I bet that last panel upsets a bunch of conservatices and tankies so it's my favorite.

Gee I wonder why they would be upset? Could it be the treatment of certain teams and fans by ICE? Could it be blatant corruption within FIFA? Could it be outrageously price gouged seat? Could it be because the USA is enabling genocide in Gaza?the list could go on but yes thanks America

Edit: don't get me wrong fuck tankies but supporting the US here makes 0 sense.

Definitely wouldn't support the federal gov and certainly understand being upset with the voting plurality, but I support the America that Norway is talking about here.

I too support the America Norway is talking about here but that Amrica wasn't the one on display this world cup. I don't want to argue because I understand the message but it was so blatantly the opposite that it genuinely pains me to see this. Regardless of what tankies and conservatives feel. Broken clocks are right twice a day and in this case it was the lowest hanging fruit possible.

Mexico and Canada are also hosting, they deserve to be mentioned too or trump will take the credits

Norway played every one of their games in the US

And it's a message from the Washington's embassy.

Technically “America” includes them too but yes, I see the US flag there too.

I know it looks better this way for, like, art reasons... but they're rowing backwards 🤭

The ship's face should be on the other end tho.

Turning the boat around was difficult so they stuck to reverse gear

Loved that one fan taking a "stance" against the rowing basically because "it's stupid and actually the Norwegian sailed not rowed", just so weirdly pedantic lmao

Norway's social capital ticked up this year

After a while, I was rowing with them. It was fun to watch.

I bet the message sent to the English wasn't as nice.

"Jeeves, have the Norwegians issued any statements about the cup?"

"Yes, sire."

"Read it to me."

"It's one initialism, sire. No images included, just 'GTFO'."

"Wot?"
