World Cup Controversies and Challenges

Chill, relax, we work on everything, we try to solve everything.

You say people should chill and relax about these situations, but you've got one of the

world's top referees told he can't enter the United States, sent back home, accused of

having links with suspected terror organizations.

We have Mexico having to change their training, sorry, Iran having to change their training

base here to Mexico.

We have fans and journalists from a number of countries who aren't able to attend this

World Cup because of travel bans or visa restrictions.

Are you embarrassed, therefore, by what actually has come to pass, and do you have to accept

that you've lost some control of your own tournament here?

And when I say to chill, I don't mean to chill and do nothing, I mean to trust us, that we

are working behind the scenes, we are trying to understand, and there are things we can

not know, things we are told, things we are not told, and we always try to make the situation

as positive as possible and to find solutions.
