Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look to the stories you need to know to start your day including FIFA President Gianni Infantino confirming that President Donald Trump will join him in presenting the World Cup trophy at the FIFA World Cup Final at MetLife Stadium, putting Trump center stage at one of the biggest sporting events on the planet; the growing relationship between Trump, FIFA, and the 2026 World Cup as Team USA continues its tournament run; and Hillary Clinton reigniting debate over the Electoral College in "The American Experiment", a new Netflix docuseries, calling it an "abomination" nearly a decade after her 2016 loss to Trump, while critics argue the system remains one of the Constitution's most important safeguards against rule by a handful of large population centers, and much more.

A discussion with Srinivasan Ramani on the controversies surrounding the 2026 World Cup, FIFA President Gianni Infantino's response and what ‘sportswashing' looks like in this edition. The 2026 FIFA World Cup has delivered dramatic matches, surprise results and compelling storylines. But beyond the football, the tournament has also become a flashpoint for debates about geopolitics, immigration and access. Iran's participation has been overshadowed by the fallout of a wider regional conflict, while visa denials and travel restrictions have raised questions about who gets to be part of football's biggest global event. As the United States hosts the tournament alongside Mexico and Canada, critics have accused FIFA of failing to uphold its own message that football "unites the world". Has the Iranian contingent been treated fairly? Is this World Cup one of the least accessible for global fans in the tournament's history? What will the legacy of this edition be for the game? And has FIFA done enough to push back against the terms dictated by a host nation?

The FIFA World Cup is supposed to be football's greatest celebration - a month where politics takes a back seat, nations come together, and the beautiful game takes centre stage. But as the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off across the United States, Canada and Mexico, many fans are asking a very different question: has this tournament already become the biggest mess in World Cup history? From visa chaos affecting fans, officials and even FIFA-appointed referees, to entire groups of supporters being unable to attend matches, soaring ticket prices, travel nightmares, geopolitical tensions, and growing concerns over FIFA's leadership, controversy seems to be following this World Cup everywhere it goes. Visa denials are affecting officials and referees, while disputes involving Iranian supporters and travel restrictions have cast a shadow over the tournament before many games have even begun. Nima Tavallaey is invited onto various media platforms (BBC, TalkSport, Al Jazeera, Time Radio etc) to discuss the storm surrounding FIFA 2026: the political battles, the fan backlash, the referee controversies, the travel restrictions, the U.S.–Iran tensions, the questions over fairness and accessibility, and the mounting criticism directed at FIFA President Gianni Infantino and the organization itself. Whether you believe football and politics can never truly be separated or you think FIFA has completely lost control of its flagship competition, one thing is becoming impossible to ignore: before a ball has even been kicked in anger, the 2026 World Cup is already generating headlines for all the wrong reasons. So is this simply a difficult tournament facing extraordinary circumstances, or are we witnessing the most chaotic and politically charged World Cup ever staged?

Trump, ticket prices, and thunderstorms… The 2026 World Cup is about to kick off, but it could be a bumpy ride. We've already seen one of the referees banned from entering the United States, Iran's team being forced to move their training base to Mexico, and FIFA President Gianni Infantino telling everyone to ‘chill'. So here are the biggest problems the tournament could face.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup will kick off at Mexico City's iconic Azteca Stadium, with football fans around the world eagerly counting down to the action. But even before the first whistle, controversy is brewing. FIFA President Gianni Infantino has come under fire over the handling of visa issues experienced by teams and referees ahead of the tournament. While excitement is building on the pitch, tensions off it are also making headlines. Here's what's happening.

Nedum touches down in USA and joins Gabby & Mark to discuss the opening game of the World Cup 2026; How excited are the locals, dark horses for the tournament & more...But with such a constant stream of controversy in the days leading up to the first match - fans fleeced for tickets, a Somali referee banned from entering US, national teams greeted by ICE on arrival and FIFA President Gianni Infantino's call for everyone to just "chill out" - has a World Cup ever been harder to love?The Athletic's Adam Crafton also joins to debate whether the questions will actually stop, once the football starts?

