How FIFA Corrupted the 2026 World Cup

FIFA's own slogan is "Football Unites the World." The 2026 World Cup just spent six weeks proving how selective that unity really is. In this video, we break down four stories from this tournament that aren't separate scandals, they're the same pattern repeating: Iran playing in a country it's still at war with, a wave of visa denials that hit fans, officials, and even a referee from multiple nations, the red card controversy that ended with a direct phone call between Donald Trump and FIFA president Gianni Infantino, and Infantino's own long history of cozying up to whoever holds power. We also go back to where this all started, because the World Cup has been a political stage since its very first edition in 1930. This one's a bit different from our usual format, and shorter too. We explain why toward the end. 00:00 Intro 2:29 I. Iran 3:59 II. The Pattern 5:15 III. Article 27 7:52 IV. Infantino 10:21 V.
