Its admirable how UEFA are able to piggyback off FIFA’s failures to make themselves seem a much better organisation

When FIFA announced their inflated ticket prices, UEFA announced a price cap for Euro2028, and now this.

Hate giving UEFA any credit, but its a great strategy

[Jenni @hashjenni]

Fun fact. For the 1966 World Cup, England debated denying visas for North Korea. FIFA responded that if any players from any teams were denied visas,they would relocate the World Cup, even at the last minute.

[Brian McDonald @BrianMcDonaldIE]

When Russia hosted the World Cup in 2018, it had to suspend normal visa rules for the tournament. Foreigners with tickets could enter visa-free, using a scheme called ‘Fan ID.’

Russia also had to do weird stuff to keep FIFA’s sponsors happy. For example, small shops near Fan Zones and stadiums could only sell Budweiser beer on match days.

So yes, FIFA absolutely does dictate conditions to host governments when it suits FIFA. Infantino pretending otherwise is nonsense.

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

FIFA President Gianni Infantino was loudly booed when he appeared on the big screen during the Mexico vs. South Africa match. Even the commentator mentioned the crowd's response.

[Muneera Al-Thani. 🍉 @moonyra_]

You forced Qatar to accept Israelis in because it’s an “international tournament and everyone must be welcome” just say you’re terrified of trump and his fascist government and move.

[Covie @covie_93]

A FIFA referee has spent more time in federal custody for being Somali than anybody on epstein's list who raped kids.

[Donnovan Bennett @donnovanbennett]

A nation can’t celebrate its independence? We’ve lost the plot.

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

Big up Ian Wright, Gary Neville, and Roy Keane for calling out what the US is doing to the World Cup. They didn’t shy away and condemned it all, including the decision to ban Omar Artan.

Officials have always had freedom of movement, and FIFA guaranteed it.

[🐪Mœssi🐪 @BarcaCamel]

@tanniesworld Peacock got it too??

[Mingo @MingoMrtin]

I get theres three of them but not airing *the* opening ceremony of the world cup in favor of talking head analysis is just…..FOX is already off to a bad start.

[🐪Mœssi🐪 @BarcaCamel]

@Moonesch They won’t even show the opening ceremony in Mexico

[Shay @Shay3391]

Absolute fucking shit show. If you're in America and you were waiting for the World Cup Opening ceremony on FOX its not there. It's only on telemundo.

[🐪Mœssi🐪 @BarcaCamel]

Not a single American channel showing the Mexico opening ceremony 💀

[Conor Hennessy 🇮🇪🇵🇸🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈... 🇪🇺 @typingduck]

No other host nation in FIFA World Cup history has ever imposed active wartime or conflict-related visa restrictions on a qualified national team.

Not tinpot Argentinean dictators, nor on North Koreans.

I hope post revolution 2034 Saudi Arabia remembers to return the favour.

[Antifa_Ultras @ultras_antifaa]

Iraqi footballer Aymen Hussein issued a statement after being detained and questioned for seven hours upon entering the United States:

“If America is so hostile towards foreign nationals, why is it hosting the #2026WorldCup?”

[MN 🇭🇷 @MohamedHN_]

Only Egypt would have players named Zidane, Trezeguet and Zico 😂😭

[Aziz @aziz_zgigi]

Read this very carefully, especially the people who were very loud with Qatar criticism but are quiet now about the US

[Wamutahi @Son_of_Laikipia]

Qatar has held a World Cup where everyone who could afford to attend attended, wait till it's the USA hosting and they will have visa restrictions even on the players themselves 😂.

[🐪Mœssi🐪 @BarcaCamel]

@jpablofr92 @rafadelolmog @unidosxisrael As arabs we didn’t have this much conflict until the Zionists took over Palestine. So yes it is their country, their president, their ideology , the whole population is responsible for living on stolen land. Responsible for starting wars with every single neighbor.

[Analytica Camillus @AnalyticaCamil1]

He was literally never in ISIS, and he was such a soy-boy that he banned beheadings in Jabhat al-Nusra when literally every group other than the SDF was still doing them (including the SAA and most of the moderate rebel factions).
