Has there ever been a more beautiful goal in football history? 😍 Brazil 🇧🇷 vs 🇮🇹 Italy (1970)

The previous World Cup might well be the last any of us really care about.
Peter Moore@PeterMooreUSA
This has been weighing heavily on me, and I can’t stay quiet about it any longer. I am 71 years old. I’ve been fortunate enough to attend five World Cups, starting in 1986. Those tournaments weren’t just events to me, they were life chapters. They were about connection, about culture, about standing shoulder to shoulder with people from every corner of the world, united by the game we love. But what I’m seeing now breaks my heart. The current dynamic pricing strategy for the upcoming World Cup feels completely detached from the very soul of football. Yes, this tournament is being played mostly in the United States, and yes, it’s a premium market. But football was never meant to be a luxury product reserved for the highest bidder. It belongs to the people. Always has. I looked back fondly at USA 94 and everything we did then to fill stadiums and bring the game to life for Americans who were just dipping their toes into the water of the beautiful game. Right now, it feels like the average, passionate supporter, the ones who save for years, who travel across continents, who bring the color, the noise, the spirit, are being pushed out. Replaced by a model that prioritizes revenue over reality. That’s a dangerous road because once you lose the authentic fan, you lose the essence of what makes the World Cup special. I say this not just as a fan, but as someone who has spent a lifetime in and around the game. During my time at EA SPORTS, we stood shoulder to shoulder with FIFA when they needed it most. Our game kept millions of fans connected to football and to the World Cup when trust in the organization was at its lowest. We helped carry the flame. Which is why this moment feels even more disappointing. This may well be one of the last World Cups I have the chance to attend and I find myself wondering if the game I’ve loved all my life is slowly drifting away from people like me, and far more importantly, from the next generation who deserve to feel what I felt in 1986. The World Cup should unite the world. Not divide it by price. Football deserves better. And so do the fans. Come on @FIFAcom , sort this out… It’s not too late.

“He got given the moral high ground in a real estate deal. He didn’t even have to bid for it is how great a dealmaker he is. He just said I want that, the moral high ground, and the previous owner said ‘of course, sir. It’s yours. God wants you to have it’. So, yes …insulting”
Molly Ploofkins@Mollyploofkins
Q: How can the president claim that America can ever have the moral high ground if he's threatening to destroy civilizations? Leavitt: The president absolutely has the moral high ground… for you to even suggest otherwise is, frankly, insulting.

It’s a mad irony that a country founded on a Constitutional bill of rights designed to ensure personal freedoms for all and address the fear of tyrannical leadership couldn’t foresee a dictatorial figurehead like Trump. And now, because of those same fears, is powerless to act.

Up.
Face like Boris Johnson* skydiving without a parachute. Hair like a line of sutures stitched by a junk-high RFK Jr. Voice like only sane one in Donald Trump’s head barricading the door to the mouth against 4999 insane ones all yelling “Do it”
Morning.

It seems an inevitability that Trump will use a nuclear weapon. Only uncertain thing is when, and what the consequences will be. No-one around him seems to care enough to prevent it.
