In his first interview since being kicked out of the US, FIFA referee Omar Artan tells’s the NYT’s Matt Bigg that the biggest dream of his professional life has been shattered. The World Cup ref was questioned for 11 hours, held in a cell and then dumped on a plane.
I wonder how much of this is to skew betting on the World Cup?
We didn’t want it in Canada to begin with but why isn’t he able to go to Canada or Mexico?
This is how the usa team wins the world cup. By banning players and referees from the usa. Just like the baseball world series, where nobody but usa teams play.
It’s like the US intent is to be as unandearing as possible for this worldcup. They shot over the finishline after electing trump for a second time but you gotta hand it to them - they do a really good job in that area.
From being the shining star of liberty and democracy to a second tier wannabe dictatorship that seems to get a hard on by blocking certain people from entering to compete and work at the worldcup… Bunch of clowns, seriously…
We wanted the host the World Cup so we could show the world there’s only one true football. Murica!
Read they turned away a lot of Irans team staff a few days ago as well. This World cups going to be awful imo extra breaks, half time shows etc.
I’ll probably watch the England games and not much else.
Probably don’t watch it at all.
CBP: “We saw Blackhawk Down, we can’t let you into our country.”
Boycott FIFA.
Should’ve been doing that after Qatar murdered a gay journalist.
I dont trust the autopsy one bit.
It appears that the U.S. isn’t just killing the American dream for Americans.
