Okay but the reason why they can’t do it is the World Cup expanded teams from 32 -48. That’s too many teams for 1 country. Canada doesn’t have the infrastructure. Mexico could do 32 but 48 this late with the world
Cup starting this summer. It’s not gonna happen.

Justified. But never gonna happen

Mexico has worse public safety, Qatar held it, Russia held it. Both had far more strict policies for visitors. It’s the World Cup, North Korea and Iran have competed in it.

If the US is not removed, then every match should be treated as a mass protest opportunity. Every live broadcast should have protests in the background when they do establishing shots. All the spectators should have to walk through a forest of protest signs.
The world should know that we are still resisting, and that there will always be opposition to Fascism in the United States.

you call them tourists, he calls them hostages.

The FIFA president literally gave him a participation trophy. They aren’t moving anything

Do it

Honestly, it would be the safest thing for fans and athletes. Does FIFA have the balls? Probably not. But it would be a good idea.

Why would they do that? Because of all the peace? /s

What’s sad about it?

FIFA is corrupt to the core. They contrived a peace prize to placate Trump. There’s no way in hell the World Cup will be moved.

Cancel going to USA.

Coming to the us from another country for a sporting event would be dumb.

Why do people think this is ever going to happen?
It’s not.
“Maybe” a better shot with the Olympics in 2028 if we keep this shit up. But Fifa does not give a shit and will keep things going as planned.

We need the national teams to boycott.

Honestly, I think it will be the most entertaining World Cup ever, like watching an explosion.
Note: I have no intrest in football at all and usually dont care about anything related to it.

While unlikely, it is important to note that besides protecting innocent tourists from ICE by canceling the World Cup in the United States during the Trump administration, it will also minimize the gentrification of many local communities where the events will be held.

I wouldn’t be sad. I was planning on going to Mexico anyway.

Trump would literally declare war with rest of the world.
I would love to have Mexico and Canada split up the matches that were to be played in the US.

It would make more impact for countries to boycott the LA Olympics.

Germany becoming Nazi Germany didn’t stop the Olympics from being held there, and FIFA is more corrupt than even the IOC by orders of magnitude.

They gave Trump a made-up prize to suck up to him. They don’t give a fuck about human rights or anything else. Only money.
FluffyPantsMcGee on
Do it and tell the world why. Sadly not going to happen.
rudebii on
Not only do I think it highly improbable that the US would be removed as a cohost, I don’t think any team will boycott.
Some fans might boycott the matches in-person and refuse to watch them, but I don’t think there will be a significant amount of that, either.
FlintheartGlomgold_ on
Well. At this point it’s best for everyone to just cancel their tickets, not go, not watch, and not give another fuck. If everyone did that, FIFA would loose so much money.

And it must be done.

It just won’t happen. It should, but it just won’t. If they did, you just know Trump will sue for $150 Trillion and will slap 200% Tariffs on the island of FIFA.
*A 2021 investigation by The Guardian found that at least 6,500 migrant workers died during the construction of World Cup venues and infrastructure in Qatar.*
A precedent was set at at least 6,500. Unless of course we are saying white American lives count for more?

I have tickets to a couple rounds, won a lottery to get the chance to buy them, partner and I grew up playing and partner played D1 in college. It’s a sport that we both deeply love. We’re selling our tickets.

Didn’t they host the last world cup in Qatar🤡? Didn’t they give a “peace prize” to Trump? Why are we pretending FIFA has any moral upper hand?

I’d be surprised if they changed it.
‘The 1936 Summer Olympics were held in Berlin, Germany, from August 1 to 16, during the Nazi regime. These Games were used as a propaganda tool by Adolf Hitler to promote the ideals of the Nazi party while masking the regime’s discriminatory policies against Jews and other groups.’
