So the one at the "Butchers" didn't deserve empty stadiums? 

The Saudis haven’t joined in just yet!

There should be protests and boycotts about the Somali ref denied entry.

 

But there won't be.

 

 

It’s genuinely heartbreaking and Trump’s racism towards Somalian’s is well known all because he hates that Ilhan Omar.
 

Imagine growing up in war torn Somalia, finding your passion in football, then taking up refereeing to a standard that makes you literally one of the best 20 in the world and that fat lard arse stops you because he gutted the state department and holds a grudge.

If the other referees went on strike….

 

FIFA are the biggest cowards. They’ve basically just shrugged their shoulders.

 

Hopefully he’s chosen to referee a USA game at the next tournament.

64 team world cup coming you think sometime soon. This world cup already feels its streching the limit. Might be a time where qualification for the top nations wont be required theyll automatically be there.

Chatting to a mate earlier and we were saying it won't be long before they do a CL-format style of it and ruin the tradition of the World Cup forever.

I doubt it as I bet FIFA make a few $ from the qualifyers.

 

They'd find a way even if it was for every team in the world there'd be something like a qualifying  tournament to rank the teams to replace the current ranking.

Tbf, if you've grown up in war torn Somalia, you've likely been exposed to much worse than this both in terms of severity and in terms of corruption.

I'm liking Ian Wright calling this the 'World Cup of Chaos' given how teams and officials are being denied access to US and how fans are being exploited through extortionate prices.

Bring back Blatter at least he was just corrupt this guy's got an ego on a par with Trump, Netanyahu, Putin and Kim Jong Un.

Sadly all going to overshadow the football which Trump probably doesn’t care about

Literally Blatter was just the standard 2000’s European politician (Blair, Sarkozy, Schroeder, Berlusconi).

Great timing from Platini

Iranian fans now having Visas denied, despite having bought tickets.

 

Tournament hasn't even started. At least they can say the stadiums weren't built with slavery. 

 

Genuinely I can see a load of fans getting rounded up, arrested or even shot.
