🇯🇴 | “Dai Dai” by Shakira & Burna Boy reaches a new peak of #1 in Jordan on Anghami, the biggest streaming platform in the Middle East.
— With Iraq, Lebanon, Oman, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Yemen, it becomes the seventh Arab country where the song has reached the top spot.
If Africa's top referee is inadmissible in America, who qualifies? Many are calling it racism.
Somali referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan was denied entry into the US "due to vetting concerns" even though he had a 3-month multiple entry visa and was traveling on a diplomatic passport
@De_socerer@NigeriaStories Fake sir keep quiet. It is not your fault that you lack thinking ability, the contour on your head might be the problem. Please get it sorted.
Ian Wright is an absolute hero for saying how we all feel about this World Cup…
“I've just read that the Somalian referee has been denied entry. Every few hours it's another story, another story about fans denied, players denied, officials denied, journalists denied, now refs," Wright said.
"You know something I'm laughing but it's not funny, it's actually not funny and something has to be said.
"The expensive tickets, the most expensive tickets ever, expensive accommodation, transport through the roof. It has to be said.
"Is this how the hosts behave really for the greatest game, the greatest tournament in the world, is this how the hosts behave?
"Are we not hearing more? Are we seeing how Qatar got dragged, are we not hearing more? Is this the spirit of football, really?
"You know who I feel for? I feel for the American fans who are desperate for this, American soccer fans who are desperate for this, how embarrassed they must be. How embarrassing for them this must be.
"This is the World Cup, this is a World Cup of chaos. Whoever wins this World Cup is going to have to go through some serious chaos to get this done.
"I hope we can do it, but something has to be said now. This is the World Cup."
Referee of the Year, Omar Artan, banned from US World Cup because he's Somali - will there be consequences for this racist US policy? No. Will FIFA take a stance? No Will there be outpouring of outrage like for Qatar's human rights violations? No. Ian Wright is spot on.
