On Sunday, July 13th at 4:00 PM, Croke Park will host a semi-final that few predicted but everyone now eagerly awaits: Meath vs Donegal. One is a resurgent force from Leinster, the other a battle-hardened Ulster powerhouse. Together, they promise a clash that could redefine the 2025 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship narrative.

⚔️ The Underdog Royals Rise
Meath’s journey to the last four has been nothing short of a fairytale. Not since 2009 have the Royals reached this stage, but a stunning 2-16 to 2-15 upset over Connacht champions Galway has reignited belief in the green and gold. Jordan Morris was the hero, notching 1-6, including the decisive goal eight minutes from time. Under Colm O’Rourke’s stewardship, Meath have rediscovered their swagger—blending youthful exuberance with old-school Meath steel.

🧠 McGuinness’s Masterclass
Donegal, meanwhile, are back in familiar territory. Under the returning Jim McGuinness, they’ve rediscovered their identity: disciplined, dynamic, and devastating on the break. Their 1-26 to 1-20 comeback win over Monaghan showcased their resilience, overturning a seven-point deficit with clinical precision. Ciaran Thompson, Oisín Gallen, and Michael Langan have been instrumental, while Hugh McFadden anchors a midfield that thrives on chaos and control.

🔍 Key Matchups
- Jordan Morris vs Brendan McCole: Meath’s talisman will need to outfox Donegal’s defensive lynchpin.
- Midfield battle: Can Meath’s Conor Gray and Ronan Jones disrupt the rhythm of McFadden and Jason McGee?
- Tactical chess: O’Rourke’s attacking instincts vs McGuinness’s counter-punching pragmatism.

🏟️ History Beckons
This is the first All-Ireland semi-final meeting between these two counties in over two decades. While Donegal have tasted Sam Maguire glory more recently (2012), Meath’s five-time champions are hungry to end a 24-year drought. The stakes? A place in the final against either Kerry or Tyrone—and a shot at immortality.

🔮 Prediction?
Expect a war of attrition early, with Donegal’s structure tested by Meath’s fearless running game. If Morris finds space and Meath’s midfield holds firm, the Royals could shock again. But Donegal’s experience and McGuinness’s tactical nous make them slight favorites.

This one’s for the romantics and the realists alike. A semi-final where past glories meet present ambition—and where one county will dare to dream a little louder.
Want a full final preview once the dust settles? Or maybe a tactical deep dive into Jim McGuinness’s Donegal 2.0?

World soccer body FIFA’s more than a decade-long refusal to implement meaningful reforms and adhere to its own principles, rules, and regulations is on public display.
FIFA’s response to past corruption scandals and willingness to award World Cup hosting rights to violators of the group’s human rights standards illustrate the organisation’s rejection of meaningful change that would hold the group accountable.
So do FIFA’s repeated, mostly cosmetic, reforms aimed at pacifying public and commercial clamouring for change.
The scandals and disregard for FIFA’s Human Rights Policy and Code of Conduct are “only the tip of football’s problem iceberg. An extended troubleshooting list includes antiquated governance structures, growing financial imbalances, and inadequate safeguards for athletes, just to name some of the most pressing issues,” said law professor Jan Zglinski in a recent 26-page academic paper.
Mr. Zglinski argues that, potentially, Europe, a leader in regulating sports, and particularly soccer, as a sector of the economy, could emerge as the sport’s white knight.
