Dissappointing to who?
All the scalpers who expected to flip pre-sold units on the secondary market
oh no…should we start a crowdfund for them?
At the end of the day the fans supporting their teams get screwed the most.
Let’s sell the house and go watch a few world cup games!
American itself is the reason.
Money talks, bullshit walks.
We’ll see what happens when this starts hitting the bottom line of big businesses.
Good
Well no shit. Who wants to disclose their entire lives to a fascist government, and then be at the absolute mercy of a bunch of homeschooled ICE morons?
If they were homeschooled, they’d probably be better off.
Who wants to disclose their entire lives to a fascist government, and then be at the absolute mercy of a bunch of homeschooled ICE morons?
This is basically the devil’s bargain all those Qatari social media influencers made
homeschooled ICE morons
You wish they had even that level of education…
I don’t want to be here and I live here.
Most americans don’t like this type of football, but the rest of the world does.
Somehow tourists don’t like the prospect of potentially ending up in a concentration camp…
“Oh you liked a posting calling the president fat? Let’s see where we can extradite you.”
Its not going to matter.
Every stadium will be packed come game time.
With whom? Americans are just confused if people actually play football with their feet.
Ahhh yes, American Football, the game where you generally throw the ball.
… that is not even a ball but an ellipsoid.
Eggball.
And paying 5K or whatever for the privilege
It’s $5000,$10000, or $15000, just for a bond if your from a country the racists don’t like.
Ya I just don’t understand the problem!
How is this Possible? They gave him the PEACE PRIZE for GODS Sake!
Even when the world cup was in my country I didn’t go to any matches. Not that I could afford it, but even if I could I still wouldn’t have gone.
This time I won’t even watch it on the TV. That’s how much I dislike that fat cunt paedo and his regime.(I also didn’t watch it when it was in Qatar.)
I haven’t watched international soccer since they awarded Russia and Qatar with the World Cup. Fucking corrupt pieces of shit supporting the worst people.
Fifa is just getting more corrupt too. They are really leaning into it, even after the last president or whatever had to step down because of it.
Really makes me wonder who they’ll find to host the next World Cup.
Afghanistan, perhaps?
Maybe Argentina?
If Milei hasn’t rendered it insolvent in time for the next host picking process, that is.
Watch them do it in Israel
Guess where they’ll build the stadiums… I heard they currently have a huge area of land paved flat
omg. that is so antisemitic! HOW DARE YOU?!
spoiler
/s
Exactly
And they might even have lots of cheap labor from people that are starving
Fuck… can I bet on this on Kalshi or whatever, it’s for sure gonna happen now and I might as well get in early
Italy getting repeatedly eliminated from the world cup is one of the best things that happened to this country in the last years
Better late than never.
I won’t even watch it on the TV. That’s how much I dislike that fat cunt paedo
Not watching soccer on TV isn’t the anti-fascist resistance flex you think it is.
Boycotts matter. Advertisers spend a lot of money on air time and they know when they’re not getting a return on views.
Yes, boycotts matter. Real boycotts, like the Montgomery bus boycott that lasted for months and truly hurt the recipient financially - what MLK called “economic withdrawal”.
Punctual boycotts like buying nothing for one day, or not watching something on TV, are just feel-good stuff that actually achieve nothing at all.
Also, I will point out that it took a lot more than not listening to Hitler’s speeches on the radio to defeat him.
So yeah, do not watch the matches if it makes you feel better. But it won’t change a damn thing.
Well it isn’t the worlds problem. America isn’t doing anything for itself why would we do anything.
Well thank god we have heroes like you to remind us that our minor acts of resistance are completely pointless. God forbid we build up to anything 🙄
Minor acts of resistance aren’t pointless: pointless acts of resistance are pointless.
You sure did pick the perfect username.

You shouldn’t watch anything put on by that org FIFA. Doesn’t really matter how little it does.
What, making yourself an international pariah and also actively being hostile towards anyone who even just looks foreign who’s in your borders is not good for tourism? Who could’ve guessed? I’m sure that spiking oil prices will fix it right
Countries don’t like also being treated as vassal states for rednecks.
Good
Good.
No it isn’t.
There are plenty of people who are going to lose money and/or jobs because of this. Trump and his cronies aren’t going to be hurt.
Don’t celebrate hotel maids and servers getting screwed
The reason hotel maids and bartenders will be hurt is because the CEO’s made leveraged bets and are losing their asses. That’s not the fault of consumers who choose not to spend, that’s the fault of the wealthy.
Or let me put it another way: I don’t owe those workers to make their boss rich so he pisses a little of that wealth onto them. I would much rather provide a social safety net to help them out when their boss loses money being a prick.
I would much rather provide a social safety net
Good news, you’re doing NEITHER.
Well I’m sure as fuck not going to feel morally obligated to provide the wealthy even more profit in either case, so that’s actually moot. But if we’re going to worry about the plight of the common man, let’s go about it the right way.
The delusion that literally every employer is a billionaire is fucking embarrassing.
let’s go about it the right way.
By deluding yourself into thinking a business of any size is the same as mega corporations and doing nothing else. Good work.
Where do you even read the word “billionaire”? What are you talking about?
Let me guess, if someone is held hostage for a ransom, and the ransom isn’t paid, and the hostage is killed, you blame the person that didn’t pay instead of the kidnapper?
Literally the same moral logic.
First, explain to me what part of “Don’t celebrate hotel maids and servers getting screwed” is so offensive to you.
Apparently reading comprehension is also not a strong suit for you.
In other words, you realize I’m right and don’t have the stomach to admit it, so you double down on cheap insults.
Go ahead, explain why celebrating wage earners bad luck is a great thing.

Let them get screwed let your whole country crumble into nothing. You voted for this. And no I didn’t whatever your country did and your letting it all happen.
Well, the guy I responded to didn’t answer so it looks like I was right.
And by your logic, the people who got A-bombed in Hiroshima deserved it because they didn’t rise up against the Emperor.
I’m impressed by your compassion
What a profoundly American way of seeing things.
I hope they all have the day they voted for then.
