    An opportunity to take down both Trump and FIFA. Hell yes. FIFA are corrupt beyond belief anyway so who cares, them giving Trump that golden statue was probably the least objectionable thing they’ve done recently.

    Also I really really really want to see them trying big up a match between Haiti and the Maldives because all they have left is the little teams that no one cares about.

    Germany has a moral duty to speak up much louder against the crimes against humanity that ICE is committing.

      Germany’s not even willing to officially say that perhaps Israel should handle things differently in Gaza.
