More than two years ago, the Seattle World Cup host committee had decided to incorporate its annual Pride Weekend into the match scheduled for Friday, June 26. At the World Cup draw in December, Egypt and Iran were slotted into the game. Both these soccer federations objected to being affiliated with a Pride Match. But the objections proved overwrought: Pride displays inside and outside the stadium did not disrupt the game. Read more:

A gay cruise chartered by Atlantis Events was denied entry to Turkey for being "incompatible" with the country's "moral values." So the ship rerouted to Alexandria, Egypt instead. Egypt denied them too. Similarly, during the FIFA World Cup, Seattle designated a "Pride Match" before even knowing which teams would play it and by pure coincidence, Iran and Egypt got the matchup. Egypt's Football Federation "categorically rejected" anything tied to "supporting homosexuality." Iran called it "an irrational move" and filed an official complaint. Turkey has banned Pride marches since 2015. Egypt ranks in one of the lowest spots on the LGBTQ equality indexes. And as for Iran, same-sex conduct carries a death penalty. Yet the reaction from Western queer activists to actual, real-time oppression? Silence. Compare that to the noise around Israel, the only country in the Middle East where LGBTQ people are legally protected and same-sex marriages are recognized, and the only country in the region where a gay cruise would be welcomed. Calling the only country in the region that protects LGBTQ people “pinkwashing,” while ignoring regimes that persecute or kill them, is not solidarity. It's hypocrisy. Groups like “Queers for Palestine” are so blinded by their hatred of Israel that they overlook the LGBTQ people across the region who are still desperately fighting for basic human rights.

A couple of takeaways from tonight's World Cup "Pride" match between Egypt & Iran in Seattle: - Tonight wasn't just a soccer match—it was a test of whether Seattle's politicians actually believe the values they claim to champion. If you're going to celebrate Pride, why stay silent when teams from countries that execute gay people come to your city? This was the Pride movement's biggest opportunity to make a statement—and they completely missed it. If America stands for free speech and equal rights, then don't apologize for it. Say it proudly. A soccer game comes and goes. Taking a stand for American values would have been remembered. -The politicians who never miss an opportunity to virtue signal suddenly became very quiet when it actually mattered. The people protesting the Iranian regime showed more consistency than the politicians who claim to champion LGBTQ rights. This could have been a defining moment for Seattle. Instead, city leaders chose silence. If your principles disappear the moment they're inconvenient, they aren't principles—they're performance." -Where were all the activists? For all the noise they usually make, they were almost nowhere to be found. If you believe in something, defend it. -The World Cup showed Seattle can secure its streets when it wants to. The question is why that commitment isn't year-round. Public safety isn't impossible. Tonight proved it's a choice." -Seattle had a chance to show the world what it stands for. Instead, it showed the world what it was unwilling to say.

#WATCH | Kanpur, UP: On upcoming India vs Pakistan match in Asia Cup 2025, Aishanya Dwivedi - wife of Pahalgam terror attack victim Shubham Dwivedi, says, "BCCI should not have accepted a match between India and Pakistan...I think BCCI is not sentimental towards those 26 families...What are our cricketers doing? It is said that cricketers are nationalists. It is viewed as our national game. But except 1-2 cricket players, nobody stepped forward to say that we should boycott the match against Pakistan. BCCI cannot make them play at gunpoint. They should take a stand for their country. But they are not doing it. I would like to ask the sponsors and broadcasters if their nationality for those 26 families is finished?...What will the revenue from the match be used? Pakistan will use this just for terrorism...That is a terrorist nation...You will provide them revenue and prepare them to attack us once again. I cannot understand this...I urge people to boycott this. Do not go to watch this and do not switch on your TV for this..."

The Fifa World Cup is billed as an international festival of football - bringing people together from all over the globe to celebrate their countries on the pitch. But the tournament, this year hosted across 16 cities in the USA, Canada and Mexico, is caught up in President Donald Trump’s strict US border rules - and not everyone appears to be welcome. It’s the latest controversy to hit the 2026 World Cup, after sky-rocketing match ticket and transport prices, fears surrounding high temperatures for athletes and fans, and the ongoing war between the US and Iran. There are 39 countries with a full or partial US travel ban under Trump's administration, according to the latest update by US Congress in January. Watch the full episode of the breakdown on Channel 4 News' YouTube channel.

