FIFA should pull all of the 2026 World Cup matches scheduled to be played on US soil & reassign them to venues in Canada.

That includes the World Cup final scheduled to be played at the Meadowlands.

This is not a country suited to host an international event now & won’t be until 2029.

  1. IOC should do same with the 2028 Olympics.

    LA is absolutely perfect for a Summer Games. Perfect weather, most of the arenas and other venues are already in place.

    But…again, this is not a country well suited or safe to host the world for an Olympiad.

    Give LA the 2032 Games. Nothing lost that way.

  2. Yes but have you seen where the recent world cups have been we are pretty on par right now

  3. Agree, except I think you are overly optimistic and thinking it will be suitable in 2029. Russia has left under one dictator or another for over a century now.

  4. As a very proud Canadian I’m pleased that some of you think we could take on next year’s World Cup. But can we also show some respect to Mexico? They were chosen with Canada to host some games. FIFA should divide the Cup between Mexico and Canada. Fuck amerika

  5. Fans also won’t be happy about the 250$ visa thingy. And JD Vance has been making nasty remarks about soccer fans trying to overstay their welcome. America, the hospitable.

  6. FIFA being FIFA, they will always give a dictator a show in exchange for a large bundle of cash. They're mercenary bastards without consciences.

    I suppose they might at least think about it if spectator safety became enough of an issue to threaten their next bundle of cash.

  7. I hate that orange shit bag as much as the next guy…respectfully, fuck that. This upcoming tournament is far bigger than that bitch

  8. I see your point - Trump would have the athletes deported before competing so that the USA will become MAWA ( make-america-winners-again )

    not a statement on the quality of American athletes

  9. Boycott FIFA … IF THEY PLAY INTHE USA! DO NOT SELL OUT TO THESE NAZIS… like was done in 1930’s Olympics! The US is now a Nazi dictatorship. Stand opposed to any international athletic competitions!

  10. Absolutely. Same with the IOC. And they have much more time to make new arrangements. No excuses.

  11. Right now, it is essentially similar to the 1936 Olympics held in Nazi Germany. Trump and company arent welcoming to non-Americans, they shouldn't be rewarded with games from non-Americans.

  12. That is definitely not going to happen. FIFA is being backed by trump and the saudi government that they are becoming even more corrupt than they are right now.

  13. I don’t think it is safe for any athletes to come to the US for any games right now. The indiscriminate way ICE is profiling and rounding up anyone and everyone should cause these teams some very real concern. ICE is way out of control and acting illegally. FIFA really should reconsider.

    0
  14. No chance of this happening. FIFA are basically parked up Trump ass now. The World Cup used to be a great event for showcasing a country and its love for Football (while also making money) Now its being exploited for $$$$ like every other form of entertainment.

  15. So you’re asking the most corrupt organization, that just hosted the last World Cup in stadiums built by slaves to do the right thing?

    The US will be like safe haven for them.

  16. Agreed. Imagine, they have ICE showing up when Latin American teams are playing to scoop up Latino fans and tourists so they make their quotas. There’s a reason Bad Bunny isn’t touring in the US.

  17. As much as I love Canada, I believe most of the big games should be relocated to Mexico, as they have the football/soccer venues already in place to handle the crowd size with proper playing surfaces for international caliber games.

  18. Agree, agree, agree!!!!

    IMO, we are in grave danger that it will be far too late by 2029.

    The remaining free countries in this world need to eschew the US until we overthrow the current fascist regime.

    No joke, I really feel that those of us who love democracy need their help.

  19. Don't know that it will ever be again and definitely not 2029. These guys are entrenched. They've been working on this for decades. A simple vote will only stall, if that. Im sorry, but everyone needs to wake up and move past that thinking if America is to be salvaged.

  20. Coming to terms with the fact I turn 35 after the next election. Time is weird to think about

  21. Trump has said he will activate military for events & they will “inspect” female athletes to make sure they aren’t trans. Combine those atrocities w ICE kidnapping foreign visitors & holding them in prison for weeks even tho they have passports & visas. Nations need to stay away or move these venues

  22. The world of international sport has no shame or sense of justice. Russia and China hosted the Olympics, the Saudis took over the PGA, and banned women from sports competition along with Afghanistan, Brunei, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates. Or when Rubiales forcibly kissed Jenni Hermoso?

  23. It’s not safe for any foreign travelers. Even Americans are being harassed and having their phones looked through for anti Trump err I mean anti American social posts or photos. It’s outrageous. In my America we were able to say whatever we wanted about the president and they were an adult about it.

