@JAndrewJ86 @KBSPosts @tomfgoodwin Doesn’t seem that different to a 4 way stop sign? You just cross further up the street

É a Copa mais bizarra da história. Ou pelo menos da era moderna, com certeza.

Nem na ditadura catari foi feito isso. Nem na Rússia de Putin.

Mas vai ter gente querendo justificar o injustificável, passando pano. Só porque é nos Estados Unidos.

Fifa rendida ao dinheiro.

@TheMakda You rate the service, not the content of the call

Qatar said it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from, you can come to the World Cup, just don’t drink alcohol at the stadium.

USA said you can’t come. Who you are or where you come from matters. We’ll decide who can and can’t participate. This isn’t a sport for everyone.

South Africa, Germany and other recent #WorldCup hosts were forced by FIFA to promise all accredited officials, players and staff would be guaranteed visas and minimal immigration interference for the tournament duration.

Why is the United States exempt from that @FIFAcom?

FIFA confirm Omar Abdulkadir Artan can’t officiate at the World Cup after being denied entry into the United States.

The Somali referee is one of Africa’s most respected officials. Somalia's Ministry of Youth and Sports say Artan travelled with a valid US visa.

Yet Somalia is on a travel ban list introduced by President Trump’s administration.

🗣️ “FIFA is not involved in host country immigration processes, including visa adjudications, and has been informed by authorities that Mr Artan's status will not be changed at present.

“In line with previous FIFA events, a host government ultimately determines who receives a visa and who is admitted into their country.”

🚨JUST IN: The International Sports Press Association has told FIFA that "many" Iranian and African journalists have been denied visas to cover the World Cup in America

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

With just a few days before the Men’s World Cup kicks off, thousands of fans from around the world risk being shut out of one of the biggest sporting events on the planet.

Many have waited a long time and saved to pursue their dream of seeing their nations compete in the tournament. Instead of cheering from the stands, many are facing travel bans, visa denials, and threats of aggressive immigration enforcement from the US.

With several participating countries subject to a US travel ban, and ongoing racial profiling and arbitrary arrests by ICE and other federal agencies, the country’s draconian immigration policies threaten to spill over into an event that is meant to bring people together - not tear us apart.

The World Cup belongs to us all. There is no World Cup without the world.

Humanity Must Win.

🇺🇸 ESTADOS UNIDOS HUMILLA A UZBEKISTÁN 🇺🇿😳

Lo ocurrido a la llegada de Uzbekistán al Icahn Stadium de Nueva York ha generado una enorme polémica.

La selección asiática fue sometida a un protocolo de seguridad nunca antes visto para un simple partido amistoso. Revisiones exhaustivas, controles desproporcionados y un trato que muchos califican como degradante para una delegación internacional.

El momento más tenso llegó cuando un oficial de seguridad le gritó al utilero uzbeko: “¡ALÉJESE DE LOS BOLSOS!”.

Jamás se había visto una requisa de esta magnitud contra una selección visitante en territorio estadounidense.

Una escena que ha provocado indignación y que muchos consideran una falta de respeto hacia Uzbekistán.

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

This was the security protocol the Uzbekistan national team went through upon their arrival at the stadium for their friendly against the Netherlands tonight…

@martinkem @wayne_m159 The US considers the entire brand luxury. Europe considers certain models luxury, the brand may be generally premium but caters across segments.

@MLife78707 @Timmetie @ChiefTeef8 I agree, we’re saying the same thing. They never said the VPN uncensored it. They’re simply saying the US news is “censored” by their own media corporations, in comparison to international news reports. The VPN aspect is irrelevant.

[Abinayan @_abinayan]

@MLife78707 @Timmetie @ChiefTeef8 I don’t think they mean directly ‘censored’, I think they mean they used a VPN to see news in other countries that the US is not reporting on, or reporting differently - thereby indirectly “censored”

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

The difference is by design.

@JordanEVGuy It was always optional. The issue is that most councils didn’t offer incentives to make it necessary.
