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.
Good news then!
They have it at meadowlands, and NJT wants $98… Most of the European guests assume they can just walk the mile, but that area is such a car dependent hellscape that you literally can’t 🤣🤣🤣 Really paints a picture of the US… If the top city can’t have basic transit or walkable areas then I wouldn’t want to return.
If the World Cup has a lot of half empty stadia, I’d be happy.
It might be interesting if the Mexican and Canadian stadia were full though.
That will never happen. Based on some of the events and attendance of those events the World Cup will be fine. Everybody just won’t be able to charge 1000% markups.
I know I wouldn’t want to travel here. White ladies from Canada, UK, and Australia have ended up in detention centers. They’re supposed to be the demographic MAGA pretends to want to protect.
Hmm…does this mean the Mexican and Canadian host cities are going to get swamped instead?
I have zero interest in attending a game, but I do have to make trips to Toronto and the traffic, even at the best of times…
So, a lot of tickets have been sold, but no hotels have been booked so far? Maybe ticket scalpers don’t need hotels?
And why the heck should anybody travel to the US under the current administration, where ICE puts random people in concentration camps?
I highly recommend people avoid the USA. It’s really bad. Yes, you will be arrested and the more time you spend in prison, the more money they get. So they won’t let you go for months/years. Don’t come here.
Yep bunch of scalpers gonna be out cash…and honestly hope no one from a foreign country comes here until ICE is gone. I think people are realizing how dangerous it is to come here as a foreigner right now.
Thanks to everyone refusing to spend money in or toward my country right now, you’re literally keeping money away from an organization trying to terrorize and imprison us or worse.
Screwing over FIFA is a nice cherry on top too.
I’m leaving the US and one of the first things I did was convert all my USD to local currency. I’m doing my best to actively extract from the US and bring it elsewhere, to hell with my home country
Power to you
I’m confused as to why you think converting your money was a notable act? What was the alternative?
More people dumping usd means lower demand for it, potentially lowers it’s value. I know it’s more complicated than that and my contribution is basically pennies but I’m hoping it helps a bit
That’s… not how currency markets works. At all. Tell me, what do you think happened to the dollars?
You essentially exported them. More US dollars are now in international use than before.
As you said, not a significant amount in any way, but just bizarre to celebrate contributing almost nothing to the wrong outcome.
Do you want them to hold onto it forever, never use it or burn them? (Which will lower inflation for usd based economies anyway)
Next Iran wins Against murica in fifa 2026
It should be the first game. Imagine Trump trying to shut the whole thing down after a loss lol.
Iran’s not going to play in the US. It would be suicidal with how Trump is behaving.
Boycott the shit outta this fash cup
The Aryan came third.
Second, and by all account Luz Long was a standup guy.
Long was the first to congratulate Owens, embracing the African-American in front of Adolf Hitler. Owens was later the best man at the wedding of Long’s son.
Don’t let out of context photos dictate the narrative and warp your views.
But the system was racist, whether he was or not.
The German was second.

Shouldn’t 2nd and 3rd be at different heights?
Most are only higher in the middle.

Both losers.
ist he 2nd? It would make sense for the stands to see the front side of the podium, no?
I’m gonna give you the lemmy peace prize for this, but skip me a few cool billion first

They don’t care if you or any other poors boycott, your pennies mean nothing to them. There needs to be more protestors outside the cup than audience inside it. Clog the stroads. Chant until the words of outside reality break the fantasy within.
Good.
No problem.
FIFA’s inaugural Peace Prize winner will fix everything.
To be clear… you mean he’s going to determine the winning team, right?
If by “winning team” you mean “claims the trophy for himself”; yes. But don’t worry, there’s a feast of room temperature McDonald’s waiting for the victors.
only after bettin errr I mean investing heavily in a totally random team, and not the definitive winner… wink wink
Fuck FIFA and their boot licking, corrupt bullshit. Somehow I think they’ve managed to be more corrupt than any of the US based sporting organizations.
FIFA is up there as one of the most corrupt organizations out there. There’s not a US sporting org that even comes close.
Cheerleading might come close.
Bunch of pedos
Its also very dangerous and they’ve avoided being labeled a “sport” to avoid certain regulations. According to this article it accounts for over 50% of catastrophic injuries in female athletes - https://www.sportsmed.org/membership/sports-medicine-update/winter-2025/flips-falls-and-fractures-the-reality-of-cheerleading-injuries
It may have gotten better in recent years, it’s been a while since I read up on the subject.
Good point. Cheerleading and gymnastics, although idk if that’s mainly a US problem.
LOL. Liberty Media, Indy 500…
No one outside of USA has heard of either. FIFA is a global organisation.
No one outside the USA has heard of Formula 1? Ok.
Indy 500 has nothing to do with Formula 1. Different cars, different rules, different drivers, etc.
Liberty Media owns Formula One Management (FOM), the company responsible for the production of F1 as a piece of media, while the International Automobile Federation (FIA) is responsible for the rule formula itself, the stewards, marshalls, race director, etc.
So when the person said, “no one outside of the US has heard of either” they were wrong. Liberty Media certainly isn’t as well-known a name as Formula 1, but it owns Formula 1.
And Formula one is massively corrupt. F1 races are also hotbeds of human trafficking.
There may be some races, but ladies, that’s not why your husband is there.
IndyCar is run by a few billionaires who all support MAGA, and your government spends hundreds of millions of your taxpayer dollars supporting teams.
Roger Penske getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom for no reason.
Who said F1 had anything to do with indycar? Fucking read?
Indycar is broadcast in 200 countries. It’s just another big corrupt sport.
I’m not familiar with the corruption of Indy 500 and I hadn’t heard of Liberty Media until reading this comment chain. Is Liberty Media a US based org or does F1 just have some events in the US?
They have always been a corrupt to the bone org.
This article is still trying to sale the world cup to Americans. Blue dot fever is everywhere this summer. The only reason you should be traveling for the world cup is to hold up a sign on the outside calling for the arrest BB and Trump.
I must be out of the loop. What does “blue dot fever” mean?
It’s a reference to Carl Sagan’s “pale blue dot” speech. The blue dot is planet Earth. Blue Dot Fever is about the whole world coming together to reject fascism in Israel and the United States.
Blue Dot Fever is a reference to the symbol and color used by ticket services (ie Ticker Master) to indicate an open seat at a event.
Edit: Many events have been canceled by artist and shows so to the population (manly in America) not having money because of oligarchy is running rampant.
