UEFA has given FIFA President Gianni Infantino an ultimatum: resign or face a no-confidence vote, The Telegraph reports . It says all 55 members would back it. Only 43 votes are needed.

The DOJ’s entire motion reads as “look at us, we were innocent little babies who couldn’t have known otherwise, it’s all someone else’s fault.”

Watching my first friendly as a soccer noob: an encore of the Chelsea and Western Sydney Wanderers game. Really annoyed that Chelsea doesn't have names on the backs of their jerseys, just the numbers.

The World Cup trophy needs a redesign.

Football floppers are too dramatic for their own good. Scuff a guy's shoe and he's on the floor making the Ivan the Terrible & his Son face. Pro wrestlers bump more convincingly.

There's a couple of guys on the Argentina team that remind me of the worst bits of Sammy Guevara. Because everything reminds me of wrestling, apparently.

That halftime show certainly was.

Bring back the Muppet Band. Bieber is a snoozefest.

Yet another Kalshi offering that serves no legitimate economic purpose. It's not possible to make a rational bet on this without material non-public information. It's a market solely for fraud by both regulators and corporate insiders, and everyone connected to it in any way should go to prison.
