When Russia hosted the World Cup in 2018, it had to suspend normal visa rules for the tournament. Foreigners with tickets could enter visa-free, using a scheme called ‘Fan ID.’
Russia also had to do weird stuff to keep FIFA’s sponsors happy. For example, small shops near Fan Zones and stadiums could only sell Budweiser beer on match days.
So yes, FIFA absolutely does dictate conditions to host governments when it suits FIFA. Infantino pretending otherwise is nonsense.
FIFA could have easily switched referees to ensure Artan could participate in either Canada or Mexico.
But this corrupt clown wouldn’t lift a finger to honor the sport or the players if his life depended on it - much less his pockets.
This entire rotten organization should be dismantled, pulverized and replaced.
Just for a throw in, 3 players had to swap. It was already in extra time too. They waste their time, then cry afterwards.
Just look for yourself.
They waste all the time in the world for these demonic activities 😭😂😂😂

You know what to do ‼️
Trump in 2008: Anyone who invades the Middle East under false pretenses should be impeached.
🇺🇸🧐“AND YOU STILL DARE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH…”
Sasha Legerman: This is too accurate not to share.
This Australian’s response to Trump’s rant that “NATO does nothing for America” is absolutely devastating:
“Mate. You run a country where 600,000 homeless people will sleep on the streets tonight.
A country where 40% of adults can’t cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money.
A country where insulin costs more than a car payment, and people ration it just to stay alive.
A country where medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy.
A country where women die in hospital parking lots because doctors are too afraid of abortion laws to treat miscarriages.
You imprison more of your own citizens than any country on Earth.
More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea.
In the land of the free, 2 million people sit in cages, and a quarter of them haven’t even been convicted of anything.
They’re simply too poor to afford bail.
Your life expectancy is declining. You’re the only developed nation where that’s happening.
Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba’s.
Your children practice active shooter drills between math and English classes while you sell defense stocks to your friends.
Your minimum wage hasn’t changed in 15 years.
Your teachers work two jobs, your veterans sleep under bridges, and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that never attacked you.
And now a convicted criminal — found liable for sexual abuse, defending a pedophile, sleeping with a porn star, and running the biggest dumpster-fire campaign since the Taliban — is thanking you for yet another disaster.
And you call Greenland badly governed?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world.
Nobody there goes bankrupt because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because insurance refused treatment.
‘NATO wasn’t there when we needed them.’
When exactly was that, champ?
September 11?
Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU.
Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU.
Australia wasn’t even in NATO, and we still showed up. For twenty years.
And then you left at 2 a.m. without telling anyone and left everybody else to clean up the mess.
You don’t care that a great nation is being terrorized by your friend, and you haven’t shown it a single ounce of sympathy.
So maybe before calling other countries badly governed, take a look at your own backyard, you aluminum siding salesman with a spray tan.
The only thing badly managed in this picture is your damn mouth.
And you still dare to lecture the rest of the world?”
Gabriel has cheated ALL season
He has bullied players,fouled them consistently & conned other teams out of goals & decisions all year
That Gabriel is the reason Arsenal did not win the Champions League is karma and is a victory for football
Karma is a bitch. As is Gabriel.
On 29/05/1999, a friendly was played in Dublin between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland to raise funds in the aftermath of the Omagh bombing.
The game finished 1-0 to Northern Ireland, the winning goal coming from substitute Danny Griffin.
A priceless joke is now circulating inside Russia that goes like this:
One day, Putin visits a school and gives a speech about how excellent the Russian government is and how Russia is the greatest country in the world.
At the end of the speech, he invites the students to ask questions.
A boy stands up and says:
“Hello, my name is Sasha, and I have two questions.”
Putin replies:
“Alright, go ahead.”
Sasha asks:
“Why did Russia invade Ukraine?
And why haven’t we won the war yet?”
At that exact moment, the lunch bell rings and everyone leaves for lunch.
After lunch, the Q&A session continues and another student stands up.
“Hello, my name is Boris, and I have four questions.”
Putin says:
“Yes?”
Boris asks:
“Why did Russia invade Ukraine?
Why haven’t we won the war?
Why did the lunch bell ring 20 minutes early?
And where is Sasha?”
