    I wonder if any bookies are taking bets that next year's world cup will be won by... Donald J. Trump.

    And like Napoleon's coronation, he'll present the cup to himself, as no one else is worthy of handing it to him.

    Why? It has literally nothing to do with politics. Its a trophy from a sport that he doesn't watch, has never played, and won't support in the future. The MLS is the most "woke" of the major sports leagues in the United States, so it's in theory the antithesis of Trump's agenda. They regularly engage in pride initiatives and imagery, plus encourage globalism at the venues and through broadcasts. Not to mention that this tournament doesn't/didn't really draw the full effort from clubs. Teams regularly didn't play their regular season starting XI and players didn't display max effort either. Most of them just finished a 32+ week season and played around 40 matches. There's already labor disputes about the density and duration of the football schedule in Europe and the injuries associated with playing as much as they do. At best, I would guess that players put about 70% of their max effort into these matches considering the issue of heat too.

    When you're famous they let you do it. You can steal trophies and medals! Mario steals gold coins, I rest my case.

    He also stole a shitload of art from the ambassador's office in France in his first term. You'll also recall that he wants (dunno if he got) the Declaration of Independence moved into the office as well.

    I cant think of anything more fitting than a FIFA gold trophy for trump. FIFA is the gold standard for massive corruption.

    Maybe the IOC should send a gold medal too.

    I have been having genuine fantasies about a massive bomb going off right there and then on live television every time I hear that fucking cockroach squeal.

    It's become like, I can't help it. I see it, hear it, smell the flesh and gunpowder, like KABLAAAAAAM.

    It's what keeps me alive- hope. Pure, sheer hope.
