Red cards are not overturned by political phone calls. They are overturned by rules, evidence and independent bodies. If a U.S. President intervenes with the FIFA President — and a player is suddenly cleared before a World Cup knockout match — the question is unavoidable: Quo vadis, FIFA? Football must never become a playground for political power. #FIFA #WorldCup #GianniInfantino #DonaldTrump

Congratulations to Morocco on a superb 3–0 win over Canada and a well-deserved place in the World Cup quarter-finals. A brilliant performance, full of quality and confidence. Respect also to Canada for a magnificent tournament and the spirit they showed throughout. Football at its best. #WorldCup #Morocco #Canada #FIFAWorldCup

Lionel Messi. A phenomenon. 18 World Cup goals. A world record. I take my hat off to him. Congratulations. And good luck for the rest of the tournament. #Argentina #LionelMessi #AFA #CONEMBOL

A FIFA World Cup host country must guarantee two fundamental principles: the safety of the country — and the unrestricted entry of all qualified teams, officials and referees. The case of referee Omar Artan from Somalia is against one of these obligations. FIFA must never compromise the universality of football. #Fifa #Somalia #GianniInfantino #CAF #OmarAtan #DonaldTrump

Congratulations, dear Roy Hodgson, on finishing your Bristol City chapter with a victory — and with the same class, dignity and football wisdom that have defined your remarkable career. 44 years after your first spell there, to leave Ashton Gate with a win feels beautifully fitting. But knowing you, I still hope this was not your last game on the touchline — after all, 78 is still very young when the heart beats for football. With friendship and admiration, Sepp #BristolCity #FA #FootballFamily #RoyHodgson #England #royhodgson #ashtongate

When the game stays silent in the face of #injustice, it loses its #credibility. It’s time for real accountability—and #justice for #Palestinian football. The FIFA-Congress in Vancouver will be a good opportunity. #Fifa #AFC #PalestineFootball #Uefa #IsraelFootball

«Pour les fans, je n'ai qu'un seul conseil : restez loin des États-Unis !», déclare Mark Pieth. Je pense qu'il a raison de remettre en question cette Coupe du monde. #MarkPieth #GianniInfantino #DonaldTrump #FIFAWorldCup2026 #USA

"For the fans, there's only one piece of advice: stay away from the USA!” I think Mark Pieth is right to question this World Cup. #MarkPieth #GianniInfantino #DonaldTrump #FIFAWorldCup2026 #USA

Der Heilige Vater war nicht nur ein Freund der Menschen und eine beeindruckende Persönlichkeit. Er auch ein Fussball-Kenner. Es war eine grosse Ehre, ihn persönlich im Vatikan zu treffen. Ruhe in Frieden. In unseren Herzen und Erinnerungen lebst Du weiter. #papstfranziskus
