The president of the Norwegian football association has called for the abolition of the FIFA Peace Prize, which was awarded to U.S. president Donald Trump, and says she supports an ethics complaint against Gianni Infantino, the president of world football’s governing body. Lise Klaveness, who will represent her federation at the FIFA Congress on Thursday and is on the UEFA executive committee, said the organisation should maintain “an arm’s length distance” from world leaders. Trump was given the Peace Prize by Infantino at the draw for this summer’s World Cup in Washington D.C. on December 6. The prize was announced by FIFA in November — without prior approval from its board, the FIFA Council — in order “to reward individuals who have taken exceptional and extraordinary actions for peace and by doing so have united people across the world”. Klaveness believes that FIFA, which is supposed to remain politically neutral, does not have the “mandate” nor resources to give out a Peace Prize. More from @PJBuckingham 🔗 nyti.ms/4sZMhd1

The York City players still going well over 24 hours after the final whistle, with some players still fully kitted out is absolutely sensational. #ycfc

WHAT HAVE WE JUST WITNESSED? 🤯 Sabastian Sawe has just become the first person in history to run a sub two-hour marathon in race conditions. Yomif Kejelcha was also under two hours for second!

You couldn’t write this!! It’s the whole Kinetic setup!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 They’re not even hiding this!

Chelsea’s tailspin is not Liam Rosenior’s fault, even if he did make mistakes. Instead, blame BlueCo - the self-styled football disruptors who have constructed a monument to their own hubris in west London. 📝 @OliverKay bit.ly/48iIsbu

Andy Jacobs: "Levi Colwill got injured on the first day of pre-season and Enzo Maresca begged the board to give him a ball playing centre-half. So, they went out and spent £90million on Jamie Gittens and Alejandro Garnacho — that's how useless these people are." (@talkSPORT)

The Sporting Directors need to go, immediately. This isn’t reactionary, it’s the result of years of poor decisions. I don’t usually call for people to lose their jobs, but this has been building for too long.

Until these 3 go, nothing changes. You can chop and change the players, the manager, everything. These 3 are the problem.

How does Gabriel do this every week? That's a straight red after about 5 yellow card offenses so far this game. It's a fucking joke

Estevao injured. Why can’t we ever have anything nice ffs

VAR is an embarrassment. Just get rid
