There is no shortage of issues regarding FIFA. Let me start by clarifying what some of these are from an FA perspective, in particular that of Jordan going into a World Cup for the first time.
We are a small country with a minimal budget for our FA and had to deal with enormous hurdles. First, getting our fans into the USA: not all were granted VISAS, even though they had tickets -which we also know were sold at exorbitant prices. Secondly, we are being taxed by the US govt through FIFA for our participation. Money that should go to players and staff. This was not the case for those who played and set up camp in Canada and Mexico. But we happened to be in the USA so now we face these huge costs in taxes for having participated.
Thirdly we have been waiting for reward money for our players since December for the Arab cup in Qatar, which is a FIFA event. The money our team should receive for having reached the final has not been delivered yet, while at the same time FIFA brags about how many billions they have in reserve.
It is clear the problem really is with leadership. For months, FIFA has been refusing to help us on any of these or other matters- until it was verbally communicated to me during the World Cup that if I endorsed Infantino it would go a long way to helping our FA out.
We pride ourselves in Jordan in upholding ethical values. We did not endorse him before and certainly will not now. But the whole situation amounts to blackmail and we refuse to give in to that.
Brock Lesnar has officially announced his retirement from the WWE on the @PatMcAfeeShow following his loss to Oba Femi at #SummerSlam this past weekend.
Brock Lesnar shares his plans for post-retirement and says some thank you’s to WWE, TKO, Dana White and more —
“I’ve got some hunting lined-up, and I’ve got two boys in hockey, I’m gonna support that and their dreams as long as that’s feasible, and my daughter, she’s got her eye on 2028 Olympics.
I’m just gonna spend some more time with the kids and in the woods, and just reap what I’ve sown. Just enjoy life.
I spent the last two days in bed, I got run over my a Nigerian Nightmare Dumptruck [Oba Femi] on Saturday night, and it’s time.
I’m 49, and I still want to be able to get around and move, but I’m grateful, very grateful. Oba was great and the WWE Universe. I want to thank the promotion itself, TKO, Dana White, the UFC, the Minnesota Vikings, and the University of Minnesota — everybody that believed-in me and took a chance on me…I’m just grateful.”

@ugmedicalcentre called me every time payment was due but the doctors never once called me to tell me how my mom was doing. In one month they collected about 250k cedis and then told me she caught an infection and died. When she died they called me to tell me I had a balance I had to settle before they could tell me cause of death.
I realized after two weeks at that hospital we wanted to take my mom out and as soon as we told them that and they knew they were about to miss out on some money they told us she couldn’t breath and she needed tubes installed in her so she can’t be moved.
