The World Cup is in full swing across North America, and the U.S. men's team faces Turkey in its final group round appearance on Thursday. But behind the cheering fans and nail biting matches, FIFA's commitment to political neutrality is put to the test. Marisa sits down with Tariq Panja, global sports correspondent at The New York Times. They dig into the politics behind the games, from restrictions on Iran's team and President Trump's unusually close relationship with FIFA president Gianni Infantino.  Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠Political Breakdown's weekly newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠, delivered straight to your inbox.

FIFA has been corrupt since before colour television. And the World Cup is proof.From the ISL bribery scandal and Sepp Blatter's seven arrested executives to Qatar's migrant worker nightmare and Gianni Infantino's increasingly bizarre relationship with Donald Trump, this is the complete history of football's governing body and the corruption that has defined it for over a century. We cover the Havelange years, the 2015 FBI raids, the Saudi Arabia 2034 decision, and why Infantino's cosy friendship with the world's most consistently unpopular president keeps getting stranger.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artist: Sarah Chey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Der Iran will die Strasse von Hormus erneut für den Schiffsverkehr sperren. Grund dafür sei ein Verstoss gegen die vereinbarte Waffenruhe im Libanon. Gleichzeitig beginnen möglicherweise am Sonntag Verhandlungen zwischen den USA und dem Iran auf dem Bürgenstock. Weitere Themen: Pristina wächst rasant: Neue, grosse Wohnanlagen entstehen in der Hauptstadt des Kosovo. Angetrieben wird der Boom von der Diaspora. Für verhältnismässig wenig Geld entstehen Wohnungen, die meistens leer stehen. Gleichzeitig steigen die Preise, während die Stadtplanung hinterherhinkt.

The FIFA World Cup has taken over Toronto, Vancouver and cities across the United States and Mexico. Here in Canada, its early days were marred by pro-Palestinian activists protesting Israel's membership in FIFA. Our sports podcasters ask: Do these people know Israel isn't competing in the World Cup? FIFA head Gianni Infantino, meanwhile, is once again moving in the opposite direction, pushing to create a friendly match between Israel and Palestine's under-15 teams. Both examples point to a bizarre trend: using the World Cup, a major sporting event spotlighting dozens of countries worldwide (none of which are Israel), to focus on Israel. Can we just focus on the sport, please? Meanwhile, online trolls are injecting antisemitism into yet another sport that's largely devoid of Jews. After the New York Knicks won the NBA Championship last week, a strange amount of attention is being paid to its Jewish celebrity fans and their comments (Jerry Seinfeld)—or lack of comments (Alana Haim)—about Palestine. The Menschwarmers dig into all this, plus Jalen Brunson's Jewish wife, the Carolina Hurricanes' Jewish general manager, and Belgium's Jewish-adjacent soccer goalie.

Il y un siège libre, celui du journaliste français Christophe Gleizes, qui est le seul journaliste sportif emprisonné dans le monde". À quelques heures du coup d'envoi de la Coupe du monde, Gianni Infantino a tenu cette semaine à afficher son soutien au journaliste français. Mais sur le terrain judiciaire, sa situation reste inchangée : Christophe Gleizes est toujours détenu en Algérie. Début mai, il a renoncé à son pourvoi en cassation afin d'ouvrir la voie à une éventuelle grâce présidentielle. Depuis, le dossier est dans l'attente d'un geste des autorités algériennes, sans qu'aucune décision n'ait encore été annoncée. Cette attente intervient toutefois dans un contexte de réchauffement des relations entre Paris et Alger, marqué ces dernières semaines par le retour de l'ambassadeur d'Algérie en France et par plusieurs signes de reprise du dialogue entre les deux pays, notamment autour des questions judiciaires et consulaires.

