🚨 BREAKING: Jürgen Klopp is reportedly leading growing criticism of FIFA President Gianni Infantino, with calls for accountability over what many critics describe as one of the most controversial World Cups in recent memory. "This is our sport, not theirs," Klopp said.

YES

USA could be THROWN OUT of World Cup if Balogun plays despite Fifa ban backing as Belgium ‘leave all actions open’ www.the-sun.com/sport/166455...

Not that facts matter anymore but when the Belgian FA protested this flagrant rule breaking they were not engaging in an appeal process, which is a sham dreamed up by Fifa. As you were.

A question if I may: should the USMNT win that game, would it be possible for the Belgian FA, supported by UEFA, to file a complaint at CAS, arguing that the use of article 27 was egregious/abusive and that, therefore, Balogun was ineligible and...you get my drift. That's one big can of worms, no?

Who was the first team to beat the Mexican national side at the Azteca? The answer, which will probably come as a surprise to most people, is Tottenham Hotspur!

As huge and unpopular a call as it would be, the USA should leave Folarin Balogun on the bench for the entire Belgium game to avoid being tainted by any sort of association with Trump and Fifa's chicanery and machiavellianism.

NYT confirms Trump called Infantino to request a 'review' of Folarin Balogun's suspension bsky.app/profile/tari...

Incredibly strong statement from the Belgian FA, and rightly so www.rbfa.be/en/news/rbfa...

If Pochettino plays Balogun then he is a corrupt fuck too and needs to do one. If I was an American fan I would be deeply ashamed.

USMNT: Corrupt cheats. I hope they get battered.

If Pochettino doesn't refuse to play him it will be a blemish on his career too.

#Balogun if he plays he will be booed for the rest of his career

If poch, balogun or the US FA have an ounce of scruples he shouldn't play.

#Balogun Poch should refuse to select him

#FIFA-TRUMP #Corruption Bring back the European Super League

First Cristiano Ronaldo, now Folarin Balogun. When a Somali referee can't get in the country it's "unfortunate" but we should "chill and relax". No qualms with the Iranian team being ferried across the border as soon as possible. Brazen and shameful

No matter what one thinks of the red card, FIFA suddenly changing its rules to wipe it out is wrong and, yes, suggests the presence of, say we shall, a corrupting influence?

The referee of #PARFRA is a disaster and Paraguay is a disgrace for the @fifaworldcup2026.bsky.social #Worldcup @Fifa

Oliver refereeing this game as if it were a PL game. Nobody's told him all the other refs are doing it differently

After Egypt's historic knockout win over Australia, head coach Hossam Hassan walked onto the pitch carrying a PALESTINE flag. The Pharaohs advance, and their coach made sure the celebration carried a message the whole world saw.

#ITV #WORLDCUP The ITV picture quality is an abomination.

Farewell then, Jõao, and thanks. Your attitude, and actions, during the relegation run-in means that, for me at least, you're a Spurs legend forever. #warrior

I've been watching Harry Kane for 15 years and yet I don't think he's ever taken my breath away quite like that. I don't have the adjectives to convey how good that was, especially that second goal. England has never had anyone like him.

Thank you Rooney! He said Djed had no choice but to cover the space. Shearer is an arse.

Spurs being serious. At last. For @theathleticfc.bsky.social and free to read. www.nytimes.com/athletic/740...

Mateus Fernandes: A crazy price given the fact his club were relegated but... very positionally versatile and of a profile/technical quality that we've been crying out for, for years. Very happy it's done.

"Tell Jabba I'll get him his money..."

Daniel Levy supposedly thinks that we've massively overpaid given that JPvH has one year on his contract and, in isolation, it's like yeah, definitely but this is the lesson Levy never seemed to learn: the elite European football market is not buying used cars...

Love Richarlison

Thanks, PSG. But you’re still a stain on football and I don’t like you. Cheers, Iain.

A bunch of conservative assholes have tried to brigade the ITunes rating for The Extra Inch podcast because they don’t like the progressive views of the hosts. If you have a moment today, please drop a 5 star rating to support them. #COYS

Our thoughts go out to PGMOL at this difficult time. #COYS #COYSky

Tits beats Zionism #ESC #Eurovision

I did not believe Eurovision could do the football equivalent of going to penalties. Thank fuck.

No UHD stream for the CL final on TNT? That’s a bit shit!

Watch how many players now stop the ball and put their studs on it. It is controlled, deliberate. Slow, slow, quick, quick, slow, like an experienced tango dancer at a milonga. Roberto de Zerbi has awoken something in this group. My thoughts on Tottenham winning AGAIN www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

In U21 Euro qualifier yesterday, Bosnian players refused to shake hands with Israeli players 24hrs of Bosnian football Im loving

the NCAA uploaded raw footage of the UConn buzzer-beater from every camera CBS had in the building to youtube (will drop in the replies) and the best part has to be this hard pan to Dan Hurley's mom yelling HOLY FUCKING SHIT followed by a synchronized simultaneous HOLY SHIT by both Hurley parents

Tudor needs to be sacked tonight. 3 at the back never gonna work. Gray at RWB, Poro at CB and Tel at LWB is a joke. #SPURS #THFC

This says it all. The refereeing is UNFAIR and that's that. #PremierLeague

In fairness to Jim Ratcliffe, he has always put the UK economy and its jobs first. Like in 2010, when he shifted the corporate headquarters of INEOS to Switzerland and, around the move, sliced 4,000 jobs (a third of the workforce) out of the business in two years. A true patriot

James Van Der Beek 1977-2026 RIP

From the guy that leaked the team before the West Ham game. #FrankSacked #Spurs #TottenhamHotspur

The amazing thing about Tottenham Hotspur is that you never know when the next nadir is. Just as soon as you've hit one there's another nadir around the corner.
