France vs Brazil, 2006 FIFA World Cup. ๐ซ๐ท๐ง๐ท
A World Cup masterclass from Zinedine Zidane.
Zidane dazzled, Henry scored, and France outclassed a star-studded Brazil side to reach the semifinals.
As much as heโs correct, Qatar is a totally unfair comparison. As badly organised as this World Cup is it hasnโt caused 6,500 migrant worker deaths
This is fine, a connection to the WC26 should not guarantee entry
Canada, US, and Mexico have already bent over backwards to accommodate FIFA
FIFAโs security standards are far too weak for a Country
And small international organization do not control a countries sovereignty
This should be the last time that America ever hosts a major international tournament - in any sport. The International Olympic committee should be watching very carefully for LA 2028
For context, Trump wasn't even president then which confirms my previous tweet that it's an American thing that would have happened anyways
America should never put in a bid to host the tournament again, the funny thing is that when the game starts, we will all forget
This is probably going to be the first world Cup in my lifetime where everyone will be rooting against the host nation and will celebrate when they get knocked out
People get denied visas for life-changing opportunities like scholarships, jobs, and immigration programs every day because of the passports they hold or the countries they come from. If governments are willing to draw the line there, why would anyone expect the World Cup to be the exception?
The reality is that visa restrictions and refusals have always existed. A major sporting event doesnโt automatically override a countryโs immigration policies.
The funny thing is that America has always been like this on immigration, people from first World countries don't know because it was never an issue for them
Trump making it his identity also intensified it and made people aware
So basically we could have situations where a team could be missing players because of America's immigration
Why not just reject hosting the tournament entirely if you're going to do this?
Mbappe, it's not about trophies
It's that "je ne sais quoi" factor that Mbappe has, dembele doesn't have it.
It's hard to explain, you either have it or you don't
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
Youโre hosting the biggest global sporting event in the world. If you donโt want people from all parts of the world entering the country, donโt bid for the WORLD CUP.
