    If People from outsite us seriously are attending this event, I loose all hope in humanity. Attending in Mexico or Canada is fine. But don’t cross any boarders to the usa.

    Our government is currently murdering citizens and disappearing brown people. Literally, why would anybody come here. My advice to everybody is that it’s not worth the risk.

    American here. Don’t come see us right now. Our place is a fucking mess and we really need to clean up, and it’s gonna be a long, long time before we’re ready for visitors.

    It’s not that I’m boycotting FIFA as much as I’m just not going to the US because I’m not a self-destructive idiot with a death wish.

    I would be genuinely shocked if FIFA notices or feels any impact. Qatar was a huge success for them regardless of their country’s issues.

    First time U.S. is having the World Cup and Olympics in DECADES and it’s while this felon rapist traitor is running the show.

    Guess those things are off my bucket list.

    World Cup in Mexico and Canada. Kick USA out, they don’t understand Football and will terrorize fans.

    Edit: They didn’t stop Nazi Germany to host Olympic games in 1936, it is not too late to stop USA to host World Cup and Olympic games while nazis are in power.

    The teams should be boycotting too, but that would require having a spine, such a thing is rarely found in the soccer football world.
