BREAKING: UEFA declares loss of confidence in FIFA president Gianni Infantino. Statement talks of "shabby, back-room deal".

Statement attributable to the FIFA President The FIFA Forward Enterprise project was intended to provide a basis for further strengthening our FIFA Member Associations and our sport worldwide, especially in those countries where support is most needed. And more so, as we said from the outset, to do this only if a majority of the FIFA Member Associations were in support and always subject to a consultation process with them, the FIFA Council, the Confederations and wider stakeholders. Having listened carefully to all the views, it has become clear that the project has created divisions of a nature that, regardless of the level of support, are no longer in the interest of the objective set out in the first place. Our purpose has always been - and will always be - to unite and improve. As a result, this proposal will not proceed. Moving forward, my intent is to bring all interested parties back together in the coming days and weeks in the spirit of shared interest in our game, and with the objective to continue growing football everywhere, particularly in those countries that mostly need our support.

Amazing. Georgia Hunter Bell produces a tactical masterclass to claim the Commonwealth 800m gold medal. Controlled the pace from around 250m onwards and her kick was unstoppable. Clocks 1:59.51 and Lilian Odira, who beat GHB to world gold in Tokyo, placed second in 2:00.58!

This is why 8 of the 10 most valuable sports franchises in the world exist in the U.S. even though the fan base for soccer is 5x the size. The proposal is clumsy at best, and if that were the reason it was being killed that'd be enough. But the prevailing attitude here seems to be "soccer is not for sale" - even though UEFA makes over $2b on the Euro cup. The statement from UEFA comes off as if they are almost offended that someone wants to inject more money into the game from concessions and marketing agreements while leaving the governing up to the federations.

Screaming 🤣🤣🤣

Jess Hull steps up the distance and makes yet another major podium ‼️ Biding her time behind Megan Keith for a lot of the 5000m, Hull kicked hard on the final lap to claim silver with 14:45.01 🇦🇺 The Olympic 1500m silver and world bronze medallist also placed second in her mile heat this morning 🤯
