Ticket prices would be the least of my concerns. You would have to be nuts to go anywhere near this World Cup unless it's games in Canada or Mexico. Travelling football fans are inevitably going to end up in ICE detention camps and god knows where after that.
LOL ~ Propaganda works !Quote:

there are numerous cases of tourists who have legally entered the United States being detained by ICE
Perhaps they have been legally detained for very good reasons ? !Quote:

Members of punk band UK Subs were detained at customs in LA and eventually denied entry to the US. There's a lot of athletes who take political stances, who's to say they won't be detained for the same reason next year, or before the Olympics in 2028?

Err. That's another way of saying what I said. Go see a World Cup match in a more welcoming country (i.e. Mexico or Canada).Quote:

Three in the band were detained for 25 hours, with only a pot noodle and tea for sustenance, what law did the other two break? Do you think it's acceptable to treat anyone in their late 60s in this manner?Quote:

Did America break its own laws to deport these people ~ I doubt that ~ And I would say that these people, would have a strong legal case if that was what happened !Quote:
