As a life-long soccer fan, I’ve dreamed of the world cup coming to the US. But now, between the shame of being an American, the danger this country poses to visitors and FIFA’s corruption and shameless money grabs I want nothing to do with it and hope it gets boycotted.
The US Men can’t win a World Cup fairly, so they’ll just kneecap the other teams with immigration shit instead.
- can’t
Derp, you’re so right. Proofread fail.
You can also just blame autocorrect.
I could, but when it’s my fault I’ll take the heat.
Writing and prose are invaluable tools of interlocutory efforts. I exemplify an extensive history of accusations of bot-generated conversation in online games, established far earlier than the modern wave of Clankers in our midst.
If I fail an edit, it’s my fault. Autocorrect’s execution during the word smithing process or not. My name is on the top, so I stand by the quality of the words as published.
Okay, this got out of hand. I usually screw up whenever I don’t put on my glasses before I hit post. Have a good one!
what’s their approach with brazil, germany, italy, france?
sheesh the diversity
Italy hasn’t qualified for this world cup’s edition
The don’t think the US or the Iranian men have any real chance
I’d love to see Iran knock out the US it could potentially happen I think if both finish their groups in second place.
Crazier things have happened.
I remember years ago at a world cup Iran and USA played each other, and started the match by exchanging flowers and gifts.
There were a lot of sliding tackles iirc.
Iran will win 2 games ,USA 0
I thought Iran had backed out of the World Cup
Why are they coming here? They’re from an enemy nation who considers themselves at war with us.
Who started the war again?
The nation with a three-century history of military action whenever we need a resource or our corporate overlords demand a better profit margin.
Very seriously, I’d rather have them here than you.
neat!
a whole new instance to block.
I don’t know, maybe because they’re athletes and not the cause of the conflict?
What a monumentally stupid fucking comment.
lol i find it hilarious that you get downvoted for pointing out the obvious; why are 2 nations at war are playing football for entertainment in the nation with which you are at war
it’s fucking bizarro
Why a nation which starterd a war should host the world cup? Fuck the US.
I don’t want it here either. Don’t come to Meadowlands Stadium. It would send a clear message if the final game (and any others held there) has zero attendance and zero viewers.
We’re already jammed on weekends. Don’t come to NJ. Don’t attend the games.
I think it’s the phrasing “consider themselves at war” that is causing the down votes.
Until the US Congress declares a war, we’re committed to a limited armed intervention. They’re calling it a war. The Iranian authorities don’t consider it being policed or limitedly intervened. For them, it’s a war.
Yankee logic: thirteen thousand air strikes is not a war because of some legalist mumbo jumbo. How dare they call it a war! If they do, they shouldn’t play sports.
They shouldn’t play sports with in our nation since they’re at war with us. If they were only playing games in Canada or Mexico, that would be a different situation.
Didn’t you just claim that it is not a war? Fucking clown.
Regardless, this isn’t how any of this works. Sports have always been detached from politics. If your country can’t comprehend that, then you’re not fit to host a major sporting event.
To the USA, it is not a war. To Iran, it is a war. We’re not at war with them but they’re at war with us. If Iran was hosting the World Cup, we might send people there even though they’re a rival nation. If they say it’s a war, why should they send their people to us?
And, you’re absolutely right. We shouldn’t have all these people flooding in, slamming our underfunded infrastructure, and causing a situation where ICE is likely to pull some BS.
I agree with you, and you are technically correct which I guess is rubbing people the wrong way.
Well, they can go rub someone else’s rhubarb then.
Tribalistic small-mind detected!
Sports should be above that. We had the Olympics in Nazi Germany.
Why are we banning Russia then? But seriously, are you good with a team representing a country that is commiting a genocide or an offensive illegal war even as they play a game?
