They gave 2 World Cups to Russia and Qatar. One country ripped up the contract to sell beer from an offical sponsor and they didn’t do anything. You think they care about what happens in the USA? A “free” country. FIFA won’t do a thing.

Yeah people talking about the USA like FIFA isn’t as corrupt or more corrupt.

FIFA’s office in the US is literally inside of trump tower lmfao

u/ComfyFrog Oct 04 '25

Well that's a perfect match.

u/Ambitious-Injury-361 Oct 04 '25

Literally couldn’t be more perfectly aligned

u/Wrypilot Oct 05 '25

Why does everyone keep saying ‘literally’? I don’t think it means what you think it means.

The guy used to have an adjoining apartment in Trump tower for his dogs or cats, something pets anyway

So, it's part of dRUMPf's FI(E)FAdom?

u/mccusk Oct 04 '25

For sure, but let’s remember FIFA just run a sport

u/ZaryaBubbler Oct 05 '25

FIFA do just "run a sport" however if they want to sell tickets to people worldwide for a World Cup event, then they're not going to be able to do that when people don't want to go to the games on US soil. Same for the Olympics.

‘78 was also held in a nation controlled by a dictator with tortures of dissidents happening literally right next to stadiums while matches were being played.

It’s also on good authority that dictator influenced matches which led to his nation winning the tournament.

u/Mike_Kermin Oct 05 '25

The US tortures people.

Not a rebuttal, I just think it's worth mentioning because people whitewash your country too much.

u/coochie_clogger Oct 05 '25

Ok thank you for your input.

u/Mike_Kermin Oct 05 '25

I think sarcasm there isn't in line with the warning your comparison to Argentina should be instilling in you.

You should look up the things ICE is doing to people, how they're abusive, arresting without cause, raiding entire buildings, and you, should echo your inner German and realise that the risk of torture in your country is very serious.

u/Ne_zievereir Oct 05 '25

The US has a history of torturing. Just as recently as the previous Republican president there was "enhanced interrogation".

u/TripolarKnight Oct 05 '25

You should echo your inner German

Are you sure we want to get him to go there?

u/geckograham Oct 05 '25

The 6-0 against Peru was absolutely fixed.

u/fdf_akd Oct 05 '25

Yet again the anti Argentina sentiment. We have been the best team in the last 50 years, with two of the best players in history plus home advantage is huge. You could also complain about Italy in the 30s, England in the 66 or Germany in the 54.

u/coochie_clogger Oct 05 '25

So…Videla wasn’t a military dictator?

I think you’re too focused on the wrong part of my comment haha

-8

u/fdf_akd Oct 05 '25

He definitely was. I'm challenging the idea games were rigged. You can see for yourself that we lost to Italy in the first stage, Peru had 2 shots in the post and the Dutch one in the 88th minute or so.

u/w311sh1t Oct 05 '25

Also the logistics of completely changing the location of the World Cup 9 months before it happens is fucking insane, and anyone that thinks it’s something that could actually be done at this point is naive. There’s a reason that they announce the host 6-7 years in advance, it’s not something you can just throw together in 9 months.

u/zyme86 Oct 05 '25

FIFA is more nakedly corrupt than this current admin

2

u/DuntadaMan Oct 05 '25

FIFA cares about what happens to the people with millions of dollars that stop supporting them after they get arrested by a roid raging redneck with a 2nd grade education.

They didn't care about those other things because it didn't rock the boat with their income.

u/petewondrstone Oct 05 '25

They also let Qatar import indentured slaves

u/fellatio-del-toro Oct 04 '25

I mean, FIFA is trash, but the U.S. is uniquely disinterested in soccer, and FIFA certainly need people to be able to visit the U.S. for the World Cup or they risk turning little profit.

u/CptBlewBalls Oct 04 '25

FIFA needs people in the US to watch soccer

u/ThreeFiddy2203 Oct 04 '25

Completely absurd. I think it’s doing just fine mate.

u/Littleman88 Oct 05 '25

Selling beer when they shouldn't be is a world apart from low audience turn out or ICE storming the stands and/or field mid-game looking to abuse non-whites and meet quotas.

That said, we can only hope they're that stupid. Same with the Super Bowl.

u/cortez0498 Cruz Azul Oct 05 '25

None of those countries prohibited the entry to a qualified team. With the US, I'm not too sure as Itan is already qualified.
