🚨BREAKING: Egypt vs Argentina recorded 23 referee mistakes. The highest at a 2026 world cup game

All of them were in favor of Argentina

[Kerry Burgess @KerryBurgess]

So Israel targeted and murdered a guy for organising screenings of the World Cup for displaced Palestinians in Gaza.
How is Israel still allowed to compete in the World Cup?

[Alan Ferrier @alanferrier]

Last month, Andrew "Lord Brillo" Neil feared a "return to the bad old days of Tartan Army football hooliganism" and had a "nagging feeling in the back of my head... something could trigger it all going badly wrong".

Let's see what Boston's Channel 10 has to say about that:

[Ari 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @ari_murray1]

Do we HAVE to go through this "why don't you support England" pish every time there's a major tournament ?

I don't support England cos I'm not fucking English !

[seira 🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬 @lha2tham]

IT WAS THE SAME FUCKING REFEREE???????????

[Middle East Eye @MiddleEastEye]

“By the way, in the country where children are dying, they wear the jerseys of Argentina, Barcelona, Manchester City, and Real Madrid.”

Egypt’s coach Hossam Hassan condemned the football community for their silence regarding the killing of Palestinian children

[Físico Impuro @FisicoImpuro]

Para los que no lo vieron, este fue el gol que le anularon a Egipto.

EL ROBO MÁS GRANDE EN LA HISTORIA DE LOS MUNDIALES

الفيديو حُذف من الفيفا الجبان ‼️

ولكن والله لو حذفوا حسابي، سأفتح غيره في نفس اليوم.

وسأعيد نشر هذا الفيديو، لأن ما يراه الناس لا تمحوه ضغطة زر بالحذف ..

ليبقى شاهدًا في ذاكرة الجماهير العربية على الظلم الذي تعرّض له منتخب مصر 🦅🇪🇬

[Scotland’s Coefficient @scotlandscoeff1]

When seeing the rising transport costs to get from Boston to the ground, a guy called Mike (@teevanography) took it upon himself to book buses for Scotland fans to get the games.

The fans had all paid in full for this, then at last minute the bus companies asked for an extra $14k! This would have resulted in asking over 1,000 fans to pay extra at short notice.

Instead, Mike was able to source alternate, cheaper transport (yellow school buses) which resulted in a huge amount left over, from what the fans had initially paid.

Mike took it upon himself to donate over $18k, with $15,000 going to a charity that helps school children in Boston.

Phenomenal work 👏

Hossam Hassan, Egypt’s 🇪🇬 coach, a hero of the World Cup ⚽️

Using his platform to speak against genocide in Gaza 🇵🇸

Abused by an Argentinian 🇦🇷 ‘fan’ flaunting the 🇮🇱 flag

Hossam points to his ‘Free Palestine 🇵🇸’ badge

Sorry to see Egypt 🇪🇬 go

Hope Argentina🇦🇷 are out soon.

[Alerta News 24 @AlertaNews24]

🇦🇷3️⃣⚽️2️⃣🇪🇬 | MUNDIAL 2026: Hossam Hassan, Director Técnico de Egipto: "Diré lo que pienso sin importar las consecuencias, este fue claramente un partido amañado y todo el mundo lo vio. Y quiero decir una cosa más, si quieren tanto que Argentina gane, ¿por qué llaman a todos a venir y participar?"

[Nuel @LfcNuel]

🚨🗣️ 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."

[Douglas Robertson @DougSRobertson]

Supporting Dundee FC all my life I wish to express my profound disappointment & disgust at the decision to arrange a friendly match against Maccabi.

This crass fixture demonstrates a complete lack of judgement given the continuing slaughter in both 🇵🇸 & 🇱🇧. I’ll not be back.

[Wee Jim's TA @WeeJimsTA]

A decent turnout of concerned protesters outside Dens Park tonight bringing attention to the scandalous and unnecessary decision by @DundeeFC to play against a team from a state carrying out a GENOCIDE 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
#sportswashing

[Show Israeli Genocide the Red Card @RedCardGlasgow]

Shame on Dundee FC for their announcement they will play Maccabi Haifa in a friendly this weekend.

By playing them, Dundee FC is sending the message that Palestinian suffering does not matter and that they are willing to be complicit in the sportswashing of war crimes.

[Beta Bastos @roberta_bastoss]

Um gesto que vai muito além do futebol. 🇧🇷🤝🇯🇵

Após a vitória do Brasil, um jogador da Seleção fez questão de consolar e dar forças ao atleta japonês.

Um momento de respeito, empatia e espírito esportivo que mostra que grandes vitórias também são construídas pela humanidade demonstrada dentro de campo. ❤️⚽

[John McGinn @jmcginn7]

Scotland days at school, kids faces painted in saltires at nursery, the excitement and togetherness that this tournament brought to everyone in our country means so much to us all.

No one wanted to progress more than us players, and as much as the experiences and memories we’ll share will last forever, that doesn’t take away from how much this still hurts.

What the gaffer has given this group, on and off the pitch, has been immense. Not only by taking us to major tournaments but by how together we have felt as a squad and as a nation. Representing Scotland means everything to us and to him I’ll be forever grateful.

I hope the generation of young Scots who experienced this World Cup grow up believing that seeing Scotland on this stage is the new norm.

Thanks to everyone in the stands and in the streets of Boston and Miami, and to everyone back home for the incredible support.

Proud to be Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

A Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 fan at the World Cup sees an 🇮🇱 flag & shouts for a Free Palestine 🇵🇸:

‘I was a nurse in Gaza 🇵🇸’
‘I volunteered’
‘I saw it for myself’
‘It is a genocide’

Refusing to be silenced 👏
