Ah, this world dominated by men... whoever wrote the news forgot that Marta and Christine Sinclair have already scored goals in 5 editions of the World Cup, a feat that Cristiano Ronaldo has only achieved now. 🙈

Lol I loved this photo of Marta and Christine Sinclair laughing at a newspaper that says "Cristiano Ronaldo becomes the first player to score goals in 5 editions of the World Cup"

Because they both already did this 🙂 in 2019 pic.twitter.com/CLuiRMmQK2

FIFA opens disciplinary proceedings against Croatia for xenophobic insults

FIFA announced this Tuesday (29) that it has opened disciplinary proceedings against the Croatian Football Federation (HNS) due to insults made by fans against Canada goalkeeper Milan Borjan, of Serbian origin, in the game between the teams in Group F of the World Cup.

FIFA's decision was due to “the discriminatory and xenophobic behavior of some Croatian fans during the game against Canada and due to banners with the same content”, the organization said in a statement.

Croatia fans held up this flag aimed at Canada goalkeeper Milan Borjan.

"Knin 95 – Nothing runs like Borjan."

Knin is Borjan's hometown and the flag refers to the victory in the war over Serb separatists which saw Borjan and most Serbs from Croatia driven from their homes. pic.twitter.com/sH9JW9pOPD
