World Cup 2026 (1 Viewer)

Given that Argentina have been childishly bad losers in a competition where they were clearly second best, there’s every chance that Trump still gives them the trophy.

I believe the USA have won. And frankly they did win. Bigly.
 
Imagine having your moment of triumph soundtracked by Shakira badly ripping off her own song from sixteen years ago.
 
If I was on the end of that line of players, I would have absolutely have put my shoulder through the back of Trump’s head whilst ‘celebrating’.
 
the head of La Liga in Spain has roasted Infantino today.

“They [Fifa] are destroying the football industry, which generates tens of thousands of jobs, for an event that lasts 40 days and involves a minority of players. We need fewer national teams and more protection for national football, at all levels. They don’t realise they are making irresponsible decisions.”

Tebas believes Infantino should resign, although he admits he finds it hard to envisage such a scenario. “He has the support of the system, of the federations. There is no opposition candidate, nobody wants to stand just to lose. It is a system rotten at its core.”

After 10 years at Fifa’s helm, Infantino is poised to be re‑elected for a fourth term in March, potentially standing unopposed for the third time in a row.

“Fifa arranges things as it wants, for what it wants, for its own interests, certainly not football,” Tebas said. “So if they need a 27-minute half-time break, they’ll have it.

“Hydration breaks are a lie. We have them in La Liga, but when it’s genuinely hot. The pitches in Dallas, Los Angeles, Atlanta had air conditioning; I had to put a jumper on in the stands. It was a lie, a break for advertising.”

he also strongly opposes the expansion of the World Cup to 64 teams. Infantino will be re-elected by a landslide because he's running an autocracy but hopefully more people start speaking out against him.
