The Iranian team is playing their asses off despite dealing with BS U.S. security protocols that give their opponents a competitive advantage. Hats off to those athletes for performing the way they are under unnecessary mental and physical stress.

Cape Verde went to war with Spain and Uruguay in their first World Cup nobody will ever forget that

Por histórias como a de Curaçao e a de Cabo Verde que eu falo que o futebol de seleções é o último refúgio do futebol para as massas, já que o futebol de clubes foi arruinado pelos ricos.

There has been rightful focus on the US for this, but the Toronto Star reports that 73% of Ghanaian fan tourist visa requests to come to the World Cup have been denied by Canada.

@_Zeets For accuracy purposes, there are actually three players playing their sixth WC.

ESPN is being so sassy

By the way, isn’t it interesting how all these football journalists suddenly found a way to ask “political” questions when speaking to Iranian players? I don’t remember seeing the same energy with American or Israeli players.

Emphatic ditto!

Hermoso, heroico, conmovedor, extraordinario lo del debutante Cabo Verde. Defendió con tanta dignidad que hizo un solo foul contra 10 de España. Qué lindo es es futbol. #Mundial2026

Cabo Verde acaba de escribir una de esas hazañas que en un par de años será un documental. El mundo esperaba una goleada pero el fútbol vuelve a destruir los prejuicios: en este Mundial no sobra nadie.

Asi, tal cual...

Spain is ranked #3 by FIFA. Cabo Verde is ranked #64. Vozinha has a clean sheet against arguably some of most prolific attackers in football. Let the chaos reign!

Cabo Verde's goalkeeper Josimar José Évora Dias (aka Vozinha) is 40-years-old. He has been immense. Battling Spanish attacks like this is incredible, and historic.

There’s been more stories about what the game means to people around now than most of the World Cups before. We can’t keep talking only about France, Germany, and Argentina. It just gets so tiring seeing certain people determine that the game belongs to them and them only.

Every World Cup, it feels like Germany picks one country that they want to humiliate

💯 Pinche Infantino

Hay derrotas que engrandecen. Haití cayó, pero ganó el respeto de los amantes del fútbol. Qué actuación tan digna.

Qué fácil era ver fútbol antes. Prendías la televisión y ya. Ahora tienes que descargar aplicaciones, crear cuentas, ver anuncios y aguantar plataformas que fallan cuando más las necesitas. Un retroceso disfrazado de avance.

Does Brazil think it’s playing a different version of Morocco?

What's most infuriating about the Musk trillionaire shit is that his enterprise is built almost exclusively on gov contracts. It's not just that he's expropriating our wealth in an abstract way -- his fortune is built on the tax dollars we pay, that he then obtains through graft.
