PGMOL serves as both a university for referees and as their union, while VAR is the technology tasked with correcting bad refereeing decisions. PGMOL operates VAR. Now do you see which acronym is the problem?

The whole structure has to change, there should never be one man with ultimate power. FIFA should be a council of reps from each of the continal FAs with defined max terms. 6 continents, so reinstate rotating world cup hosts and appoint a 7th for 4 years from the next host nation.

More incendiary stuff. Prince Ali, the FA president from Jordan, who was a rival to Infantino in his first election in 2016, alleges FIFA attempted to effectively blackmail theJordanian FA, withholding funds until they had provided backing to Infantino for next year’s election.

Multi club ownership and were just going to sell off left back talent for peanuts... again! The only difference between Hall and Amass is experience, if they truly believe Amass isnt ready, do a loan to Nice and we take Bard as the backups backup for a season.😜

#MUFC are interested in Lewis Hall, albeit with an acknowledgement it would be a very difficult transfer to complete – the view now is that Harry Amass will leave, either on loan or permanently [Simon Stone, BBC]

Shouldnt have watched Skys ManUtd podcast. Bad takes, u-turns and somehow Patrick Dorgu excluded from depth at left back and left wing really grates. Only thing I agreed with is Danyal Kahn suggesting consolidation being the target, CL next season is crucial but then Ive banged that drum a while.

The UK was treading water at a pop under 60M, but since exceeding that in the mid 00s, demand constantly exceeds capacity. You wouldnt place a child with a homeless family that rejects doctors and education, so how in the hell can you believe it safe to adopt refugees while those sytems fail? 1/2

Very disappointing from the new Prime Minister, very much sounding like the previous PM. These are among the world’s most vulnerable and desparate people. They need safe routes and humanity from responsible politicians, not grandstanding. This isn’t doing politics differently.

Burnham pledges to be "relentless" in curbing small boat crossings

The World Cup without UEFA means no Mbappe, no Bellingham, no Haaland, no Olise, no Yamal It means no England, France, Spain, Germany, Belgium It means no Zidane, Tuchel, Klopp The World Cup this year without Europe would have just been Argentina & Egypt in the final 8 UEFA must hold firm

There is no longer any choice. We have to see a full UEFA withdrawal from FIFA. Private investment has absolutely no place in an organising body which has a moral duty to both remain neutral and be fully accountable. Infantino is a blight on the game and completely unfit for the role.

World Cup: Uefa furious at Fifa plan for private investment in tournament

European football's governing body Uefa reacts furiously to proposals from Fifa to seek private investment in its competitions, including the World Cup.

Next time someone looks at global waming stats can they please check if its caused an exponential rise in heatstroke cases. Its the best I can come up with to explain some of the transfer opinions of the last 24 hrs. 😂😂😂

Finisheed watching the friendly - was a good run out for pre-season. Thought JZ started slow but grew into it, Yoro showing his versatility, Mount stepping up in Brunos absence (hard to judge how much given the opposition). But the academy guys all looked really sharp again.

"Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca is considering a transfer swoop for Chelsea winger Pedro Neto this summer, amid ongoing uncertainty around his future at Stamford Bridge - Daily Fail" Its 6 days since I called this one. I dont know what Ineos are smoking but a drug test might be an idea.🤣

It would be incredibly bold, but now the cats well and truly out the bag... They should go back in and see if its possible to tease Neto or even Estevao away for reasonable money too because with Rogers, Chelsea are hugely overstocked on widemen even after finding a sucker to take Garnacho.
