Well done to @anabnos.com for putting his personal and professional interests to one side in order to express in eloquent, powerful fashion an increasingly clear truth: the World Cup should be taken away from the US.

Removing US as World Cup host would be eminently sad – and entirely justified | Alexander Abnos
A country where safety is under threat from federal violence on the streets is not fit to stage soccer’s showpiece event

There's no way FIFA should be hosting a World Cup in the US in this climate. It's a big risk if they do, potentially endangering visiting and domestic fans.
If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

I’ve never understood how this wouldn’t cause absolute mayhem. Defenders holding the line and having to look behind them. Gives attackers way too much of an advantage and alters the game quite drastically imo.
Will Arsene Wenger's daylight idea fix offside?
Looking at:
🔹 VAR's negative influence in the drive for change
🔹 How semi-auto offside goes wrong in other leagues - watch for confetti!
🔹 Will the law be altered?
🔹 Unintended consequences

Offside and VAR: Is Arsene Wenger's daylight idea the solution?
Is the offside law about to change to Arsene Wenger's daylight idea? And should football make that change just because of VAR?

I don’t really get the criticism that city played first team players Saturday, if you play all kids you haven’t taken it seriously, if go strong apparently you are a bully, was there any other premier league side that didn’t include first team players in their line up?

Trump is now saying "something's gonna have to be done with Mexico" in relation to cartels, which is the same excuse he's used to attack Venezuela. Wonder how FIFA will respond to this 2026 World Cup co-host issue given Infantino's recent involvement in the region's politics...
FIFA's Peace Prize winner Donald Trump is bombing Venezuela less than a month after picking up the award from Gianni Infantino. Trump is also on his socials boasting about capturing Venezuela's president Nicolas Maduro.

He won’t, of course, but you do hope that somewhere between the press releases and private flights, Gianni Infantino glances at today’s headlines and feels the faintest flicker of embarrassment for inventing a novelty peace prize and handing it to Donald Trump.

Another price increase for the 2026 World Cup…
Sensing strong demand, FIFA raised the cost of many tickets to record-setting heights — the first large-scale implementation of its “variable pricing” strategy.

I get being upset with the decision from a fan perspective, do think it could’ve gone either way but it’s not like it was the last kick of the game, if an offside goal in the first half was the only way they saw themselves getting back into it then you can’t say the better side didn’t win
Liverpool have contacted referees’ chief to raise concerns about VVD’s disallowed goal in the 3-0 defeat to Man City.
Liverpool have told (PGMOL) that they do not accept that the decision was arrived at for subjective reasons. That no elements of the criteria needed to disallow the goal were met “

In the last month, the FBI has charged players from two different leagues for roles in sports-betting scandals.
Either legalized gambling is exposing corruption that’s always been there.
Or it’s creating it.
Either answer is terrible for sports.

I get underlying xG is important for analysis but City also looked the significantly stronger side. Beyond the eye test City had double the shots and almost half of those on target, compared to one shot on target for Liverpool, and that’s while also not completely dominating possession
