What has happened at the #2026WorldCup over the last 48 hours:
• Swiss footballer Embolo's visa was put under review and he was only able to join his team days later.
• Iraqi national team player Aymen Hussein was held for questioning for nearly 7 hours upon entering the United States.
• The Iranian national team spent days dealing with visa procedures at the U.S. Consulate in Türkiye. The U.S. only allowed them entry on match days. Fifteen members of the delegation were denied visas.
• Omar Abdulkadir Artan, named CAF's Best African Referee of 2025, was denied a visa. Despite travelling to the U.S. with a diplomatic passport, he was refused entry and sent back. FIFA announced that he will not be able to officiate at the tournament.
• The South African national team arrived in the United States much later than planned because part of the delegation was not granted visas.
• Members of the Senegal national team staff were forced to remove their shoes and subjected to lengthy searches, sparking accusations of racism.
• The Uzbekistan national team was searched with bomb-sniffing dogs and the footage went viral in international media.
• Some Scottish supporters, despite being eligible to enter the U.S. visa-free under the ESTA programme, had their travel authorisations revoked just days before departure.
• Many supporters who had already bought tickets and booked accommodation had their visa applications rejected, resulting in financial losses.

No ill will or bad wishes on Angel, just tired of hearing ppl boast about how good she is, when all I see is lowlights. And to see her PR team scrubbing those bad vids is sad. I think you suck relative to your league
@marikaelon curious how difficult it is to deal with @GeoffBoyardee with the headgum podcast. What’s the balance between terrible employee and insane/wild word association comic
@ManUtd Do not fire Ten Hag. Let him work without all the injuries. Trust his process. Let him develop and build. 2 trophies in 2 years with his ideal back line , maybe, 10 times in 100+ games. Don’t continue to fuck us over. We will just have to do it again with another new mgr
