I know we all know this wasn't about the football this one but **** me - it's not about the football.
The train to the stadium in New York would usually cost $13 on WC match day a train ticket will cost $98.
Reusable bottles banned from stadiums so you have to purchase drink inside which is looking at over a ?7 a bottle of water.
Even less about football:
Iranian team not allowed to stay in states, half their support staff not allowed in and all Iranian fan visas decline.
Haiti fans not allowed in.
Senegal fans visa's not authorised.
Morrocan and Scottish fans visa's decline at country entry and sent away.
Somalian ref - the number 1 African ref - turned away at entry - a ****ing ref, a fifa official.
The Senegalise and Uzbek teams subject to humilating searches on the tarmac of the airport once landed.
I sort of get the Iran bit - ignoring politics of whether they should have gone to war - but even so, doesn't feel right.
A world cup should be pinacle of players careers and yet this . . . feels so tainted.
**** me. Dreadful.
