FIFA rejecting Haiti’s jersey’s for being “too political” while allowing Israel to play, & the US to host World Cup (while denying visas, restricting entrance, banning Iranian players from staying in country) is a selective, targeted invocation of their “neutrality” policies.

So Russia is banned from FIFA because of their invasion of Ukraine, but America is allowed to HOST THE FIFA GAMES WHILE BOMBING IRAN???

HOW DOES THAT WORK?????

[Brian McDonald @BrianMcDonaldIE]

When Russia hosted the World Cup in 2018, it had to suspend normal visa rules for the tournament. Foreigners with tickets could enter visa-free, using a scheme called ‘Fan ID.’

Russia also had to do weird stuff to keep FIFA’s sponsors happy. For example, small shops near Fan Zones and stadiums could only sell Budweiser beer on match days.

So yes, FIFA absolutely does dictate conditions to host governments when it suits FIFA. Infantino pretending otherwise is nonsense.

these hydration breaks are calm, but it’s funny how during ramadan people completely lost their heads over games being paused for 30 secs - 1 minute so muslim players could break their fast. i still remember the game vs leeds when cherki, ait-nouri & marmoush were booed. the hypocrisy is unreal

[Muneera Al-Thani. 🍉 @moonyra_]

You forced Qatar to accept Israelis in because it’s an “international tournament and everyone must be welcome” just say you’re terrified of trump and his fascist government and move.

[dracojeremy @jeremyb___]

this man banned the whole of russia but can’t help get a fifa referee’s visa approved

This should be the most viral documentary on the internet!

[Ali 𓃗 @mountain_lad_]

Are you doing this drama again this time too?

[zak🪡 @ZakKnowsBall]

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

[Zito @_Zeets]

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

[HODAN HOMES @HodanHomes]

Welcome to Trumps US 🇺🇸

A wanted war criminal is welcome.

A football referee chosen as Africa’s best NOT welcome.

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

[yang goi @GongR1ght]

Germany scapegoated Ozil for the group stage elimination at the FIFA WC 2018 just because he was a Turkish Muslim. They forced their captain Gundogan who is a Muslim to put on a public statement before the match along with his team for the human rights in Qatar despite him not wanting to do it along with the few other players.

Suddenly as the World Cup is being held in USA, their captain Joshua Kimmich says that the team is not interested in politics despite teams getting last minute visas, some players and refs not even getting it along with the fans.

Germany is by far the most hypocritical nation in the world.

[Oh Chale. @Tbag__1]

Motherfucking hypocrites . Supreme virtue signaling cunts these Europeans .

[Muhammad Mazen @mhmd_s09]

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.

The moment the tents of displaced people were bombed in the southern Gaza Strip, in the Mawasi area of ​​Khan Yunis, killing more than 500 civilians.

A video that the world must never forget.

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.

[Hassan Mafi ‏ @thatdayin1992]

It's a good time to remind everyone that FIFA is ass.

[Praise @tufpraise]

now are y'all seeing this?!? like REALLY SEEING THIS???
