Salt Bae keeps getting shit from 99% on Instagram. Turks are overwhelmingly ashamed of his actions, too.

Watching those cartoons I wonder what happened to that Cristiano fanboy Omar Momani.

Footballers made him big though...so a bit ironic.

Indeed. "The hands that build can also pull down"

He made a lot of money from these Argentina NT photos, but now he'll live in infamy for some time.

No. I was more thinking along the line of "they made their bed, now they have to lie in it."

They carry blame for that clown to have become so powerful.

Yeah, yeah. I got you previously. They carry blame, but not all of it. People enjoying clowns on social media are mostly to blame. Footballers jumped on the ship after he became viral.

Reportedly 15 million households in US have watched the final.

Gianni Infantino should make a SuperBowl type of annual World Cup to milk the market. I'm joking. Hope he's removed from general secretary. The guy has no respect for football traditions, proposing WC every 3 years, expanding the tournament to 48 teams. At first some may applaud this but looking at the details, this is pure marketing:

- Football in UEFA zone is king and has only 3 teams increase from 13 to 16. 15 teams were in 1998 France, right? So absolutely irrelevant.
- New Zealand have already qualified from OFC zone for the 2026 World Cup in USA. Unless we need Tonga to break the record for goals conceded in WC history. Oleg Salenko would love to play in such game.
- Africa and Asia have almost double the spots for 2026 WC. You know no need to address the elephant in the room when it comes to football in Asia.
- North America have 3 hosts, so they gave additional 3 slots to teams like Costa Rica, Panama to compete for.

The value of WC records will be severely diluted by allowing bum teams to compete. FFS.
