Seattleite in Los Angeles I work in soccer data and also sometimes do local (LA) politics he/him

While many of you are likely yelling "GO ENGLAND!" or "GO ARGENTINA!" I'm yelling "GO ISMAIL ELFATH and the rule of law!"

I am hearing that on his deathbed Lindsey Graham received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!

Trump has thrown the karmic balance out of whack. The only remedy is to insert a being of pure goodness and light into the XI: a footballer so ethically immaculate that he bends the universe back toward justice. An apostle of the beautiful game. Someone the Soccer Gods simply cannot root against.

my only real opinion on this whole fifa mess is that the world cup should be called the soccer cup since they play soccer. that’s the only thing i would change

First Cristiano Ronaldo, now Folarin Balogun. When a Somali referee can't get in the country it's "unfortunate" but we should "chill and relax". No qualms with the Iranian team being ferried across the border as soon as possible. Brazen and shameful

Folarin Balogun will be available to play the USMNT’s round of 16 match against Belgium, with his one-game red-card ban that he received against Bosnia and Herzegovina suspended.
