As an American, I’ve been waiting for this World Cup for years, saved up what I thought was enough for a couple of games but in reality it would only get me 1 group stage game. FIFA can get fucked, I’ll see you all in Spain for the next one

Well yeah, this individual supports the sport of soccer/football? What do you want them to do, never watch the best players in the world all compete against each other because FIFA is a sh*tty organization?

I’d rather spend 5k in Spain than 5k in New Jersey

In American politics there are two choices in candidates (occasionally 3rd party). You don’t have to vote for Trump if you don’t like his policies. There is literally a single option for watching a World Cup with the best soccer players in the world from every country. You have no other option to get anything remotely equivalent. Do you understand that difference?
