" FIFA World Cup thread "

I'm watching England v New Zealand and I know it's a friendly, but NZ are a very poor team.

If they were in the European qualifying section, they'd have no chance of reaching this tournament.

Yeah agree.

Same with teams like Haiti. What’s all that about?!

$$$??

Fifa changed mind about water you can bring in a 560ml plastic bottle manufacturer sealed! More fans starting to get banned from Country also journalists getting banned... its a mess of trump proportions...oh not to mention dodgy pitches

18 bucks for a can of coors light at that England friendly……

Iran have been told must come into usa for game and leave straight after game despite all 3 games being played there? That's against fifa rules apparently.. this hoes along with other officials of Iran federation being refused visa into usa
.... if I was Iran a
I would wait until day before game and say due to usa interference and restrictions on staff we have no choice but to leave WC? That should cause a stir

Listening to people having right nightmares getting in to the USA now too. Scottish bloke today had his ESTA (visa) refused even though he’d been in the states on the same ESTA 8 months ago (they are valid for two years) saying they want him to have a police check! His flight goes Thursday and he reckons he’s spent over £10k already and now he might never get there anyway…..the greatest country in the world

More than one Scots having problems... approved then refused presumably they arranged everything after approval but now denied estsa...its a shambles and probably get worse as more fans start to travel

I just read about an England fan who was refused entry (having already spent 10k) even though he was allowed on the same ESTA 9 months ago (they last 2 years). At the moment it seems totally random who may or may not be allowed entry & is based on some unknown & maybe personal criteria.

The Iranian team should just pack their bags & leave, f**k FIFA & its corrupt leadership. They're apparently staying in Mexico between games so they may not even be allowed entry from one game to the next which is awful for them & they don't even have most of their support staff because they weren't allowed visas in the first place.

This WC just gets worse every day & a ball has yet to be kicked.

A chance to see france tonight at home to No ireland. Before they leave for U.S.A.

I remember people saying the Qatar and Russia World Cups would be a disaster but all the noise around it was largely ignored once the football started.

Sure it'll be the same with this World Cup. Looking forward to it starting on Thursday.

Ticket sales stuttering,I am not surprised ,prices of tickets will be dropped to make sure there are no big gaps in the stadiums.

Who's going to buy them monty? Yanks only interested in their team lots fans not travelled or are barred.... the fanatical ones are to scared to go to games as I.C.E agents be ready to arrest them! Suspect infantino just say greatest WC ever record crowds who in fifa is going to go against him?

It sounds like its going to turn into a sh.t show, quatar was not much better to many rules & regulations it's the way these tournaments are heading
Do they not know that its out of reach for the likes of me average fan living on a certain ammount of money,
on principle I would not pay the sort of money they ask for in any case
