      It’ll be fun zooming in on the “enhanced” crowd to see all the people with three arms and Francis Bacon faces.

    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.

    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.

    And after FIFA gave the prestigious FIFA peace prize to that great peacemaker we call our President. (/s, if that wasn’t obvious).

    I don’t feel like being shot because I will inevitably call an ICE agent a Nazi and tell him to go fuck himself.

    considering LA was the first site of the “ice invasion” it got people scared as it was heavily televised throughout the world. THE MSM realized it so they stopped reporting on ice raids as much as they did.

    OK. First, FIFA booking out a heap of hotel rooms then dropping them when they realised they won’t be able to scalp them is shitty behaviour, but probably not out of the norm. Raising prices to astronomical heights is also shitty behaviour, but it’s the capitalist nation of the world so what do you expect?

    The elephant in the room that got glossed over with one sentence in the article is: nobody in their right mind wants to visit the USA. The place is a fucking disaster and the chances of a foreigner getting shot, locked up or deported for pretty much no reason is so high you’ve got to be a total fuckwit to want to go there. If I was given a free ticket to the US with spending money included, I’d still be asking for a refund.

    I still hope the Canada and Mexico games are completely sold out though. Watching the juxtaposition of empty “free world” stadia vs full “shit hole country” stadia is going to be glorious.

      Yeah, dumbshits may not even deport you back to your home country. You from Egypt? Maybe just put you on this plane to El Salvador. Close enough, right?

      You don’t need that many people to fill a stadium. And anyone rich enough to travel around the world for a football match isn’t going to be the type that TSA bothers.

      They won’t let that happen, they’ll give away tickets to homeless people to get bums on seats if that’s what it takes.