  24. Of all the organizations in the world, FIFA is the one least bothered by blatant corruption, rampant fraud/bribery, and authoritarian regimes. FIFA worships at the altar of money and only the altar of money.

  25. Not watching anyway ( it clashes with Le Tour) but still I would rather count the wrinkles on my dog’s balls

  26. Can't disagree but Argentina '78, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, yeah, there's no chance they're doing that for human rights purposes.

    They MIGHT get queasy if Miller's monomania overcomes the dotard's desire to put on a good show, so they seem likely to arrest fans and players. But no lead time then.

  28. 2029? Do we think the cause of our problems will be gone by then? They lie, cheat and steal and they will rig the next election one way or another. Then they have a whole line of succession planned. Will we EVER be normal again?

  29. Totally agree, but ...

    Does anyone remember Russia 2018 or Qatar 2022?

    FIFA and the World Cup are corrupt. I may never travel to watch them live again. 😕

  30. They had them in Qatar where thousands died to build the stadiums, they had them in Russia after the 2014 invasion of Crimea, in 2034 they’re going to Saudi, FIFA doesn’t care. Same for the Olympics: they had them in Nazi Germany in 1936

  31. I think we have a better shot at the Olympics moving. The last World Cup was in Qatar. FIFA doesn’t give AF.

  32. I think you’re dead on. Alas, I wish someone would create a fund that counted on FIFA doing the right thing so I could short it.

  33. There’s is no way Trump is leaving office in 2029, he’ll lie, cheat, intimidate, ignore any law and start a false war to keep himself in power

  34. Laughable. The heads of FIFA, all well know grifters, would end up with International Warrants issued against them once our Dear Leader unleashes the NSA and the FBI on their graft. They don't own enough Bitcoin to pay him off either - he's too into it now.

  35. Takes like this are so uniformed it is painful. FIFA gladly hosted a World Cup in Qatar, where thousands of people were killed in order to build the stadium.

    And you seriously think they're going to pull the World Cup from the richest country in the world.

    Get serioius.

  36. The IOC should withdraw the Olympics from LA and ask Tokyo if they want to host again. All of their venues should still be usable and they kind of got rooked by hosting the Games during the pandemic. Great moments played to empty stadiums. Give it to Tokyo again!

  37. lol FIFA fucking loves corrupt leaders. Its very on brand for them to team up with Trump.

  38. Agreed!

    Now, CAN WE PLEASE start referring to the Trump administration as the Turd Reich? Not gonna stop 'til this name goes viral. #TurdReich

  39. This needs to happen for the safety of the players if nothing else. Our country is not safe to visit

  40. I've watched every World Cup and a few matches in person. I absolutely support your idea! The P.R. would only help Trump. Screw that.

  41. As an American who is totally obsessed with international football, watches matches at least weekly, and sees almost all the world cup games, I agree with you. The United States of America is choosing to be outside the world community. Don your dunces cap. Get in the corner. Reflect on what you do.

  42. FIFA rents their headquarters from felon47's business, probably at three times normal market rates (one third to you, one third for the orange pedophile and one third for his criminal company). FIFA is as corrupt as felon47

  43. I agree but it’s all about the money and they’ve proven themselves corrupt time after time. Don’t go, don’t watch, don’t follow. Take their money.

  44. Also, the USA, Russia, and Israel should not be allowed to participate if they were going to, wherever it is held..

  45. 100% they should. The US is not a safe space for players, officials, and fans of so many of the competing nations. If FIFA wasn't one of the most corrupt organisations on the planet, they would act NOW to move US games.

  46. Lol..yer talking about an organization so corrupt they went to qatar and other countries that abuse human rights like they chew gum

    Stop dreaming

  47. You're assuming FIFA has some kind of moral beliefs

    Let them fall flat on their faces and be embarrassed by such low attendance. Watch the fire sales of tickets/hotels/airfares

    One day Trump will be referred to as the "Disgraced former president"

  48. He’s charging for visas and would not surprise me to if they might make up charges on ppl as ICE is allegedly doing to get money from the organization or countries.

  49. Yes FIFA, for the safety of all the players, team staff, media and fans, in addition, to avoid Trump(aka:Pedoführer) rigging the games and stealing the real trophy for himself, for his stolen & fake Oval Office trophy collection and because he “loves gold!”Please move the games. 🙏🏻

  50. FIFA is one of the most corrupt organizations in the world. Of course, it will do everything Trump wants. Only if the players were real men would they refuse to play in this competition.
