It is worth noting that the Executive Director of the White House FIFA Task Force, Andrew Giuliani (sigh), told the BBC that excluding Somali referee Omar Artan "was the right decision by customs and border patrol and I support that decision."
Which gives me zero confidence.
Omar Artan, who was set to be the first Somali to referee at the World Cup finals, is dropped from the list of officials after he was denied entry to the United States.
