FIFA is a wholly corrupt organisation and the USA in particular have fucked it completely with their obscene price gouging. And that's not even mentioning the fact that no-one wants to set foot there due to Trumps restrictions and the threat of being detained in some immigration camp. And let's get real, Mexico has its own problems with all the cartel violence. Canada is the only real safe country hosting this tournament.

It doesn’t help that most of the games won't be on until after midnight here. But it's Scotland's first WC in 30 years so I will have to make every effort to see it regardless.

It should have been taken off the US when ICE started all that carry on, there's probably going to be issues on every entry point to the US but I for one wouldn't fancy having to cross the border from Mexico to the US. It's not even a case of them sending you home, you could be stuck in a prison for months because some little hitler takes a dislike to you. You can't have a tournament that requires fans to regularly cross international borders in these situations.

Ironically, all the african and asian countries that prop up Infantino are the ones who's fans are more likely to face any trouble from ICE.
 
22 years since last time, Arsenal are Premier League champions again. Hats off to them - it was really now or never for them this season

Yah, would have been waaaay funnier if it was Spurs who went down. Bowen seems committed to stay based on his post match interview so that's commendable, Percy, Dani and Danny will be pleased.
 
The first two European trophies of the season have been won by English teams, i wonder if Arsenal can make it all three at the weekend, won`t be easy against PSG.
 
What do Arsenal fans do after they have won the Champions League?
there's supposed to be a spoiler tag below that for some reason isn't visible to me
 
Oh my God, they killed Kenny - sorry, stole England's balls!

How are they supposed to play now, completely ball-less? Where will they find the motivation, the attitude, the fighting spirit, when the very source of their mojo has been stolen?

No more balls. Just the wall.
Horrifying.

The Good: Mexico has been a non-stop party since the games began.
The bad: The English team was melting in the Florida heat, then they make it to Kansas City only for their to be reports of a shooting near their camp and then their equipment was stolen.... good to know MEXICO is a security risk lol.
The ugly: a video came up in my youtube recommendations about how this is the most corrupt WC yet. I didn't watch it, but I can see why they would say that. Astronomical ticket prices, I live in one of the host nations and I can't watch 99% of the games unless I buy a subscription package to a streaming service. Telemundo made news for something that shouldn't be news. They refuse to show ads during the hydration breaks. Bars are getting cease and desist orders from FIFA for showing games, you know, what bars usually do to draw crowds and make money. Fucking ridiculous.
