we were told that 2010 was the worst World Cup because it was being held in South Africa, we were told that the World Cups in Russia and Qatar are going to be the worst because they were being held in authoritarian countries.
We were told that USA would be the best host for WC because it is a democracy and has the best NFL stadiums.
All these narratives were set by the media which wanted us to hate on countries which are not in Western hemisphere.
simples: os EUA nunca deveriam sediar um evento desses. nรฃo faz sentido realizar um evento global em um paรญs que discrimina pessoas com base na sua origem
Pitch invading fan incidents happen all the time and 9/10 times it's quite easily handled by the security present. However, for this WC, why do I feel like a pitch invader has the risk of getting shot at first instance by security or ICE personnel?
๐จ ๐ก๐๐ช: During Guatemala vs. Ecuador, a Guatemala fan ran onto the pitch... U.S. police used a lot of force to detain him, with several officers taking him down to the ground aggressively.
Moisรฉs Caicedo stepped in and tried to protect the fan. He then complained and argued with the police over the violent way they handled the situation.
There were ZERO shooting in the Qatar World Cup.
There were ZERO women harassed in the Qatar World Cup.
There were ZERO racial incidents in the Qatar World Cup.
Despite all that, everyone including the German team was protesting.
Where are all those voices now???
Are national teams going to protest over how unsafe America is? If this was Qatar, we wouldnโt hear the end of it. The hypocrisy is pretty hard to ignore.

The Israeli army shot dead a 7-month-old Palestinian baby in the West Bank.
It was in broad daylight.
The father says:
"I stopped as I was instructed to, and then they simply shot at the car."
Israel routinely kills babies - and the West is silent.

A landmark moment for Bangladesh football, first-ever victory on European soil!
Israel yesterday kidnapped four women. Two are footballers in the Palestinian National Team.
Their names are: Natali Abu Dia and Rand Halwani.
Is it normal to kidnap footballers, @FIFAcom? Where are sports media organisations? This story should be the headline everywhere.
@ItsJustJunaid Whole of Central Ldn and North Ldn was packed with their fans, don't let these camera shots fool you. Their fans were out in numbers ngl.
@ItsJustJunaid When you deep all of English commentary media thought he was gonna score. Closely listen to TnT again and listen to Drury's commentary too, they were so shocked when Gabriel missed, because they were half a second away from celebrating. Makes it so sweet they all got proven wrong
@Tw1ttersteven Bro he's so overhyped and because he has such a good team around him, it's overlooked how crap he is. He's pace and power merchant and has awful touches/control on the ball, it's why he fails with so many chances. He's just fast, that's it.
Be humble or you'll become a meme yourself, nah this guy deserves it then. You can't chat with so much arrogance and then when your team lose, you're crying yourself ๐๐ญ
There was a chance to get him while he was at Benfica, but Man Utd's recruitment team weren't serious enough back then and PSG were, so they ended up getting him. There's no way he leaves a double UCL winning side for anyone else rn. His value has only gone up now too.
Rather than pay over ยฃ100m for Elliot Anderson, Man United should go to Paris and negotiate whatever PSG wants for Joao Neves. Playing with Bruno Fernandes in the PL could be a factor to lure him too
That lad is the Portuguese Ngolo Kante, with a touch of Modric and heโs just 21yrs old.
