    Stories like this are the reason why The Onion can no longer be considered satire.

    Yeah fuck that. They couldn't even qualify in a 48 team tournament. If (when) Iran drops out, the space should go to an AFC team.

    The White House is waiving the $15k fee to enter the US for verified World Cup ticket holders.

    The department imposed the bond requirement last year for countries that it said had high rates of people overstaying their visas and other security issues as part of the Republican administration's broader crackdown on immigration. Travelers to the United States from 50 countries are required to pay the new bond, and five of those countries have qualified for the World Cup -- Algeria, Cape Verde, Ivory Coast, Senegal and Tunisia.

    Citizens from those five countries who have purchased tickets from FIFA are now exempt from the visa bond requirement. World Cup team players, coaches and some staff already had been exempt from the bond requirement as part of the administration's orders to prioritize the processing of visas for the tournament.
    Fans from Iran and Haiti are still banned, but players and team staff are allowed. The WH has determined that this waiver only affects about 250 people.

    A Somalian ref, a Iraqi player, and a Iraqi team official have so far been banned entry. There are photos making the rounds on the Sengali team getting patted down on the tarmac.
