Mbappè could be going for a three-peat if they didn’t rig the previous World Cup.







🚨🎙️ Otamendi on Messi letting him take the penalty “Leo just looked at me and said, ‘You take it.’ I was shocked… he didn’t need to do that. He could’ve added another goal, another record, but that’s not who he is. He always thinks about the team first. Playing alongside him is special. Moments like that show why he’s the captain, the leader, and honestly… the greatest of all time.”

Two lads debuting for Ireland — fair play if eligible. But Ireland went from 87% White Irish (2006 census) to ~77% (2022). How did the national team become so visibly non-Irish while nobody’s allowed to notice the demographic shift? When did asking ‘who represents us now?’ become racist? Question everything. 🇮🇪 #Ireland #Demographics #WhoAreWe











Football exposes the contradictions of multiculturalism on a world stage. We're told that people of the Muslim faith are just as English as the rest of us. Yet multiculturalism also encourages to celebrate their own culture and prioritise it above any kind of English one. So we end up with the celebration of England's first ever Muslim player - hooray - only for him to refuse to sing (or even pretend to sing) the country's national anthem. Which is obviously his individual choice. But it's worth asking what exactly we're celebrating when we celebrate Diop Tehuti Djed-Hotep Spence as English. Am I being unfair? Were other (not Muslim) players not singing it either? Perhaps he just finds singing embarrassing?
