What's the chance he says yes and then just fucking puts all of the foreign athletes in concentration camps anyway? 🤔
Not just the athletes, thousands will be travelling to America to watch the soccer games. I've helped a couple people navigate applying for a tourist visa, its kinda insane how expensive and needlessly time-consuming it is. You have to go to the US embassy for an in-person interview.
A lot of visas require in-person interviews, and not just American ones.
For tourist visas? Which countries? I've never had to do one, and people I talk to only had to do similar things for Japan. Though admittedly I've only had to actually fill out a handful of visa applications because US passport is absurdly strong.
Maybe for US citizens because of the threat level they pose on the general intelligence of the nation they want to visit. Even China is visa free for 50 countries now including all of Europe and Canada.
I don't remember doing an interview for my L visa. Just brought in the passport, had biometrics taken, and came back a few days later to pick it up.
Getting to that stage was annoying, I had to resubmit the application online like 6 times before they ran out of nitpicks to complain about.
It's all just a reality show to him, so that would just be another episode...
I was just gonna say this lol. He'll agree and probably get some payoff money but then go ahead and arrest athletes. Shit maybe they'll have a polymarket bet on the winner and just detain the opposing teams.
Just stay far far away from the World Cup this year. It's simply not worth it.
We need to broadcast to the world that visiting the USA for the game is unsafe. Make it EXTREMELY clear that people should not come here. Show videos and pictures of ICE agents detaining people. Broadcast stories of legal immigrants being detained. I don't have the heart to source the videos and articles now, but I think this is a spot where FIFA and MAGA could both be burned.
Major events like the World Cup are desired specifically as a source of international tourism; and without those tourists, they're just a major financial hit.
FIFA doing the wrost thing they can do! Praise the idiot instead of giving the matches to Canada or Mexico.
FIFA just getting what they deserve.
This feels Ike a the onion title lol
"39-day duration" : you better take your flight back right after the finale! Stay another day and boom! you're deported or in jail for 2 months
/c/nottheonion material.
This story turning into a "Leopards at my face" in 3....2....1...
For FIFA, that's basically the Socialist Revolution.
And no, I still hate FIFA.
Peace Prize winner’s response: “lol, no”
Peace prize winner shall terrorize the world cup to protect the world cup, just like he's blocking the strait of hormuz to unblock the strait of hormuz
Knowing that the best place to scratch Trump is always his ego
That doesn't work a second time. Now he'll have to give Trump a cut of the profits and haggle over the percentage.
This story is wonderfully written.
The credibility is long lost for both award producer and award consumer. Even if the Orange somehow agrees, it won't change anything as everybody knows he's a demented liar.
i suggest forming blockades where the fifa tournaments are behing held to get the point across.
Infantino to find out that als his brown nosing will have little effect on the orange baby.
Ah ha, real life is such a farce

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
