Do we need to move the world cup?

[Jacko93]

I genuinely believe true fans are waiting for the arse to fall out this cash cow circus

It may well do, for true fans, but its not true fans that the people running the game are interested in. The very moment you stop piling cash in their pockets they stop caring of your existence.

People went to Russia and Qatar in droves, stop acting like this is a bridge too far.

I do agree many Americans will be reluctant at best to root for the national team. MAGAs still think footy is some socialist conspiracy and just ignore the whole thing. The USMNT fanbase is pretty much the opposite of the lads on tour patio fighting gammon England fans. This issue didn’t come up in 2018 as fortunately we failed to qualify.

I think the concerns are that there's widespread riots across the country. There's masked men rounding up people and detaining them. Holiday makers have been caught up in this and wrongly detained. Add on to that, it's a World Cup and you're banning fans of teams competing, it's not really the ideal place to host it.

To not allow certain fans to travel and the potential for issues with players from those countries and unrest, I wouldn't say it's ideal.
