"I cancelled my World Cup tickets," one social media user wrote. "The ICE may decide that I am a gang member."

Calls are growing on social media for international soccer fans to boycott the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is being hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico.

    1. Yes I did, if only the USA teams boycott fans from other countries still attend. All the money gained from tourism is still received.
    2. See #1
    3. At best its the 5th most popular sport in America, it might be even lower. I don’t care if it deters interest, personally, I’d respect the players more if they boycotted.
    4. Again do you know who won the MLS championship? I see plenty of WORDLE comments and posts in your history, very couldn’t find any MLS stuff.

      My God! What a brilliant deduction! I’m not a soccer fan, so my opinion on something only tangentially related to the sport is invalid and that makes your ridiculous assertion that LA’s World Cup will be miraculously successful if the host country’s teams would just withraw completely valid. Brilliant!

      I see that you looked at my profile to try to make this about me rather than your weak argument. You should really join us in dailygames! The daily brain exercises might help you to form coherent thoughts and understand some of the words I just used.

        The rudeness is really uncalled for so I’m going to leave things here. I wish you the best of luck 🖖
