The USA has just withdrawn ALL the World Cup tickets supplied to Iran, meaning that none of their supporters will be able to attend their games.
Donald Trump is banning Referees and banning supporters, he is trying to fix the World Cup.
The USA have to be disqualified.
We should just sign either or both of Lamine Camara and Mamdou Sanghare. Both would cost a reasonable price. Instead of the inflated prices for. Alex Scott or Wharton. #YNWA#lfc@TheMiyazakiMan whats your thoughts on this. Do we need both? We should sell Jones first
@TheMiyazakiMan I agree, Endo and Gomez would be last to sell as both provide good experience cover in multiple positions. The difficulty is knowing how many players are they looking to recruit. New players will need to play and we cant have players on the side without playing.
I'd sell the following players and get enough money to rebuild the whole squad.
Gakpo
Jones
Macca
Endo
Gomez
Chiesa
Some of the above players I like but would sell.
Could this happen? #LFC@TheMiyazakiMan
What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.
The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.

@AnfieldEdition@davidlynchlfc@AnfieldIndex I'd have him on the left instead of Gakpo. The way Nunez likes to play we never played to his strength. Release the ball early to him and let him go ham. Yes he will miss chances but so does Gakpow. He will give a lot more. He is less selfish and can also set up others too.
This is clear discrimination and political interference in sport. No team should be made to compete under conditions no other country would ever accept.
FIFA has a lot to answer for.
No country should be allowed to host the World Cup while imposing discriminatory rules on qualified and participating teams.
This ought to be a very basic requirement.
The USA finally gave Visa's to Iran's football team yesterday, but it hasn't given any to their training staff.
If FIFA wasn't corrupt it would tell Donald Trump that the USA will be disqualified if he doesn't stop unfairly rigging the competition.
Suddenly all the people who cared about human rights when Russia and Qatar hosted the world cup and suddenly quiet. .. No fancy documentary from the BBC on immigrants rights. No expose on Crime in inner cities (as we saw in South Africa)
Just silence.
There were ZERO shooting in the Qatar World Cup.
There were ZERO women harassed in the Qatar World Cup.
There were ZERO racial incidents in the Qatar World Cup.
Despite all that, everyone including the German team was protesting.
Where are all those voices now???
Norway said that they are not going to play in World Cup in Qatar even if they qualified (they didn’t). Denmark left it until the last minute to confirm their participation in the World Cup 2022Germany forced their players to make political statements before the match in FIFA WC 2022 even though some players didn’t want to do it.
BBC literally disrupted the coverage of one of the best opening ceremonies of the World Cup in Qatar just for virtue signaling.
but for World Cup 2026, the whole media is silent other than a few token articles here and there and Norway and Germany aren’t protesting anything when there’s so much to protest about 🤡
