    The US Men can win a World Cup fairly, so they’ll just kneecap the other teams with immigration shit instead.

            I could, but when it’s my fault I’ll take the heat.

            Writing and prose are invaluable tools of interlocutory efforts. I exemplify an extensive history of accusations of bot-generated conversation in online games, established far earlier than the modern wave of Clankers in our midst.

            If I fail an edit, it’s my fault. Autocorrect’s execution during the word smithing process or not. My name is on the top, so I stand by the quality of the words as published.

            Okay, this got out of hand. I usually screw up whenever I don’t put on my glasses before I hit post. Have a good one!

          Until the US Congress declares a war, we’re committed to a limited armed intervention. They’re calling it a war. The Iranian authorities don’t consider it being policed or limitedly intervened. For them, it’s a war.

            I agree with you, and you are technically correct which I guess is rubbing people the wrong way.

            Yankee logic: thirteen thousand air strikes is not a war because of some legalist mumbo jumbo. How dare they call it a war! If they do, they shouldn’t play sports.

              They shouldn’t play sports with in our nation since they’re at war with us. If they were only playing games in Canada or Mexico, that would be a different situation.

                Didn’t you just claim that it is not a war? Fucking clown.

                Regardless, this isn’t how any of this works. Sports have always been detached from politics. If your country can’t comprehend that, then you’re not fit to host a major sporting event.

                  To the USA, it is not a war. To Iran, it is a war. We’re not at war with them but they’re at war with us. If Iran was hosting the World Cup, we might send people there even though they’re a rival nation. If they say it’s a war, why should they send their people to us?

                  And, you’re absolutely right. We shouldn’t have all these people flooding in, slamming our underfunded infrastructure, and causing a situation where ICE is likely to pull some BS.

          I don’t want it here either. Don’t come to Meadowlands Stadium. It would send a clear message if the final game (and any others held there) has zero attendance and zero viewers.

          We’re already jammed on weekends. Don’t come to NJ. Don’t attend the games.

        The nation with a three-century history of military action whenever we need a resource or our corporate overlords demand a better profit margin.

      I don’t know, maybe because they’re athletes and not the cause of the conflict?

      What a monumentally stupid fucking comment.

        Why are we banning Russia then? But seriously, are you good with a team representing a country that is commiting a genocide or an offensive illegal war even as they play a game?

    I’d love to see Iran knock out the US it could potentially happen I think if both finish their groups in second place.

    Crazier things have happened.

    As a life-long soccer fan, I’ve dreamed of the world cup coming to the US. But now, between the shame of being an American, the danger this country poses to visitors and FIFA’s corruption and shameless money grabs I want nothing to do with it and hope it gets boycotted.
