    This is so thoroughly embarrassing for Americans.

    I'm going to try to keep the corruption aspect of my mind and watch the 3-hour ( :ROFLMAO: ) WC draw for the comedy. If you liked the type of comedy that the British Office and first couple of seasons of the American version gave us, then this draw should be pretty funny to you. Especially when they play YMCA. I reckon it will resemble this:

    I will take a pass pass...would rather go for a root canal than watch Infantino sucking up to the orange clown for 3 hours...

    C’mon, the Village People aren’t my thing, as I guess they’re not you’re either, but getting them to play hardly makes Infantino a scumbag.

    I guess they didn't pray hard enough last year! I pray to Joe Pesci and like with God my chances are 50/50. ;)

    Good point. I was initially thinking that Trump and Infantino would be taking turns auditioning for the role of David Brent/Michael Scott, but Infantino is probably more interested in the Dwight Schrute role.

    What about the Village People playing followed by Trump being awarded the first annual "FIFA Peace Prize"? Does that qualify?

    I saw the Village People open for Cher back in her Farewell Tour days (is that still going on?) and at the time I was put-off with their over-the-top patriotism, flag waving, etc.

    Its pure comedy. Infantino inviting the band because YMCA is Trump's favorite song, and Trump still unaware that its the gayest song ever produced (not that there's anything wrong with that).

    The Village People are one of Trump's favorite bands? Strange.

    I guess he wants to be a macho man :D

    Messi is not going to be there. I guess he may want to avoid getting a picture with Trump. Or maybe he doesn't like the Village People.

    And the first annual FIFA Peace Prize officially goes to Donald J. Trump :sick:

    Never mind that he's killing people in the Caribbean, threatening war on Venezuela, etc.

    I have to admit that Andrea Bocelli is cool to listen to. And, I have no idea about his politics or if he's any unsavory character's favorite.

    This is why I am finding it hard to care about the WC next year. If kissing fascist ass is required, I don't want any part of it.

    The peace prize trophy is bigger than the one for winning the tournament.

    Russia 2018, Qatar 2022 and didn't I hear Saudi Arabia is getting one?

    The same people who get bent out of shape when Kaep took a knee because "politics shouldn't be in sports" just shot star-spangled goo from their American-flag tattooed dicks. 'MURICA!

    On the bright side (if there is any), maybe this meaningless award will distract him from wanting the FIFA World Cup Trophy in his personal collection.

    Now, about bombing the shit out of Venezuela... When will Daddy start nuking them? "BOMBS AWAY MUDDAFUKKA!!" (The last bit is sarcasm.)

    Maybe not, but it's pretty much like Gov Ritchie's comment to the greatest POTUS ever, Jed Bartlet, when he said, "you can't be trusted"! :geek:

    I would actually like a 3D printed version of the trophy for my office.
