FIFA members should anounce that they will boycot Football World Cup event if USA does not guarantee respect and safety of the supporters that will travell in USA.
The US has Europe under its control for the mist part. That's very likely to change in the future but for now they are dependent on the US military and other resources.
They should boycott even if the USA does give guarantees. What good is a guarantee under this administration?
they should boycott it just to crush the us economy.
IIRC, that would backfire. FIFA doesn't help the economy of the countries that host, it's just a financial drain overall.
And you'd be morons to believe any promises Trump makes that do not wildly enrich him & his cronies..
I keep seeing people on the right say, "No one has a sense of humor anymore." There's nothing wrong with my sense of humor. This shit isn't funny. You have to have the mental maturity of a twelve year-old to find it funny.
Bullies think they're the funniest people.
And he’ll steal your bike 
James Donald Bowman is a perfidious shithead.
And I will use every opportunity to deadname his ass.
that's smart just make your biggest tourist event even less desirable
The way Nazis would've joked about "gas leaks" in the chambers or some shit. It's like they want to be as despicable as they can be.
The USA will be the first country to host the World Cup and lose money on the deal.
Tourists will go to Canada and Mexico for the games.
Only Americans will go to the USA games.
Turns out : there’s not that many USA soccer fans.
How do I do a put on World Cup futures ?
Not really the same but there are some etf's that track msci world without us companies, although these companies might still be naive and spent money on world cup ads.

It's not a joke, they're already detaining tourists
Jokes...jokes....
They don't fucking joke, they are laughing when they say it because they are evil maniacal Nazis.
For real. If I wasn’t already here, I wouldn’t come to America for any reason. The odds of being detained and / or hassled have skyrocketed. Of course it’s exponentially worse if your skin color is on the darker side…
Fuck I hate this government.
At this point I wouldn't even be surprised if they detained me on the border for being too white. It's suspicious! What am I hiding?!
I don't think I'll be visiting your beautiful country in the next few years unfortunately.
I'd say I'll be boycotting any advertisers but in reality most are american and are already on the list anyway
how tf did statesia get the world cup
It was decided years ago when the lunatics weren't running the asylum.
I was thinking less corrupt statesia and more statesia doesn't give a shit about football
A combination of two things. First, after losing a previous bid to Qatar, the USA started arresting FIFA members for corruption. Second, FIFA recently expanded the tournament to need more stadiums and the USA is one of few countries that can host at a low cost.
🤑🤑🤑
Hahahahaha good joke Mr. Vice President of the "Free World"
Fucking conservative fascists
It's going to happen.
Just another reason to avoid the US.
Germany has the opportunity to do something really funny
Invade Poland?
"Jokes."
Powertripping?
I can't imagine any other reason except wanting like to be left alone.
Wow, right out loud in the open. I wonder if they'll make it a slogan, like MAGA. "Go home or talk to Noem!"
God, this world is bleak.
Good one JD keep making those jokes the tourists love them.
As an American it's another reason why I think we should be barred from hosting world sporting events. Also why the Olympics should be moved. The US is not to be trusted.
No, they need to go ahead and go through with it, and then watch their Olympians get detained by the American government, and the backlash would be glorious
Original nazis also had their Olympics, would be unfair to not allow that for trump /s
Such great comedy.
Funny, it doesn't feel great from the inside.
To make American great again implies one of two things.
- It needs to get worse before it gets better.
- It currently is not, or was not great.
It clearly implies that America was once great.
It does not imply that America has to get any worse.
Anyway, that's all moot. It's really all just racist dog whistling.
Absolute death worshipping ghouls
Jesus Christ they're already fucking up US citizens right to be here, what makes anyone think this will go smoothly?
Visiting the US right now seems like a very bad idea
And by 'detain', they mean arrest. And by 'jokes', they mean get your coat.
Trump and Vance are just mirrors of american society... And they are huge assholes for sure. Make of that what you will.
