Trump has just created the perfect incentive for BiBi to assassinate Trump.

Game on, Nige.

FIFA’s new head of integrity? #wato

Given the thrills & controversy of #FIFA #WorldCup, I bet you've all forgotten that tomorrow, Tuesday, sees the 1st qualifying round for next seasons' #UEFA #UCL. Matches include Lincoln Red Imps (Gibraltar) v Inter Club D'Escaldes (Andorra). Much better, honest stuff, but try getting a stream.

Following England defender Jarell Quansah's straight red card against Mexico, manager Thomas Tuchel has questioned the integrity of World Cup rules after Donald Trump successfully lobbied FIFA to overturn a similar match ban for US striker Folarin Balogun.

That's what happens when you take a penalty like a ballet dancer prancing across the stage #BRANOR

This is the funniest thing i've seen all day..

If Kane dived he should be booked. But he didn't, so penalty. #ENGCOD

With a grim inevitability, the machine-gun turrets turned to their new target and fired the same bullets

Messi, of all people, should know that you don't take a penalty by prancing up to the ball! #ArgAut

This story currently leads BBC Scotland. But down here in London you have to scroll all the way down past the London news, the World Cup, whatever the BBC calls its Reels equivalent, more World Cup, weekend picks and 'lazy summer recipes' to the 'around the UK' to see it

BBC News - Meloni tells Trump to 'focus on your own popularity' as row escalates www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Meloni will not, I'm sure, be the first woman to kick Trump in the balls, whether figuratively or in reality. I'm no psychologist, but I think he's frightened of them.

"WITNESS HISTORY IN DALLAS" is certainly a *choice* for an advertising slogan, FIFA.

Just in case you'd forgotten...

Seems appropriate today.

Forget Cruyff, Gullit and Van Basten this is the best ever moment in Dutch football.

In Italy it's easy to miss there is a World Cup taking place and not just because Italy are not taking part. Only 35 out of 104 matches are being broadcast on free to air TV.

Libé calls the riots in NI exactly what they are: racist. Shame the UK media and politicians can't see that, too.

And yet Infantino couldn't find the same grace to ask Trump for similar treatment for a tournament referee or teams' officials; and nor has a care in the world about the thousands of supporters skimmed for tickets and not able to use them.

This says it all, really

That’s called a bribe.

The USA is doing sportswashing all wrong. The idea is you do a Russia or a Qatar and welcome everyone in, trying to appear super-cute so that people stop thinking about your appalling human rights violations and corruption. You're not meant to shine a light on it. Stupid country.

Omar Abdulkadir Artan est un arbitre réputé en Afrique. Mais les Etats-Unis lui disent non et que fait la Fifa ? Elle ferme les yeux (et baisse son froc). Elle aurait pu se battre, le défendre, au moins faire semblant... Elle a préféré publier un communiqué bidon. ➡️ https://l.liberation.fr/UIb

Oh! Fuckity feck. #WC2026 #FIFA #USA2026 Iranians, Iraqis, Swiss, Scots (not to mention deporting already legal immigrants) ... Who next? This is not looking good.

A bit like moving #NUFC SJP to Redcar & saying it'll be great for economic development in the wide open spaces between! * I know, apples & pears comparisons: market, geography, catchment, sprawl etc. It's just how owners of a sporting institution can p about with their supporter base

There's a new initiative in Makerfield to put signs up pointing at places where idiots live.

Katie Lam MP said on BBC Radio 4 that welfare payments now exceed income tax receipts for the “first time ever”. That’s not true. Welfare has been higher than income tax for more than a decade.

#NUFC Being reported by multiple outlets. And cynical me tends to trust L'Équipe a bit more than I do others.

After Nigel Farage claims we're living under two tier policing Keir Starmer slams him at #PMQs "His response has been to call for rage, rage, that's his response to a father that lost his son" "Exploiting this tragedy to creating grievance and division is wrong" "It shows exactly who he is"

Racist politicians whip up racist outrage. Widespread disorder ensues. The courts treat widespread disorder with the severity that they have always treated widespread disorder. Racist politicians cry “two-tier justice”, whipping up racist outrage. Rinse. Repeat. It’s so fucking tedious.

It is objective fact PSG rested players through Ligue 1 season and were given further rests by league postponing fixtures before UCL games Second point is a straw man Using PSG as evidence of a club being fine after the CWC but ignoring their ability to rest players all season long is disingenuous

PSG's financial dominance has rendered their own domestic league such a cakewalk that some key players played more minutes in the Champions League than they did in Ligue 1 And the league still bent over backwards and postponed games to give PSG a greater chance of winning in the Champions League
