This is what happens when you reach a World Cup final with rigging

[Romain Molina @Romain_Molina]

Pour rappel, la sélection haïtienne 🇭🇹 n'a pas eu le droit de jouer avec un maillot qui rappelait symboliquement la bataille de Vertières décisive avant l'indépendance du pays car la FIFA a jugé que cela était un "message politique"

C'est à la carte ou à la volonté de la Maison Blanche désormais la "politisation" à la FIFA...

[Mal @UtdMaI]

UEFA HAVE JUST EXPOSED THE WHOLE FARCE

UEFA have now clarified that VAR is not permitted to intervene simply because the referee booked the wrong player.

That means the Embolo incident in Switzerland vs Argentina should never have been handled the way it was.

The damage is already done, though. Argentina benefited from an intervention that UEFA’s own interpretation now says should not happen.

Call it an “error” if you like. When every major mistake keeps favouring the same team, people are entitled to call it something else.

[Skydog @FCB_Skydog]

I watched them go back to the Mesozoic Era to take away Egypt’s second goal for even less than this. There’s no way this can pass a VAR check unless the refs straight up turned a blind eye.

La revista Forbes, una de las más importantes del mundo, ha llamado a Messi “FIFA Princess”.

Legado completamente manchado.

[William Silveira ⭐️ @enghumanista]

Muito bem lembrado. Só dá pra fizer que essa Copa é uma vergonha e será lembrada somente por isso e nada mais.

[fan @NoodleHairCR7]

They went back a whole minute to check VAR and cancel the goal for Egypt v Argentina

But couldn't go back a few seconds to check this Messi foul before Argentina second goal

Most shameless and rigged World Cup ever.

‘What a win for England’

Sandgaard wanted to break even in football. ESI invested more in Range rovers than the club. Don’t get me started on Duchatelet but sure let’s complain about the lot who lost 16M to get us up from L1 because they’re only spent roughly a Mil 1 week into pre season #cafc

[Kate Wilton @KateWilton1]

Why aren’t the mainstream media picking up and reporting on this? It’s almost like it destroys their narrative.

For those wondering the visa bond implemented by the Trump admin against Cape Verde is $15,000 per person. Many players in this tournament are here without family or personal support because they literally cannot afford the visa.

[Leyla Hamed @leylahamed]

“My mum could not be here either for a visa issue, and the money we had to pay for it.”

This is genuinely sad. What FIFA and the U.S. have done in this WC should not be brushed off as just another tournament controversy. A historic disgrace.

[Brian McDonald @BrianMcDonaldIE]

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.

[WelBeast @WelBeast]

Qatar said it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from, you can come to the World Cup, just don’t drink alcohol at the stadium.

USA said you can’t come. Who you are or where you come from matters. We’ll decide who can and can’t participate. This isn’t a sport for everyone.

[SG @04gully]

S. Africa, Brazil and Qatar were all painted a certain way and had their own issues but at no point were they actively stopping players, teams, referee and fans from participating in the biggest sporting event, 3 days before it starts. America gotta be the worst hosts ever

[Alex Tiffin @RespectIsVital]

Lewis Hamilton donated over £20 million last year to the Red Cross and other various charities as well as well fully funding STEM education for disadvantaged British children via Mission 44.

That was just last year. I'm sure like you, it's not necessary he publicly note every charitable donation for people to decry or praise.

A brief search would have shown this.

[Damian Low @DamianLow3]

Weird that Farage decided the nation didn't need an "emergency address" on his £5 million gift.

Almost like this morning was to try and deflect from it...
