    Either will USA for 2 months. I’m just saying I think soccer fans value soccer much more than they value justice.

      But, people have to plan a trip to the US much more than 2 months in advance. If the brownshirts don’t scare them, they still have to consider that they might get refused entry after paying for the flight, ticket car rental (they’ll need one) and hotel.

        My guess is that the Trump administration will loosen a lot of things for the duration of the World Cup. We’ll see though.

      Its not about justice so much as its about how likely they are to get shot in the face, something that I think even soccer fans probably care about.
