Gonna be a shitshow when US matches don’t sell out.

    Apparently the US only wants rich tourists. Wonder if the 5M Trump Gold card gets that fee waved. Somehow I doubt it.

    Please take care of yourself and don’t come here. Spending your money anywhere else and leaving an empty seat at the WC is the best thing for all parties.

      The Gold Card is a residency permit, so unless rules change again Gold Card holders wouldn’t need visas so wouldn’t have to pay the new fee.

      And I don’t think it’s that we want only rich tourists. It’s that we are treating all foreigners as criminals. If you think of it more like “every foreigner belongs in jail, but you can pay bail to get out” it makes more sense. You only get your “bail” refunded if you “behave”…

          Of course not. You only get the refund if you “behave”, and we’ve already established that this Administration thinks any foreigner who can’t afford 5 million dollars is a criminal…

            Even then, if you can “only” afford $5m, you’re a criminal when you can’t pay the next round of dues.
