    From context, I’m guessing America lost?

    Who’d we lose to? Please let it be a Latin American or African country.

        I kinda wonder what threats he used to get FIFA to do so, having ICE arrest Belgium?

        Or is this a thing any host country can do? Could Germany have had Zidine Zidane released in 2006?

          FIFA is the same organization that invented a bullshit “peace prize” to give Trump. Apparently FIFA is the sort of organization that doesn’t need threats to french Trump’s asshole. They’ll do that for free.

            What’s more likely:

            1. Trump is some uniquely likeable guy and FIFA just couldn’t help themselves show how grateful they are for Trump existing.

            2. FIFA observed Trump is a child who could throw a tantrum at any moment and do serious damage to the organization if not constantly flattered.
