If you're banking on FIFA to do the right thing, you're in for a world of disappointment.

Fifa loves dictators so trump will fit right in

Even if he said he stopped, would you trust him? The only way this ends is he is completely gone from power.

From power oh it’ll take a little more than that. You gotta defile those things completely or they’ll come back to life.

Probably not even then as JD is probably just as bad.

isnt the plan to arrest all the teams so usa wins by default?

Well it isn't like both teams and spectators haven't been warned. Any foreigner willingly setting foot inside the US deserves whatever ICE does to them.

An alarming number of people don't think the rules apply to them. That's what I've learned from Trump's rise to power

Can a single man both be censured by FIFA for raiding people at World Cup events and win the FIFA Peace Prize?

They may so something unprecedented like asking for the FIFA peace prize back.

You would have to be a “mad” fan to go to this World Cup. Who knows what quota the ICE bounty hunters are trying to fill.

What are the odds that one of the competing teams will be messed with? I mean there's enough money involved where the actual players will be fine, but the support staff their friends and family? Got to wonder.

To hell with FIFA. They gave him the peace prize so they can cope with their bullshit.

Treczoks@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 148d

They gave this asshole a worthless "Peace Prize". Let them live with their illusions.

It is high time for other countries to issue an official travel warning for the USA.
