Fifa is not involved in host country immigration processes, including visa adjudications
They are responsible for not having changed venues as soon as it was clear the US was not going to make the world cup a safe event for anyone, from fans, to players, to referees.
They are also responsible for not having dequalified the US when they abused their status as an host country to exclude referees or putting undue hardships on other national teams (especially Iran, but plenty of countries had trouble getting their teams in the US). They are opening the precedent that host countries can tip the scale how much they want without consequences.

Did you really expect better from FIFA?
They used to draw the line at open cheating. I guess they just figured out there’s no point on keeping any kind of public appearance of propriety.
Money don’t care about that. People want to watch people chase and kick the ball. Money wants more money.
If people dumb enough to watch people chase around ball, I find it hard to complain about other people taking advantage of that.
