Best advice, avoid watching the matches in the US; go watch the Mexico and Canadian matches.

    Please, stop giving me reasons to not visit your shithole. I already didn't want to come anyway.

    From the inside, you really should not. The US is not safe anymore.

    I totally agree with you, but it feels weird saying things like this, because it's what the xenophobes would also say.

    Like foreign students. Telling them to stay away because it's dangerous for them here feels wrong, even though it's factually correct.

    If you were thinking of heading this direction, Canada is a great place to visit.

    Until we recover our sanity, your tourist dollars are better spent pretty much anywhere else

    Can't wait to see extraordinarily low turnouts for the world cup and the 2028 Olympics

    It won't be low turnouts, though. The majority of people who go to those things are wealthy, and the US doesn't have a problem with them. Shit, wasn't the last world cup rife with human rights violations?

    So if a family of 4 wanted to go to the US, there is an additional $1000 charge, that might or might not get refunded.

    Apparently the US only wants rich tourists. Wonder if the 5M Trump Gold card gets that fee waved. Somehow I doubt it.

    Please take care of yourself and don't come here. Spending your money anywhere else and leaving an empty seat at the WC is the best thing for all parties.

    The Gold Card is a residency permit, so unless rules change again Gold Card holders wouldn't need visas so wouldn't have to pay the new fee.

    And I don't think it's that we want only rich tourists. It's that we are treating all foreigners as criminals. If you think of it more like "every foreigner belongs in jail, but you can pay bail to get out" it makes more sense. You only get your "bail" refunded if you "behave"....

    I wasn't going to go there but now I won't go there extra hard.

    Boycott the World Cup and any future Olympics that take place in this shit hole country. We don’t deserve to have them, and the people who come to cheer for the athletes don’t deserve to be treated like trash.

    Big beautiful solution: don't host the World Cup in USA.

    So they really hate tourists. Well, it's their tourist industry.

    But it will not be that problematic as they will missing the cheap immigrant labour in the hospitality business. The absence of foreign tourist will compensate for that.

    It's mainly not a problem because Orange Juice does not have to face the consequences of any of his decisions.

    It's most likely even the oppostie, he benefits from them.

    Imagine if every time you did something bad you got rewarded for it.
