🚨🗣️NEW: Thierry Henry on FIFA’s new mouth-covering red card rule: as Almiron was given a red card for covering his mouth in the game between Paraguay and Turkey: “I understand why football wants to fight discrimination. Nobody disagrees with that. But when you start handing out straight red cards because a player covered his mouth while speaking, you’ve crossed into dangerous territory. “This is exactly what I feared football was becoming, a game played by robots, policed by suits who’ve never felt the heat of a tackle or the fire of a 50-50. Miguel Almirón gets sent off for covering his mouth? In a World Cup? FIFA calls it progress. I call it the slow death of the sport we love. Football was built on emotion, confrontation, mind games, personality. Now we’re acting as if every private word exchanged on a pitch is a matter for a courtroom investigation. The game is starting to feel less like football and more like a surveillance project. The Miguel Almirón incident is exactly why people are uncomfortable. We don’t even know what was said, yet the punishment arrives before the evidence. Since when did covering your mouth become a crime worthy of expulsion? If that’s the standard, we’re no longer judging actions—we’re judging suspicion. What worries me most is the precedent. Today it’s covering your mouth. Tomorrow what is it? A sarcastic comment? A heated argument? Football has always been a pressure cooker. If you remove every ounce of fire, don’t be surprised when the sport loses part of its soul. And let’s be honest, would the legends of previous generations survive in this environment? Maradona, Keane, Pepe, half the icons people celebrate today would spend more time explaining themselves to officials than actually playing. The game that once rewarded personality now seems obsessed with policing it. The irony is that football claims to want authenticity, yet it keeps creating rules that encourage players to become robots. Fans don’t fall in love with robots. They fall in love with characters, rivalries, passion and drama. This rule may have been created with good intentions, but good intentions don’t automatically make good rules. Right now, it feels like football is trying to put a lid on a boiling pot instead of understanding why it boils in the first place.”

When you actually pay attention to Barcelona's operations in transfer Windows year after year. It's not a surprise that they can't win the Champions league

I've never seen a manager missuse an Elite player like Deshamps with Dembele