Even before a game has been played, this year's World Cup has been the source of controversy. Officials and staff from countries like Iraq, Iran and Somalia have been refused entry or face lengthy interrogation by immigration officials at American airports. FIFA President Gianni Infantino has been widely criticized for his proximity to U.S. President Donald Trump after presenting Trump with a ‘FIFA Peace Prize' award and sitting in the front row at Trump's inauguration. For nearly 100 years, leaders across the world have used soccer, and the World Cup specifically, as a tool of power and politics.David Goldblatt is a journalist, sociologist, professor, and the author of bestselling books such as ‘The Ball is round: A Global History of Soccer.' He joins the program to discuss the World Cup's political history, the failed promise of this year's tournament, and how soccer became “our great public and political theatre.” For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

We are back again with another slightly longer than usual show. Thank you to all those who contacted us saying how much they enjoyed our last show and the interview with Pierre-Emmanuel Luneau-Daurignac all of you sharing his concern that we are putting too much pressure on young children both physically and mentally. On this show we catch up a long term friend of Not The Footy Show, David Mitchell who is an expert in leadership. He was recently looking at the changes at the top in F1 – a sport he knows well having been involved for a number of years, – and wondered if he could give us an insight into the key components to good leadership within sport.How many times does a change in Leadership slow down the sport achieving the goals it set out to achieve, and result in a culture shift. Does Long term sustainable success only come when the leader is given time? David also talks about F1 and teh impact that this change of leadership has had in this space. If you are after more information from David visit his website at the Brand Rover. John’s topic of interest is the news that in the AFL one of their Insurance companies is no longer going to cover players who suffer concussion. What are the potential ramifications of this decision. Will all players at all levels soon have to sign a waiver stating that they understand teh risks involve din playing that sport. With the announcement by CONMEBOL that as a Confederation they plan to endores FIFA President Gianni Infantino for another term at the top of the sport Ashley asks does this show how the Confederations are out of touch with the people, Do the various sports still require the Confederations as a level of management of the sport, are they still relevant? Is it time to stop the gravy train, and would many sports be better off taking away this level of management? Is it time to go back to sport being governed from the bottom up rather than the top down? If you don't want to miss a post or a podcast subscribe to Not The Footy Show on our home page.

Fifa President Gianni Infantino awarded Donald Trump with the football federation's first-ever peace prize, at a lavish ceremony to select the groups for the 2026 men's World Cup. The tournament will be co-hosted by the US, Canada and Mexico. But why does President Trump care about football? Also: Colombia signs a peace deal with the criminal drugs gang Clan del Golfo. Violent clashes jeopardise a ceasefire between Afghanistan and Pakistan. And the celebrity architect Frank Gehry has died at the age of 96.

Fifa's president gave Mr Trump the award at the draw for the 2026 World Cup.

Bruce Wolpe’s latest US commentary focuses on a second Trump term, highlighting concerns about the US becoming more authoritarian, his use of executive power, and the potential impact on international relations and Australia. He has recently discussed issues such as the escalating rhetoric from Trump, his challenges to democratic institutions, and potential shifts in US foreign policy regarding issues like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. “Everyone knew that once Congress passed legislation requiring the Justice Department to release all the Jeffrey Epstein files, US President Donald Trump would go on a tear to “flood the zone” with other distractions so he could command the agenda. And that's exactly what he did. Over the next four days, Trump met with FIFA President Gianni Infantino in the Oval Office to announce expedited visas for fans at next year's World Cup (though, pointedly, not for all)” https://www.ussc.edu.au/trump-s-attacks-are-worsening-why-is-he-becoming-even-more-vengeful The post Saturday, 29th, Nov, 2025: Bruce Wolpe, Senior Fellow, US Study Centre, Latest from the US, the Release of the Epstein Files; Trump’s LGBTIQA+ Supporters appeared first on Saturday Magazine.

