The US is not safe. Please do not come here. It doesn't matter what promises you get from our government. They are not operating in good faith. Don't send your players here, don't visit as spectators. Please, do not come here. The US is not safe.

Especially if you are from a country that has to pay the $15k bond. There is no way you're getting that money back, and it is not worth it to attend a world cup. Just go to Brazil next year.

Exactly! I bet they'll find some bullshit reason to throw you in custody and then take the 15K as whatever bullshit fee.

Maybe they should talk to the first ever FIFA peace prize winner since they're his private military.

The same fifa that gave trump a made up trophy so he would feel better about not getting a peace prize? Yeah, they’re not going to do that.

Art of the deal there - did fifa actually not get concessions for their bribe? Was it too early and he forgot?

First time in decades we're hosting the Olympics and World Cup, and it's going to be ruined by a felon pedophile.

It was ruined by FIFA and the IOC.

Trump just gave them the space to fully reveal themselves.

I wonder how many illegal immigrants Kroenke Sports & Entertainment employs. It's never the business owners who are punished for hiring people who don't have the right to work in the US, even though they save huge amounts of money by doing it.

At least as important is how many citizens and documented workers are terrorized by the threats and lack of due process and accountability
