At the end of the day the fans supporting their teams get screwed the most.
Dissappointing to who?
Exactly they’re so disappointed but they didn’t lower prices so a lifelong soccer fan with an average income like myself can afford to go. The way prices are right now, it’s simply not an option, i couldn’t afford it on a credit card even if i was willing to ruin my finances!
All the scalpers who expected to flip pre-sold units on the secondary market
oh no…should we start a crowdfund for them?
Let’s sell the house and go watch a few world cup games!
American itself is the reason.
Good
Money talks, bullshit walks.
We’ll see what happens when this starts hitting the bottom line of big businesses.
Well no shit. Who wants to disclose their entire lives to a fascist government, and then be at the absolute mercy of a bunch of homeschooled ICE morons?
If they were homeschooled, they’d probably be better off.
Who wants to disclose their entire lives to a fascist government, and then be at the absolute mercy of a bunch of homeschooled ICE morons?
This is basically the devil’s bargain all those Qatari social media influencers made
homeschooled ICE morons
You wish they had even that level of education…
Countries don’t like also being treated as vassal states for rednecks.
How is this Possible? They gave him the PEACE PRIZE for GODS Sake!
Good
I don’t want to be here and I live here.
Most americans don’t like this type of football, but the rest of the world does.
Somehow tourists don’t like the prospect of potentially ending up in a concentration camp…
Its not going to matter.
Every stadium will be packed come game time.
With whom? Americans are just confused if people actually play football with their feet.
Considering an average MLS game has an attendance around 22k im not sure you understand what you are attempting to dunk on.
But i get it, america dumb and what not. Meanwhile, quatar built their stadiums with slave labor, averaging 2 slave deaths a day on certain projects and every game was packed to the fucking gills.
Live in reality.
Ahhh yes, American Football, the game where you generally throw the ball.
… that is not even a ball but an ellipsoid.
Eggball.
And paying 5K or whatever for the priviledge
It’s $5000,$10000, or $15000, just for a bond if your from a country the racists don’t like.
“Oh you liked a posting calling the president fat? Let’s see where we can extradite you.”
Ya I just don’t understand the problem!
This should be the worst sporting event ever. 1936 Olympics should be a shining star in comparison.
Actually, the 1936 Olympics were quite successful despite efforts to boycott them.
Fascism was celebrated in 1936 Olympics so it is being celebrated in this World Cup. It was however Jesse Owens who is remembered about 1936. I can’t find any examples this time around.
I can’t find any examples this time around.
Does Cuba have a team in it?
Would be nice to see them beat the US team in the last round on US soil.
No, they didn’t qualify. They did qualify for the “youth” version, but that’s later and in Qatar.
Which infantino is this cluster fuck going to get blamed on more?
Either when the world cup was in my country I didn’t go to any matches. Not that I could afford it, but even if I could I still wouldn’t have gone.
This time I won’t even watch it on the TV. That’s how much I dislike that fat cunt paedo and his regime.(I also didn’t watch it when it was in Qatar.)
Better late than never.
Italy getting repeatedly eliminated from the world cup is one of the best things that happened to this country in the last years
I won’t even watch it on the TV. That’s how much I dislike that fat cunt paedo
Not watching soccer on TV isn’t the anti-fascist resistance flex you think it is.
Boycotts matter. Advertisers spend a lot of money on air time and they know when they’re not getting a return on views.
Yes, boycotts matter. Real boycotts, like the Montgomery bus boycott that lasted for months and truly hurt the recipient financially - what MLK called “economic withdrawal”.
Punctual boycotts like buying nothing for one day, or not watching something on TV, are just feel-good stuff that actually achieve nothing at all.
Also, I will point out that it took a lot more than not listening to Hitler’s speeches on the radio to defeat him.
So yeah, do not watch the matches if it makes you feel better. But it won’t change a damn thing.
You shouldn’t watch anything put on by that org FIFA. Doesn’t really matter how little it does.
Well thank god we have heroes like you to remind us that our minor acts of resistance are completely pointless. God forbid we build up to anything 🙄
Minor acts of resistance aren’t pointless: pointless acts of resistance are pointless.
You sure did pick the perfect username.

I haven’t watched international soccer since they awarded Russia and Qatar with the World Cup. Fucking corrupt pieces of shit supporting the worst people.
Fifa is just getting more corrupt too. They are really leaning into it, even after the last president or whatever had to step down because of it.
Really makes me wonder who they’ll find to host the next World Cup.
Afghanistan, perhaps?
Maybe Argentina?
If Milei hasn’t rendered it insolvent in time for the next host picking process, that is.
They recently tried to host Copa America and had to change hosts last minute because they couldn’t afford to pay contractors
Watch them do it in Israel
Fuck… can I bet on this on Kalshi or whatever, it’s for sure gonna happen now and I might as well get in early
Guess where they’ll build the stadiums… I heard they currently have a huge area of land paved flat
Exactly
And they might even have lots of cheap labor from people that are starving