🚨 Mohamed Salah was asked which country he would support to win the World Cup if Egypt do not go all the way following Egypt’s emphatic 3–1 victory over New Zealand. 🎙️ Reporter: “Mo, if Egypt are eliminated from the World Cup, which team would you like to see lift the trophy?” 🗣️ Mohamed Salah: “Of course, our focus is on Egypt. We believe in ourselves, and we want to make history for our country. “But if Egypt cannot win the World Cup, I think many Egyptian fans would support Portugal. “In Egypt, Cristiano Ronaldo is hugely admired. A lot of people grew up watching him, and many young players were inspired by his mentality, his work ethic and everything he has achieved in football. “I think it’s fair to say there are many Egyptian fans who would love to see him win another major trophy. “Portugal are a fantastic team with great players, and if our journey ends, I believe a lot of people in Egypt would be cheering for Cristiano and Portugal. “But for now, our only focus is on building on this victory over New Zealand and making sure Egypt stay in this tournament for as long as possible.” {ESPN}

In 2010, a man came forward claiming to have been present at a highly secretive 2005 meeting in the City of London, in which a planned Third World War—initiated by a strike on Iran by Israel—was discussed in detail. "They were in a rush to try and roll out this sequence of events." "It starts with Israel attacking Iran." "The plan is for either Iran, or for China, to retaliate after Iran is struck with a nuclear weapon." "This is being choreographed. It's like the script for a movie." "And because people will be driven into fear by this, they'll request and demand and insist on heavy controls from their governments." "And this is where you're going to get the martial law situation in all the Western countries." "All of this is just the start of something, because this story gets much bigger. And it's pretty horrifying."

Cabo Verde manager Bubista spoke about the level of pride he has for his team after an incredible run in this edition of the World Cup: "Well, first of all, good evening. First things first: I feel pride in my players and in what they did. They did it with dignity and courage. And also a word to our opponent, Argentina. I think they showed why they're world champions. I think I can say our team showed how willing they were to play this game, to play this match. I don't think any other team could have scored two goals against Argentina and then taken the match into extra time. I think that shows the character of our team, how skilled our team was throughout most of the match. We knew the quality of our opponent. It was going to be a tough match, as it truly proved to be against Argentina. But I think we did our best, and we did it with bravery. And we never failed to stay true to our identity, which is why I'm so proud of what my players did throughout the match. Obviously, at times during the match, you have to have courage and you have to be well-organized because of how skilled your opponent is. But I think that being able to equalize against Argentina twice, after falling behind, shows how resilient our team is and how strong our character is as well." Much to be proud about for Cabo Verde. #FIFAWorldCup | #FIFAWorldCup2026 | #CaboVerde | #TubarõesAzuis | #WeAreCaboVerde #argentina #messi #capeverde 📹: FIFA MEDIA

NEWS: Belgium is “astonished” and MELTING DOWN after FIFA LIFTED the one-game SUSPENSION on USMNT star Folarin Balogun — making him available for the Round of 16 clash against them Monday night in Seattle. Full Statement: “The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) is astonished by FIFA's decision to declare suspended United States player Folarin Balogun eligible to play in the USA-Belgium match on Monday, 6 July at 5:00 p.m. (Seattle time).” “FIFA bases its decision on Article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code. This provision states that the FIFA Disciplinary Committee may decide to suspend the enforcement of a previously imposed disciplinary sanction.” “However, Article 66.4 of the same FIFA Disciplinary Code clearly provides that a red card (sending-off) automatically results in a suspension for the team's next match, as has been the case for all previous red cards issued during this FIFA World Cup.” “Furthermore, and irrespective of the above, the decision is in direct contradiction with the provisions of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Competition Regulations, as set out in Article 10.5: ‘If a player or team official is sent off as a result of a direct or indirect red card (second caution), they will automatically be suspended from their team's subsequent match. In addition, further sanctions may be imposed.’” “The automatic nature of such a suspension was also explicitly reaffirmed in FIFA World Cup 2026 Circular No. 16, which was distributed to all participating member associations on 12 May 2026.”

