Who obviously have no plans to play in America anytime soon...

Best chance the USA have of winning the World Cup would be to deny entry to enough foreign players. Trump will then boast that under Biden, the football team never had a chance, etc, etc and then he came along and shook it all up - now they are bigly winners.

I'm half expecting the World Cup to not go ahead.
If this current power/money/resource hungry US administration succeeds in implementing their present invasion plans surely there will be multiple withdrawals from the competition.
Who knows what other nonsense they've already planned in the meanwhile.

With their US first policy, wouldn’t be surprised if they uninvited all other nations and rebranded it as the Tesler World Series of Soccer.

Spose one slight issue is their team could have a few too many right wingers in it.

Truth is we have a lot of both right wingers & left wingers who aren't playing well as a team atm.

It's going to be a big, beautiful world cup. The American world cup. Its going to the best ever and who's paying for the American world cup? Mexico is.

"The Scottish fans, they're pouring into our country from insane asylums and mental institutions. They have languages that nobody in this country has ever heard of. We don’t have one instructor in our entire nation that can speak that language. It’s the craziest thing — It’s a very horrible thing. I lifted a kilt once. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything. I grab 'em by the pussy, only this one didn't have a pussy..."

If if invades Greenland then there won't be a world cup.

I see he has pretty much made himself head of the Smithsonian museum in an attempt to control culture.

I think we must all accept that with an annexation policy and with control of the cultural institutions and media via Fox and social media he is, or has, gone full Nazi.

“Unfortunately, Danish leaders have spent decades mistreating the Greenlandic people, treating them like second-class citizens and allowing infrastructure on the island to fall into disrepair,” a senior White House official told Fox News.

White House accuses Denmark of neglecting Greenland as JD Vance makes unsolicited visit

In show of national unity and rebuke to Trump administration, the agreement reads: ‘Greenland belongs to us’

www.theguardian.com

The US’s plans to take control of Greenland“may surprise someone only at first glance, and it is a deep mistake to believe that this is some kind of extravagant talk by the new American administration,” Putin began. “Nothing of the sort.”

Putin’s endorsement of Trump’s Greenland takeover reflects their vision of a new world order

As the US pivots toward territorial ambitions in the western hemisphere, the Kremlin’s support signals a deeper alignment in their challenge to global norms

www.theguardian.com

I’m a fairly positive chap and I’ve managed to write off Trump’s designs on Greenland as bluster up until now.
This sort of rhetoric and this coalition frightens the heck out of me.

Interesting chat on the Guardian Football Weekly yesterday (which btw included an utterly ill informed and one sided view of our cup tie) about how Trump and his lunatics are going to cope with Iran and others on their red list qualifying for the WC - will staff and even players be denied entry? Wouldn't put anything past them.

The more interesting question for me would be “If the US did that, what would FIFA do?”

Would they (a) take a stand, work with Canada and Mexico plus another third country (England? Brazil?) to make a tournament work without the USA or (b) shut up about it and find a way of rigging it so Iran et al play their games in Canada and hope they go out early enough that it doesn’t matter.

I think, deep down, we all suspect which of those will be the case.

FIFA are as bad as the trump administration. They simply don't care as long as the £££ keep rolling in.

I think we’ve chatted about them before on here!

I’ve seen them at the Komedia over the years too. As you say, a brilliant live act. Very entertaining!

JD Vance being a boorish prick again during his visit to Greenland.

Denmark hasn’t done a good job of keeping Greenland safe.

Attacks on Greenland this century: zero
Last country to invade it: United States

This is quite amusing
