FIFA are doing everything possible to make sure Messi gets one last World Cup before he retires.
The bracket, the officiating, the VAR calls, the little “street-smart” fouls Argentina somehow always get away with… we’re not blind.
A player gets a head injury, leaves the pitch, and the referee waits for him to be treated before restarting play.
Lisandro Martínez scores from an offside position, but because it’s Argentina, VAR suddenly forgets how lines work.
Meanwhile Ronaldo’s Portugal vs Croatia went 8 minutes beyond the added time in extra time.
At some point, it stops looking like mistakes and starts looking like a script.
Isn’t it absurd that Annika Wells says her govt wants to protect children with their social media ban, yet won’t ban gambling ads being served to those same children?

I’m intrigued by the idea of Kyle and Karl joining to do a podcast. If they could find a third partner named, say, Kevin or Keith they could call it the KKK Show.
So, I have now watched two NFL games. Here is my Ted Talk on how the US Americans should make American rugby more attractive to us Europeans. (Because that is very important):
1) Europe should host it every year.
2) You should change the rules that I dont understand.
3) Get rid of any teams from cities that Europeans can not find on a map because they probably dont even exist.
4) Once Europeans start playing it, we will the best at it, because we have the best athletes.
5) In fact, we are probably already the best.
I haven’t said much about this World Cup, but I’m going to say this:
I never expected anything other than pettiness and bigotry from this administration.
And I definitely never expected anything less than corruption and incompetence from FIFA.
But I did expect basic decency and sportsmanship from the competition.
I have lost every ounce of respect I ever had for players and teams who remained silent in the face of blatant discrimination and unfairness against one participant.
At this point, not a single one of them is worth being called a sportsman, let alone holding the title of world champion.
Maybe the media could do some stories on how hard life really is for those struggling to make ends meet instead of how hard life is for whinging millionaires.
I want reporters to ask Pauline Hanson HOW she's going to make Australia into a monoculture. How is she going to achieve it? How is she going to enforce it? How is she going to maintain it? #auspol
ASK HER.
Congratulations to Trump on being chosen to present the FIFA World Cup Trophy. Who else could do it but the recipient of The FIFA Peace Prize, The FIFA Pool Boy Award, The Best Jesus of FIFA, and The FIFA Gold Squirrel for Cognitive Excellence.
Trump:
“I was disappointed with Italy, with the UK. I was disappointed with Germany and France. Spain is a horror show.”
Mmmmm and what is the common denominator here?…🤔
It’s you fuckface. You are the problem here.
All I can say about the reflecting pool debacle is that I thought it would be impossible to top the Four Seasons Landscaping plot line, but having the guy who said he was gonna drain the swamp accidentally MAKE A GIANT SWAMP is giving it a run for its money.
