To be honest South Africa has zero confidence on the ball, in this instance they are attacking, Mexico is running towards their goal keeper, why not hold on to the ball and keep pressing till one player commits, eliminate and look for who is openπππWHY????
What has happened at the 2026 World Cup over the last 48 hours:
Β Β β’ Swiss footballer Embolo's visa was put under review and he was only able to join his team days later.
β’ Iraqi national team player Aymen Hussein was held for questioning for nearly 7 hours upon entering the United States.
β’ The Iranian national team spent days dealing with visa procedures at the U.S. Consulate in TΓΌrkiye. The U.S. only allowed them entry on match days. Fifteen members of the delegation were denied visas.
β’ Omar Abdulkadir Artan, named CAF's Best African Referee of 2025, was denied a visa. Despite travelling to the U.S. with a diplomatic passport, he was refused entry and sent back. FIFA announced that he will not be able to officiate at the tournament.
β’ The South African national team arrived in the United States much later than planned because part of the delegation was not granted visas.
β’ Members of the Senegal national team staff were forced to remove their shoes and subjected to lengthy searches, sparking accusations of racism.
β’ The Uzbekistan national team was searched with bomb-sniffing dogs and the footage went viral in international media.
β’ Some Scottish supporters, despite being eligible to enter the U.S. visa-free under the ESTA programme, had their travel authorisations revoked just days before departure.
β’ Many supporters who had already bought tickets and booked accommodation had their visa applications rejected, resulting in financial losses.
FIFA FAILED ALREADY
Netanyahu, accused of war crimes against Palestinian and Lebanese children, gets the red carpet in the US.
But professional footballers and delegations from Iran, Senegal, Uzbekistan, and other Global South nations? Treated like criminals.
Senegal's players: Humiliating tarmac searches, bag inspections, invasive screenings right after landing.
Uzbekistan: Sniffer dogs, metal detectors, equipment torn apart at training venues.
Iran: 13+ staff denied visas, fans stripped of their 8% ticket quota after spending life savings. Teams shuttling from Mexico.
This isn't security. This is geopolitical malice disguised as "protocol." The same US shielding a leader drenched in civilian blood now turns the World Cup β football's global festival β into a border nightmare for athletes from countries that refuse to bow.
Professional sportsmen who trained their whole lives, representing millions, reduced to suspects because of their passport. Fans locked out. The beautiful game sacrificed on the altar of sanctions and supremacy.
Where's the outrage from FIFA? Where's the unity they preach? The empire picks winners and humiliates the rest.
Football belongs to the world, not Washington's approved list.
π | FIFA | Russia must take legal action against this man and impose sanctions on him for destroying people's football careers.
If he suddenly knows that politics should never be mixed with sports; why did he ban Russian players then in 2022?
What an evil, horrible person.
If this appears on your timeline kindly repost until this family is arrested & held accountable for their actions! A female student from the University of the Free State was physically attacked by a family in Bloemfontein while conducting her practical teaching at a nearby school
@MbalulaFikile Shut up Mbalula, you're the last person to be saying anything about a disaster President, you have your own disaster President of the ANC and the country and you have never seen anything wrong with his leadership.
Lt Gen ADV Simo W Chamane with other generals gave a Cat Matlala tender to take the money for themselves as kick backs. How much was this tender was actually worth.
We need to reposrt him stop never practice as ADV. He is a thug
The NPA has rejected arguments from Malema's legal team with regards to his 5 year jail sentence.
Looks like Mbungulu will watch the Bafana Bafana v Mexico soccer match from a small TV in Kgosi Mampuru prison tonight ππ
βNo one is more official than the referee, and if a country refuses to allow a referee in, the World Cup should not be held in such a country.β Joseph Sepp Blatter Former FIFA President
