Trump threating to pull world cup soccer matches from Boston

fortunately, that orange spray painted, canary-haired, baboon doesn't have any authority over FIFA

1. The head of FIFA may be as corrupt as they come and appeasing Trump, but if he went along with moving...

--the backlash would be so immense that no US city would even consider holding the games again in the foreseeable future. He knows that and will placate Trump with flattery only IMO.

2. All Seven matches are sold out

It would be a financial and a logistical nightmare of epic proportions

4. The matches

are not even in Boston. But at Gillette stadium in Foxborough, about 22 miles from Boston.

8. Although the matches are in Foxborough Massachusetts

for the soccer matches, Gillette stadium will be temporarily called Boston stadium.

3. What did Boston do?

Or is it just their turn

7. Nothing

Trump doesn't like the mayor

5. FIFA won't do shit. The organization had no problem with 6500 foreign workers dying to build stadiums for the last Cup.

There were thousands more workers injured and many went without pay for months. Maybe they didn't even get paid. They certainly didn't if they died on the job.

If anything, FIFA, like the Olympics, has a grand tradition of accommodating dictators. And the players won't dare boycott the World Cup because their respective national federations would make sure they'd never play for the national team ever again, whether it's in the World Cup or in continental tournaments like the Euro.

6. An empty threat by Dotard.

9. Before you begin a journey of revenge....

First dig two graves”.

Sage advice.

10. Of course he doesn't call her Low IQ....

unlike “others” she is at least Asian.

LONDON (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump was reminded Wednesday that FIFA, not any government, ultimately decides which cities will host 2026 World Cup games.

Trump suggested last week he could declare cities “not safe” for the 104-game soccer tournament next summer and alter a detailed hosting plan that FIFA confirmed in 2022. It includes NFL stadiums near New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

The 11 U.S. host cities, plus three in Mexico and two in Canada, are contracted with FIFA which would face significant logistical and legal issues to make changes in the eight months before the June 11 kickoff.

“It’s FIFA’s tournament, FIFA’s jurisdiction, FIFA makes those decisions,” the soccer body’s vice president Victor Montagliani said Wednesday at a sports business conference in London.

The Canadian president of North American regional soccer body CONCACAF said the sport is “bigger” than any current political debate.
