If you think California is taking a while to count votes, wait until you hear how long the Trump Administration is taking to release the Epstein files…
FIFA has punished countries before for not granting visas but since Infantino is Trump’s pet, now they’re pretending to be powerless as this administration makes a mockery of the tournament
Iranian Football Federation announces the 8% ticket quota allocated to Iran has been revoked by the U.S., leaving the federation currently unable to distribute tickets to supporters.
A case study in political interference, discrimination and FIFA looking the other way.
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.

So far at the 2026 FIFA Epstein Cup before a ball kicked:
- Senegal & Uzbekistan squads treated like criminals upon arrival given full cavity searches;
- Africa’s best referee sent back to Somalia despite having a diplomatic passport;
- Iraq team photographer sent back despite valid visa;
- AIPS (international sport journalist association) calling on FIFA to sort out unacceptable visa issues of African & Iranian journalists;
- 90% of Moroccan fans with tickets denied entry
- 14 members of Iran backroom staff denied visas
Not a word from Gianni ”today I feel black/gay/disabled etc” Infantino.
FIFA confirm Omar Abdulkadir Artan can’t officiate at the World Cup after being denied entry into the United States.
🗣️ “FIFA is not involved in host country immigration processes, including visa adjudications, and has been informed by authorities that Mr Artan's status will not be changed at present.
“In line with previous FIFA events, a host government ultimately determines who receives a visa and who is admitted into their country.”
I won’t lie, the sweetest part about Arsenal winning the EPL is that we won it against Pep Guardiola and his arrogant players
Dunking in their heads for Pep to pack his bags and leave is the sweetest part. Thank you Mikel Arteta
🗣️| Carlos Cuesta on Mikel Arteta: “A lot of people can see how incredible he is, and the only thing I can say is that he's even better than what people see. When you know him day to day, only then can you understand that he's even better. He's an incredible human being, leader and coach.” [BBC] #afc