Stacie Goddard and Abe Newman explain how cliques are ruling the world The journal International Organization has just published a new online open access edition with short accessible essays written by prominent scholars about the future of international order. One of the more provocative essays is by Good Authority editor and Wellesley College professor Stacie Goddard together with Georgetown professor Abe Newman.  In this new article, Goddard and Newman argue that we may be witnessing the emergence of a neo-royalist world order—one that looks less like the liberal, rules-based system many of us grew up studying, and more like a world dominated by powerful patrons, loyal clients, and informal hierarchies and cliques. We talk about what they mean by “neo-royalism,” how it connects to debates about U.S. power, China's rise, and the politics of global interdependence. We also discuss some examples of how this new order works, such as the authorization of the sale of large quantities of advanced Nvidia chips to the UAE and Saudi Arabia and other cases where the interests of the cliques appear to prevail over national security interests. We also discuss royal wannabes, like FIFA President Gianni Infantino, how this new order competes with other orders and whether it is likely to survive beyond Donald Trump's Presidency.

On today's podcast:1) President Trump’s firm control of Washington showed signs of weakening Tuesday as Congress voted to compel the Justice Department to release its files on sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, whose earlier ties to the president have been the subject of intense scrutiny. The legislation overwhelmingly passed the House in a 427 to 1 vote. Within hours, the Senate agreed unanimously that the bill would be passed without further action once it arrives in the Senate. It will then be sent to Trump, who has said he’ll sign it. Trump late Sunday relented on his prior opposition and directed Republicans to vote to release the files. Senate Republicans ignored calls by Speaker Mike Johnson to give the Justice Department additional leeway to withhold documents. 2) President Trump said he would formally designate Saudi Arabia as a major non-NATO ally in a further strengthening of ties between the two countries, capping a day of dealmaking between the US leader and the kingdom’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The designation for nations with close strategic relationships with the US provides financing and priority access for purchases of certain military equipment, as well as the ability to participate in joint research efforts. Saudi Arabia will become the 20th ally designated under the status, joining other nations in the Middle East including Egypt, Israel, and Qatar. MBS, as Saudi Arabia’s de facto leader is known, was joined by prominent executives and celebrities including Elon Musk and soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo at the Tuesday evening event, with Apple CEO Tim Cook, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, and FIFA President Gianni Infantino also in attendance.3) Wall Street will get a sense of where the billions of dollars being spent on artificial intelligence are going when Nvidia reports its earnings after the bell on Wednesday. Analysts expect the chip behemoth to show more than 50% growth in both net income and revenue in its fiscal third quarter. The reason is fairly straightforward. Microsoft Corp., Amazon.com Inc., Alphabet Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc. — which taken together represent more than 40% of Nvidia’s sales — are projected to increase their combined AI spending by 34% over the next 12 months to $440 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The risk is that these numbers could become unreliable if the big AI spenders, in particular closely held OpenAI, have to pull back on their commitments.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.FIFA President Gianni Infantino, along with City of Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and AMBSE President Tim Zulawski, spoke to the media yesterday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and visiting the West End MARTA Station Soccer project.

Unai Emery will be looking for personal revenge against Luis Enrique for La Remontada in which then his PSG was overrun by Luis Enrique's Barcelona in the second leg in 2017 after a 4-0 win in the first leg. Emery's Aston Villa has a better chance than Dortmund today, but it would be a huge shock. Arsenal will try to become the 44th team to advance after taking a margin of 3 or more goals into the second leg in Champions League history, versus 4 times that leader lost the tie in the second leg. The last time it happened, 2019 as Liverpool came back at Anfield against Barcelona. Barcelona are still trying to finish the construction project at the Spotify Camp Nou, now rushing to get the special VIP seats constructed that were "reportedly" sold to unnamed Middle Eastern businesses for €100m. They need these completed in order to receive a delivery receipt in order to then (for the second time after it was thrown out the first time) account for the sale on their books and increase their salary limit. They did this in January which allowed them to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor on appeal, but then that accounting was thrown out by La Liga, but appeals have allowed Olmo and Victor to continue to be registered, and yeah my head is spinning too. The club is hoping to have the stadium ready to play in before Champions League matches next season, but I wouldn't book flights just yet.The coaching carousel in Brazil has claimed Pedro Caixinha at Santos and Jorge Samapoli, who got spun off the carousel in France at Rennes, might return for another stint at the club.

