You are right! Iranians are Africans too . That's why they were forced to train in Mexico so as to be playing their games in the US from Mexico.

They can only do it to Africa not others

The US found some skeletons in the referee's cupboard just like I suspected earlier so everyone attacking them about that decision can now rest.

In the US, security is taken very seriously unlike here......they don't use emotions, sentiments or give a damn about what others will say when it comes to national security......if they found dirt on him no matter how small then it's understandable to stop him from entering their country.
Try get $ense small .Typical African supporting anything the white does.
In 2023, FIFA stripped Indonesia of the hosting rights for the U-20 World Cup after local officials refused to let the Israeli team play.

This statement alone tells me of your ignorance. I am 100 per cent sure you have never travelled out of this country. Just look at what you say about attendees already residing in America. America is not a football following country AT ALL. And look at what you say about no complaints from Europe and Asia. There have been lots. You are just another Nigerian teenager who worships Trump.
And you're just another old man wailing about another country and their rules
Re: FIFA President Defends Ticket Prices, Dismisses Referee US Entry Denial by Timoleon(m):
It can only make sense if you are getting paid for statements like this on this forum. If indeed there's dirt on him and USA has evidence, it will make more sense to allow him come to the USA, arrest him in the airport, charge him, present evidence to court and lock him away forever. But of course, this is just some propaganda you are pushing. I hope you are making money of it sha

The dirt might not be enough to prosecute him......someone supporting terrorism online wouldn't be enough to prosecute them for instance.

Trump has made no bones about his dislike for people from 3rd world countries, especially African countries. His visa bans and limitations reflect his racism.
Thereby helping them much more than their so called leaders have...... indirectly telling them to look inwards and build themselves up.

At the height of Islamic terrorism in Somalia, it was this same america that opened its borders to somalis when Al shabab was reigning supreme in Somalia.
America gave them hope and a chance at a better life since the mid 1990s ,only for them to become better people,now the ones in America takes advantage of the system to repatriate funds home to fund Islamic terror and stand against the values of America.
While the ones back home follow the same destructive path as Al shabab and their dead father AL QAEDA.
Exactly.....America is regretting that action and not willing to take any more chances.

What kind of human being is this. Which stupid thing they found with except hate and racism. And must you guys always defend nosense.

Tell me how many such treatment has mexico or Canada met our to some of the official like the way US is doing. Pure hatred. But what would you expect from an administration that even ready to worse to her citizens right inside US.

The good part is that you will be treated even worse if you show up at the doorstep because you will receive same treatment or even worse than nosense you're defending here, In the name of satisfying your blinded hatred as well
I prefer to build my place and earn my respect on global stage than running away.

Why should they waste taxpayers money on someone like that when they can just send you back to your village

No be skeleton, nah bones..

The Ref hasn’t done anything wrong. This is politics. And it simply because of that MN woman from Somalia background..

If security is a problem in USA, then why choosing to host World Cup? World Cup wey many countries dey host without issues..

As you can see, World Cup is starting today and it’s not even like it is. What a F-up World Cup..
No one said security is the problem.....but this kind of measures are there to ensure security.

Lol... If he hasn't committed a crime, then there's no dirt. Pick a position. Are you saying the USA lacks the capability to surveil him for the one month tournament? Get your money. Do what you gotta do. Nothing do you.

Wouldn't it cost time and resources to do the surveillance......this is the simpler way out.

Time and resources to stop a 'terrorist' is a good investment. This time and resources they have in abundance..per your claim, they have dirt on him, that means he's already under surveillance or did the dirt fall on their systems from the skies?

Shut up dude, there's nothing you won't do or say to support your white masters, do you think you would be treated better?

WhiteIverson:
The ref was on one forum chanting death to America

He was also associated with terrorists groups. This is the reason why many Nigerian politicians can't step foot in America especially APC boys. They all have ties to terrorists.
If not that the bot on this forum is strict, I would have insulted your lineages.

WhiteIverson:
Is he the only African referee?
Why was he the only one denied?

Let him go and officiate a world cup game in Iran

By the way, Iran promised to boycott the tournament, so why are they still hustling for American visa tongue
Otutu! Mumuni!

Iran never begged for US visa, if not because the corrupt FIFA chose to host the world cup in that useless USA, Iran players will never go there.

The United States of America is not fit to host the world cup.

A country where racism strive cannot host world cup.

America tax payer living in Nigeria will come and defend this.
O really?
So how do you categorize or respond to what the jihadists are doing in / to your country?
Ol boy, look inwards try settle your matter and leave the big league to the big players.
Have you even been to any American territory?
Don't trust all the social media lies.
I have been there and I didn't experience any racism, but I saw the kindest, most honest and caring people who may not go to church like we do but have the love of Christ and humanity flowing in their veins.
Visit there one day, atleast ask God to open a door for you and you ll testify and be ashamed of your present uninformed comments.
Why do you think Jihadists even with their hypocrisy are rushing there? They see a light that attracts them, but are to proud and misinformed to bow to The Truth but all the same go there to benefit from it.

This issue just shows that Africa has no leadership. The WHOLE continent should have pulled out of the tournament over this.
It will be long before Africans will be respected.
This is an overly emotional post and as a fan of yours on this forum,i find it embarassing.
First of all,i am not involved in this whole western left-wingers vs western right-wingers war being played out online and in the real world.All i know is,they are all one of thesame coin.
The western left-wingers who hate Trump are simply using this referee issue to attack Trump and say his administration hates black people as usual (They all do.Both the leftist and rightist ).They could have easily said he was refused entry because he is moslem but the race issue gets more clicks.This referee is a pawn.Nothing more,nothing less.Like Africans have been in the last five centuries.Remember the Senegalese airport check incident?Thesame thing.
Rather than seek for their "respect",Africans should endeavour to not get dragged into wars by these foreigners when they fight against each other

Surely you know that singular incidents have led to world changing revolutions throughout history.

Does the name Rosa Parks ring a bell and would you have called those who reacted to her refusal to get up from a bus seat overly emotional? Surely you know the influence on the entire civil rights movement. Her action and the "overly emotional" reactions it received led to the civil rights movement and eventually the end of separation in America.

I can cite one thousand other examples but I am on the move.

Rather than be embarrassed for me, dig deep and put on your thinking cap good sir.

bold of you to assume the guy knows what the civil rights movement was. he will now likely respond with some regurgitated charlie kirk soundbites. this is what i was saying about social media 's effect on people
