"Accusations of rape ruin men's lives and careers."

You only have to look at how many footballers who have rape accusations against them that happily represent their countries in huge tournaments like the World Cup without anyone really giving a shit to see what bollocks that is.

Women are rarely taken seriously, rarely believed, rarely stood up for, especially when their abusers are rich and famous.

2026 FIFA World Cup players who’ve been accused of rape and/or physical abuse:

Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal), Achraf Hakimi (Morocco), Thomas Partey (Ghana), Gonzalo Montiel (Argentina), Thiago Almada (Argentina), Junya Ito (Japan), Kaishu Sano (Japan), Ryan Mendes (Cabo Verde).

At least one of these men, Thomas Partey, is currently actively awaiting criminal trial on seven charges of rape and sexual assault but was still able to play at one of the largest sporting events in the world.

I think since rules dont matter anymore that they should bring back cabo verde into the finals like when x factor used to bring back eliminated contestants

I need Jonas to stop checking his shoulder every time it’s time to attack and just trust himself enough to go for it. Sir, truly your only competition is ahead of you, there is no need to look behind you.

Statistically, Cabo Verde wasn’t supposed to be here.

And yet… here they are.

The World Cup always gives us one story we’ll never forget. 🇨🇻⚽

Somewhere in Cabo Verde, kids who never thought they’d see their flag in a World Cup knockout match are getting ready to watch their country face Argentina.

Now an entire nation gets to dream for 90 more minutes.

Cabo verde is the greatest thing to happen in this WC this is what the beautiful game is all about

I will never forget the spurs game when Jota came off the bench and scored the 94th minute winner. I was sitting on the edge of my seat watching the telly as we go from 3-0 to 3-3, thinking we were going to lose the game.

Richarlison had scored the equaliser (90+3) and proceeded to celebrate by shushing our fans, taking off his shirt and doing his pigeon dance.

Not even a minute later (90+4), Diogo Jota comes off the bench and scores an absolute banger to shatter Richarlisons hopes and dreams.

Jota runs off to the kop and does the iconic FIFA celebration. It couldn’t have been anyone else but him… Diogo Jota won us the game and I will never forget that.

When all hope seems gone, Diogo Jota was there ❤️

Can’t believe it’s already been a year 💔 we miss you everyday Jota ❤️ Rest in peace 🕊️ you’ll never be forgotten ❤️‍🩹

CODY!! 🫶

such a beautiful goal, and so deserved

As a reminder, Achraf Hakimi will stand trial in a rape case after investigations concluded that there is sufficient evidence for a trial.

So fuck that guy, and also the systems that allow him to be celebrated on the biggest sporting stage in the world, proving once again, that allegations and investigations will never hurt the rapists.
