Should teams boycott the World Cup? 17:59 - Jan 16 with 685 views

The wotld cup.is meant to bring fans from across the globe together to celebrate the beautiful game. We can't have fans fearful of if theyre even allowed entry into the States or picked up by ICE based on how they look or their personal opinions on social media etc.
The easiest option would be to take it away from.the US but they have FIFA in their pocket and its probably too late now anyway to change all the locations.
So to make a stand, boycotting is the only option, if 1 or 2 did I'm sure we'd see a domino effect, the world cup without England France,Germany and Spain etc would kill.the tournament and show Trump and co what the world really thinks of them!
Would you back the English or Scottish FA to boycott?

I fear its going to be like the 1936 Olympics all over again!

I know FIFA have no morals and just there for the money but the rest of the world need to make a stand!

I don't expect any teams will, but individuals can, and I will.

I'm sure that World Cup 2026 won't miss me, but it will soon come to realise that it is no longer "the beautiful game" uniting the people's of the world.

It's run by a very corrupt body, sells itself to the most vile regimes and pays its players unfathomable sums of money. There is nothing beautiful or uniting about it.

We can't expect our governments to act ethically or compassionately towards persecuted peoples in the world, so we can't expect them to withdraw their nations' football teams from this vile greedy cesspit pretending to be a celebration of sporting excellence.

I hope there are plenty of others who feel like I do who walk away it all in the hope that football will wake up and realise where it is going before it completely eats itself.

If you make the decision today, Jan 16th 2026, then no.

But...

... Trump is so unpredictable, he might have started WW3 by the end of May.

	Don't believe a word I say. I'm only kidding. Or am I?

Nobody did anything about Qatar, so nobody will do anything about this. Besides, the FIFA Peace Prize recipient is in charge so as a foreigner visiting the US for the tournament you’re not exactly going to be abducted or gunned down in the street now are you?

Not sure why you got downvoted given they’ve massacred thousands of unarmed civilians. Don’t think the US has quite reached that point!

And as others have said England were happy to play in stadiums in which people died building. FIFA don’t care about morals, Russia, Qatar, Saudi, Argentina fascist Junta it’s all money to them!

Because I perceive it as trying to say that Iran is a good reason to boycott and the US is not.

If he had swapped Iran for Israel would you have still downvoted the post?
