Foreigners are there to remind us we are not all about Donald Trump. Americans aren't all awful. We have terrible politics, but everyone appreciates a really nice gas station and bbq and very forward people.

The World Cup is going very well. And the US, Canada, and Mexico are all winning. Positive vibes everywhere.

Breaching the agreement we signed to host the World Cup is not giving positive vibes everywhere. Visas were not issued to most of the southern hemisphere. It’s nice all the white folks are having fun (and it’s not their fault they were allowed in) but our soft power is taking a beating globally.

You are just really wrong. After such depressing news every day all day since Trump has been re-elected, most people have been feeling really in the depths of despair in the US. Finally there is a bit of good news.

Spain (population 50 million and won the World Cup in 2010) vs. Cabo Verde, a small nation of islands off the coast of Central Western Africa, (population under 500,000) game was amazing for Cabo Verde. They tied Spain in no small part due to their goalie who made 7 amazing saves. The US just waived the visa application and fees for the goalie's mother so she could watch her son play in person in his next match. She is now in Miami.

In Lawrence, Kansas the city has adopted the Algerian team and been really supportive while they train there. The University of Kansas marching band spent weeks learning the Algerian national anthem, performing it live to surprise the team during an open practice session.

There are plenty of stories like this. Just because we have an orange ogre as President doesn't mean Americans are all evil.

She should have been there in the first place. Because we impose a prohibitive bond of $15,000 on the citizens of Cabo Verde, Vozinha's mom missed her son's Man of the Match performance, the best of his lifetime. We should have waived visa bonds for close family of the players before all this transpired. As it is, Hakeem Jeffries had to appeal to Rubio to get the waiver.

The goal keeper plays for a second division team in Portugal and makes around $50k a year. His mom works as a housekeeper making at most $500 a month. She didn't have a passport and there is no way could have afforded plane fare and hotel. And the immediate family members of players have been exempted from the $15,000 fee from the beginning. Following early pressure from FIFA to protect key participants, the U.S. administration explicitly exempted official players, coaches, support staff, and immediate relatives from having to pay this $15,000 bond from the very beginning of the World Cup planning phase. But they still had to have a valid passport, apply for visas and pay for flights and hotels.

The Capo Verde National Football Association paid for her flight, the State Department waived all visa paperwork fees and paperwork, and FIFA provided the mom with tickets.

So it really is an uplifting story.

What are you watching? They aren't making fun of the US, they are having a fantastic time. It is so enjoyable to watch the videos made by foreigners about how much they love being in the US while attending the World Cup. It isn't about divisive politics and negative energy. It is about the positives of America, and there are so many. We do tend to be really welcoming, we have amazing National Parks and cities. There is an optimism that you can break the mold in the US. Europeans are really having a fantastic time.

The Scottish in Boston videos are the best. Boston and Glasgow have just agreed to be sister cities. Boston Red Sox held Scotland Day at Fenway Park and 6,000 Scottish fans showed up and sang so many festive songs. The team played the Scottish National Anthem after the US National Anthem, they had a give away of Red Sox Scottish soccer jersey style shirts. The atmosphere was electric. The governor of Mass. temporarily changed laws so bars could be open later and special drinking zones set up. Boston bars said they have sold 3 times the amount of beers than any Saint Patrick Day celebration.

It is the opposite of a boycott.

You’re so desperate that it’s almost endearing. The foreign fans brought the fun back to the areas around the matches, and it seems like the Democrat fun police are upset. HAHAHA

The fun police aren't "Democrats". They are idiots.
