    This is the country that wants to have the soccer world cup. Who in their right mind would go watch that? Watch soccer, get arrested and sent to a concentration camp.

    Or what about the players?

    I actually seriously expect trump to just order the arrest all competing teams for immigration reasons, and then just declare the US winner because there is nobody left to compete.
