🚨EMBARRASSING DISASTER AT SOUTH KOREA'S TRAINING SESSION!
A careless slip-up exposed a private conversation between two reporters covering the national team's practice.
While watching Heung-min Son's intense physical drills, one of them fired off a jab: "Why's he running like he's leading a military platoon? Does he think he's in the army?"
The comeback was even more controversial: "He didn't even complete his military service. These idiots know nothing about the army."
🎙️ Both had their mics on, and everything was caught on the broadcast. 😭
Incorrect. He had a visa. From the US Embassy in Nairobi. It was valid. They vetted him there, and gave him a visa.
Then he landed in Miami, was detained for 11 hours, and deported to Istanbul.
THEN they branded him a terrorist.
A FIFA referee, simply because he’s Somali.
I am deeply grateful for the overwhelming support, encouragement, and kind messages I have received from people around the world. Your solidarity has reminded me that football unites us beyond borders. Thank you to everyone.
This is utter bullshit. When Indonesia refused to grant the Israeli under 17 team visa’s for the 2023 U-20 World Cup, FIFA stripped Indonesia’s hosting rights and moved it to Argentina. So @FIFAcom can stop with the lies.
*Russia banned from football for attacking Ukraine*
*USA, host of the World Cup, bombs Iran for over a month, kills its Supreme Leader and refuses to let the Iranian team stay even one night in the country*
FIFA President:
Hi darling @ToniKroos
You spent months criticizing Qatar and talking about every possible issue before and during the 2022 World Cup, yet it turned out to be one of the best-organized tournaments in history. Public transportation was free, fans could travel easily between stadiums some fans saw 4 matches in the stadium in same day, and the overall organization was praised by millions of visitors.
Now, when concerns are being raised about visa delays, strict entry procedures, and travel difficulties surrounding tournaments in the United States, we don't hear the same level of criticism from you. There have also been complaints about organizational decisions and match arrangements that many fans consider unnecessary or difficult, yet your voice is nowhere near as loud as it was when Qatar hosted the World Cup.
If your criticism is truly based on principles, then the same standards should apply to everyone. But when Qatar receives endless criticism while similar concerns elsewhere are met with silence, people are naturally going to question whether your issue was really about organization at all.
Fuck you.
Nommé par la FIFA pour officier durant la Coupe du Monde, l'arbitre somalien 🇸🇴 Omar Artan s'est vu refuser l'entrée sur le territoire américain
Vu ses difficultés pour obtenir un visa, il avait bénéficié du soutien de l'ambassade somalienne de Nairobi qui lui a notamment permis d'avoir un passeport diplomatique
Insuffisant pour les autorités américaines qui l'ont immédiatement renvoyé...
Pour rappel, Artan a dirigé la finale retour de Ligue des Champions de l'an dernier entre Pyramids FC et Mamelodi Sundowns tout en étant élu meilleur arbitre africain 2025 par la CAF
Famous footballer Hakim Ziyech changed his Instagram profile picture to photo of Palestinian child holding his book and looking back at Israeli IDF soldiers in Palestine
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???
