One question: How?

Can you imagine the shit-fit Trump would throw if FIFA did the right thing and pulled the World Cup from the USA? Won’t happen for logistical purposes but it would be worth the price of admission.

I remember when the 1980 Moscow Olympics were boycotted. Perhaps it’s time to make a boycott official sooner than later.

jacktodd.bsky.social•11 days ago

Yes. Tough position for Canada and Mexico as joint host countries however.

I do agree with you. Just wishful thinking.

Hot mess coming up. Players and staff will be greenlit presumably but I wouldn't want to be a fan coming from... well hell just about anywhere

Wasn't really directed at FIFA.

Foolish to visit this country now. And it will only get worse.

They say there’ll be waivers, guidelines etc. for customs to follow. Like that won’t be a fucking shitshow. The Gambia will entirely be shipped off to El Salvador.

Why would anyone want to chance going there? I would be hesitant! Not sure because of logistics being a year away but could FIFA change their mind on US hosting?

jacktodd.bsky.social•11 days ago

The logistics would be unworkable. There are three host cities in Mexico, two in Canada since Montreal pulled out and 11 in the U.S. – and for some reason, they've picked the stadium in East Rutherford for the final. No way those cities could be replaced.
Could be worse than the Atlanta Olympics.
