"The land of the free" denying fans visas and refusing for refs to travel into the country

[Nathan @Nathavinga]

Las olimpiadas en la Alemania Nazi fueron menos racistas

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

Strangely, I haven't seen the op-eds and pearl clutching from the Western media about the U.S. hosting the World Cup that I did when Qatar hosted it.

[Balqees @HornChronicles]

So @FIFAcom’s position is that a referee they selected for the World Cup can be excluded because of one host country’s racism, and FIFA bears no responsibility whatsoever.

Then why wasn’t he assigned to Canada or Mexico?

The tournament has three host countries. The obstacle is one country, not the entire World Cup. So why isn't FIFA finding a solution?

What FIFA is really saying is that when officials from the Global South are discriminated against, accommodation is impossible and exclusion is acceptable.

A World Cup that only works for holders of the right passports is not a global tournament. It’s a privilege masquerading as one.

This should be the last time that America ever hosts a major international tournament - in any sport. The International Olympic committee should be watching very carefully for LA 2028

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

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

The USA is subjecting all the players from African and poor Asian countries to sniffer dogs and drug searches when they arrive in the USA and random searches at any time.

All the White teams get a pass.

The USA is such a racist hellhole, even worse than in the 1960s.

[SG @04gully]

S. Africa, Brazil and Qatar were all painted a certain way and had their own issues but at no point were they actively stopping players, teams, referee and fans from participating in the biggest sporting event, 3 days before it starts. America gotta be the worst hosts ever

[shams @sftbl187]

No statement this year?

[failed @unnamedbutalone]

He is only 33 years old. This is the biggest moment of his career. He’s probably been waiting for it for months.

But who will talk about it? There are 48 teams, hundreds of players, and representatives from all over the world. Who will finally speak up?

[🅱️ASH-AAR🛑 @YesItsBash]

Real Madrid signed Cristiano Ronaldo from Man United for £85m after winning the Ballon D’or and FIFA best player in 2009, today WestHam is asking for £85m to sign Matheus Fernandes after getting relegated.

The game is gone.

They are not allowed to fish in their own waters. Israel kills fishermen

[AFC_Murph @AFC_Murph]

I’m sorry but they gave the World Cup to the worst people at the worst possible time

The fucking arrogance and exceptionalism on display would give the 1936 Olympics a run for its money

🚨 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.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Nearly 100 fans from Morocco applied to go the USA.

The US blocked nearly 90% of their applications.

This is the most racist World Cup ever and it should be boycotted by everyone, the USA is refusing to let non-white people come.

[man with no game @SquintFeastwood]

Suddenly all the white people don't care about racism anymore

[Molly Ploofkins @Mollyploofkins]

If Russia is banned from the World Cup for attacking Ukraine, why isn't the United States banned for attacking Iran?

[Mahdii🇸🇳 @MahdiToure8]

Le contrôle des américains sur nos joueurs c’est abusé et c’est même un manque de respect pour moi. Plus jamais de compétition dans ce pays de merde.

[John Wight @JohnWight1]

Even Hitler's Germany did not prevent athletes and officials from entering the country to take part in the 1936 Olympics.

This is pristine racism and @FIFAcom stands disgraced for allowing Trump to disfigure the beautiful game in this way.
