@TheAthleticFC As an America with a family of 4, I have been priced out of my own countries world cup. I wanted to take my kids to make memories, but to see the USA play on my wifes birthday, would cost us, in tickets alone, $10k. I’ll take my family to Europe to the next one for half that.

“Hard not to feel scammed.” By now, the word is out - World Cup tickets are eye-wateringly expensive. But some buyers have noticed an extra sting. Despite purchasing Category 1 tickets, a redrawing of multiple stadium seating maps has led to confusion and frustration that they didn't get what they paid for. @HenryBushnell investigates ⤵️ 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/71756…

@aseelswaid9 @FabrizioRomano Ok, but what about the Moroccan players behavior throughout the entire tournament? Stealing towels, interfereing with players etc that upholds the sanctity of the tournament as well? Come on.

This is not just a title written into the records, but a decision with a clear meaning: chaos, withdrawal, or tampering with the spirit of the match cannot be a path to glory. Morocco were not pushed onto the podium as a courtesy, nor were they handed the trophy as a gift. They emerged from this situation as the side that upheld its presence and its right, while the other side failed the test of discipline and responsibility. CAF’s decision did not simply change the result of a match — it redrew the entire picture: 3–0 officially, and Morocco are African champions. At that point, the discussion is no longer about controversy, but about a reality confirmed by a clear continental ruling that puts an end to all the noise that tried to overshadow the core of the matter. In the end, major titles are not decided only on the pitch, but also through respect for the laws of the game and the prestige of the competition. And today, Morocco did not just win the trophy — they also won a moment that proves discipline and composure can sometimes be more decisive than ninety minutes.

🚨🇲🇦 BREAKING: Morocco have been announced as AFCON winners with final result overturned by CAF. Senegal have been declared to have forfeited the match with Morocco declared 3-0 winners by official statement. CAF statement tonight. ⤵️🇲🇦

@MikelaWacho @theawayfans You realize that when people retire they still like to have a purpose, and for a guy that got paid to play a game, running a coffee shop brings him peace. Heaven forbid people have multiple careers. Rio Ferdinand still works. Cantona works. Henry still works. Its normal.

Sorry for saying this, but i think this is embarrassing for the clubs he played for. You go from scoring goals at Elland Road to cleaning espresso machines? If he didn't make enough money to never work again, his agent failed him. If he did make the money and chooses to do this, he’s just mocking the working class. This isn't fulfillment, it's a mid-life crisis.

Mark Viduka, now 50. A Premier League cult hero who played for Dinamo Zagreb, Celtic, Leeds United, Middlesbrough and Newcastle United. These days, Viduka lives a quiet life in Zagreb, Croatia, where he runs a coffee shop 👏

@MUFCScoop Anyone with eyes could see that was a clear and obvious error.

🚨 Lisandro Martinez's goal for Manchester United against Burnley earlier this month should not have been ruled out by referee Stuart Attwell, the Premier League's Key Match Incidents (KMI) Panel has said. The panel felt that "the contact was exaggerated by Walker and the decision to disallow the goal for a foul was incorrect" "The decision not to intervene by VAR was split but supported on the basis it wasn't a clear and obvious error."

@TheElitePundit You live in the future.

The Utd 25/26 script. After a disaster window. Utd will start the season poorly Amorim will of course get sacked. With the pressure high. Some idiot at INEOS will remember how nostalgic fans were when Rudd was hired. With no budget for a big manager? Welcome Michael Carrick

@mark_robinson_ Probably gonna happen when you havent played more that 10 minutes in any one match for the last 2 months.

Just a quick word on Kobbie Mainoo’s performance when he came on. Shit. #BURMUN #PremierLeague #MUFC #ManUtd

@GrageDustin Hey, lets for a second take a step back and say “does the agent need to fire the weapon?” He clearly is able to get out of the way, as he did in the video. Second, he’s point blank, he could have fired rounds through the hood to stop the vehicle. She didn’t need to die. Choices.

This is so obviously self-defense. 1) Agent is directly in front of the car. 2) Driver does not comply. 3) Accelerates abruptly. 4) Agent responds accordingly. Case closed.

@trentamore Feels more like moving away from Salah as the focal point of attack is more the issue than trents ability to play a ball well. Also, team plays way better with robo in LB than Kerkez and 2 strikers and a CAM fundamentally changes how every game is played & the lack of chemistry

trent alexander-arnold made slot look like a master technician 😭

Since august 30th 2025, @Groupon has sent me a staggering 250 emails. W. T. F. 😳

@gyonlineng @DeadlineDayLive @trivela @grok Yo @grok who is the best fit for Ruben Amorim’s system at manchester United to fill needed positions?

@DeadlineDayLive @trivela Yo @grok How good is the player to Amorim system and also his profile as player including data

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Manchester United are now in ADVANCED negotiations with Wolves over a January move for João Gomes, with the deal expected to total around £44 million. Talks between the two clubs have significantly progressed in recent days. (Source: @trivela)

@KimDragovich @minakimes @LauraRutledge What is wrong with the outfits and how do they interfere with the ability to do the job?

@minakimes @LauraRutledge I didn’t think it was appropriate dress. She should’ve known better and ESPN should side liner for a while.

@UrbanExplorer00 @jakewthomas21 @TheAthleticFC Its higher because FIFA is doing what FIA did with F1 — they have this idea that American capitalism will sell out their venues and make them rich. Just because prices start lower in Canada doesnt mean anything. Canada literally said they would be buying tickets to resell.

@jakewthomas21 @TheAthleticFC I'm not defending FIFA at all but the American tickets are higher than Canadian which is similar economically due to the resale market being lawless.

FIFA will charge both sellers and buyers a 15 per cent fee on its official 2026 World Cup ticket resale platform, which launched on Thursday and almost immediately had some tickets listed for tens of thousands of dollars. Many prices were several times, or even more than 10 times higher, than those paid on the primary market on Wednesday. For the 2026 tournament, adapting to the relatively unregulated secondary market in the United States and Canada, FIFA chose not to cap resale prices — because, an official argued last month, if FIFA did cap prices, it could not stop sellers from going to third-party sites like StubHub to fetch more money. In Mexico, where ticket resale laws are stricter and the government lobbied for a cap, FIFA agreed to limit prices to face value on a “ticket exchange” platform. @HenryBushnell and @AdamCrafton_ have the full story ⬇️ 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/66859…

@TheAthleticFC Ruining football. For $5k for 4 tickets, just tickets, I can fly to another country and watch a world cup. Im being priced out of my own country by greed.

@OceansidePD what happened in the area of North River in the afternoon on september 2nd? 2 sets of investigators taking pictures on vandergrift and 4 more units and fire trucks + ambulance? Around 2-3:30pm.

@UtdKobi No way casemiro starts, besides, he is a GREAT player to bring on in the last 20 minutes. Use all of his legs and let his winning mentality aggressively attack Arsenal’s defense.

This against Arsenal?

@DeadlineDayLive Languid.

🚨 One word to describe Florian Wirtz's Premier League debut?
