The Club World Cup will see a range of new innovations this summer.🏆

1⃣ Referees will wear body cameras with the footage used on live match broadcasts.

2⃣ Footage from referee monitor reviews will be aired live in stadiums.

3⃣ Advanced semi-automated offside technology will be in use. Balls will have a sensor inside.

4⃣ AI will be used to collect live match data as part of FIFA's partnership with Hawk-Eye.

5⃣ Substitutions will be requested on a digital tablet rather than via paper slips.

🗣️ FIFA Secretary General Mattias Grafström: "FIFA has a proud history of breaking new ground at its elite tournaments, and the FIFA Club World Cup will continue that trend. With the best clubs competing for the title of world champions, it is fitting that these trailblazing innovations will be on display at such a prestigious tournament."

Cool

BlueMann:
Dem no wan gree for each other...Djoker fighting for his life, Sinner wants to bury him now

5-5, no breaks

This is one thing I hate about tennis ,the match has lasted over three hours already, and there's no certain time when it will end. If Djokovic wins this set, it could drag on past 10

Realtord43:
Estevao hasn't kick ball with Chelsea yet, but y'all already know he not ready yet to play in the Epl.

Some of you overrate the Premier league too much.

Hold your bad Energy till he arrived

He's a starter for the Brazil national team, yet he's not ready for EPL and their club. Funny people.

Ibime:
Facing a backline of Pacho, Hincape and Estupinian and a bus parking midfield including Caicedo is no easy feat for an attacker so Ecuador match is not the best to judge Estevao on

Thank you jare.

I don’t watch the game, so I’m not sure how fairly he played, but I saw the ratings and noticed he had the same rating as Vinícius Júnior. That’s why I asked in my first post, “What impact did Vinícius have in that game as well?” That should tell you the opposing team was tough.

If you all are concluding that a player who starts for the almighty Brazil national team isn’t good enough to start for your club, then I don’t know what kind of player you're expecting.

Initially, I thought it was just a rumour or fake, but now it seems more real than fake.
Wetin dey worry this boy?

Caicedobets:
His record against the big teams has been poor like someone said here yesterday
He did nothing of note yesterday against Ecuador .He is not ready for Chelsea first 11 yet

What did the self-proclaimed Ballon d'Or winner do? Estavo played for 64 minutes before being subbed off, while the self-proclaimed Ballon d'Or winner played the full 90 minutes with nothing to show for it.

I read nothing.

Absolutely nothing

Trump united several factions of the American polity to win the elections.
One of those factions want something to be urgently done about America's rising deficit.

Trump gets elected.
He immediately lets those guys, led by Elon, have a crack at deficit reduction.
They had some wins but then they inevitably stalled when the next item on the docket was taking an axe to military spending and America's beloved entitlement programs.
It is pertinent to note that while DOGE was in session, Elon disproportionately suffered the consequences while Trump skated by with nary a scratch.

Recall that part about several factions.
Well, Trump promised to make the 2017 tax cuts permanent to another faction that elected him.
He also promised no tax on overtime, no tax on tips, and no tax on social security payments.
The WH does not control the purse strings. Congress does. Congress represents varied interest groups.
So if Trump wants to fulfill the tax cut promise to Wall Street, corporate America, and Main Street, he needs to cut soap for Congress critters.

Enter the Big Beautiful Bill (3B) that is America's version of a padded budget bill with million naira streetlights.
Nigerians call it padding. Americans call it pork.
Trump has to cheer for it for political expediency. Midterms are a year out.
Elon is big mad Tesla sales dropped virtually everywhere including a whooping 49% in Europe actively pursuing a cause that this bill mollifies.
Elon sees the opportunity to rail against the bill to recover somewhat with the tree hugger crowd.
Trump is pushing back because he is a creature of habit. His golden rule is that all attacks, direct or implied, must be responded to.
That's the latest.

-Lord

Mr. Man, u are making it more complicated sir .

Amoto94:
The bot wey Oga Seun create dey do work wey dem no send am.
The military are doing a nice job in repelling and attacking the criminals

I think the bot is banning posts randomly. Once it reaches a certain number of posts, then it begins to ban, because I don't get it, I submitted a post successfully without any issues or ban, but later I noticed an error in the post, then I clicked modify botton to correct it ,When I corrected it and resubmitted, I was banned immediately.
Wtf?

Ibime:
Thanks Boss. CT and XRay have come back clear. We are just waiting on Carotid artery MRI and Vitamin B12 test to know how far. Hoping it's Vitamin B12 deficiency so there will be hope of recovery. Na my Pale, the nigga was complaining of massive headache on Friday claiming some blood is trying to force it's way through some ventricles in his brain, by Saturday he's lost half his memory and calling us to come and witness his will and last wishes that he is going, so we admitted him to hospital. The guy want die before his mother, selfish fellow

Sorri bro, wishing him a speedy recovery .

