🚨🎙️ Jürgen Klopp on Gianni Infantino’s plan to sell stakes in the FIFA World Cup; 🗣️"Look, I try to stay out of the politics, I really do. But at some point, you just have to ask: who is actually thinking about the game here? "Gianni Infantino comes out with this idea to sell twenty percent of the World Cup to private equity investors, and I just shake my head. It’s always about more money, more games, more commercialization. They want to hand out twenty million dollars to every federation to buy votes, but what about the actual sport? The World Cup isn't a tech startup you can sell stakes in to the highest bidder on Wall Street. It belongs to the players and the fans. But as usual, the people making these decisions are sitting in air-conditioned offices, miles away from a football pitch, treating a hundred years of history like an investment portfolio. "And then UEFA comes out and says, 'Oh, football has a soul, we will boycott!' Come on. Give me a break. "I’ve been criticizing UEFA for years about the Nations League, the bloated Champions League formats, and squeezing the players until they break. Now suddenly they want to act like the guardians of traditional football? It’s laughable. UEFA isn't angry because football is being commercialized—they’ve been doing that themselves for a decade. They’re just angry that FIFA found a bigger bag of money and didn't leave a cut for them. "It’s two giants fighting over who gets to keep the wallet, while the players and supporters are left in the middle, completely ignored. We keep adding tournaments, adding money, adding investors—and nobody stops to ask if the product on the pitch will even survive it."

Just spotted this. It's misleading and unnecessary, who eats 5/6th of a bag?

🚨 ¡ESCÁNDALO ARBITRAL EN EL MUNDIAL! 😳 La IFAB determinó que el VAR fue utilizado de forma INCORRECTA en el Argentina 🇦🇷 vs. Suiza 🇨🇭 de los cuartos de final. 🟥 El árbitro había amonestado a Leandro Paredes, pero tras revisar la jugada, el VAR cambió la decisión y terminó mostrando la segunda amarilla a Breel Embolo por supuesta simulación, dejando a Suiza con 10 jugadores. ❌ La IFAB fue contundente: el VAR podía corregir la identidad del futbolista sancionado, pero NO modificar la decisión disciplinaria tomada en el campo. Una expulsión que, según el organismo, nunca debió producirse.

Este es, quizás, el vídeo más descarado de la Final de la Copa del Mundo. Todos vimos cómo Enzo Fernández casi mata a Pau Cubarsí, pero si te fijas, más abajo, un jugador de Argentina, Nicolás Tagliafico, ve la tremenda patada de su compañero y, sabiendo que la ha cagado, se le ocurre tirarse al suelo y fingir una lesión. Enzo recibe la tarjeta roja, pero Messi se acerca al árbitro señalando a su compañero argentino caído (a Tagliafico) diciendo que está lesionado. Afortunadamente no coló. Son delincuentes, no jugadores de fútbol.

Argentina are the only team out of all 48 participants not to have a single VAR intervention against them, despite committing the most fouls in the tournament. Do you even realize how insane that is?

I’ll just leave this here…

Gianni Infantino🗣️: “FIFA is officially the provider of happiness” Trump🗣️: “Unless his team loses (Argentina) Trump calling out Infantino for being corrupt right to his face on live camera is wild😭😭

UEFA HAVE JUST EXPOSED THE WHOLE FARCE UEFA have now clarified that VAR is not permitted to intervene simply because the referee booked the wrong player. That means the Embolo incident in Switzerland vs Argentina should never have been handled the way it was. The damage is already done, though. Argentina benefited from an intervention that UEFA’s own interpretation now says should not happen. Call it an “error” if you like. When every major mistake keeps favouring the same team, people are entitled to call it something else.

🗣️Thierry Henry: As someone who has proudly supported Lionel Messi for years, I never imagined I would be voicing out this, But what I have witnessed at the 2026 World Cup has left me disappointed, frustrated, and questioning the integrity of the tournament. From my perspective, Argentina seemed to receive the benefit of crucial refereeing decisions. In the match between my country France against Paraguay, there were repeated rough challenges that, in my view, deserved yellow or even red cards, yet the referee chose not to act. Watching similar incidents from Argentine players go unpunished has made it difficult for me to believe that every team is being treated equally. If winning a World Cup means leaving millions of fans questioning the fairness of the competition, then that victory loses part of its meaning. I’d rather see my team lose in a fair contest than win under a cloud of controversy and corruption. The World Cup should be decided by talent, determination, and merit not by decisions that leave supporters around the world asking whether the playing field was truly level.

The rot at FIFA has gone too far. Under Infantino, political greed has completely broken the game we love. We can't just watch from the sidelines anymore, the FA and our European partners need to walk away and build a fair, clean alternative from scratch. It’s time to move on.

When Xhaka told the referee “just give the trophy to Argentina, give it to them” 💀😭

The World’s End in Finsbury Park… very good!

FIFA fined our players for wearing poppies in 2016. They banned Spanish players in 2024. The Argentinian players’ display yesterday was disgusting and an insult to the Falkland Islanders. Why shouldn’t FIFA ban the Argie players from the final??

I think this is the main reason why everyone is so frustrated with the rules of the game. This is a FOUL. Spence beat Messi to the ball and Messi stomps on his foot. FOUL. The play goes on and they end up scoring the winner. No VAR intervention, no mention of it. Goal stands.

🚨⚠️📢 𝗠𝗔𝗝𝗢𝗥 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: UEFA distances itself from FIFA. Italy, Germany, Portugal, Norway, and Ireland say Euro 2028 will prioritize transparency and the true spirit of football. They are reportedly unhappy with Gianni Infantino’s political ties to Donald Trump, perceived favoritism toward certain teams at the World Cup, the treatment of Iran’s team during the tournament, and the controversies surrounding FIFA and the AFA. They are also considering backing a candidate to challenge Gianni Infantino for the FIFA presidency amid growing criticism of FIFA. — @MotivacionesF

🗣️ Javier Hernández: “I have never seen a team get favored and protected like Argentina in a World Cup, ever in my lifetime. I couldn’t believe my eyes watching that first half. I think it was Enzo Fernández who elbowed Elliott in the back of the head, and the referee stood there and did absolutely nothing—not even a yellow card. They were playing dirty, committing foul after foul, yet no yellow cards were given. This makes Messi’s World Cup questionable because, if we’re being honest, Argentina has been getting protected since the group stage, and the same thing happened in the 2022 World Cup. No one should be proud of winning a World Cup this way.”
