Gonna boycott the cup, though.

Fair. Boycotting Fifa, United States, or both?

As an actual citizen, I'm actively cheering against the U.S.

We just had the World Baseball Classic (WBC) early this year which is trying to mimic the hype and competition of the Fifa World Cup, just with baseball. United States and Venezuela... yup, the country which we captured their president, was in the finals. I was happily rooting for Venezuela, and poetically, they beat team USA for the championship. To be fair, team Venezuela is loaded with talent, but it's humorous seeing a country that the United States recently emasculated and is actively pillaging (oil), got beat at their own pastime.

I was rooting for team Canada in the recent Olympic hockey gold medal match as well, but unfortunately Canada couldn't come through.

For the world cup, I'll be supporting any North American country that isn't U.S.. I would be rooting for Poland (I'm 1/2 Polish) but they didn't qualify, so my weight is behind Mexico, which is probably the most represented nation in Chicagoland outside of Polish/Eastern European nations. 

To FIFA's credit, they did get it correct by scattering the matches all over North America.


Switching sports...

NBA Playoffs are in full swing. Victor Wembanyama is amazing. Is the hype just as real in France/Europe? This kid might be the next best player the sport has ever seen.

Boycotting Fifa

FIFA and Infantino (that ass-kissing money sucking twat). I would absolutely love it if all football clubs collectively withdrew from FIFA, in Europe from UEFA, and in Germany from the DFB. But money makes the world go round, even though it has nothing to do anymore with football (or for you us-american peeps: soccer).

Both, with bit more bias towards the current US' state of affairs. Both are equally corrupt to the core.

But to be honest, I'm not the biggest sports watcher anyway (although I like watching the women matches every now and then as I'm rooting for them to get more recognition in their business).

Exactly. Who could have thought it could get worse than under Sepp Blatter

It's not even that for me. Although I'm sometimes more in favor of underdogs, I am usually of the attitude "may the better team win". It's only when I feel like a team starts getting arrogant or plays unfairly or ... follows the invitation of an orange Führer to the white house or is chugging beers with a leader of a three letter agency.. when this kind of sentiment creeps in..
