FIFA Corruption at World Cup 2026.

So there we have it.  Another example of how Fifa have ruined the World Cup, not only by holding it in the USA Trump dictatorship but by also ensuring Argentina will win again.

The Norway v England game shows clearly how the referee, an experienced and capable official, has put his Fifa work before his reputation and the Laws of the game.  From the start it was clear England was to be given aid at all times.

One example is the ball hitting the wire connecting the 'spider' camera.  This is the absurd and needless camera that hangs over the pitch giving an exaggerated wide view of proceedings.  The By-Kick from the Norwegian goalie hit the wire, (though at well past my bedtime I did not notice this) the ball changing direction and aiding the English players.  One of whom then scored an equalising goal.  The VAR review must have noticed this, but nothing was done.  Now, in the ball is a microchip, this ought to record when the ball touches something.  In one game the recording indicated the ball had grazed a forwards hair, playing his colleague offside.  In this game the same chip did not record clearly hitting the wire.  Or so Fifa claim!  Clear bias aiding England.

We must remember, Fifa want the big teams in the final, not the wee teams like Norway.  This brings in more advertising cash, and Fifa want cash, not football success.

Norway scored a very good goal in the second half, yet this was disallowed because of a foul before the corner kick was taken.  The English defender, who's job is to 'block,' the Norway forward, pushes the big man, and in return is pushed back, harder.  Englishman falls to the floor and complains.  ON VAR review, the bought French referee decides a foul occurred and demands a retake of the corner, so no was given.  Clear cheating for England. 

The picture above shows players jumping for the ball after it rebounded from the crossbar.  Clearly the English defender has his elbow in the neck of the Norway player.  Penalty surely, but nothing given, no VAR review, and the best team lost.

This has occurred in almost every game, either incompetence from the officials, or deliberate misuse of the Laws to suit the preferred team.  We have seen clear evidence of Argentina, and Lionel Messi in particular being given protection.  He, and his team, have fouled their way through this competition with no corresponding action being taken by the officials.  One ref claimed that at half-time, with the Argies not winning, a call from 'an unnamed source,' warned him that his reputation and career was at stake.  Obviously this continues here.  Money talks, and in the USA it is more important than anything else, certainly under Trump.  There is no need for this.  In 1994 the World Cup was held in the USA without such trouble.  A sensible (comparatively) President, decent stadiums, good fans, the only troubles were the normal football ones, not clear bias aimed at greed for cash.  Such a shame it has been spoiled here.

England progress to the semi-final to meet Argentina.  I can tell you now they will not win as Fifa want France to meet Argentina as more money will arise from this setting.  Half the world will watch the World Cup final, possibly 5 Billion people, in homes, factories, offices, mud huts, caves, shanty towns, and tents, so advertising money will be huge, and the Fifa president wants all he can get.

It is time for a change.  

This World Cup means nothing, it is ruined for us all.  

Will action be taken?  

No.
