I've put this here because it doesn't relate to the matches themselves

The World Cup hosts are the USA, Mexico and Canada.

The US has an unstable president with gangs of enforcement officers running riot around the country.

Mexico has become dangerous to visit due to fighting between gangs and with the military.

Isn't it time that we moved all the matches away from these two countries.

If Canada can take all the matches then they should be moved there.

I mean, that's just a WC26 issue, surely? Assuming the US isn't splattiferated before the tournament starts.

Tonight we've found one person who shouldn't be going to the World Cup.

He's Sven Jablonski from Germany, together with his very poor officiating crew.

So many mistakes, totally lost control of the match. He can do that in a friendly but not in the finals.

The ref needs to be fired

Southampton 1-0 up against Arsenal's backup team.

And it was down to misjudgement by Ben White. He's already being booed by the Southampton fans and now this. I'm starting to feel sorry for him.

A good win by Southampton against Arsenal 2-1.
But I can't believe that Martinelli only got a yellow card for pushing the referee out of the way in extra time. It was a definite red, can the FA upgrade it?
