@ofentse_thegoat As a white guy, fuck them. There is 1 team i am supporting this WC, and that's Bafana Bafana. I dont care who wins the WC i just want our kasi flavour on the world stage
And FIFA literally ran South Africa as soon as the bid was successful. Way before 2010, they were on South African soil, running things. Then Secretary General, Jerôme Valcke was like a Prime Minister...running the show and exerting FIFA's rules. South Africa co-operated FULLY because the first World Cup on African soil HAD to succeed. And it did!
ITV News and the BBC referred to Omar Artan as a “Somali refugee” and “Somalia’s top refugee” instead of correctly identifying him as a professional referee.
They’re shamelessly pushing a narrative about a man who was travelling for work
@Johnny_Takes11 I think the fact that you're trying to clarify something that is mind boggling to everyone. Maybe I am a touch argumentative. But I remember before SA hosted 2010 all the doom and gloom and people saying we didn't deserve to host because we're African. We hate double standards
@drogbaregenn@dhillusinghjatt@jamesbenge No no, Arsenal are big Zios. They fired their kit man for speaking uo about Palestine. A man who had been there for 25 years+
@Johnny_Takes11 I get you trying to stand up for your country. But bro this is one of those times you gotta accept its your country that is backwards. Part of agreeing to host the WC is accepting people from everywhere will becoming. A WC with no fans is boring. You want the world to show up
@Johnny_Takes11@BradD80@SomaliaFooty Nope wrong again, the Somali embassy in Kenya gave him a diplomatic passport. But you're too racist to understand. Just know you lr cuntry is doing enormous damage to its own reputation internationally.
@Johnny_Takes11 So in 2010, when South Africa hosted our world cup, part of hosting is was giving concessions to people participating and coming to support. Now what is gonna happen next year with the Olympics? Where there are more sporting codes, more athletes, more coaches? Its ALL FUCKED
@Johnny_Takes11 A somali who is a professional ref and the best ref in Africa is an issue? Also if you don't want player, managers, back of house staff and fans coming to your country dont fucking bid to host a WORLD CUP. ya know, where nearly 1/4 of the countries in the world are coming???
Absolutely NO evidence of this by the way. Never been flagged up in any other country he’s attended.
They’ve seen that it was a PR disasterclass, they’re desperate to save face now. Throwing stuff at the wall and hoping it sticks.
Lowest of the low behaviour on show here.
@BradD80@Johnny_Takes11@SomaliaFooty He had been approved for a visa originally you dense mother fucker. Also you haven't provided a source. Also the "terrorist connection" happened long after he was denied entry twice. WHY GIVE HIM A VISA IN THE FIRST PLACE?
@clownboss_@maisonlongan Yeah and there have been many fans saying for many years that he shouldn't be playing. Blame that on Arsenal for protecting him.
