🚨🗣Steven Gerrard: "this fifa world cup in USA is becoming the worst tournament even before it get started! This is not how it is supposed to be, the weather in the US is terrible for players to play in, and we have news of the Somali referee Omar Artan who was appointed by FIFA denied entry, Iran saying FIFA has withdrawn fans World Cup ticket allocation, couple with funny security checks [Kevin Debruyne Belgium and Senegal players]
"I have to say it again this World Cup is starting to look like a mess, and the tournament hasn't even properly begun yet."
"Usually, before a World Cup, we're talking about the favourites, the star players, and the football. Instead, we're talking about travel problems, ticket controversies, and immigration issues."
"The Omar Artan situation is one of the most disappointing stories I've seen. FIFA selected him because they believed he was good enough to officiate at the World Cup, yet he was denied entry into the United States and will miss the tournament."
"Imagine working your whole life to become the first Somali referee at a World Cup and then being prevented from taking part for reasons completely unrelated to football."
"Then you have Iran's federation saying their allocation of World Cup tickets for supporters was withdrawn just days before the competition. Whether you agree with a government or not, supporters should not be the ones paying the price."
"I've also seen players and delegations complaining about the level of security checks and the delays involved. At some point, people stop feeling welcomed and start feeling like they're being treated as suspects."
"The weather is another concern. We're talking about matches being played in extreme summer conditions. The players are expected to perform at the highest level while dealing with heat that can completely change the rhythm of a game."
"A World Cup should be about bringing the world together. Instead, every day seems to bring another story that has nothing to do with football."
"The worrying thing is that these aren't isolated incidents anymore. When ticket disputes, entry restrictions, and organisational concerns keep appearing, people naturally begin questioning the tournament itself."
"I still hope the football saves the competition because the World Cup is bigger than any host nation. But right now, the headlines aren't making FIFA look good, and they certainly aren't making this look like the celebration of football it was supposed to be."
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.
For the record, Iran did not shoot down the helicopter, and Trump is lying, but the Islamic Republic is more than prepared to teach the Epstein Coalition a lesson.
Two countries, two very different World Cup welcomes
Mexico greets arriving teams with music and dancing
The US hits them with strict security and thorough inspections under blazing sun the moment they step off the plane
🚨 Le COUP DE GUEULE d’Elton Mokolo après l’expulsion des Etats-Unis de l’arbitre somalien, Omar Adbulkadir Artan 🇸🇴 :
« C’est une PAGE NOIRE de cette Coupe du monde 2026.
Il est interrogé pendant 11 HEURES puis BANNI parce qu’il est SOMALIEN. » 🤮
There's no other way around it.
This is an Empire of Piracy World Scam - with absolutely no respect for the sport.
This "Cup" should be simply ignored.

🚀🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump just BOMBED IRAN & targeted the following:
– Sirik naval base
– Jask naval base
– Bandar Abbas AD position
– Minab coastal missile position
– Qeshm coastal missile position
– Qeshm commercial port
If they can hit military targets with such precision, why did they bomb 168 Minab students on Day 1 of this war?
Trump keeps making history. First POTUS…
To be impeached twice
To be convicted of a felony
To be indicted multiple times
To get busted banging porn stars
To be adjudicated as a rapist 
To get booed at an NBA finals game 
#MAGA
🚨|🎙️ Ian Wright has slammed the situation unfolding ahead of the World Cup:
🗣️ “I'm really laughing… but this isn't funny. Tickets are exorbitant, travel costs are high, and visas are being rejected… Is this how a host behaves?” 👀🇺🇸
“We saw how Qatar was criticized… and now? I don't hear a thing!”
🚨BREAKING: A Major Hezbollah Drone Attack Takes Out A Group Of Israeli Soldiers
Israeli media are reporting a “serious security incident” in southern Lebanon, as the injured are being evacuated via helicopter.
Gianni Infantino Must Resign!
Football belongs to the people. It does not belong to politicians. It does not belong to dictators.
Football is supposed to stand for fair play, equality, courage, humanity, and respect. Under his leadership, FIFA has moved further and further away from those values.
When FIFA creates political theatre instead of protecting the soul of the game, football loses.
When FIFA presents a made-up “peace” award to Donald Trump, one of the most divisive political figures in the world, football loses.
When FIFA stays silent or passive about Israel and their participation in FIFA competitions, while innocent civilians suffer, football loses. When federations are treated with double standards, while Muslim nations like Iran or Iraq, African nations, Middle Eastern nations, and smaller football nations are treated as second class members of the global game, football loses.
When FIFA speaks loudly about racism and equality but acts selectively & differently, when power and money are involved, football loses.
The World Cup is one of the most beautiful, historic, and unifying events on earth. It should never be used as a political stage. It should never be turned into a private ceremony for powerful men. It should never be controlled by fear, hypocrisy, or backroom interests.
FIFA’s job is not to serve Donald Trump or USA. FIFA’s job is not to protect governments. FIFA’s job is not to reward power. FIFA’s job is to protect football.
And today, under Gianni Infantino, FIFA is failing that duty. As the President and Owner of Pogoń Szczecin, a club competing proudly within the UEFA and FIFA football family, I believe it is time for FIFA President Gianni Infantino to resign or be removed.
The refusal to apply standards equally, the failure to act with courage, the political posturing, and the selective morality have created a black eye for world football.
Football needs leaders with backbone. Leaders who are not afraid of presidents, governments, sponsors, or political pressure. Leaders who understand that the badge, the flag, the supporters, the players, and the integrity of the game are bigger than any one man.
Gianni Infantino has lost the moral authority to lead world football. For the good of the game, for the credibility of FIFA, and for the millions of people around the world who still believe football can unite humanity, he should resign.
If he will not resign, FIFA’s member associations should find the courage to remove him.
Football and its fans deserve better. The world deserves better. And the game we all love must never be sold, silenced, or humiliated by weak leadership.
