O/T - World Cup 2026 Canada, Mexico, Trumpland

[JamesMcClean]

Its literally the worst ever choice at the worst ever time to have the World Cup in Trumps America, even worse than Qatar 2022.
Fifa are just bent as f*ck tbh. The world cup should always always be played in countries where football ( Not f*cking soccer!) Is a way of life and has tradition, meaning and an actual legacy. F*ck America and f*ck Trump!

I’m going primarily because I’ve never been to a World Cup and seeing as it’s been 28 years since we’ve been at one then if it’s another 28 years then I may well be deid. Spain/Portugal in 4 years will be a good one but then of course we’ve got to actually phucking qualify and there’s no guarantee of that whatsoever. And then phuck going to Saudi in 2034. So regardless of location it’s all or nothing for me - politics never came in to it. But I appreciate everyone’s got different stances.

Yeah thats fair enough James. I just hate everything that America stands for, and I hate SOCCER! 🤣

I see that Manny started and played 76 mins for Ghana in a friendly against Mexico last night so looking good for him being part of their squad you would hope. So that would be him and Naamo going. Not sure if we’d qualify for Jesse Randall going with NZ as not sure if he’d officially be our player by then or not. What’s the story with the FIFA dosh per player? Are we not due to get a decent wedge for each participant?
