The Yahoo Boys aren't just scammers — they're status symbols. Carlos Barragan's new book explores how online fraud became a pathway to wealth, fame and influence in Nigeria. https://t.co/gkLw6aoZti
Watching this game just thinking about how the Nigerian federation failed their country and players.
Nigeria have better players than both of these teams combined yet couldn’t top a group involving this same South Africa side.
🏆 Referee announced for 2026 #SuperCup!
We're pleased to share that Somali referee Omar Artan will officiate the highly anticipated match between PSG and Aston Villa in Salzburg.
The drinking is the easy part. Finding a beer from Iran is the hard part.
Iran banned alcohol in 1979. Brewing it carries lashes. So the "Iranian beer" in this photo is Istak, a non-alcoholic malt drink that became the country's workaround and now sells hundreds of millions of bottles a year.
Saudi Arabia is fully dry. Their entry is Moussy, the non-alcoholic malt that dominates Gulf supermarkets precisely because real beer can't exist there.
Then come the import problems. Cape Verde's Strela and Haiti's Prestige barely leave their home markets. Curacao and Jordan qualified for the first time ever, which means almost no exporter ever bothered building a supply chain for their beer.
A 48-team World Cup quietly created the hardest beer scavenger hunt on Earth. Qualification expanded faster than beer distribution did.
The man found all 48 anyway.
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.