Whilst one agency/agent is instructed by a court to pay a former player-client almost 5 MILLION euros in 'compensation', statements from Gianni Infantino in recent weeks criticising the outlay by English Premier League Clubs on agent service fees, but are these claims based on a false narrative? The Agents Angle examines the credibility of the FIFA president's comments, in particular the seemingly unjustified claims that FIFA 'Solidarity' and 'Training Compensation' payments to clubs developing players, are negatively affected by football agent commissions. There is a look at Italy with Italian Sports Lawyer Alessandro Mazzucato on the matter of football agent licensing and regulation, where the landscape although similar to France in that national legislation over-rules FIFA regulation, it also has its own variations in football agent regulations and licensing that agents need to be aware of. Plus a look at FIFA 'backing down' in the face of one legal challenge; and also an examination of the new FIFA Digital Agent ID 'Cards' for FIFA Licensed Football Agents, and whether a seemingly well intentioned initiative from FIFA 'falls short' and potentially leads to unintended problems for NOT JUST agents, through factors such as data-theft and the manipulation by the likes of 'fake agents'. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠EMAIL : ⁠⁠questions@theagentsangle.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT THE SHOW via KoFi ====== SHOW RUNNING ORDER : (01:11) - Unwanted & Shortsighted FIFA Rhetoric. > (02:36) - FIFA President Criticises Premier League Agent Outlay. > (07:19) - The FIFA Fallacy of Agent Commissions Affecting FIFA Solidarity & Training Compensation Mechanisms. > (13:03) - Again FIFA 'Bury Their Heads in the Sand' From Reasoned Commentary on Agent Commissions. > (13:57) - Added Context to Gianni Infantino's Other Comments on Agents & FFAR. > (20:16) - FIFA Seemingly 'Back Down' in The Face of Legal Challenge. > (22:58) - New Anti-'Money Laundering' Announcement Relating to Football Agents > (25:52) - Guest Interview - Alessandro Mazzucato - Update on Football Agent Licensing in Italy. > (27:01) - Applying & Obtaining a Football Agent Licence in Italy. > (35:47) - Exclusivity and Mult-Party Agent Representation in Italian Football. > (37:40) - Advice for the Italian Football Agent Market. > (43:03) - Agency/Agent Ordered to Pay Former Client-Player Almost 5,000,000 Euros. > (45:15) - The 'Law of Agency' and Fiduciary Duty for Football Agents. > (50:48) - FIFA Digital ID 'Cards' for Agents. > (56:06) - Quick Takes - TransferRoom, Polish Agent Fees, Football Law/Agent Conference, Agencies in Portugal, Release Clause Variations (60:02) - Disclaimer. > ====== RELATED LINKS : Gianni Infantino - Instagram Post on Premier League Agent Service Fees > FIFA Agent Directory > EU Money Laundering Update > Concern Over New FIFA Football Agent Digital ID 'Cards' > ====== FEATURED ARTICLES : Premier League agent spending criticised by Fifa boss Gianni Infantino > FIFA reaches agreement in lawsuit seeking to allow domestic club games in foreign countries > Sports agency SEG ordered to pay former client Stefan de Vrij more than €5m: Why the case matters for football > Inter Milan Defender Rejoices Following Court Victory Over Former Agency: “I Hope This Case Helps Other Players > Football agent SEG must pay 5.2 million euros to De Vrij due to a non-transparent transfer deal > ===== SHOW LINKS: ⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT THE SHOW via KoFi⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠EMAIL : ⁠⁠questions@theagentsangle.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE : ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.theagentsangle.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter (X)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ====== CREDITS : Theme Music : Agent Red by Abbynoise Music from #Uppbeat : https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/agent-red

Protests erupted after journalists revealed that members met with neo-Nazis to discuss mass deportations, including of citizens.
