[quote=Anonymous][quote] Calls grow to drop US as 2026 World Cup co-host amid domestic unrest, foreign interference
A senior German football official has urged European nations to “seriously consider” boycotting the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup, scheduled to be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico next summer.

Oke Gottlich, who serves as the president of Bundesliga club St. Pauli and is also a vice-president of the German Football Association (DFB), made the remarks during an interview with the German newspaper Hamburger Morgenpost on Sunday, stressing that the current geopolitical climate — particularly US President Donald Trump’s controversial foreign policy — has made the issue urgent.

“The time has come to seriously consider and discuss this,” Gottlich told the German newspaper, invoking comparisons to the Olympic boycotts of the 1980s.

“What were the justifications for the boycotts of the Olympic Games in the 1980s? By my reckoning, the potential threat is greater now than it was then. We need to have this discussion,” he said.[/quote]

This makes sense. I really can not see the World Cup being played in the US. Just too dangerous with republicans in control.[/quote]
