El capitán de la Selección de Irán, Mehdi Taremi, explotó contra la FIFA y la organización de Estados Unidos.

“Esta es una Copa del Mundo desastrosa. Como jugadores profesionales no podemos jugar una competición en estas condiciones, no está bien ni es justo. Si la FIFA piensa que esto es justo, tema de ellos, pero no lo es. ¿Quién debería solucionar este problema por nosotros? ¿La FIFA? ¿EE.UU.? ¡No sé! Díganme un nombre. El presidente de la FIFA, Gianni Infantino, vino a nuestro vestuario después del primer partido contra Nueva Zelanda y dijo que iba a resolver todos los problemas, pero en realidad, la FIFA no hizo nada. Respondiendo la pregunta de: "¿Sienten que los organizadores de la Copa del Mundo, incluidos la FIFA y los funcionarios estadounidenses, prefieren que Irán sea eliminado de la competencia?", digo: Tenemos que luchar contra absolutamente todo. No podemos quedarnos en el país, viajamos y nos sometemos a controles migratorios cada vez que queremos jugar, ahora no podemos quedarnos en Seattle y tenemos que volver a Tijuana. Han hecho todo lo posible para eliminarnos, entonces desde nuestra perspectiva, sí, creo que lo quieren así, nos quieren afuera”.

🚨 WARNING about StubHub 🚨 We purchased 4 FIFA World Cup tickets (France vs Senegal, MetLife Stadium June 16) for $2,189 back in December. Three days before the game, the seller "couldn't deliver." StubHub's so-called FanProtect Guarantee? When we clicked the link — ZERO replacement tickets available. The same seats are now listed at DOUBLE the price. Oh, and our $300 non-refundable parking pass? Gone. This is a deliberate bait-and-switch scheme and we're filing complaints with both the NJ and MD Attorney General. Do better @StubHub. #StubHub #FIFA #WorldCup #BaitAndSwitch #ConsumerFraud

Scenes that I never thought I would see, a Dance off between the Scottish and Haitians fans 🇭🇹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This is what soccer is about, bringing people together and forgetting our differences. Love this!

[Romain Molina @Romain_Molina]

De pire en pire : les Etats-Unis 🇺🇸 ont révoqué le permis de voyage de nombreux fans écossais 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 qui avaient déjà tout payé (billets, hôtels) pour assister à la Coupe du Monde !

Ces derniers avaient également payé les 40 dollars pour obtenir l'ESTA (il s'agit globalement d'une autorisation de voyager aux USA qui ne nécessite pas de tampon sur le passeport) mais Washington s'en moque bien.

Quelle Coupe du Monde...

[IRAQ FR @IraqFootFR]

Félicitations à la FIFA pour avoir attribué la Coupe du Monde à un pays capable de retenir pendant 7 heures un joueur qui n’a jamais fait parler de lui autrement que par ses performances sur le terrain.

Quand le meilleur buteur de l’Irak, qualifié pour le plus grand événement sportif de la planète, peut être traité comme un suspect à son arrivée, difficile de ne pas s’interroger sur l’accueil qui sera réservé à certaines sélections (Iran) et à leurs supporters.

Pendant des années, chaque aspect de l’organisation au Qatar a été scruté, commenté et critiqué. J’espère que les États-Unis feront l’objet du même niveau d’exigence et de la même couverture médiatique.

Bravo, Monsieur Infantino.

[Lou Macari @LouMacari10]

Thank you so much to the Scottish Football Supporters Association after they voted me their Hero of the Year for our work at the Macari Centre. An honour for me to receive this from the fans of a game that gave me so much and a pleasure to meet Paul Goodwin, founder of the SFSA

[Alex Shams @alexshams_]

The US has refused to host Iran's national team for the World Cup even though they have to play all their games there

Which means they're based in Tijuana and will have to fly on the day of their games

I've never heard of this kind of discrimination in World Cup history

[Hoopy71 @H00PY71]

@TEnglishSport What are you pushing this narrative, you don’t believe the officials, who are you? A jumped up Irish rugby journalist, get over it and stop pressing aggressive media reporting

[Fitzy 🇲🇽 @Fitzy__07]

So what we've learned here is that it was tremendous officiating, it was indeed a clear handball with Motherwell defenders are in an unnatural position, and Celtic are due an apology from quite a lot of people.

Grand. 🍀🏆

[Shaun King @shaunking]

If 9 Jewish paramedics were killed ANYWHERE in the world it would be called terrorism.

And we’d never hear the end of it.

Israel slaughtered 9 paramedics in 72 hours, most of which we’ve seen on film, and we only hear their names on Twitter.

Well done @sfa mark guidi and Charlie Bhoy

Scottish FA Statement | Celtic v Heart of Midlothian

[Laura Bradburn @CadetesGhirl]

“Do you happen to know how long it took to clear the pitch?”

“20 minutes?”

“Less than 3.”

If you’re going to come for the king, you best not miss.

[Oxtail-Chambermaid III @Oxladesoup88]

Gary Neville, Ian Wright and Roy Keane praising Celtic and MON. So much for being hated 😉

You can tell Keane idolises Martin, that’s how respected the man is.

@ScotlandSky Kris Boyd is a one sided bigot and his anti Celtic views and hysteria caused a lot of this, as long as it’s not Celtic his simpleton views are biased and not of a national broadcaster

[Football on TNT Sports @footballontnt]

Kelechi Iheanacho looked to have gotten Celtic back into the game... but VAR rules out his strike for handball ❌
