Somali match official Omar Artan will miss the upcoming World Cup after being sensationally denied entry into the United States.

Even just qualifying generates a level of nationwide excitement that the club game simply cannot match, which is why we witnessed truly joyous scenes all across the globe as one country after another secured a spot at this summer's festival of football in North America.
