      My thoughts exactly… the country that we are actively brainwashing and saying is evil doesn’t have weight. On the other hand, if the whole tournament was say, The US, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, everyone else boycots it… that’s the kind of middle finger the US needs to realize just how badly we’ve pissed off the world.

      That being said, how hard would it be for a nation to sort of… host a non-fifa world cup. IE I’d hate to see the players and teams work go to waste, and honestly it being done this year on the personal level everyone could see it as the real one.

      Ice doesn’t have drones, yet. But your comment reminded me of a game from my youth. Mutant football league. (Shut up, I’m old). It was awesome. Mines and pits all over the field. At the time sports games were rather boring. That game was so fun because you could use the field dangers to do better, and better utilize your team with its flaws to overcome better teams if you were smart about it. There was also a mutant hockey league game that was just as fun, if not moreso because it was faster, which made it easier to hit those environmental dangers.

        There’s a sequel to ‘Mutant League Football’, from 2017, called ‘Mutant Football League’. And a sequel to the sequel.

        What I meant was, there’s a war on. So whatever happens to a soccer team is of zero interest in comparison.

        It’s like if your house burned down and your neighbor told you “I guess you can’t send your kid to little Timmy’s birthday party then”. Fucking off-topic.
