i think what the americans don't get is that you cannot treat national football teams like normal people, you have to treat them kind of like diplomats
Stadiums will be built and completed in 24 hours.
During half time, they'll change the direction the stadium is facing so that the sun doesn't enter the Chinese team's eyes.
There is no FIFA rule I can think of that the US has not violated in hosting his World Cup.
They are not doing anyone a favour hosting the World Cup. As a matter of fact, we would prefer they never got to host it.
What rubbish!
so instead of showing the world cup opening ceremony i expect the bbc crew to give everyone watching a lecture about ethics and human rights like they did in 2022
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.
*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:
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.
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
Did America not realise that the ‘soccer’ World Cup would involve people from all over the world visiting?
Is it the Baseball ‘World Series’ that has confused them?
