  1. My husband lost respect when Messi was permitted to roll off side field onto the field to run down the clock.

    Its rigged by what referees calls and when he doesn't call. Were done with FIFA.

  2. The last one was in Qatar. I'm in my 40s and grew up with it but football has been destroyed.

  3. Hoping for lots of empty seats and big lo$$es at the US venues because people from other countries are staying away.

    Everything Trump touches turns to 💩. World Cup will be no different.

  5. There are approximately 3.5 billion soccer fans worldwide. FIFA’s collaboration with the current administration will not be taken lightly. The Untied States doesn’t even make the top 10 of the countries with the greatest soccer fans. FIFA is not acting intelligently.

  7. FIFA is a criminal organization that loves money. They really don’t care about the players or the hosting country. Their primary focus is to make money. Not buying tickets is one way to hit them where it hurts.

    This must be that big government conservatives have spent decades complaining about.

  9. I will try to find a way to watch the games using some other medium other than whatever major network in the United States is showing them on.

  10. Gianni Infantino comes, just like Sepp Blatter, from the beautiful canton of Valais. Anyone who knows this sunny valley knows that nepotism was invented there, and that is why the FIFA boss always feels at home among the most corrupt of the corrupt. 😉

  11. Infantino made conciliatory mouth noises but none of the quotes indicate he's in favor of moving sites, something that would be quite difficult. Infantino is utterly corrupt, not stupid.

  13. as someone who lives close enough to the stadiums in seattle to spit on them, i welcome the change of venue 🙃🤷

  14. Since (apparently) every major US city is unsafe, it’s clear that FIFA should move the World Cup out of the US altogether.

  15. um...FIFA has always been corrupt. Son-in-law from Brazil told me that decades ago. He knew a family involved in illegal ticket sales...supported by FIFA...way to ruin another amazing sport

  16. FIFA once ordered Brazil around in 2014, but today Qatar and the U.S. keep Infantino under their thumb. Curious why that is? Perhaps because cash is.

  17. trump‘s bullshit has already damaged the World Cup and he is resorting to his tried and true pattern of deflection so he will be able to blame others for his f— ups…boycott is the best answer …🤷

  18. Only oligarchs and corporations can afford the tickets anyway. Imagine how fun the venues will be once moved to MAGAT Land.

  19. I didn't watch the last one out of respect for the slavery in Qatar. Won't be watching this one for obvious reasons, but a special shout out to Infantino who carries on the great FIFA tradition of being supremely corrupt. Well done Gianni.

  20. Will Infantino allow America back in the tournament when they inevitably get knocked out at the group stage? And then again, when they lose in the knockout matches? And so on until America win it, and Trump gets to keep the trophy?

  23. And they made up a peace prize to award to him because he didn't earn a real one. Such a fucking joke. It's a participation trophy. The corruption runs way deeper than any of us can ever imagine.

  24. I will not watch or spend any $$ on international soccer again until a new Governing Body is created from the ashes of FIFA.

  25. After Qatar, if they allow him to move cities, I will boycott the whole damn thing. Messi already won one. Don’t need to see him win another

  27. This is sickening.

    Democratic states need to accept the fact that the shit the Sexual $Abuser-in-Chief fantasizes about dropping on Democrats is becoming a reality.

    Under the $S-A-C, Democratic states are now the stepchildren and our Sexual-abusing stepfather is out to cause pain. #25th47 #NOW

    I'm hoping the athletes just say we won't be playing in the US unless trump is out of the conversation. If he insists on the BS they should just strike.

    So they will be moved for political reasons and, once again, America will suffer!

  30. It’s not just finding cities with stadiums but hotels, restaurants etc. FIFA will have to decide soon as people make hotel reservations months in advance. This is really ridiculous silly authoritarianism.

  32. Imagine you're a tourist from another country. You've purchased tickets, travel arrangements, reservations, etc., well in advance, only to find out that, at the insistence of Trump, FIFA moved the game you're attending to the other side of the country.

    Seriously, don't come to this World Cup.

  34. This is only going to hurt both organizations. Americans aren’t as into soccer as other places, but ice has been chasing people out for being foreign, even arresting them for memes. So what foreign fans are going to want to come and risk getting arrested by a no necked mall cop wannabe

  35. I'm convinced the world cup next year is going to be a giant clusterfuck with ICE arresting tourists, team members, and supporting staff to such an extent nations will announce they're afraid to participate in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

  36. Was anybody buying the tickets anyway? Are males that shallow that they'd support a hateful fascist to see games they can stream? Yes.

  37. It is startling how easy it has been for Trump to use the power of the USA for his personal and political gains. It goes to show how much we depended upon the honor, loyalty, and ethics of prior presidents NOT to exploit their power in this grotesque way

  38. There's a lot of expense and preparation that has gone into these cities, in anticipation of the World Cup. I just don't see how it will even be possible to move venues at short notice, just on a whim.

  39. Funny how all the media had 1000s of hours of coverage on migrant workers rights, LBGTQ+ rights etc for Qatar but, aside from a few, no one is even thinking about writing about the abuses in the US and will just all go along and say how great it is…

  40. Bang on Max I can’t watch my England - for the first time since 1982 (my parents moved house & sat me in front of back-to-back matches to keep me entertained). It’s the gammons I’d be alongside, the Trump shite & the likely schedule of matches… all surrounded by Gestapo & FIFA with brown envelopes

    1
  41. Oh well. Fifa is complicit. Therefore I won't watch a single match of the world cup, nor participate in anyway at all.

    Of course, none of the participating national teams and players will hear/read this but I encourage them to boycott this world cup.

  42. Any overseas fans who travel to the US - don’t expect sympathy when ICE kidnaps you.

  43. Yes; once again, billions of us can see the grift, in plain sight, in the light of every day.

    the cleansing fire calls every day as well

  44. It is not safe to travel to the US right now, trump's nazi thugs are indiscriminately abusing and murdering people for no reason, even US citizens are not safe. Do not come here until trump's illegal murderous regime is toppled. #BoycottUSWorldCup

  45. I love football. It’s a religion in the UK! BUT… I won’t be watching any games hosted in the USA this time bc of the orange buffoon and his corrupt government. He’s an INTERNATIONAL DISGRACE AND EMBARRASSMENT.

  46. Tourism is down across the board in the tunes of billions of dollars. Have fun FIFA with your empty stadiums. The people of the world are not stupid.

    Anyone buying tickets for games that might be shifted hundreds or even thousands of miles away due to politics needs their head examined.

    And lets face it, there's a fair chance that supporters could be arrested and 'disappeared' when they arrive...

  49. "Tensions erupted into street protests in Los Angeles in June leading Trump to deploy National Guard troops." I'm pretty sure It was the other way around, tensions erupted BECAUSE of the deployment of National Guard troops. The wording matters.
