I’d much rather watch Messi lift that World Cup than the king/president/ ceo/chairman/director of football/manager of PSG ‘superstar’ Mbappe He's also won it before and has plenty of chances to win it again. I think most people would prefer to see Messi win it tbh, it kinda feels like his 1986 Maradona moment (albeit without the cheating). |

Mad that Alexis Mac Allister's name is the closest Scotland will ever get to a World Cup final. Are you suggesting that Scotland's brave Andy Robertson isn't leading us to World Cup glory in North America in 2026??? LMAO you don't know Football, dude. Edit: I honestly tried to write socc er, for the japes. But ... yay, forum banned words lists? He's actually of Irish descent. They must have just bollocksed the name when they got there. His family is from down the road from me. So the name isn't even really Scottish is what I'm saying 🙃 |

I'd put my house on Messi being injured for the final. Pull a [Brazillian] Ronaldo |

If only FIFA has threatened him with a booking, he might have thought twice

Good grief, the sooner Iran overthrows the arseholes in charge the better.

Hopefully it’ll shine some light on the mass executions planned after the protests that the media are being strangely silent about.

I'm guessing he probably couldn't have applied for asylum in Qatar. :/ It's so rough. I'm not confident about meaningful change in Iran anytime soon, but wondering has to give eventually. Right?  |

Nothing like a good (potentially mass) execution story to start the day...
But seriously, that's some terrible news. Wonder if there's any way he can escape now that it's known. Would anyone risk starting shit with Iran to grant asylum?

But speaking of Morocco, do we actually think they can induce tears three times in a row? Because I've been proven wrong before, but I really don't know this time... This one feels beyond even my powers of jinxing  |

Infantino probably thinks that 6,500 died building the stadia and everyone has managed to swallow down their abhorrence and watch, so what fucking difference does one more make.

He’d be broadly right too. Aside from Amnesty donating Guardian readers no one will give a shit. They haven’t so far so why would they? Keep politics out of sport, right?

Don't think he was at the world cup. A google says he has never played for Iran and last played football in 2018. Disgusting and ridiculous stuff though. |

Football took itself off to a place where they killed thousands to provide the all-important fun and whitewashing, and after a brief whine, fans the world over have thoroughly wallowed in it. No good pointing the finger at Iran for a harsh regime now.
Three lions on the shirt,
One soon dead footballer,
30 years of hurt,
For the uncompensated families of the dead workers but who cares theeeeey're from south-east Asia

I heard someone on a history podcast ackshullying Three Lions because apparently in livery the creatures on the crest aren’t lions they’re leopards or ligers (I forget which)
It doesn’t help the lyrics scan

Leopards, certainly not ligers as they don't exist naturally.
