🚨 Carragher asking Mikel Obi about who is he supporting tonight:
Jamie Carragher to Mikel Obi:
“Which side are you backing tonight South Africa vs Czech Republic at the World Cup?”
Mikel Obi:
“I’m going with Czech Republic tonight.”
Carragher:
“Hold on… what about South Africa? They’re your African brothers.”
Mikel Obi:
“Yeah, but unfortunately for them I’m backing Czech Republic today. Some team has to go home early and focus on keeping their jobs..
Somali referee Omar Artan, who was set to be the first from his country to officiate at the World Cup finals, has been denied entry to the United States.
Are national teams going to protest over how unsafe America is? If this was Qatar, we wouldn’t hear the end of it. The hypocrisy is pretty hard to ignore.
I am sorry, but as an American this makes no sense to me.
I know Kenya has a great health infrastructure and can do this - the question is WHY did they agree to this.
Would be interested to know what kind of pressure or concessions the US government made to convince the Kenyan government
