@bezza19881@CurtisDaly_ Hi Dan, immigration into the UK is a rain drop compared to immigration into other countries like Germany, you might even say it’s like a rain drop compared to them. Would you say that nobody in the UK should complain about immigration until the Germans tighten their policies?
@billycarpy I didn’t mind the idea of Munoz to keep it ticking for another year or two, especially to have a more attacking option. Wild shout but I think Martinelli could do a job there against weaker opposition
@billycarpy@00Darkseid00 Ahh mb, the ‘a new attacking signing can stand watch’ implied to me that Saka would be taking the central minutes and Dowman/Noni would be the predominant RWs

Infantino floats in & out of the Oval Office, hangs out with Trump officials, squeezes host cities for cash & cloaks FIFA in MAGA.
Now, FIFA wants to be considered powerless.

In 2023, Indonesia were stripped of the under-20 World Cup for refusing to allow the Israeli team entry.
Fifa's justification then was the vague "due to the current circumstances".
Quite a contrast to the hardline "FIFA is not involved in host immigration processes" now.
Any other organization that dismissed concerns like this only for them to be utterly exposed as true would be facing questions about the future of its leadership. As it is, several confederations have expressed their intention to let this man continue to run the sport.
FIFA has punished countries before for not granting visas but since Infantino is Trump’s pet, now they’re pretending to be powerless as this administration makes a mockery of the tournament
