Fins aviat, Camp Nou ❤️

FIFA no puede prohibirle a ningún futbolista de hablar en el idioma que más le plazca. Me parece una completa insensatez de los organizadores…

one thing I’ve learnt about the US in this tournament is how genuinely corporate they are..we are all watching a game with 22 blokes kicking a ball we do not CARE about which pop singer is in the crowd at the bumfuck arena

Te vas a quejar en cada cooling break? Sí

Naturalizar y aceptar los cuatro tiempos de 23 minutos es la muerte y la destrucción del fútbol tal y como lo conocimos.

Qué asco en lo que han convertido el torneo más valioso del mundo.

Honestly, good for him. F*ck this shit.

I have never watched so many ads in my life during a football match. Players used to sing national anthems, shake hands and it was kick off time. Now it’s ads after the national anthem. Ads during first cooling break. Ads during HT. Ads during second cooling Ads at FT.

Pausa de hidratación a las 9:30pm en Boston a 24 grados. Infantino acabó con el fútbol. Es nuestro deber moral criticar esta estupidez hasta que la quiten.

Well, among many others...

Breathtaking. Barcelona ❤️

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.

Literally felt like a breath of fresh air.

🚨 BREAKING: Top journalist Miguel Delaney drops a massive bombshell on LBC. He confirms the Trump administration is actively violating international World Cup contracts by completely refusing to guarantee basic freedom of movement for participating nations.

Pour les qualifications à la Coupe du Monde de 1966, la Confédération africaine de football avait boycotté l'événement en protestant qu'elle n'était pas respectée (aucun participant africain directement qualifié) Pour l'édition 2026, elle se tait lorsqu'un de ses meilleurs arbitres a été refoulé du sol américain et ne pourra pas faire la Coupe du Monde pour des raisons politiques La soumission n'a jamais servi (après le boycott de l'édition 66, la FIFA avait été obligée de garantir une place à une nation africaine)

Leaders often only hold the power we let them. Sometimes you either have to act or you are complicit.

When the U.K. Foreign Office considered denying North Koreans visas to play at the 1966 World Cup, FIFA told the FA that they would immediately relocate the tournament. That was when FIFA still had something remotely resembling a spine.

It's genuinely wild that "all qualified participants can enter the host country" isn't treated as the absolute bare minimum requirement 😭

Absolutely fucking embarrassing

FIFA once let Argentina's military dictatorship host a World Cup in the country. That was in 1978. This year's tournament, the one in Qatar and the next ones to come are just more dark pages of the same story. What should be a unique celebration in its core it's the opposite.

Hundreds of people DIED building these stadiums in pretty much modern day slavery conditions. Be for f*cking real. Another - very different - embarrassment and shame of a tournament doesn't somehow erase the previous criminal one. But the sports washing project was a success...
