FIFA made the mistake of giving Trump the fake Peace Prize and tens of thousands of soccer fans are cancelling tickets to watch the games in USA. FIFA is nervous and holding emergency meetings now.
Fans are afraid of getting arrested by ICE goons while in the USA, which is not far fetch, especially if you are a foreigner moving around sightseeing while not watching the games. There is a genuine fear if one were to think of it. Now, why would one want to run the risk being arrested and detained for weeks. Those 'stupidity without cure' may venture to go to the USA to watch the games, while the smart ones will just watch the matches on TV.
Trump may then threaten to ban televising the matches live. That is also not a feasible solution for FIFA, with television stations not having to pay an arm and a leg to FIFA for showing the matches live.
I think it is time to forget about the World Cup and Olympics, which are so politically entwined and corrupted. Sports was supposed to be free of political influence, but that has obviously been made into a clown show with the award of the fake Peace Prize to Trump.
China has already hinted it is not going to bid for another Olympic Games, a colossal waste of money, while the Olympic Committee has been trying to entice China to change its mind.
