Dark days indeed. FIFA’s sycophantic dealings with Trump and special treatment of the US team taint a wonderful tournament.

What a dark day for FIFA. What next? A word in the ear of the ref? VAR teams siding with the US on margin calls? Something like this was always on the cards. The ridiculous FIFA peace prize awarded by the unctuous Infantino felt like the appetizer.

Murdoch rag “The Australian” claims that the Trump/Netanyahu attack on Iran is a just war! Labor must call out the madness of two unhinged, fascist megalomaniacs using militarism to promote imperial ambitions. We need leadership not appeasement of illegal wars of aggression.
