    Turns out people don’t want to come to your country when you harass them at the gate. Write that down, maybe we’ll remember it for later…probably not.

    This is PR, the group matches may be half full but i guarantee you every game after will be packed. I wish i was wrong but this is just wishful thinking.

    If people are dumb enough to gather around and watch people kick a ball around AND pay anything for that privilige, they are dumb enough to travel anywhere and pay more money.

    US is a stupid shit hole because of stupid people, and watching people play kick ball just drives home how stupid people are.

    There is no hope.

    Edit: I should be more clear: its the weird “rally around MY team, emotionally attached”. You don’t have a team it’s just billionaires investing in a circus. It’s not the athleticism or even watching that part I am criticising. It’s the same with politics, religion, and sports.

    considering LA was the first site of the “ice invasion” it got people scared as it was heavily televised throughout the world. THE MSM realized it so they stopped reporting on ice raids as much as they did.

    Many seemingly invincible businesses empires have collapsed on some beautiful ordinary day when people just said “you know, we can’t pay for this, this is not the price we can pay - we would want to keep doing this, but the price clearly outweighs any benefits to us”.

    And after FIFA gave the prestigious FIFA peace prize to that great peacemaker we call our President. (/s, if that wasn’t obvious).

    I don’t feel like being shot because I will inevitably call an ICE agent a Nazi and tell him to go fuck himself.

    That’s what happens when 70 million voters drink too much nasty Orange Kool-Aid. FIFA should move all the knock out stage matches, including the final, to Mexico and Canada.
