You cannot whitewash conduct that violates FIFA regulations and breaches the United States’ host obligations merely by praising yourselves.
Why do you not say that visas were denied to a large portion of the managerial and executive staff, technical advisers, and others who are an integral part of any national football team?
You have now escalated the deliberate and discriminatory treatment against Iran’s national football team to its highest level.
By extending your whimsical hostilities against the Iranian nation into the realm of sport, the U.S. government in practice is depriving Iran’s national team of its right to play in the World Cup under normal conditions and without undue pressure and stress.
This represents the worst possible form of politically biased interference in sport.
FIFA must hold the US accountable for violations of its rules and for the discriminatory treatment of Iran's national football team.
But not several members of the team staff, and even then they were only given their visas 10 days before the start of the competition.
Fans from Iran, Haiti, Senegal, and Ivory Coast outright forbidden to attend.
Worst host in the history of the World Cup.
Now they are not allowed to stay overnight on US soil and have to enter on the match day. Clear bullying.
FIFA must step in and stop this mockery of World Cup
They're presenting the granting of visas as some kind of generous move. It's your obligation as hosts to grant visas, in fact if anything you've failed to uphold your obligations as hosts by waiting this long to grant visas and creating other limitations for the Iranian team.
IRAQ football STAR Aymen Hussein INTERROGATED for 7 HOURS
Held and questioned before being allowed into US for World Cup
‘Why America hosting World Cup if so hostile to foreign nationals?’
The incompetent @FIFAWorldCup host, USA, is failing to fulfill its responsibilities properly.
We are guests of @FIFAcom, and it is FIFA’s responsibility to ensure that visas for all members are issued.

genuine question, why does a train line or a new park have to go thru years of votes and environmental impact studies but something like this can just? happen?
This is NOT a failure for the state of Illinois. Stop. Giving. Billionaires. Handouts.
The lawmakers in Indiana are happy to sell out their taxpayers for a stadium that doesn’t bear their name and won’t ever recoup the millions they’ll spend to build and maintain it.
Like, man, Indiana is getting SCREWED.
If they move to Indiana, the Bears would keep ALL revenue generated by the stadium and have the option to buy back the stadium in 40 years, after Indiana taxpayers have paid off the bonds. 
I’ll say it until I’m blue in the face, taxpayers should not have to kick in a dime on these stadium projects. If you can’t afford to build one as an owner, maybe you shouldn’t own the team.
This is how zionists and zionist supporters should keep getting treated in public btw. Because normalizing zionism is part of the propaganda, he should not be able to work in Europe ever again.