🇺🇲🇮🇷 The Silent War on Green Grass: Iran vs. USA, World Cup 1998. The Iran vs. USA match at the 1998 World Cup went down in history not just as a football game, but as the "most politically charged match of all time." While security was at an all-time high due to the severed diplomatic ties following the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the event turned into an unexpected and profound lesson in fair play. According to FIFA protocol, the Iranian players (as Team B) were supposed to walk toward the Americans for the pre-match handshake, but Iran’s leadership forbade them from making the first move. To resolve the tension, the American players showed great sportsmanship by walking toward the Iranians instead. In response to this gesture, the Iranian players presented their opponents with white roses as a symbol of peace. The match itself was thrilling; Iran secured a 2–1 victory with goals from Estili and Mahdavikia, marking their first-ever win in World Cup history. At the final whistle, players from both sides swapped jerseys and posed for a joint photo, sending a powerful message to the world that sport can be far more unifying than politics.

Tonight, something will happen that has never happened before. Bosnia and Herzegovina will play in the knockout round of the World Cup. The team that defeated Italy to qualify will soon walk onto the pitch in San Francisco to face the United States in an elimination match. This is a historic moment for both teams, win or lose. I will be watching, and across Bosnia and Herzegovina, fans will gather to watch a great game despite the late hour. I will be cheering for the Stars and Stripes. I cannot pretend otherwise. But there is something more important than tonight’s score: for more than three decades, the United States and Bosnia and Herzegovina have stood together as friends and partners. That doesn’t change at kickoff, and it will not change at the final whistle – whatever the result. So good luck to both sides tonight. And to Bosnia and Herzegovina and Team U.S.A. — what a run it has been. Vidimo se na terenu.

Tonight in Berlin: A vehicle just plowed into the crowd at the Christopher Street Day Pride parade in Tiergarten. 1 dead. At least 17 injured - several fighting for their lives. The driver fled. Manhunt ongoing. Motive still unknown. Meanwhile, remember this German imam from last year? In a calm interview he openly defended Sharia law — including the execution of homosexuals by crushing them under a stone wall. “If Allah describes this in the Qur’an… then of course we stand behind it.” He compared it to the electric chair and said he stands behind everything written in the Quran. Did the attacker listen to him? We don’t know yet. But we do know this: In Germany you can stand in front of a camera and justify murdering gay people according to Islamic law… and nothing happens. Yet if a German citizen warns that importing millions of people from cultures that still believe homosexuality is a death-penalty crime is a terrible idea, that person gets investigated, deplatformed, or prosecuted for “hate speech.” This is the double standard destroying Europe. Radical imams get free rein to preach death for “infidels” and homosexuals. Critics of mass migration get the full weight of the state. How much longer are we going to pretend this is sustainable? How many more Pride parades, Christmas markets, and street festivals have to be attacked before the taboo is broken? The left will scream “Islamophobia.” The reality is simpler: You cannot import a 7th-century legal system that mandates death for gay people and then act shocked when some people take it seriously. Free speech for those who want to kill us. Censorship for those who want to survive This is insane.

Tonight in Berlin: A vehicle just plowed into the crowd at the Christopher Street Day Pride parade in Tiergarten. 1 dead. At least 17 injured - several fighting for their lives. The driver fled. Manhunt ongoing. Motive still unknown. Meanwhile, remember this German imam from last year? In a calm interview he openly defended Sharia law — including the execution of homosexuals by crushing them under a stone wall. “If Allah describes this in the Qur’an… then of course we stand behind it.” He compared it to the electric chair and said he stands behind everything written in the Quran.

