World Cup is screwed

[wmheel1287]

Given how corrupt FIFA AND Trump are, I’m good with the 2026 World Cup being a disaster.

2022 was in Qatar. A totalitarian state.

2018 was in Russia.

I hope it is a disaster in every possible way. Same for the Olympics and same for the 250 celebration. The US deserves nothing but International ridicule so long as this Admin is in office.

If we are still at war I wouldn't dare go anywhere near a 250th celebration

True.

And, the most important part of the money is paid to bribe the FIFA Council and Congress……ditto for the IOC.

Yep, the trump administration and FIFA are two of the most openly corrupt institutions ever. Anything is possible.

I wouldn't go regardless.

And the US is getting nothing but international ridicule - regardless of the Olympics or World Cup. That is baked in until 2029 at a minimum.

Is he threatening the life and safety of the Iranian soccer team? Really reaching a new low here.

Well the "good news" is there will likely be a lot of tickets for sale at the last minute when the Trump Admin won't let fans enter the country for matches...
