🚨 WORST @FIFAcom PRESIDENT OF ALL TIME: INFANTINO SILENT AS US HUMILIATES AFRICA
Gianni Infantino selected Omar Abdulkadir Artan — Africa's top referee and first Somali at a World Cup — then watched US authorities deny him entry at the border despite diplomatic passport and approved visa. Turned back like trash. No reason. No fight.
Where is your voice, Infantino?
You preach "global football" and "unity" while selling out African officials to US border politics. This isn't leadership — it's cowardice and betrayal of the game.
You are proving every day why you are the worst FIFA president in history. Africa will not forget this disgrace.
Stand up or step down.
This is the largest sporting event on the planet, despite what some Americans may believe, and the decision to prevent Africa's leading referee from participating in the World Cup sends an extraordinarily damaging message about the United States and the direction in which it is heading.
I am genuinely astonished that FIFA has not lodged a formal protest with the United States Government and sought intervention to ensure that this referee, who is held in the highest regard within the international refereeing community, is granted a visa to undertake one of the most important roles in world football. For any referee, appointment to a World Cup is among the greatest honours the sport can bestow.
A person's country of birth should never be the sole reason for preventing them from entering a country to carry out a specific professional duty at a specific international event. Particularly when the President of the United States publicly assured the world that participants would be welcomed.
If nationality alone has been the determining factor, then this is a serious stain upon both the tournament and the host nation. It raises profound questions about fairness, equality of treatment and whether political considerations are now taking precedence over sporting merit.
The World Cup is supposed to bring nations together. Decisions such as this achieve precisely the opposite.
Where is your voice,Infantino?
As African players,referees,Journalists and fans are humiliated. World Cup is supposed to Unite according to FIFA slogan.
You preach "global football" and "unity" why are people suffering because US border politics?
Stand up or step down.
Mayor Mamdani criticizes Trump admin for handling of the World Cup, travel restrictions & visa denials for teams & others.
“The World Cup is supposed to be a celebration of the world as a whole… this is anathema to what this tournament is supposed to be about.”
Dear the BBC Politics.
I think I can safely speak for approx 89.43% of the UK population when I tell you that Zia Yusuf is not wanted on our TV screens. Again.
He's an unelected party donor using up a seat that could be offered to a credible alternative.
Angela Rayner - £40k underpaid stamp duty - repaid. Lost jobs in Cabinet and Dep. PM.
Peter Murrell - £400k theft from SNP - going to prison
Huge coverage of both
Nigel Farage - £5m undeclared bung (possibly more) - goes to ground for a month.
Media coverage? You judge.
Huge 'Raise the Colours' march in Shrewsbury captured by a small child's drone. Police confirm there were no arrests (they were too busy laughing) and estimate numbers attending in the 20's. Please don't share, it will upset flag shagging simpletons, who will just shout fake news. 😂
You now know why America under Trump is considered as a joke. 🤦🏻♂️🇺🇸
RFK Jr: “Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism.”
Trump: “I've studied this a long time.”
Thank you to the @DailyMail for their help with my campaign. 🙏🏻
Yes I do think we should tax landowners who allow their land to be turned into illegal waste dumps, like Bickershaw. 👍🏻
Funny. I thought it was morally wrong for Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive worth more than $800 billion, to eliminate humanitarian aid that will cause 4.5 million of the poorest kids on the planet to die in the next 4 years.
When you became a Councillor just by convincing the gullible that everything is the fault of immigrants. Then you find out that you need to actually do something other than put up flags, sing the national anthem and say the Lord’s Prayer.