Protests are spreading rapidly across both small towns and major cities in Iran. The slogans echoing through the streets speak of one thing only: love for Iran. The Iranian people have never accepted—and never will accept—being reduced to an abstract “Muslim ummah” under a coercive regime that seeks to erase their national identity. Iranian patriotism stands firm against a government that has tried, unsuccessfully, to redefine a nation with a civilization thousands of years old. While the Islamic Republic has spent Iran’s oil and gas wealth on terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah, the Iranian people respond with a clear and powerful cry: “Neither Gaza nor Lebanon — my life for Iran.” Another widely chanted slogan, “This is the final battle; Pahlavi will return,” is born from the same deep love for the homeland. For many Iranians, the Pahlavi name symbolizes national security, dignity, and a strong sense of national pride. Iranians have only one identity: Iranian. They were never an “Islamic ummah,” and they will never embrace terrorists who kill innocent people in the name of ideology. The world must understand this: when Iran is free, and a secular democratic government comes to power, political Islam will begin to lose its influence far beyond Iran’s borders. Just as Khomeini once taught radicalization to the so-called “Muslim ummah,” a free Iran—at the heart of the Middle East—will lead the way in dismantling this dark ideology worldwide. The international community must support the Iranian people’s revolution. A free Iran means a safer Middle East—and for Europe, Iran’s neighbor, it means trade, stability, and legitimate energy partnerships instead of terrorism, chaos, and endless crises. I share with you some images of Iran during the Pahlavi dynasty to help you understand what the future of a free and prosperous Iran can look like. #پاينده_ایران #جاويدشاه‌

A warning to Americans about living under Sharia Law from a woman who used to live in Iran - “In Iran, you can get arrested for walking a dog and then they can take your dog away because according to Islam, dogs are najis, which means unclean - In Iran, you will get arrested. Not can, will if you're a female solo singer, it is against the law - I Iran, not that you have to wear hijab, but if your hijab is not to the liking of the regime forces, they can push you forcefully into a van and take you to jail. And then things that happen in those jails, let's just say that they're not ethical - In Iran, you are not allowed to change your religion or choose your religion. If you do so, you will be executed - In Iran, they would line us up as children force hijab on us and force us to chant Death to America. I wouldn't call that school. I would call that a cult that is trying to brainwash children into a terrorist mindset. - In Iran, there are stations with regime forces and they can stop your car and see if the person next to you is a girlfriend, a boyfriend, or you're married to. If you're married to them, you can get arrested in 5 years. Imagine that a Big Mac went from $6 to $600. That's exactly what happened in Iran. Well, roughly. I think it's even more than that. And everything. I'm telling you, it's not even the worst thing that's happening in Iran. Every time people request a regime change and they start to protest, the regime shuts off the internet and starts shooting people with military grade weapons, children. Regime forces in the past two to three weeks have killed more than 50,000 people. So yeah, if you have opinions about how Iranians should feel, perhaps you should go to Iran, live with the regime and maybe raise a child or two, and then we can speak about it.”

When my dad Jamshid Sharmahd first created a Website to echo the voices of the people of Iran 16 years ago, who would have thought that one day he would be kidnapped by the terror regime and needed the world to stand up to fight for his life? Dad, if somehow this video reaches you in the darkest corners of their isolation cells in Iran, I just want you to know how much I love you, how proud we are of you, how many people are fighting your fight for freedom and say your name. You have been so brave and strong. Hang on. The day we all been waiting for is near. #SaveSharmahd

FIFA adopted a dynamic pricing approach to tickets, by which prices fluctuate in accordance with supply and demand. This made for some absurd fluctuations to ticket prices. Standard admission pricing for the semi-final between Chelsea and Brazil’s Fluminense at MetLife was reduced to just $13.40 on the weekend before last Tuesday’s match, having been priced at $473.90 less than 72 hours earlier. That meant it could be cheaper to buy a ticket to the game than to buy a cheesesteak ($15) or a beer ($14) once you were inside the stadium. FIFA is still intending to implement dynamic pricing next summer at the World Cup for standard-admission tickets and it remains to be seen whether those costs will reflect the challenges faced during the Club World Cup over the past month, or whether Gianni Infantino and company take the view that the World Cup is a premium product and worthy of sky-high demand. Adam Crafton on what lessons can be learned from the Club World Cup for the 2026 World Cup ⤵️ 🔗
