stripped Indonesia’s hosting rights and moved it to Argentina. So @FIFAcom can stop with the lies.

Mark Zuckerberg, an outspoken critic of "man-made climate change", shows off his new $300 million, 287-foot mega yacht, powered by four gigantic diesel engines.

Yet another stark reminder that Net Zero is only for the peasants

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

The 75 countries in red are the ones currently blocked from immigrating to the USA.

They also find it almost impossible to go to the World Cup, whether as a fan, journalist, player or even referee.

Why was the USA ever allowed to host the World Cup?

[Vitalii @Vitali_Iarema]

Billionaires literally paralyzed the Monaco harbor. Over 200 (!) yachts showed up for the latest F1 Grand Prix. Prince Albert II, Kim Kardashian, Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Donald Trump Jr., and a bunch of other celebs were spotted on board. Some of these boats even pulled up with $5 million Koenigseggs and Bugattis parked right on the deck.

And watch these exact same people gather at some climate summit later to lecture you about how dropping a candy wrapper is destroying the planet 💀
