2026 World Cup - North America

No, not when ICE are well funded to do just that!

Hearing the horror stories of people locked up for 20+ days with no access to legal support in shitty conditions over minor visa issues and green card holders rounded up and jailed pending deportation without a hearing, I’m not setting foot in that fucking place, fuck knows how bad it’ll be come the WC.

Fun fact. Last time Mexico hosted the World Cup they were a hasty plan B at very short notice after Colombia pulled out I think it was because of political instability. Would anyone 100% outright discount another scenario like this recurring the way things are going?

It was because of landslides caused by floods or earthquakes iirc. Real, not metaphorical ones like these ones from these fuckwits

I’d say it depends on a whole load of things. I mean if the Palestinian Football Team get into the World Cup (yes unlikely) there may be issues with visas etc. especially if the US bans them. The same could be said for a number of other teams competing like Iran etc. There may be major visa/ideological issues that come at play. Other then that, FIFA and Trump do share a lot of ideological similarities. They’re both corrupt, they’re both hugely homophobic, they love supporting corrupt/dictatorial regimes, they’re both complicit in the use of slave labour and they both love money. So they’ll generally go hand in hand.

Or the president who stood up for America against the useless globalist elites at FIFA, pandering to a base that couldn’t give the slightest fuck about the World Cup.

He already had the king of football in the oval office and he has a world cup trophy on display for some reason.

FIFA are big business, they’re the type that Trump sees himself as one of. They’re money making economic peers rather than a foreign enemy.

I’ve heard he’s gunning for the Townsville Cup next

Even Trump, in his small isolated mind, understands that the World Cup is the most watched sports event in the world. He fully well knows that this is his chance to show off globally and make a whole load of claims about it being the best World Cup, the Canadians and Mexicans screwing it up etc. . If anything, I can see him wanting to take games away from Canada and Mexico so they’re only played in the US. That or he’ll make demands for FIFA to reinstate Russia

Also, “Johnny” from FIFA always says nice things about him

I’m getting real Hitler and the 1936 Olympic vibes. Hopefully the Socceroos can be the Jesse Owens in this analogy

Tump will get to hand over the World Cup…. Imagine the cameras… there is no way he is going to miss out on that piece of history

Fuck that guy. Let dodgy celebrity chef “Salt Bae” get to fondle the world cup again.

No but I’d bet the match ball is delivered my a mini cyber truck

If it is the ball will never make it to the ref.
