FIFA World Cup 2026: Shocking images on the outside, brutal politics on the inside

The article discusses the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, highlighting emotionally moving moments such as Cape Verde's goalkeeper Vozinha reuniting with his mother after scoring crucial goals. While these heartwarming scenes capture global attention, the article contrasts this with criticism of the U.S. government's immigration policies. It points out that despite the U.S. government's portrayal as benevolent during the event—helping Vozinha obtain a visa—the same administration continues enforcing strict deportation policies, exemplified by recent Supreme Court decisions allowing the removal of approximately 350,000 Haitians. The piece also notes how smaller nations like Haiti, Cape Verde, and Curaçao have captured public affection through their performances, yet the expansion of the tournament to include more teams has raised concerns about the scale and impact of the event.
