[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will Greenland be the impetus for European countries to boycott the games entirely?  A World Cup with Germany,, England, France, Spain, etc?  that would be a total PR disaster for Don the Con.[/quote]

Football fans in those countries care more about the beautiful game than Greenland.[/quote]

Europe should boycott and host an off cycle euros, and invite the big central and South American teams[/quote]

You are living in fantasy land. This is an actual world championship, not an American version of a world championship between only American teams. Nothing is going to change the World Cup. No venues will change. The stadiums will be full of corporate types and rabid fans. People will come from all over the world. No one cares about the politics enough to miss the biggest athletic contest on the planet.[/quote]

That was the case in 1980 too.  But look what happened then.  There is no reason to believe European countries will not view this as a viable option.  It is far less disruptive than a trade war, doesn't seek to dissolve NATO, and is a humiliating defeat for Trump.[/quote]

The Olympics are cute. This is the World Cup. Only an American would convince themselves this could happen.[/quote]

As much as I cringe that the US hosts and wish we could move it so it doesn't become a shitshow, I don't think Americans recognize how big a sport soccer is to anyone not an American.  Soccer encompasses the world. [/quote]

You guys might want to check the European papers.  This has already been proposed as a last resort by some.[/quote]

FIFA is in charge, not Europe. [/quote]

lol. FIFA can’t force people to travel to the USA. [/quote]

They don’t need to. Those people actually pay FIFA to show up and watch a match. Just wait. Bars will be packed. Stadiums will be full. Matches will be must watch events. This boycott topic is the silliest tantrum on DCUM to date. Normal people will have a great time while disregarding politics.[/quote]

Innocent people are being murdered in cold blood on the street. And protesting this would be a “tantrum”?

You’re fked in the head.
