FIFA-Chef Infantino plant den Verkauf von bis zu 20 % der WM-Anteile an private Investoren – angeführt von Thrive Capital, der Firma von Joshua Kushner, Bruder von Jared Kushner, dem Schwiegersohn von Donald Trump. DFB-Präsident Neuendorf spricht von einem „fatalen Zeichen", Vize Watzke sieht „eine Grenze überschritten". #FAZ (€)
"Was bleibt ... noch von der Hoffnung auf eine emanzipatorische Entwicklung des Fußballs, auf eine Demokratisierung des Sports? Eigentlich nur die Erinnerung: Es gab Zeiten, als FIFA, UEFA und DFB noch keine Monopolisten waren. Es gab einmal eine von Millionen getragene Arbeiterfußballbewegung..."
Martin Kraus in den Blättern zu Infantinos Imperium - Ich weiß, viel Fußball-Nostalgie, aber trotzdem
Die #FIFA hat nicht einfach nur sich an einen faschistischen Diktator verkauft, sie verkauft auch den Fußball. Die USA nehmen als Ausrichter unmittelbar Einfluss auf das Turnier und benachteiligen einzelne Teilnehmer.
Nichts davon überrascht, aber ich finde es trotzdem wichtig, immer wieder aufzuzeigen, wie sehr die Geldgier gute Dinge zerstört, eine fairen und sicheren Sport, Gemeinschaft, Zusa…

So the players blew him off, then a FIFA lackey ran across the stage to try to drag him out of frame, grabbed Fat Loser's arm & got shaken off.
Then he desperately gestured for Trump to leave & of course he wouldn't. I would pay someone $1000 to just once push this douchebag out of the way.

#Fifa president Gianni Infantino's position came under further scrutiny on Friday as the governing body's chief operating officer strongly criticised his plan to sell stakes in competitions to private investors.
In a statement released to the Associated Press, Kevin Lamour described the controversial plans as "the project of one person" and said "the time has now come …

European nations agreed Thursday to boycott the World Cup and all other #FIFA competitions to protest Gianni Infantino’s plan to sell stakes in soccer’s biggest tournament to private equity investors. The North American soccer body rejected his plan later the same day.

Amongst the many overt protests, there are a few subtle USA protests happening in Canada... and there is one subtle one in particular, or at least it feels that way, at its most important and influential fast food chain.
Tim Hortons.
Have you noticed?
Have you seen the commemorative timbits, the buckets and cups?
There are flags for Team Canada, Mexico, Italy, France, Brazil….
no USA flags. none..
It makes me smile.
The Tim Hortons corporation may not be a fully “Canadian” company (RBI is headquartered in Toronto and Florida, and 1/3 owned by Brazil's 3G), but they are "on the ball" enough to understand the Canadian zeitgeist.
USA? You don't exist.

Good decision. Football shouldn't be a vehicle for channelling hundreds of millions into FIFA executives' pockets.

Die Optionen gegen FIFAs Macht laut Martin Krauss in den Blättern: 1) Staatsanwälte (chancenlos). 2) Die UNO (überfordert). 3) Super-League-Aufstand der Topclubs. 4) Die Erinnerung an eine von Millionen getragene Arbeiterfußballbewegung. Option 4 ist die schönste — und leider auch die theoretischste. #FIFA #Fußball

Before today's match, good preview/interview with Canada Coach Jesse Marsch. Talks about the team, about him as an American (and “51st state”), about luck and superstition and winning.
“I'm honoured to be their coach for this country”

super fun day. even with the unfortunate loss of Colombia. The Plaza crowd erupted on Colombias last penalty goal, and then fell silent with a few Swiss fans cheering. 😢
If Colombia had won the whole city would have been partying. The number of yellow shirts and jerseys was crazy!!

so I mean, everyone wishes that a host nation of a World Cup wins the World Cup, right?
But barring that I think the situation we have now is perfect.
Canada fought hard, left some blood on the field like a good hockey player, and did better than they've ever done before by a wide margin.
Mexico played one of the best games possibly in the history of football, in without question the best stadium in all of football and can go home proud even as much as it hurt.
And the USA was an absolute disgrace not really because of their players, but because of their President and FIFA.
Really I'd say it worked out extremely well.
Now GO SPAIN. 😆
