So… after the ridiculous peace prize trump is now even forcing FIFA to manipulate the game in their favour.

If Europe had any balls we would just go home and start a new organisation to replace the corrupt FIFA. We should have never even accepted to play in trumpistan

    I don’t mean a European organisation. I mean an international one that excludes the USA

      Ah, that. Yeah, I understand the sentiment, but of course that’s never going to happen. It’s not as if any of it is actually about the game for those people, anyway.

        Living in a football-crazy country (back during the time of the Fascist dictatorship here, Football used to be one of the methods the Fascists purposefully used to distract the masses) and having lived in other countries in Europe some of which almost as football crazy (like the UK), IMHO football fans are some of the most stupid, most serville people around - tribalist sheeple whose idea of pushing back is to fight with tribalist sheeple who wear a differently colored shirt and whose understanding of “power” in that sport starts and ends at being a game referee.

        Even otherwise mildly intelligent people seem to lose 50 IQ points when it comes to “their” team or “their” national team.

        So I expect that nothing at all is going to happen.

        PS: And I mean Football in the European sense, not the American sense.
