OK. First, FIFA booking out a heap of hotel rooms then dropping them when they realised they won’t be able to scalp them is shitty behaviour, but probably not out of the norm. Raising prices to astronomical heights is also shitty behaviour, but it’s the capitalist nation of the world so what do you expect?

The elephant in the room that got glossed over with one sentence in the article is: nobody in their right mind wants to visit the USA. The place is a fucking disaster and the chances of a foreigner getting shot, locked up or deported for pretty much no reason is so high you’ve got to be a total fuckwit to want to go there. If I was given a free ticket to the US with spending money included, I’d still be asking for a refund.

I still hope the Canada and Mexico games are completely sold out though. Watching the juxtaposition of empty “free world” stadia vs full “shit hole country” stadia is going to be glorious.

If memory serves that was a German Tattoo artist. The Australian was deported for being pro-Palestinian.

No no, it’s talk-tough Wednesday, which then leads to TACO Tuesday.

Riiiiiigghht. Are you going to break that news to the people of Tennessee, Florida, Texas, Missouri and North Carolina?

A country where voting districts, governers and court positions are all politically motivated, you do not have a democracy.

Good. Fuck off Trump.

I trust it would be pretty hard to secure funding for what would ultimately be a $1.5b loss, since barely anyone would use the stupid hotel.

Bet it can still set itself on fire though.

Looser regulations.

But loser regulations on quite a lot of things too.

Carry on.

I would surprised and dismayed if Italy accepted such an offer. They didn’t make qualification, just like a lot of other countries, so they should not even consider such an offer. If the host country finds itself unable to fulfil their hosting duties then they should hang their heads in shame and never be selected to host again.

It would be pretty shit of FIFA not to simply put all of Iran’s games in Mexico or Canada. Why should a qualified team miss out just because one of the host countries is run by a bunch of useless cunts?

“Their goal is to be able to track submarines so that in wartime, they’re better placed to be able to attack and sink [them].”

Joke’s on them, we don’t have any viable submarines. And they’ll be waiting a LONG time for our Yankee stupid-boats to arrive, if they ever do.

So the data centre can go ahead but the fluff on top can’t? Doesn’t sound like too much of a win, but we’ll see.

Holy shit!

The… What? What video did the Pedosident post?

I was unaware that most of the world is Spanish. The more you know…

Apr 8: TACO!

(I hope)

Yep. We need to kill them, otherwise they might die!

I’m not convinced help would have been forthcoming had it been required, so ummm, ok I guess. Whatever.

And may every day trade be another wonderful secret.

Can’t wait for my War Crimesmas present next year!

“Guys! GUYS! You really depend on the oil that flows through the Strait so come and help me open it!”

“But your actions closed it in the first place.”

“OMG I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU WON’T HELP! :`(”

Fuck me, this is what international politics and diplomacy have become.

And when he gets there, he should fuck off again.