Make he no kuku come atall . I haven't get over Jackson shock till now abeg .
Imagine Manure fans go dey yab us with onana twins

Abeg abeg, let me concentrate with this match.😂😂😂

When you find grace with God, even if you dey sell sand, people will be lining up to buy it from you. That’s the story of this boy called Yamal. Ordinarily, that ball shouldn’t have gone in, but it is what it is.

Mike Onana😂

Understand Mike Maignan has told Milan he wants to join Chelsea.

No guarantee a move happens as Milan’s £20m-£25m price remains, but the French keeper has now made it clear he wants to leave. Chelsea expected to place a bid to see if they can secure Maignan before the CWC.

Fabregas was a technical maestro. Though he lacked pace and strength, he made up for those deficiencies in vision, pass accuracy, goals, balance and elite-level technical mobility. I am sorry, Enzo is no Fabregas.

Fabregas wey don map the whole pitch for head before he receives a pass to execute.
Enzo will still be running 20 yards with the ball to make a 10 yard pass.

Let me pretend Dat I didn't see dis.😂😂😂

🚨 Liam Delap on Cole Palmer: “Cole is incredible in everything he does. I can’t wait to be in front of him again and receive his passes.”

[via Chelsea FC]
I just hope you deliver, and give us 30+ EPL goals, otherwise Airmark will face a lot of backlash here because of you. 😂😆😄

Newcastle United have approached Chelsea to enquire about the possibility of signing Noni Madueke this summer. There is also understood to be interest from AC Milan. Chelsea might be open to starting talks over a fee in the region of €60m.

Worst off 5-0

Why not

u Dey mind the attention seeker

AirBere:
Nope. Irrespective of the format, the UEFA champions league remains the hardest club competition to win. The difficulty level remains legendary because it captures the best of the best and it's played in a regular season. For instance, the champions of England, Spain and Italy won't be competing in the club world cup and some players already checked out after a torrid season. Some are extremely exhausted.

The club world cup will be interesting for sure but in terms of difficulty to win, the UCL trumps it and it should.

Yeah, I quite agree with bolded, Many players may not fully commit to it, but when you consider the money involved, $125 million, and the fact that it could be yours in less than a month if you win, it becomes a huge motivation.
Another factor that I think it will make it tougher is the participation of the three most recent champions league winners, which raises the level of competition significantly high.

With the new format of the Club World Cup, it will be easier to win the Champions League than to win the Club World Cup.

Congrats to her

Enzo5 is defending Enzo Fernández with the same passion MorataFC once defended Morata here with his blood, sweat, and daily posts. But in the end, Morata failed him woefully. I just hope Enzo Fernández succeeds here, because his success ultimately means success for the club.

Good

Lol, even 9mobile follow dey threaten

Running to Saudi Arabia after losing 5:0 in a champions league is an all time low.

I be FG employee, and I'm not offended by his car ads mocking civil servants. Rather, I find them amusing and I think the NOA scored an own goal by issuing that statement because instead of shutting him down he's gotten more visibility, virality, momentum and a huge boost.

I mean, this guy has been posting these ads since last year but was ignored and tucked away in a small corner of social media. Now, thanks to the attention from the NOA, he’s scheduled to appear on Channels TV’s morning show today and other media outlets.

In this case, silence and ignoring him into oblivion would have been the better strategy.

I get that some people found the ads funny, but honestly, the NOA did the right thing by stepping in. There’s a saying: “A small spark can start a big fire,” and “a stitch in time saves nine.” If you don’t address disrespect early, it can grow and cause real damage.

This isn’t about being too serious or lacking humor, it’s about drawing the line. You can’t keep mocking civil servants publicly and expect no response. In many small businesses with just 20 or 50 staff, you’d face consequences for publicly insulting your boss or coworkers. Why should it be different here?

Even on Nairaland, if you disrespect people or use the wrong words, you get banned. Is Seun scoring an own goal for keeping order on his platform? Of course not. He’s protecting the space. So how much more important is it to defend the dignity of civil servants across the entire nation, people who, at one point or another, include our fathers, mothers, and yours too, or even ourselves, ( though some may have retired?)

That’s exactly what the NOA did: defending the dignity of those who serve the country dutifully and faithfully.

Yes, the guy may have gotten more attention now, but good attention is better than bad. Unfortunately, in this age of moral decay and the so-called "woke" generation, any kind of attention is seen as success. But not for people like us, we still value moral standards. And the internet never forgets, this could come back to haunt him in the future.

The NOA’s move also sends a clear message: there are limits, and not everything is fair game for jokes.
So kudos to them.

forgiveness:
Expect the trend where Chelsea becomes a selling team and eventually becomes a small club. Except they have policy of rewarding exceptional players.

You just stated the obvious , but how else can you reward exceptional players if not through wages?

If the wage structure is capped at £200k, and let’s assume we win the league next season, our best players , let's say, Palmer or Caicedo , let's assume they are on £180k. Meanwhile, someone like Isak at Newcastle, whose team didn’t even finish in the top four, is earning £230k or more. How do you think our players will feel? They’ll definitely be tempted by better offers if they come.

So, you can’t claim to uphold a strict wage structure while failing to keep up with the market standards set by your competitors.
Who does that?
