The final ball into the box isn’t very good from Ireland, no real threat. A set piece looks like the best chance we have of scoring

It seems it’s business as usual for Israel, doing what they do best, killing Palestinians😠
Peace, what peace?
Further proof that Israel’s “war” was never about hostages

Sickening, both FIFA & UEFA are only interested in money, all their talk about respect, anti racism, etc. is just bullshit

FIFA and UEFA say on one hand keep politics out of Football, yet Gianni dragged Juventus to the White House and now publicly praises the Giant Wotsit.

Also Gianni you're showing your true colours by turning off the replies to your latest boot licking trick, We see the real you.

Gianni Infantino's latest Instagram post on how FIFA is going to help the Palestinians is only for those with strong stomachs. Infantino appears to be laying the ground to buy off the Palestinian Football Association and get them to drop their complaint against Israel, which has FIFA in a corner.

The protests exposed Israel’s genocidal slaughter and their denial of the facts. Israel’s reputation is in the gutter and America, UK and EU role in aiding and abetting the genocide is exposed

If you’re a Palestinian, even a Palestinian child, you’re a prisoner but if you’re Israeli you’re a hostage,
