They’re eliminated with this 3-0 defeat to Italy but they should have been banned altogether like Russia was

Guthrie Edson @guthrieedson.bsky.social · 3d

If FIFA/UEFA won’t ban Israel, then they’re sure doing a good job of banning themselves

The Athletic | Football @theathleticfc.bsky.social · 3d

Norway are 3-0 up against Israel after half an hour.

The visitors have scored two own goals, from Anan Khalaili & Idan Nachmias, with Erling Haaland also scoring after his earlier penalty miss.

Supporting this version of the Azzuri must feel like supporting the USMNT

Manor Solomon is getting jeered every time he touches the ball, he’s been one of the most outspoken pro-IOF players of the team and even was a part of it (which has prompted opposing fans in Spain to chant “asesino” at him)

It isn’t a full crowd in Udine but Hatikvah was VERY roundly booed ahead of the Italy-Israel WCQ #Footy-Live

Italy had looked like 💩ss for most of the half but got a penalty and Retegui buried it #Footy-Live

So it would pretty much take a massive collapse for SA not to qualify now

Guthrie Edson @guthrieedson.bsky.social · 6h

Is the points deduction actually in play for SA or is it just pending?

I will be missing the first Portugal game though since I will be down in the Ville for UVA-FSU

Just bracing myself for [REDACTED] to be on the roster tomorrow when it drops. I fear we will never be fully free of her even if she isn’t on *this* roster…

Guthrie Edson @guthrieedson.bsky.social · 7h

Yeah she's the one who you really build your midfield (and arguably the whole team) around

Even if she did have that hat trick against their biggest rival, it isn’t like she’s played a ton of minutes this season either

Before her hat trick vs PSG I was thinking that she had fallen off enough to not be considered but Emma will see the hat trick and immediately bring her back in

Congrats to all the people who have postured as intelligent and morally righteous for years but decided that they couldn’t take a stand against genocide or decided to justify and cheer on the massacre of a people for whatever reason. Now they can go back to playing the intellectual in peace.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

Fast food advertising is getting real nervous rn bc nothing looks like they say it does

Culture Crave 🍿 @culturecrave.co · 21h

Arby's is being sued for false advertising

Lawsuit alleges:

• Ads make the sandwiches appear to have 'at least 100% more meat' than they really do

• Made the meat look like rare roast beef when it is actually 'fully cooked'

Arby's lost its motion to dismiss the case

Fuck every journalist, politician, and academic whose only concern is Israeli families, while willfully ignoring the real pain and suffering of those being genocided. Fuck all of you!

CAPE VERDE, POPULATION 560,000, QUALIFY FOR A FIRST-EVER WORLD CUP 🇨🇻

The second-smallest nation ever to achieve that feat. Every US state has a bigger population, yet the Blue Sharks are on their way to football's big dance. Astonishing and inspiring 🦈
