Since the draw, his regime has kidnapped the Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro; expanded the blockade of Cuba in an attempt to strangle the Cuban Revolution; threatened to invade and annex Greenland; allowed ICE thugs to run raids across the nation, resulting in the murders of Renée Nicole Good and Alex Pretti; and, of course, most recently started a bloody bombing against Iran, unleashing conflict across the Middle East.

Various other controversial issues have also been raised surrounding the event, besides the political machinations of the Trump regime.

Fan groups have complained about price gouging, with the cost of group game tickets more than doubling, while the cheapest tickets to the final are estimated to be as high as £3,119, compared to £450 in the previous tournament in Qatar.

Meanwhile, the cost of a return train from Manhattan to MetLife Stadium has risen from £9.50 to £111 during the tournament, and tickets to games in Boston have risen from £15 to £60.

Then there are the environmental and health concerns. With the tournament taking place across Canada, the US, and Mexico, teams face an average travel distance of 5,146 miles, with many host cities predicted to experience extreme heat during the games.

It can hardly be considered ‘green’ or ‘environmentally-focused’ to have players, staff, and fans travel these distances in a short period. Players will hardly be at peak performance after such strenuous logistical demands.

Not to mention the displaced, trafficked.
