Knock #fifa all you like (and rightly so), but staging the opening of the world cup on the 101st anniversary of Herbert Chapman’s appointment as Arsenal manager is a nice touch #Arsenal #HerbertChapman #gunners #azteca

One man’s alleged friend of “really bad people” is another man’s UEFA Super Cup referee. UEFA announces Somali Omar Artan will referee the game between PSG and Aston Villa after his World Cup dreams were crushed by US immigration officials.

I naively imagined that a design celebrating the triumph of freedom over slavery was something we could all get behind #Haiti #fifa #infantino #worldcup2026 www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

Different strokes for different folks #worldcup2026 #usa #mexico

Also Somali referee Omar Artan is a threat to our national security #worldcup2026 #fifa #infantino

Infantino laboriously listing potential winners of the world cup at his press conference, like a Just a Minute contestant trying to get to the end of a round without interruption #fifa #worldcup2026 #infantino

Infantino urges us to ‘chill and relax’ over the exclusion of Omar Artan from the world cup. Didn’t see that coming #infantino #worldcup2026 #fifa

"It's important to clarify this. There is a lot of misconception out there. Everyone will be welcome in Canada, Mexico and the United States for the FIFA World Cup." Gianni Infantino 2025 #worldcup2026 #Fifa #infantino

The idea that a world cup referee, appointed by #fifa, is a threat to American national security is ludicrous. #worldcup #infantino

Best ref in Africa (2025) a ‘threat to national security’ while armed only with red and yellow cards #wc2026 #fifa #infantino www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Amateurs. When faking phone calls always ensure the screen is not visible to others.

Here we gooooo.

‘Today I feel Iranian, today I feel Somali, today I feel Senegalese….’ #infantino #wc2026 #fifa

Omar Artan, CAF referee of the year in 2025, is denied entry to officiate at the World Cup. The United States is still, however, admitting white South Africans fleeing an imaginary genocide. #fifa #wc2026

Keenly awaiting FIFA’s clarification that only paper cones that dissolve on contact with water to be permitted in World Cup stadiums. #fifa #infantino #wc2026 www.theguardian.com/football/202...

The worst of the worst

#FIFA peace prize winner declares he’s no longer into peace so much, having missed out on more prestigous prize

Don't be fooled by FIFA's PR spin to cover its tracks. The reality of the 60 USD tickets barely makes a difference. Take England vs Croatia. Approx. 1% of the fans in the Dallas Stadium will have 60USD tickets via their NAs. That's about 800 from 70.000+. FIFA must do more.

Infantino mingling with Trump’s balls and not for the first time #fifa

The ‘honourable’ DJ Trump?

“Football’s number one fan” Infantino tells us football is about passion and love. Not corruption though, absolutely not that. #fifa

At last. But what will come next? www.skysports.com/football/new...

I wonder who the lucky winner will be? #fifa #infantino

Where to stage the #wc26 draw? Monterrey? Vancouver? Vegas? No, let’s go for the arts centre in DC Trump purged & stuffed with MAGA loyalists, while declaring the venue a no go zone for ‘wokesters’ and ‘anti-American propaganda’. Fits like a glove with FIFA’s vision of “football uniting the world”.

I am *broadly* in favour of saving the planet but would it fucking kill them to put lids on the half litre tubs of yoghurt?

Sorry not to have posted on here in months - we had several requests to make our post match phone in available on another platform (besides X) and so we will be streaming it to our YouTube account also - until the technology collapses under the strain - starting with Charlton on Saturday

FIFA maintaining its politically neutral stance by er, setting up shop in Trump towers. #fifa #fifacwc

Enzo Maresca on the Club World Cup: "I think it's a joke to be honest, it's not football. It's not for us. [...] If you suspend seven, eight games, that means that probably [this] is not the right place to do this competition." www.skysports.com/football/new...

Sports teams now standing up for the US constitution more effectively than the Democratic Party.

can't wait for the world cup
