Sensational stuff by Rémi Dupré: Congo should *not* have either played the WC play-offs or in the WC itself after repeatedly fielding an ineligible player; but Gianni Infantino made sure Fifa ignored the recommendations of its own legal team and did not sanction the Congolese.

Comment la FIFA a contourné son règlement pour favoriser la qualification de la République démocratique du Congo à la Coupe du monde 2026
Selon des documents internes dont « Le Monde » a pris connaissance, l’instance présidée par Gianni Infantino n’a appliqué aucune sanction après l’alignement d’un joueur congolais inéligible lors de pl...

The ongoing corruption of the World Cup by Gianni Infantino (aged 56 1/4)
Morning all. England’s World Cup warm-up continued last night with a game against Costa Rica which saw Declan Rice open the scoring [video], and Noni Madueke go full Noni Madueke. They eventually won 3-0, with Eberechi Eze and Bukayo Saka appearing in the second half. It’s sort of mad to think the World Cup kicks […] The post The ongoing corruption of the World Cup by Gianni Infantino (aged 56 1/4) appeared first on Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Get a load of this. 😆
A post from ViperThreat: 

Worked as an on-call computer tech for about a year, and I've seen some weird shit. Plenty of Hoarders, elderly men with interesting sexual fantasies, Multimillonaire Lawyers with closets full of gay porn, etc.
The weirdest one was this cool old dude who had retired and lived in a double-wide trailer in a fairly nice retirement trailer park. His house had one of those trains that traveled along the walls from room to room, occasionally poking through walls and such. The primary purpose of this train was to carry his bird (a blue macaw IIRC) around the house.
From his explanation, the bird had some birth defects and had difficulty flying, so they built the train for the bird to cruise around the house on.
This may not sound all that weird to you, but let me set the stage for you:
You're a college student removing a stupid browser hijack from some old guy's computer. You're nearly done with the job when you hear a clacking sound and look up to see a toy train crossing your vision. Aboard the train is a decently sized bird that makes eye contact with you and says "choo choo motherfucker" before disappearing into the next room.
One of the most surreal moments of my life.

Sky News is platforming a guy who says he's from a Jewish Aston Villa supporters group, but it turns out that the guy a) isn't Jewish, b) the group doesn't exist, and c) he works for the right wing Henry Jackson Society, whose website says he 'specialises in disinformation'. Well, quite.
A tweet from Sky News reading 'Aston Villa fan Andrew Fox says he has received online abuse and even death threats following the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from the match in Birmingham.' A follow up tweet says 'This is a correction of a previous post that incorrectly identified Mr Fox as Jewish'.A page from the Henry Jackson Society website for Andrew Fox, Research Fellow, which says he joined HJS in 2014 and that 'Andrew specialises in Defence, the Middle East, and disinformation'.

So many things that have been introduced to football of late have made it less fun. The Lewis-Skelly/getting huffy over celebrations thing being the latest. It’s supposed to be fun. Stop making football less fun. www.nytimes.com/athletic/611...

Stop making football less fun. Please
Football is meant to be fun. As minor as it seems, solemnly tutting at or punishing a player for mocking in celebrations, chips away at that

Is there a conspiracy against #AFC? It is doubtful. But recent refereeing decisions & the reactions to them feel like the endpoint when you task people with solving issues football has never & will never solve. And then tell fans they’re wrong to think what they think. @cdeccleshare.bsky.social

Is there a conspiracy against Arsenal? Probably not – but the feeling is real
VAR, PGMOL statements and former referees' comments in the media can often enflame the discussion over refereeing decisions and anger fans

5Live experts on Lewis-Skelly red card: Pat Nevin: “a bar so low even a limbo dancing snake couldn’t get under it…” Mark Chapman: “baffling and nonsensical from supposedly one of our best referees.” I don't think anyone except VAR or Michael Oliver thought that was a red.
