Throwback to Achraf Hakimi and Morocco defeating Spain on penalties at the 2022 World Cup — Spain didn’t convert a single one 😮
Morocco’s historic 2022 run saw them defeat Belgium, Spain, and Portugal to become the only African nation to reach the FIFA World Cup semi-finals.
The fact you had every mainstream media outlet and FA’s like Germany & Denmark virtue signalling over “no alcohol” & “workers rights” at the Qatar World Cup and now everybody wants to do silence & “let’s focus on football” gimmick. It’s laughable we know what you are!
Worst host nation of all time already… refs getting sent home out of pure racism, African and Muslim players being made to go thru excessive security checks then add ticket, hotel and transport prices being exploited along with the horrible pitches that are due to injure some.
Gianni Infantino en 2017 : « Les supporters et officiels d’une équipe qualifiée pour la Coupe du Monde doivent avoir accès au pays en question, sinon, il ne s’agit pas d’une Coupe du Monde. »
C'est fou comme le discours a changé en quelques années...
Pour les qualifications à la Coupe du Monde de 1966, la Confédération africaine de football avait boycotté l'événement en protestant qu'elle n'était pas respectée (aucun participant africain directement qualifié)
Pour l'édition 2026, elle se tait lorsqu'un de ses meilleurs arbitres a été refoulé du sol américain et ne pourra pas faire la Coupe du Monde pour des raisons politiques
La soumission n'a jamais servi (après le boycott de l'édition 66, la FIFA avait été obligée de garantir une place à une nation africaine)
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
Will the BBC do a long monologue about the United States' human rights record, its treatment of migrants, and the killing of its own citizens? And will they refuse to broadcast the World Cup opening ceremony, as they did with Qatar?
Let's keep the same standards and the same energy.
So far at the 2026 FIFA Epstein Cup before a ball kicked:
- Senegal & Uzbekistan squads treated like criminals upon arrival given full cavity searches;
- Africa’s best referee sent back to Somalia despite having a diplomatic passport;
- Iraq team photographer sent back despite valid visa;
- AIPS (international sport journalist association) calling on FIFA to sort out unacceptable visa issues of African & Iranian journalists;
- 90% of Moroccan fans with tickets denied entry
- 14 members of Iran backroom staff denied visas
Not a word from Gianni ”today I feel black/gay/disabled etc” Infantino.
