A German soccer federation executive committee member says it’s time to consider a World Cup boycott because of the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump.
Yeah, because FIFA is such a beacon of shining light. We like soccer, fuck the ORG and all it stands for. Trump has nothing to do with soccer, or FIFA. I certainly would not travel to the country for it though. You know ICE will be parked outside checking everyone. No thanks.
The cheapest tickets for the opening match has gone from 55USD to 560USD.
So on top of the threat of ICE, and before them CBP at the airport, where you can be required to unlock your phone for inspection, you also get to pay like 2 days wages, to sit furthest from the field with a light pole in the way. GTFO, but there’s enough suckers to make it work.
In a blatant money grab FIFA has even expanded the cup to 48 teams.

Also, have you seen the ticket prices? Cat 4 tickets, the cheapest tickets, are generally 10x the 2022 prices https://www.sportingnews.com/us/soccer/news/world-cup-2026-tickets-cheapest-expensive/d3fd676c4f35b53961e35c38
