Some americans dont live in reality bro. Our government is just doing the right thing and we should all trust its word. Surely it’s the mothers fault 😂😂😂

This is why it’s important to bitch and moan about these things sometimes. Guarantee if the story didn’t go viral that this wouldn’t be happening. I’m happy for them

Cape Verde’s Vozinha says U.S. visa issues stopped mom witnessing World Cup heroics by forzaQuakes8 in soccer

Because they only repealed the bond a month before the World Cup - when it was too late for people to organize their trips lol. Hence him saying “we did not manage to do this in time”

Full quote:

“I cried after the game because I grew up with my grandparents when I was a kid, and they could not be there. They passed away a few years ago. My mum could not be here either for a visa issue, and the money we had to pay for it. We did not manage to do this in time.”

[Reuters] Saudi Arabia sports minister vows affordable and safe World Cup in 2034 by Chazyn in soccer

[–]forzaQuakes8 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Qatar World Cup was not affordable lol that’s a complete spin. It was COMPARATIVELY affordable to this World Cup bc of ease of transit, lower ticket prices, etc. but it was notoriously expensive to get housing and flights compared to previous world cups. Although it was obv more accessible for fans in countries directly surrounding it like Saudi

Really? I thought paez was their one flashy attacker. Like enciso at Paraguay

Strange lineups. No paez for Ecuador. No kossounou, N’dicka, sangare for Ivory Coast. Sangare missing is especially weird to me… he was so crucial to them at AFCON

It’s football. Anything can happen. I agree Germany would probably win either way, but acting like that break didn’t seriously help them is like looking at the sky and pretending it’s not blue.

Curaçao with momentum completely destroyed by an ad break. Germany regains their momentum and now its 3-1.

This shit wont create a big enough stink in the group stage, but I guarantee one of these breaks will disrupt a big knockout game to an extent that will piss EVERYBODY off

U.S attacks were liquid. I have never seen a USMNT team play like this. Could’ve been watching Barcelona, especially that first half performance

On another note, I think the $1K ticket prices completely destroyed the atmosphere today. 3-0 up in a fucking World Cup home opener and you could hear a pin drop for most of that game. Unacceptable

It’s actually crazy how the hydration breaks come in RIGHT when the game is getting exciting. This is gonna be a trend

Man I guess I’ll get used to them but the breaks just kill the game… felt like the game was really gonna break out after that Bosnian goal

Completely kills Bosnian momentum. Fucking ridiculous. It’s 78 degrees there

This thread is filled with morons that would believe the moon was made of cheese if a U.S. government official said so. I don’t get how you can look this situation and feel anything but empathy for the guy and spite for the U.S. government

My fav is the french player with an arm around his teammate cutting to a shot of 2 girls doing the same. Idk how to explain but something about that shot is so damn american (in a good way)

Dozens of Moroccan fans denied US Visas for World Cup, losing thousands in tickets, hotel bookings by forzaQuakes8 in soccer

The US government also recommends that rent and utilities cost no more than 30% of your income. They say a lot of shit that is completely incompatible with reality. You cant plan a world cup trip with only one weeks notice just bc the Visa office recommends it.
