Did America not realise that the ‘soccer’ World Cup would involve people from all over the world visiting?

Is it the Baseball ‘World Series’ that has confused them?

[Melissa Reddy @MelissaReddy_]

Gianni Infantino in 2017, talking about the bidding process for 2026 with particular reference to the travel bans the US had in place then:

“Teams who qualify for a World Cup need to have access to the country, otherwise there is no World Cup. That is obvious.

“We are now in the process of defining the bid requirements. In the world there are many countries who have bans, travel bans, visa requirements and so on and so forth. It’s obvious when it comes to FIFA competitions, any team, including the supporters and officials of that team, who qualify for a World Cup need to have access to the country, otherwise there is no World Cup.

“The requirements will be clear. And then each country can make up their decision, whether they want to bid or not based on the requirements.”

[Fetty Waf 🪼 @Wafunya]

The World Cup is about to expose just how a shithole of a country the USA is.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

In tiny Albania, over a hundred thousand people have been in the streets against an environmentally disastrous luxury resort planned by Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and his Qatari billionaire partners.

This is what global oligarchy looks like — and the people are saying NO.

so instead of showing the world cup opening ceremony i expect the bbc crew to give everyone watching a lecture about ethics and human rights like they did in 2022

Excessive Borrowing Without Accountability: Further Affirmation of Imprudent Governance.

President Bola Tinubu's administration has engaged in remarkably imprudent borrowing, escalating Nigeria's total debt to approximately N200 trillion. This represents an increase of over N100 trillion within a mere three years, a stark contrast to the roughly N49 trillion accumulated during President Muhammadu Buhari's eight-year tenure, which would have projected to around N80 trillion. As millions of Nigerians grapple with the shock of this unsustainable debt accumulation, the situation is exacerbated by the government's reckless approach to borrowing and a profound absence of accountability and transparency in the utilisation of these funds.

For instance, data from the Federation's Budget Office reveals that the Bola Tinubu government borrowed N11.89 trillion in the first three quarters of 2025 (January to September), exceeding the planned borrowing target of N10.34 trillion by approximately N1.54 trillion. Under a responsible and accountable government, such an overshoot would necessitate rigorous scrutiny and explanation from relevant governmental bodies. Regrettably, this is not the reality under the current administration.

Compounding this issue, only N3.10 trillion of the borrowed funds was allocated to capital expenditure during the same January-September 2025 period. This constitutes a mere 17.66% of the N17.58 trillion earmarked for capital projects, leaving a deficit of roughly N14.48 trillion, or 82.34% of planned capital expenditure unfunded.

The most disturbing aspect of the financial management fiasco under Bola Tinubu is that there is no explanation or information regarding how the balance was utilised or deployed. The question that Nigerians are rightly asking and deserve an answer to is what happened to the balance? Was it deployed for recurrent expenditure/ consumption, for the entertainment of guests to Aso Rock or transferred to the Renewed Hope Agenda 2027 Election Campaign Fund? Nigerians deserve an answer on how our economy and resources are most unpatriotically managed.

A New and Productive Nigeria is POssible, and Nigeria will be OK!

Brilliant news and not a moment too soon! 👇🏼

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

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.

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

Big up, Uncle Ian Wright for speaking up, and he's 100% correct.

Look how Qatar got dragged when they were hosting the World Cup.

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

Strangely, I haven't seen the op-eds and pearl clutching from the Western media about the U.S. hosting the World Cup that I did when Qatar hosted it.

[Ethan Levins 🇺🇸 @EthanLevins2]

All these years, they fed us Russian, Chinese, Iranian, propaganda when it was actually Israel.

[Craig Murray @CraigMurrayOrg]

I am relieved that Iran has finally fired back at Israel.

The impunity with which Israel constantly violates the ceasefires in Lebanon and Gaza has to end.

Iran is standing up for all of humanity against the zionist supremacists.

World Cup referee - Africa's best - is denied entry to United States and sent back after landing at Miami Airport, despite having a diplomatic passport https://t.co/2JPP5NpJpT

Oil producers - minimum wage - gas price

Iran — $245 — $0.15
Libya — $325 — $0.25
Algeria — $150 — $0.35
Canada — $2100 — $1.50

Nigeria — $45 — $2

I could list 100 countries, including countries at war, & they have everything cheaper than Nigeria. Pls vote Tinubu in 2027. 🙏

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

iran is the only country on the planet willing to stop israel's expansion, this is the reason why israel wants to get the us to try and destroy iran.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

This war has been humiliating for Trump and American power generally. And when Trump announces he is going to call Netanyahu and tell him not to retaliate, and within hours Netanyahu retaliates, the humiliation just compounds.

[Othell Yarwyck @bigbrovar]

Suddenly all the people who cared about human rights when Russia and Qatar hosted the world cup and suddenly quiet. .. No fancy documentary from the BBC on immigrants rights. No expose on Crime in inner cities (as we saw in South Africa)

Just silence.
