A full-grown man with a childlike fanaticism for the world's greatest football club #HalaMadrid | A New Zimbabwe and independent Palestine 🇵🇸 in our lifetime
This is probably a good time to remind everyone that @FIFAcom is the most corrupt organization in the history of mankind.
It’s basically the U. S. Congress on a global scale.
Qatar 🇶🇦 was a special World Cup
Qatar even allowed Israeli journalists to cover FIFA World Cup 2022 despite not even recognizing Israel as a country
They behaved soberly unlike what we are witnessing in the US even players,fans and Journalists being denied visas
@soka25east
Malgré son accrédition officielle et son visa, le photographe de la délégation irakienne 🇮🇶, Talal Salah, a été obligé de quitter le territoire américain et repartir en Irak (avec plusieurs correspondances évidemment)
Comme le dit Gianni Infantino #FootballUnitesTheWorld
Si Hitler hubiera aplicado las condiciones que está aplicando Donald Trump a la selección de fútbol de Irán, Jesse Owens no hubiera ganado ninguna medalla en los Juegos Olímpicos de Berlín
This weekend’s issues with visas over Iran and related stories reveal something else about the Infantino-Trump relationship that weighs over this World Cup - despite the cozying, the Trump administration have helped Fifa with almost nothing

Qatar allowed Israeli journalists into the 2022 World Cup despite not even recognising Israel as a state.
Meanwhile, the USA is hosting a World Cup where fans from multiple countries face visa restrictions, travel bans or huge entry hurdles, and even some qualified teams have had officials denied entry.
Yet remind me again which host nation spent years getting lectured by Western media about inclusivity and the “spirit of football”?
🚨🇮🇷 NEW: Iran's World Cup squad has been notified they must enter and leave US soil on the same day of their matches played in the United States
All of Iran’s group stage games are in the US
- 15th June - 🇳🇿 New Zealand
- 21st June - 🇧🇪 Belgium
- 26th June - 🇪🇬 Egypt
Quand on se souvient des appels au boycott de la Coupe du Monde au Qatar, on se demande où sont passés tous les moralistes alors que les Etats-Unis bafouent toutes les règles de la FIFA!
Ils s’en prennent aux joueurs, aux staffs, aux journalistes, aux supporters! Et Infantino qui en avait plein la bouche au moment de remettre un scandaleux prix de la paix à Trump, il est très très silencieux devant de telles exactions ! #CDM2026 #FIFAWORLDCUP
Iraqi Footballer Wonders About America Hostilities
“Why is America hosting the World Cup if it is so hostile to foreign nationals?,” Aymen Hussein, Iraq’s star footballer, wondered after he was detained and interrogated for seven hours at a US border before being allowed entry.
Imagine Qatar in 2022 held an American or English player for seven hours at the airport.
The tournament would be immediately cancelled and taken to a different country.
This competition is going to be the worst ever. Ever.
