The World Cup is starting right now.
The genocide in Gaza continues. The carpet-bombing of Lebanon continues.
The runners of the World Cup are the same people behind these atrocities.
The choice is yours.
Let your humanity prevail over your instant gratification. It matters more.
Aku dah beberapa tahun berenti tengok bola secara serius. Piala Dunia Qatar dulu aku tak tengok, USA pun aku takde rancangan nak ambil tahu. Aku okey je. Dulu aku ingat mati kalau tak tengok bola, rupanya aku okey je
🚨BREAKING: Didier Drogba says if the USA didn't want other Countries citizens in the US they shouldn't have bid for the Fifa world cup 2026 and says denial of Iran supporters and Somali referee Omar Artan is totally unacceptable, Football should be separated from politics
"When a country bids to host the biggest football tournament on the planet, it knows exactly what comes with it. Players, referees, officials and supporters from every corner of the world are part of the package."
"I look at the situation involving Somali referee Omar Artan and I feel disappointed for him. FIFA selected him because he earned that opportunity on merit, yet he was unable to participate after being denied entry."
"Then you hear about Iran's football federation claiming that its supporter ticket allocation was withdrawn just days before the tournament. If true, that leaves ordinary fans paying the price for issues that have nothing to do with football."
"The people suffering are not politicians. They're supporters who save money for years hoping to follow their national team at a World Cup."
"Football has always been one of the few things capable of bringing different cultures together. The moment politics starts deciding who gets to be part of that experience, everyone loses."
"I played in World Cups and international tournaments. The beauty of those events is seeing supporters from dozens of countries sharing the same streets, the same stadiums and the same passion."
"No fan should be judged because of their nationality, and no referee should miss the biggest moment of his career because of political circumstances beyond his control."
"FIFA, governments and football authorities need to find solutions because the headlines right now are about visas, travel restrictions and disputes instead of the football itself."
"The World Cup should belong to the world. That's what makes it special. The game must always come first, and politics should never be allowed to overshadow football's greatest celebration."
Qatar said it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from, you can come to the World Cup, just don’t drink alcohol at the stadium.
USA said you can’t come. Who you are or where you come from matters. We’ll decide who can and can’t participate. This isn’t a sport for everyone.
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???

The US, a World Cup host, denied 15 visas to officials on Iran's football team.
If this were Russia, they'd have been stripped of hosting it after what they've done in Gaza, Lebanon, Iran.
