Can you believe this - human rights organisations expecting FIFA to stand up to the US government?

Instead Infantino will do his creepiest 'yes master' act with Trump and demonstrate world class ego stroking (which must surely become an Olympic event soon?).

I will actually be angry if Trump doesn't get it, I want the pathetic spectacle of him 'winning' his participation award to be laughed at around the world.

Trump and FIFA - a marriage of egotistical clowns and corruption made in (some warped version of) 'heaven'.

A bit more detail on the way FIFA is cooking up this latest shit show - and what they want in return!

Anyone else think this looks like a world football covering its' eyes in shame and embarrassment?

No, it looks like a half-peeled orange, with some hungry people trying to grab it.

Foreign tourists could ask the US to get stuffed - and spend their money somewhere more welcoming - like Europe!

Europe though? With all those weak leaders and foreign people? He doesn’t half come out with some strange stuff, until of course he has to meet the people he talks about, then everything is great and wonderful again….

Who in their right mind would want to PAY to go to a Fascist state? The Orange Idiot has just gifted a tourism boost to the rest of the World. Even Somalia seems less stressful to me.

I understand your despising Trump but if we never visited countries that do not have what we consider acceptable governments we would lose out on getting to the know the people of so many countries and their cultures - and beyond the immediate political leaderships in situ.
