⁠"Our planned consultation process was disrupted by incorrect media reports." Ah, yes, of course. www.dw.com/en/fifa-doub...

Historic stuff. Let's see if they follow through. As has been pointed out, the U20 Women's World Cup starts on September 5 featuring: Poland (hosts), England, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain. www.uefa.com/news-media/n...

It is very hard to see how anything other than a secession of all UEFA countries from Fifa (which other confederations would follow, as the WC is worth very little without European teams and markets) can put a stop to the assault Infantino and his US friends are leading on football.

The lads maintain a varied portfolio of commitments across Europe and beyond.

Bitte schön. It’s vital that we document these important cultural happenings.

❗️Bonus! Other non-German (and non-French) stickers - featuring a strong Swiss🇨🇭 contingent: 1 x Winterthur, Sion, Genk, Legia Warsaw 2 x Ajax 4 x Young Boys, Lausanne

Some other remarks: 😕 Disappointing from Regensburg, usually so prolific in the sticker stakes (may have been on holiday with Braunschweig 🤔) ❌ Hansa Rostock notable by their absence. Clearly distracted by takeover of London. 👏🏼 Strong performance from fourth-tier Babelsberg

🏆🏴‍☠️ Congratulations to FC St. Pauli! Miles behind Stuttgart until Marseille, where some prolific stickering around Le Panier saw them mount a stunning comeback. After a disappointing #Bundesliga season, the Kiezkicker delivered where it really matters - on the lampposts and roadsigns of France 👏🏼

Man kann den Amis aber auch dankbar sein. Denn genau so könnte es in Deutschland bzw. Europa auch aussehen. Also wehrt euch. Organisierte Fußballfans sind mächtig. Werdet Mitglied in eurem Verein. Geht zur MV. Bringt euch ein. Unterstützt eure Ultras. Kämpft für 50+1. Damit es nicht so wird.

Dystopian shit, this.

US Soccer, the USMNT and Pochettino also coming out of this terribly. And the French Football Federation should be careful too, regardless of their claim that the Balogun/Olise issues are unrelated. What a pathetic state of affairs.

What Gianni Infantino has to say about the Balogun debacle.

RBFA update: "FIFA itself created an appeal and immediately ensured that it would be declared inadmissible ... Furthermore, during the match coordination meeting, FIFA deliberately removed the section concerning the automatic suspension of players from its presentation." www.rbfa.be/en/news/upda...

And 2018 by Putin and 2022 by an autocratic emirate. But even then (and correct me if I'm wrong), I can't recall such direct political interventions in the actual game itself?

Statement from Belgian FA.

Ronaldo's pre-tournament suspension overturned Messi's stamp vs. Algeria not punished The Iranian team disadvantaged and humiliated Ad breaks fundamentally altering the game And now a host govt lobbying to have red cards rescinded Are we all just going along with this farce?
