Chris Schilling@schillingc.bsky.social · yesterdayBelatedly caught up with this (the other Firezide Chats are well worth checking out, btw) and man, it's impressive how Kirk gets his interviewees to really open up. That's not as easy as you might think; there's an art to it.
I get the feeling that Infantino has reached a level of Despot Delulu where he'll have to be dragged out kicking and screaming. This man is not resigning with grace or dignity

Remembering the halycon days of Sepp Blatter being in charge of FIFA 🌈✨😊
Hard agree with this. Writing was on the wall (probably as far back as that BS Peace Award for the old 'Swollen Boot', but most definitely) for the Balogun red card debacle. Corruption seeps through every pore it feels and UEFA needs to separate itself from the stench.

Ok so they actually DO have that many police helicopters flying around in LA, huh
I used to think “it’s a shame Messi is brought down by the behaviour of his teammates” but after seeing him diving, trying to get Cucurella sent off and putting in some fairly dodgy tackles himself, it’s a reminder he’s an active participant in all this too
Argentinians resorted to thuggery once the whistle had gone too, awful team
Emma Kent@goneefk.bsky.social · 2w agoReally love how Argentina became a victim of their own disgusting foul play, it’s what they deserve
