How come the Iranian squad have been allowed to travel to/stay in the US? If Somalia is on the list of banned countries, then Iran must also be on the list. Would the US attempt to ban all/any of the Iranian entourage? What should happen is for the Somalian referee to officiate at a match involving the US, then for the match to be abandoned, because the referee isn't available. It won't happen, but if FIFA cared about anything other than money, it would make for an interesting debate

They can't stay in the US. They can enter to play their games but then have to leave and go to Mexico where they relocated their base to.

With 75% of the games in the US and the referee's training camp based in the US that isn't viable. FIFA really should have anticipated issues here. There is a complete travel ban from Somalia - this was always likely to happen.

If the participating nations had any decency, they should fly out of the USA immediately in support of the Somalian referee. Come on Spain, start the walkout!!

I don’t like that ITV. Video, and haven’t been remotely interested in the World Cup, haven’t got excited once.

Then o just saw Maradona and R9 in that video and now I’m like being back as a nipper waiting for 86 to start.
