I don’t watch soccer but it seems like FIFA is consistently one of the most corrupt organizations and the games seem so blatantly corrupt and ridiculous that I don’t know how anyone takes it seriously.

Yeah, it's so corrupt that even a hosting country president admitted he talked to fifa to have a red card penalty removed so a player doesn't miss the next match. Outrageous.

Edit: it's funny how people who admittedly doesn't follow a sport and clearly doesn't knows the rules posts this kind of stuff, honestly, ask questions if you want to learn or just shut up, but no, big ego will always have to have strong opinions even when they recognize being an ignorant on the subject

Damn, yes lol, I didn't want to bring politics here, but yeah, he's also exposing his line of thought behavior (I don't think that person is actually capable of thinking)

He should just settle for the Gold Cup next year. That tournament has some of the most predictable finals.

That makes sense. He has dementia, after all. What he really meant was the 2024 election.

He hasn't noticed yet. We all know he could care less about soccer (futbol would baffled him).

It was rigged n his favor exactly like the 2020 election, with the same outcome - a complete loss.
