Reading the latest flurry of crazy reasons to ban or disrupt a team, I joked to myself maybe Trump is rigging it so USA win. A bit like a story from Horrible Histories where a bad loser Roman Emperor would disallow goals and execute the opposition scorer for treason.

Its just a joke though.... isn't it?

I now have visions of the King Lion in bedknobs and broomsticks rigging the game so he won and scored the goals. Except its Trump wearing the crown!

I bet he awards himself the trophy at the end of it.

Frankly the USA should not have been given the job of hosting.

As a footy fan I was disappointed at the decision.

It should have gone to a country where football is part of their culture

Eurgh.

Tbh the sheer greed on display from FIFA/US for this World Cup is absolutely obscene. Ticket prices have priced many fans out of what should have been an amazing summer. Then you've got hotels and public transport prices hiked up.

As with the last WC, I'll watch games if I have nothing else to do but certainly the magic of the WC isn't there anymore.

Being a football fan you will know it is the fourth most popular sport in the US and according to wiki it has been the 3rd most watched sport on tv at times.

The organisation has been awful and the USA enforce their visa entry criteria. I know the last item will be hard for some to understand but the first is surely something we have learned to live with over the last few years.

couple, us we him her.

The USA has already began to change football or "soccer " as they say into something they want.

Already breaking the game into quarters with water breaks and the planned halftime show that's definitely not going to be wrapped up in the 15 mins break which has been the case for hundreds of thousands of millions of years since the big bang. And guaranteed that fifa will adopt this and it will become the norm.

Who wants or needs a half time show, do Americans have such a short attention span that they can't possibly sit for 15 mins without something shiny to entertain them ??

They are not the only ones…

Between this…. The revocation of an entire Iranian allotment of tickets for a specific game, the refusal to let the Somali referee in, the degrading airport runway search of the teams from Uzbekistan and Senegal teams

This may be the first time the world is actually rooting for a host nation to get knocked out

I actually fear for Scotland fans going especially to the Haiti and Brazil games… because if ICE are out in force and get heavy handed, I think Scottish fans are going to stick up for their opponents and react

i read that it was the ESTA status that has changed rather than visa's being revoked. the US ESTA system runs continuous vetting against various international government agency databases right up until entry to the country. status can change from 'approved' to 'travel not allowed' at any time prior to entry.

Problem being they have been revoked at such a late stage that getting visa appointments at any us embassy at this point is almost impossible! So they have in effect been barred

In theory… yes, but to cover that FIFA and the Somali authorities got him a diplomatic visa, which should have been enough.. but the us still turned him away

There have also been issues with them allowing in some actual players.. one from Iraq and one from Cameroon so far

I think the refs should have threatened to boycott matches… so much for solidarity!

Because of the “bans” on people from those countries.. fans visiting from those are not allowed in the US, those that are already there can still go

but the fact there have revoked the entire Iranian fans section for one of the games is a lot worse

that's what i was eluding to. the problem being is that as the esta system continuously updates it's database checks, you could have your status change between disembarkation in say laguardia and passport control.

Are you suggesting that any Scottish fan who doesn't pass the US entry criteria should be given a pass to watch a football game
