I've a thread here from last year on the history of teams from Central American and the Caribbean having issues entering the US for Concacaf continental competition. This situation for Mount Pleasant can be added to the list. Seems FIFA just ignored these warnings. bsky.app/profile/jdna...

Players of Brooklyn FC and Indy Eleven stand still for the first minute of their game to highlight ongoing CBA negotiations with USL and requests for fairer working conditions. Fans of both teams chant "stand with players".
Kick off delayed by 30 minutes
