When a football claim goes viral — an injury, a lineup, a stat — we rate how true it is, show the source, and lock our call in before the match settles it. Then we publicly grade whether we were right. Don't be first. Be the place people check.
Got a football claim? Tag @FactsNotTakes and say "verify" on any post — yours or a reply. We check it and reply.
Every claim, tiered and timestamped before the result, with the source. We grade ourselves after. This is the calibration record — append-only, never edited.
First facts. Not first takes.
PressInstant is a real-time fact desk for the 2026 World Cup. We monitor live match data, verify every claim against tier-one sources before publishing, and log every call we make - right or wrong - in a public record.
Our trust hierarchy: T1 confirmed by primary source · T2 credible single source · T3 rumor (labeled) · T4 contradicted. Nothing publishes below T2.
Live events from ESPN/Opta data. Claims verified before posting. Wrong calls never deleted - the record is the point.
