🇺🇸 Messi was in Miami despite being nominated for the Ballon d'Or trophy in London.
Harry Kane took home the golden ball.
Meh, Messi’s already won it 8 times. Dude’s got more hardware than a Home Depot.

تخيل أن تدفع 10 ملايين من أجل تصويت هامشي لا قيمة له ولا فائدة منه! 😳
تخيل ان مورغان وشقيقه رونالدو دفعا 600 ألف يورو كذلك
ثم يخرج لك أحد الأغبياء ليقول إن الجائزة صوت عليها عشاق كرة القدم! 😂😂
لكن لا غرابة !! فمن دفع الملايين لشراء حسابات لمهاجمة ميسي خلال المونديال ، ومن يشتري الأصوات كل عام في غلوب سوكر، لن يعجزه إنفاق المزيد في محاولة لتحسين صورة مشوّهة..
لكن مهما أنفقت أنت وحاشيتك من الملايين، فلن تشتري احترام الناس، ولن تحوّل الصورة المزيّفة إلى حقيقة! 🤷🏻♂️

🇮🇷🇸🇦 Prof. Marandi: Another war with Iran could put the Gulf states themselves at risk
Following the Houthi missile strike on Riyadh airport, Professor Mohammad Marandi warned that the region could be heading toward something far worse.
He believes Iran is already preparing for another American attack and may even consider striking first.
But his biggest warning concerns the Gulf countries hosting American forces.
Marandi argues that if Washington attacks Iran's energy infrastructure, Tehran could retaliate against oil and gas facilities across the Gulf.
He also believes Turkey and Pakistan would struggle to defeat the Houthis even if they entered the Yemen war.
His point is that another confrontation may no longer remain confined to Iran, Israel or Yemen.
The countries providing bases, airspace and logistical support could find themselves directly in the conflict.
And with energy markets already under pressure, the economic consequences could extend far beyond the Middle East.

🇺🇸 Sam Altman says people are right to worry about AI companies becoming too powerful.
“I think you also see a real fear that some of these companies or some companies developing AI could get too much power and be able to sort of exert undue influence on the economy, push a worldview out on people.
And I think the world is right to be afraid of this.”
Well, that’s a good read. What now?

🚨🚨| BREAKING: The International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) names Lionel Messi — not Rodri — as the 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐑 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. 🇦🇷🎖️
The IFFHS award contradicts FIFA's Golden Ball award, which went to Rodri. 😳
Ammar Husain Rizvi retweeted
🚨Leo Messi has been named as the ‘Best Player’ of the World Cup 2026 by:
✅ IFFHS MVP — Messi
✅ SofaScore MVP — Messi
✅ WhoScored MVP — Messi
✅ Transfermarkt MVP — Messi
And FIFA gifted this prestigious award to Rodri out of no reason! 😂😂😂
🗣️ “But but FIFA boy, FIFA helps” 👀

✅ Argentina scored the most goals till the semi final of this World Cup. Total 19 goals! 🔥
Surprisingly they had 00 shots on target in the final after playing 120 minutes! 😳
✅ Argentina did 25 fouls and Spain did 21 fouls.
Surprisingly Argentina received 1 red card & 4 yellow. Spain didn’t receive any card! 😱😳
✅ Lisandro Martinez is the most determined player in the team who usually continues playing while bleeding in ordinary matches! 🤯👏
Surprisingly he got injured in the World Cup final without any major contract from an opponent. He subbed off at 44th minute! 😳
✅ Argentina lost their two of the best CB at 70th minute as Romero also got injured!
Surprisingly this is the first time we have seen this in the recent years in Argentina team! 😳
✅ Lautaro Martinez scored the match winning goal in semi finals vs England!
Surprisingly he was not seen even on the screen in the final vs Spain let alone playing some minutes!
✅ As of now, some of the players have still not returned to Argentina after the final!
✅ Finally Messi wasn’t awarded the Golden Ball! By what statistical measure did Rodri deserve it over Messi! No one knows! 😳
All things considered, I have to say something happened here, just like what happened in the era of Maradona in 1990.
The Brazilian FIFA president back then simply snatched the World Cup away from Maradona. Maradona cried and said that Havelange (the then FIFA president) had taken the World Cup away from him. 💔
Today, FIFA president Infantino has perhaps done the exact same thing. ✅
Since false narratives like 'Messi, FIFA boy, rigged' were spreading throughout the entire World Cup, maybe they did this so that FIFA's image wouldn't be tarnished and the billion dollar business across Europe wouldn't be ruined. 😮🥶
I don't know what the truth is here, but sooner or later it will come to light. Until then, we wait....🥹🥲

