        2018 Russia, 2022 Qatar, 2026 US(Canda/Mexico), … 2034 Saudi Arabia

        It’s not looking good Fifa.

            Not unlikely, the turnout for the Club World Cup which is happening in the US right now has been terrible.

            You had PSG, the winner of the champions leage (think football super bowl) take on Athetico (one of the probably top 10 teams on earth), in LA, the second biggest city in the US, and they couldn’t even fill up the stadium 😭.

        I am no one, but I lost all respect for players after Qatar. They and their fans will walk on dead bodies to any popular event. FIFA just has to lay on the red carpet over the bodies.

    Every time I hear the news from the USA I think: it’s not like things were peachy before Trump 2.0 or even 1.0. How much worse can it get?

      I mentally added the US to countries with weird draconian authoritarian rules like Russia, China, North Korea, etc.

        Many countries are putting out tourism warnings for people wanting to travel there. Invasive practices on entry, chance of being detained if you’re any number of minorities, generally more dangerous, and an increased risk of catching an infectious disease.

          Yes, and fortunately, a lot of people seem to be paying attention. Our government thinks we don’t need the rest of the world? Let us rot in isolation.

    FIVE YEARS? That’s an eternity in internet time. That’s like asking you to remember your 3rd grade nickname.

    Just to make sure I keep the promise to myself to never visit this country:

    “Fuck the US and especially you, Donnie!”

    So who’s betting with me that this won’t be canceled ever, like TSA screenings, even if the US would find their way back to a democracy (after some very intense protests / a civil war 2.0 probably)?

    All those years of sarcasm, shitposts, jokes, photos of your pets, and memes will be the reason you won’t gain entry into Nazi USA. 🤭

      A speaker labeled “Palantir” crackles to life. “Wrong answer. Would you like to try again?”
