Surely No More :

Uruguay the 3rd best team in South America and the 16th best team in the world, who are due to play Saudi Arabia tomorrow cannot enter the USA.

Because the USA will not allow them due to 'visa issues'.

The racist World Cup continues to be a disgusting joke.

Trump you are becoming the most hated man in the world :

The Uruguayan national team's plane, which must face Saudi Arabia at midnight (in 16 hours), has not been allowed to enter the USA. Beyond the finger-pointing over responsibilities, Trump and Infantino's World Cup is an intolerable farce.

According to news nothing to do with visa issues It was the planes paperwork not being completed on time to take off This happens for all flights and not sure this is FIFA or US issues The Airline looks at fault from what i read

Uruguay national team was subjected to INTENSE security screening upon arrival in the US ahead of their World Cup opener.

Sniffer dogs were deployed as players’ luggage underwent thorough inspection on the roadside next to the team bus, lined up like criminals.

Security is important, especially during a World Cup, but teams should still be treated with professionalism and respect. This is wrong

Spain / UK etc would not do this .

Enough of The USA DICTATORSHIP:


Luis Suárez reacts to Uruguay’s arrival in the United States for the World Cup, where the squad faced sniffer dogs and rigorous security checks:

“I’ve been in football a long time, and I’ve seen tournaments all over the world. But what we’re witnessing here with the USA hosting this World Cup is deeply concerning. Take the Uruguay team arriving — world-class players like Manuel Ugarte, standing there with arms folded, looking utterly bewildered as sniffer dogs go through their bags like they’re common criminals. That image says it all. These are ambassadors of the game, not suspects at the border.

This isn’t hospitality; it’s humiliation dressed up as security. You’ve got a Somali referee, one of Africa’s best, denied entry despite a valid visa — a man who dreamed of officiating at the pinnacle of his career, turned away at the airport. African and South American delegations facing extra screenings, visa chaos for fans and officials from qualified nations. This is the ‘land of the free’ rolling out the red carpet? It feels more like a fortress with razor wire.

The beautiful game deserves better than being turned into a political football or a paranoid checkpoint. FIFA chased the dollars — and there are billions to be made, no doubt — but they've sold the soul of the tournament to a host that treats global football stars and supporters like potential threats. Meanwhile, American taxpayers and host cities are left holding a bill running into hundreds of millions for security and logistics that FIFA largely pockets.
Football has always been about unity, passion, and bringing people together across borders. Right now, under this hosting, it's being strangled by suspicion and overreach. The world is watching these scenes and cringing. If this continues, it risks leaving a bitter taste that lingers far longer than any on-pitch glory. We needed a celebration of the game — not a showcase of division.

This must not be allowed to happen again.

The USA is the only country in the world who can treat its guests like dirt and still host an international sports tournament.

This should be the last World Cup they ever

Don't tar the whole country with the trump brush. The majority of the country is as appalled with this behavior as most on here are, the football fans in the country were calling for the WC to be moved long before it started.

The Olympics need to be moved elsewhere now before it's too late. But yeah never again if this is how it's going to be going forward.
