      Gee I wonder why they would be upset? Could it be the treatment of certain teams and fans by ICE? Could it be blatant corruption within FIFA? Could it be outrageously price gouged seat? Could it be because the USA is enabling genocide in Gaza?the list could go on but yes thanks America

      Edit: don’t get me wrong fuck tankies but supporting the US here makes 0 sense.

        Definitely wouldn’t support the federal gov and certainly understand being upset with the voting plurality, but I support the America that Norway is talking about here.

          I too support the America Norway is talking about here but that Amrica wasn’t the one on display this world cup. I don’t want to argue because I understand the message but it was so blatantly the opposite that it genuinely pains me to see this. Regardless of what tankies and conservatives feel. Broken clocks are right twice a day and in this case it was the lowest hanging fruit possible.

    Loved that one fan taking a “stance” against the rowing basically because “it’s stupid and actually the Norwegian sailed not rowed”, just so weirdly pedantic lmao

      “Jeeves, have the Norwegians issued any statements about the cup?”

      “Yes, sire.”

      “Read it to me.”

      “It’s one initialism, sire. No images included, just ‘GTFO’.”

      “Wot?”