Mid-Atlantic Podcast SummaryThis week's Mid-Atlantic examined two stories where sport, politics, identity, and power collided.In the first half, Roifield Brown was joined by John Gunnerson and Tonye Altrade to discuss the 2026 World Cup. The conversation explored FIFA's relationship with political power, visa refusals affecting officials and visitors, Gianni Infantino's leadership, Donald Trump's use of the tournament as a showcase for American influence, and growing concerns that the World Cup is becoming increasingly entangled with geopolitical tensions.The panel questioned whether the tournament can still serve as a global celebration when participants, journalists, and officials from some countries face barriers to entry. They also debated whether FIFA's pursuit of profit and political patronage has undermined the spirit of the game.The second half focused on the riots in Belfast following the attempted murder case involving a Sudanese asylum seeker. The discussion examined how a criminal incident became a flashpoint for wider debates about race, immigration, social media, political opportunism, and public trust. The panel explored the role of figures such as Elon Musk, the influence of online platforms, media responsibility, and whether Britain is becoming increasingly vulnerable to division driven by grievance politics.Despite concerns about rising tensions, the discussion ended on a note of cautious optimism, asking whether Britain can still pull itself back from the edge and reaffirm its tradition of tolerance and democratic resilience.Five Main Quotes"The difference is here is that America is denying people to come to the party.""Football doesn't need to be chasing dirty politics to get money.""I think he wants to be on camera. He wants Gianni Infantino to kiss his ass.""They need to continue keeping them emotionally enraged.""Whilst Belfast shows a very ugly side of human nature... we have seen what people are also capable of in this country to turn the tide."Key ThemesThe politicisation of the World CupFIFA, power, and accountabilityTrump's America and global sportImmigration, race, and public angerElon Musk's influence on political discourseThe role of media and social media in amplifying conflictWhether Britain's institutions can withstand growing polarisationHope versus grievance in modern democratic societiesOverall, the episode argues that both the World Cup and the Belfast riots are symptoms of a broader global struggle over identity, belonging, power, and who gets to shape the narrative in an increasingly fragmented world.

The United States says it's now completed the latest wave of airstrikes on Iran early Thursday morning local time. Iran says it responded with attacks of its own. Earlier on Wednesday, President Trump promised to keep up military pressure on Tehran because Iranian leaders were taking “too long to negotiate”. Also, on the eve of the men's football World Cup kicking off in Mexico the boss of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, has defended the handling of the event amid mounting criticism. Billionaire Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, has faced a US congressional committee keen to learn more about his relationship with the dead sex offender, Jeffery Epstein. In Northern Ireland, crowds gathered for a second night of anti-immigration unrest in parts of Belfast, following a stabbing in the city.

In this episode I'm joined by Philippe Auclair to chat about some more end of season Arsenal stuff, reaction to the Champions League final in terms of how both teams are perceived in football style terms but without sufficient context, before we discuss the upcoming World Cup which starts today. There's focus on Gianni Infantino and the way he has made FIFA his own personal fiefdom, building power and influence, but being too cowardly to use it when his own people need it. There are some wider thoughts on the tournament as a whole, a little more Arsenal stuff at the end, a chance to win a cool celebration photo book, and more.Here's the photo-zine mentioned in the competition – https://lowerblock.com/product/arsenal-champions-again-2025-26/Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Convidados: Guga Chacra, comentarista da Globonews, da TV Globo, da CBN e do jornal O Globo, e André Rizek, editor-chefe e apresentador do Seleção Sportv e Fechamento Sportv. O Mundial de futebol que começa nesta quinta-feira (11) tem dois ineditismos: será disputada por 48 seleções (eram 32 até a última edição, em 2022) e terá três países-sede (EUA, Canadá e México). Durante pouco mais de um mês, milhões de pessoas irão aos estádios para participar da maior festa esportiva do mundo. O problema é que muita gente está enfrentando barreiras de duas ordens: financeiras – os ingressos são também os mais caros de todos os tempos – e políticas – sob a administração Donald Trump, os EUA estão dificultando a entrada de torcedores e até de atletas e delegações que disputarão a Copa do Mundo. Dentro de campo, o Mundial deve marcar o fim da Era Messi e Cristiano Ronaldo, e a Seleção Brasileira busca vencer as desconfianças para levar o hexa – o Brasil foi penta em 2002 e é o único a ter cinco títulos até hoje. Neste episódio, Natuza Nery conversa com dois jornalistas que falam diretamente dos Estados Unidos. Primeiro, Guga Chacra fala sobre o clima político nos EUA e explica a relação entre Gianni Infantino, presidente da Fifa, e Donald Trump. Depois, André Rizek faz a análise esportiva da Copa do Mundo: quem são os favoritos e o azarões, e quais são as chances do Brasil sob o comando de Carlo Ancelotti.
