Doubtful. Embarassment requires feeling shame, and neither the givers nor the recipient of the FIFA "Peace Prize" are capable of that.

European teams should boycott the farce USA Soccer World Cup.
Growing?
I'd say that was 100% embarrassing right from the moment they did it. Never have I seen such blatant corruption on display and all those involved at Fifa should be jailed
Meh, the entire Fifa top should be jailed anyway because Fifa is corruption come to life, but here we are
If this meaningless prize broke the camel's back ...
Just wait til these managers hear what FIFA actually did and responsible for.
Did FIFA sneak up on its (corporate decision making) self, have meetings, agree and implement a cunning plan, with structured publicity, and not tell itself until now?
Growing? Haha, it was already the Mount Everest of embarrassment to start with, how could it grow. Corrupt boot licking fools.
Professional sports is a racket anyway though right? Billionaire owners and their playboys? No thanks, not interested in their idea of sport, entertainment, and even more so, their leadership.
FIFA execs can feel embarassment? I don't buy it
How are they just now getting embarrassed?
They presented a fucking 'peace' prize to a fascistic dictator and convicted rapist. They're a fucking laughing stock right alongside the orange degenerate.
These and the Olympics are going to be like the 1936 Olympics, but like a farcical tragicomedy.
Boycott.
And that's coming from an Australian.
I'm too poor to afford a ticket. But I can always not even watch the games :D
Yes that's part of a boycott. Their ratings are absolutely important to them.
Even better, watch the games and compile a list of all the sponsors buying a commercial during the games. Then publish and boycott.
That's what we did with Berlusconi's TV channels.
Good stuff, use ad exposure against them, haha.

Where was the "embarrassment" when they had the world cup in Russia in 2018 and when they had it in Qatar? Ultimately embarrassment ought to result in action but I'm not sure it will here.
Just like when it was the Qatar World Cup, I refuse to watch it or talk about it.
No way, Gowron has more honor in his pinky toe than that man has in his entire body.
Is this real?
FIFA are giving peace prizes? Why? Their sense of importance is astounding. They need to get back to grassroots.
It's just bribery. Give Trump something shiny and expensive with "Trump is great" written on it and he'll treat you favorably.
Fifa want trump to change "soccer" to "football" and trump wanted a peace prize.
So FIFA made up a peace prize and gave it to trump.
And for like an afternoon trump rambled about how football should mean the same in America as everywhere else. But his followers didn't latch on to it because no one in maga gives a fuck about soccer.
Fifa gained nothing, and made people hate them even more. I really don't know why Europe doesn't just make their own. FIFA has been corrupt and holding the sport back for decades.
Because Obama got a Nobel peace prize, Trump is obsessed with getting one himself. That's why.
Boycott the World Cup, boycott the Olympics, boycott America.
Annual? Did fifa actually give these out before? I thought this was special just for Trump.
Hard to imagine FIFA being capable of embarrassment.
They can't go any lower than this in their effort to appease a megalomaniac.
If they were so worried about world peace they should have barred the Israeli football clubs from participating in any international tournaments.
Stop giving peace prizes to American heads of state and their cabinets, it has never gone well. Henry Kissinger has a nobel one.
Are they afraid their fake award is going to lose credibility because they gave it to the person they made it up for and he doesn’t deserve it?
Who could have possibly seen bad behaviors coming from him...
Sounds like an org that just follows whatever they perceive as the popular thing. Little donnie has been sinking for a while where even the most fervent base is cheering for him with a half-hearted smile while looking around for support.
I'm sure FIFA is "really embarrassed". They're so sad they started using $20 bills to dry their tears.
FIFA should take their peace prize and shove it. I hope they lose a lot of money on this year's world cup.
My first thought when reading the title was that he could also claim the Fifa World Cup Trophy. It was meant to be a joke, but now I am not so sure that it won't happen :-)
