Allegedly Trumps Lawyers were given access to read over all of the relevant papers belonging to FIFA, granted by Infantino, so they already know what can and can't be done legally.
It wouldn't surprise me to find out that countries/teams are unable to boycott, but should do it anyway.
I mean even if you have to play by some weird agreement, nobody can force you legally to bring your best team. Make a national lottery where everyone eligible can win a player spot and a free luxury holiday at the tournament countries. Tickets 5€ each, pay the expenses with the money, rest goes to a good cause (FIFA Children's Foundation 😈).

So this is the fucking straw? This? Not the slavery or all of the other human rights concerns?

Its funny how a corrupt shithole like UEFA is acting highly on morals because FIFA is more of a corrupt dumpster than them.

Relatable, but unrelated to the actual story.

I hope the other regional unions join in and tell Infantino where to put his investment plans.

Of all the things that will happen, this is not one of them
