Congratulations to Aida Youth Centre and all who supported them. Brilliant campaigning that put Infantino and Ceferin under serious pressure.
This is a symbolic victory amid a much wider tragedy that FIFA amd UEFA have done nothing to arrest.

FIFA’s Infantino, UEFA’s Ceferin intervene to save local soccer pitch in West Bank from destruction
The IDF had been scheduled to demolish the pitch this week but that has been suspended after negotiations, sources said.

This is astonishing, really
21 per cent of the Premier League’s history has had the City case hanging over it
That extends to 48.4 per cent if you go back to 2009-10 and the first season the charges relate to.

So Brooks is back, faster than expected. Interesting move from the tour essentially lobbing the ball into the court of Bryson, Rahm et al and seeing if they dribble. www.golfmonthly.com/news/brooks-...

The ticket pricing for the World Cup is a disgrace. Making fans pay for all eight games up front is a disgrace.
The game is being taken from the people and sold back to them at an unforgivable premium.

World Cup ticket prices are hideously, unforgivably expensive
Watching your country play shouldn’t be the pursuit solely of the super-rich - this is so far beyond the pale it has to cause a line in the sand

How a new deal was ever in consideration under these circumstances is a mark on Arsenal, and that’s even before the public backing from his manager (“after everything he’s been through”) and decisions to make him the cover star of programmes and hero content on social channels while this was known.

Thomas Partey guilty of five counts of rape. FIVE.
The club knew and looked the other way. If we’re in anyway serious about football being inclusive or protecting women in society, Arteta should resign.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Grim stuff. Depressing as much as it is infuriating. The irony being that the vast majority of those ‘protesting’ are…… the ancestors of immigrants.
