Why is the World Cup even being held here? The US is just not in a position to host people from dozens of countries.
> The whole nation is pissed off now,” Abshir said, adding that fans are angry at both the U.S. government and FIFA, global soccer’s governing body. “This tournament should be given to a country that gives everybody equal opportunity.”
> U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which screens travelers arriving at international airports, confirmed that it denied entry to a Somali referee, whom officials did not name. He had arrived in Miami on a flight from Istanbul and was rejected after undergoing additional inspection. Officials said he “was determined to be inadmissible due to vetting concerns and was denied entry.”
I hate my country and every asshole that voted for this.
You cannot be serious. Did NO ONE in US government think to maybe greenlight in advance the people participating in the biggest sporting event on Earth?
The Debacle Cup.
Oh boy who saw this coming
Fucking shameful
[surprised pikachu face]
first the lameass „peace prize“, now this ?
FIFA shoulda just axed the US from its schedule – it’s a hostile nation – SBT 🤷🏻♂️
Boycotting would have been the respectable act here, but money over principle, zero sympathy.
If the USA doesn’t let in the other teams, the USA might win it all!
Other referees should threaten to refuse to ref games until he’s allowed in and to ref his scheduled matches.
So why exactly did FIFA think this was a good idea again?
FIFA gave Trump a fake Peace Prize and also leased an empty office in Trump Tower (i.e., bribed the Trump family) to try and prevent this from happening, and it’s happening anyways.
Money well spent. /s
Refuse to participate in the US
I remember when I used to be proud to be an American…
Surprising, checks notes, absolutely nobody
USA, you are disgusting.
They have banned the Iranian fans as well. This is totally deliberate, it’s just a pathetic power play from Trump. I would be amazed if any of the US stadiums are full for non-US games. It’s just too much of a gamble going to the US at the moment and if you are spending $20,000 on a trip it can just be wasted when you get deported on arrival for saying nasty things about Trump on social media.
Color me fucking shocked
The US is finally going to win a World Cup
FIFA is literally bribing Trump by paying him rent for a space they don’t use, and he’s still pulling this. Everyone who bends the knee to him gets screwed – and yet they’re still falling all over themselves to appease him.
I wish some teams withdraw in protest.
The US shouldn’t be allowed to host any international tournaments right now.
Hey FIFA: Did you think sucking the tyrant’s dick with that „peace prize“ would prevent this? Well, FAFO 🤣
FIFA is a joke for sure, but they reside over game, it should have been pulled the minute dump was put back in power.
That’s what happens when you hold a major international event in a Fascist Shithole.
The original Nazis were disciplined enough to temporarily tune down their horrific regime for the Olympic games ~~1934~~ 1936 in an effort to impress and misguide the world. „See? We are not as bad as you think.“
Trump’s USA just isn’t competent enough for such an effort. A bunch of thugs lead by idiots.
In a way it’s a bit reassuring that the MAGA fascists are too chaotic and inefficient to be like their role models.
I assume that was the plan since this surprises nobody.
Then we shouldn’t be allowed to host… any world sports event
The teams should boycott the US entirely.
I was getting downvoted to hell for a couple years for responding to criticism of Russia and Qatar by saying that the US may be more of a shit show
And that was before the ICE bullshit too
I get why the Olympic committee okayed the Olympics in Nazi Germany because no one knew how colossal of an asshole Nazi’s were, but come on, trump and the republican party have purposely not hidden they’re assholery…so…why did the FIFA okay the world cup to be in the U.S.?
not even nazi germany was this stupid
A reminder that if you’re not white, there’s a high probability that you will be detained and possibly deported to an El Salvadoran prison. Seriously.
Just imagine the Olympics… it’s not just 48 nations coming to the U.S., it’s mostly the whole world
Wow. Who would have thought this would happen in a country with a government full of power-drunk bigots??
Maybe the FIFA Peace Prize winner can do someth….oh wait.
This is why I said it should be hosted in Canada
If FIFA wasn’t so wildly, insanely corrupt, they would have suspended the Cup by now.
This proves how bad of dictator he is. Authoritarian leaders use sportswashing to make them and their country look good. Look at the sport hosting records of Qatar, Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, etc. They make sure things run perfectly.
that’s one way for the white teams to win. Oops, I meant right teams to win. darn spell check or biden or something else to blame for the mistake.
This is how they treat the *personnel* of the games they’re hosting. What do you think they’ll do to the fans?
I think Trump got the peace prize for uniting the world againt America…
I have two questions:
1. Why the fuck would you volunteer to host a global sporting event in your nation and then detain and reject people when they show up, especially players and refs? Why? Why the fuck would you do this?
2. Also coming from the Why The Fuck part of my brain is this query: why the fuck would ANYONE come to the US right now???
Why the fuck hasn’t the cesspool that is FIFA banned us from hosting the World Cup??
FFS, the IOC should’ve banned us 10 years ago.
Its insane the world cup was allowed to be hosted in the US given the current state of affairs
Stop buying American, going to America and supporting anything that Trump and his cult mafia are doing.
Oh boy. Can’t wait to see the 2028 Olympic Games…
Should have boycotted the whole thing months ago when it was clear it would be this
So embarrassing for Americans like me. Why even bother hosting in America when referees, players can’t enter the country. I would never support such antics. Trump continues to ruin the country. He’ll probably try to take the trophy again.