Even Speed couldn’t believe how Rodri won the Golden Ball over Leo Messi! 😳😱
@fifa & Infantino have no answer here. He did it just to get support from UEFA in the next election. Shame on Infantino & FIFA! 😂

Lionel Messi surpassed all expectations in this World Cup, enjoying an absolutely stellar campaign at 39 years of age ✨
🏅 Let's look at some of the records he set during a memorable 5 weeks in North America... 🧵

🇦🇷 The hate against Messi came out of nowhere, and it has nothing to do with football.
Here's what's actually going on...
Messi lifted the World Cup in December 2022 and the entire planet lost its mind celebrating.
Three and a half years later, a chunk of the internet suddenly decided he's a villain.
Nothing on the pitch changed. Same guy, same career, twenty years of footage anyone can check in under a minute.
What changed is the feed. Villain edits started outperforming legend edits and the algorithm noticed.
A 2018 MIT study tracked 126,000 claims across 3 million X users. False stories spread six times faster than true ones and got retweeted 70% more often. Outrage simply beats accuracy at getting attention.
None of this needs a single big lie either. Illusory truth effect: see a claim enough times and it starts feeling true even when you know it's false, and the effect survives fact checks.
Football is basically the most documented thing on earth. Every match, every angle, every ref decision, all archived. The narrative still won anyway.
If the algorithm can flip public opinion on the most watched athlete alive, it can flip it on anyone with no footage to fall back on.

Zinedine Zidane sobre Lionel Messi, entre lágrimas tras la final del Mundial.
🗣️ “Ver a Leo Messi llorar me rompe el corazón. El fútbol puede ser increíblemente hermoso, pero también despiadado. Hoy no veo a un jugador derrotado; veo a un hombre que entregó absolutamente todo por su país una vez más.”
“Es fácil celebrar a las leyendas cuando levantan un trofeo, pero las verdaderas leyendas también se reconocen en sus lágrimas. Perder otra final del Mundial deja una herida que nunca desaparece del todo. Solo quienes han vivido ese nivel de presión entienden ese dolor.”
“Habrá quienes recuerden el resultado, pero yo recordaré el coraje. Messi volvió a cargar con el peso de toda una nación sobre sus hombros y luchó hasta el último segundo. Eso merece respeto, no críticas.”
“Leo, levanta la cabeza. Ninguna derrota puede borrar lo que has significado para el fútbol. Hoy lloras porque amas este deporte más que nadie. Y precisamente por eso, millones de personas en todo el mundo lloran contigo. Tu legado jamás será definido por una sola noche, sino por toda una vida haciendo feliz al fútbol.”

🚨🎙️Reporter: “Did Cucurella deserve a red card?”
🗣️Rooney: “Absolutely. If we’re being honest, that’s a red card every day of the week. I don’t understand how VAR looked at it and still let him stay on the pitch. From what I’ve seen so far, most of the big decisions have gone against Argentina. If the referee had been consistent, Spain would’ve been down to 10 men.”
🎙️Reporter: “So you think Argentina have been treated unfairly?”
🗣️Rooney: “Without a doubt. Fans just want consistency. The officiating has raised more questions than answers.”
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is not a real quote from Wayne Rooney. He criticized Lionel Messi for trying to get Marc Cucurella sent off after Enzo Fernandezs red card in the 2026 World Cup final calling it sad desperation and lacking sportsmanship from Argentina.

🚨 Zlatan Ibrahimović on Lionel Messi not winning the World Cup Golden Ball:
🗣️: “What else did Messi have to do to win it? I genuinely don’t understand the criteria anymore. If you look back at 2018, Luka Modrić won the Golden Ball without winning the World Cup. So what changed now?
“Messi carried Argentina throughout the tournament, delivered when it mattered most, and was once again the player everyone feared. If that wasn’t enough, then tell me what is.
“It feels like the standards are always different when it comes to Messi. Every other player gets judged one way, but with him, people suddenly move the goalposts. It’s always against Messi.
“I’m happy for Rodri, but from a football perspective, I don’t think anyone had a stronger case than Messi.”
