Iran couldn’t get visas. They didn’t intervene.
A Somalian referee couldn’t get a visa. They didn’t intervene.
Fans of Muslim countries couldn’t get a visa. They didn’t intervene.
Ronaldo got a red card. Intervened.
USA player got a red card. Intervened.
F*** FIFA. Corrupt.
Love how people get so offended over football players :)) call ronaldo a rapist (which he is) call messi out for meeting trump, Netanyahu & going to “israel” (yeah yeah he went to Palestine too, aint going to praise him for playing both sides) — and see how crazy people will go. But not even the same level of outrage about the genocide in Palestine by Israel. Not even the same level of outrage about the IOF killing 567 footballers since 2023.
And about the fact that Fifa has done nothing after the IOF shot and killed Palestinian Goalkeeper Saleem al-Ashqar a few days ago.
First Cristiano Ronaldo, now Folarin Balogun. But when a Somali referee can't get in the country it's "unfortunate" but we should "chill and relax". No qualms with the Iranian team being ferried across the border as soon as possible.
Brazen and shameful
