I would have expected people to be more angry at the US’s actions than Argentina’s.

During the 2026 World Cup, FIFA suspended the implementation of a one-game suspension that United States men’s national soccer team player Folarin Balogun had received after he was sent off in a round of 32 match victory against the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team for a foul on Tarik Muharemović. Balogun’s suspension was delayed for a probationary period of one year under the Article 27 authority of the FIFA Disciplinary Code. United States president Donald Trump had directly called FIFA president Gianni Infantino asking him to review the red card decision. The decision allowed Balogun to participate in the United States’ Round of 16 match against Belgium despite the red card remaining in effect. Belgium won the match 4–1, with Balogun playing almost the entire match

Another controversy, similar to when the events were hosted in Russia and Qatar, involves host countries immigration policies. The controversy during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, United States immigration and visa policies under the second Trump administration, which have affected players, officials, journalists, and fans from several qualified nations. A travel ban affecting citizens of 39 countries—including World Cup participants Haiti, Iran, Ivory Coast, and Senegal—has prevented most ordinary fans from those countries from obtaining visas to attend matches in the United States, though exemptions were granted for athletes, coaches, and essential support staff, as well as dual citizens, permanent residents, and valid visa holders. A separate visa bond program initially required fans from five African nations to pay deposits of up to $15,000, a requirement that was temporarily suspended in May 2026 for ticketed fans. Iraqi striker Aymen Hussein was detained for seven hours upon arrival at O’Hare International Airport, while Somali referee Omar Artan was denied entry and was unable to officiate at the tournament.
Not “the USA”, the government of it run by stupid psychotic criminals. Or do you think every Russian citizen living day to day on the edge is responsible for what Putin does too?
Fuck the US though. In fact, fuck the World Cup too.
I’ve got no hate for the US team, it was Trump and Infantino.
I feel sorry for the US team, Trump’s interference put them in such a shameful situation. Everything he touches turns to shit.
What? But it was four times better than any FIFA held before! Five times, they’re telling us today!
I’ve got no hate for the US team, it was Trump and Infantino.
FIFA is so dirty. All they do is rob hosting cities blind and then accept bribes. That organization needs to collapse. Sports should be affordable to watch, and who caves to Trump twice in one year anyway?
Argentina hate is uniting the world
They really should play rugby with all that grabs and tackles
They enshittify every sport they enter. Indycar became a mass of death threats while an Argentine driver competed.
Fuck all the players that practice that “jump over the adversary’s knee” move. From Argentina and from the other teams.
Their game against the English rugby team wasn’t much better!
Don’t forget about Paraguay they also played like absolute assholes
Sending some hate their way
Every show competition needs a good foil.
I didn’t like that the US and Canadian broadcasts always had to pan to the corrupt stooge Infantino a couple times every game, during play, but I did like that I could hear the stadium crowd or my local watch party crowd boo each time.
FWIW the international broadcasts did the same, I think it was a single feed to all syndicates
There was only the world feed.
is this the “today i feel gay. today i feel migrant worker.” guy?
I’m so glad the US didn’t win like that with all the political bullshit. It would’ve looked like we cheated our way in had we progressed any further, once ol’ shittypants waded in.
Why isn’t Paraguay shunned anymore? They played like thugs against most teams, famously against France.
I didn’t watch, because corrupt FIFA and Temu Hitler
As a non soccer fan, I don’t get it. Why don’t we like Argentina? Don’t they have a pretty strong team?
They played incredibly dirty, fouled nonstop, deserved even more red cards than they got, at the same time they played super lame football, debated with the referee nonstop, were disrespectful to the winning team afterwards and physically assaulted a Spanish player after the game without any provication from the other side.
Rarily has a team in the finals misbehaved more than that.
And on top of all of that, corrupt FIFA will look the other way and do nothing about it because they’re currently the princesses of the football world. There’s just too much money tied to sponsorships that depend on Argentinian stars, so FIFA will do everything in their power to keep the money flowing, even if that means tolerating a team that undermines sportsmanship and integrity. FIFA went through a corruption crisis in 2015 and learned absolutely nothing.
I didn’t watch it either but heard they started a (physical) fight after losing the game. That could be a reason
Everyone has always hated Argentina, and kind of argentinians (not based on racist motives, they are just incredible ass holes and sore losers). When I recently saw Swiss people hating on them, that was the last straw.
All Argentinians are assholes but I’m not being racist!
Eh, ok
People can’t dislike assholes and not be racist.
uh !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world is that a way.
nah, I think it’s pretty fucking embarassing for every country that took part in it. including my own.
Argentina did quietly what germany tried to do loudly, it exterminated everyone not white from it’s country, but nobody hates on them enough because they are in south america and nobody looks there. I’m glad people are realizing how shitty they are
So they killed all people of color in concentration camps?
No Love, they didn’t even needed to be that loud. You should look into it. Educatio is always a win
Is there an actual thing I can look up? Apartheid or racism in Argentina?
There is a place called Google.com where you can find papers published by historians, researchers, sociologist and etc telling the story.
No we can’t. I hate football (soccer for you USians) with a passion greater than those that love it, and I can’t avoid it, even though I desperately try.
