Hate us for it if you want, but the U.S. did what was necessary for Folarin Balogun’s return
It’s hard to believe other countries in the tournament wouldn’t have done exactly what the Americans did here.

I thought it'd be a swell idea to create a starter pack of journalists who specialise in throwing light on the dark(er) side of football. It's small for two reasons: there aren't many of us; and I've probably forgotten plenty of excellent people. Thank you for suggesting additions in replies.

Starbucks done EFFED up in Korea. Bad. May 18th just passed, Democratic Movement Day, when rose up after the military dictatorship sent tanks to mass-murder citizens. Some inappropriately call it "Tank Day." Starbucks commemorated Tank Day with a sale on tank tumblers. It gets much worse...
A Starbucks add that says 5/18: Tank Day! Slam it on your desk! And features a selection of coffee tumblers.

We've had enough. The press is one of the last guardrails against Gianni Infantino's autocracy. But Fifa does all it can to crush the media and prevent us from doing our work. An editorial from @josimarfootball.bsky.social. And please support us if you can.

The press remains one of the last checks on Fifa’s power. Gianni Infantino and his media office are cracking down on it.

"HERE WE GO!": the lowdown on "football journalist" Fabrizio Romano
The Italian "influencer" who has never worked as a real journalist, has 100m+ followers on social media and leverages them for cash. This is a tale about modern sports media

Maybe it’s because I’m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: ‘your leaders aren’t right for you,’ ‘we’re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own good’

The idea that journalists, politicians, groups or - you know, women, people of colour, LGBTQ+ people - should "stay on the pitch" doesn't really hold up. Foreign Minister's account has 60k followers - 40 likes, 13k views? Blue ticks straight to the top of the queue with misogyny, bile.

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Just so we know it's his brainchild, Gianni Infantino's name appears not once but twice on the newly minted Club World Cup trophy. But there's no guarantee his legacy defining project will be a success. Story on the financial fuzziness underpinning the Club World Cup: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/26/b...

FIFA President’s Bet on Club World Cup Meets Reality
Gianni Infantino has tied his legacy to the 32-team tournament, even inscribing his name on the trophy. Its success is far from guaranteed.

Sport may be a blunt tool of social change, but it’s time to take a stand against Israel | Jonathan Liew
As the bombardment continues in Gaza, bodies such as Fifa and the IOC have evaded taking a stand. But fans’ solidarity with Palestinians is growing and should not be ignored
