Probably, at the very most, Denmark might boycott it if the US went for Greenland. Which, on the upside, would mean we'd just have to beat the Czechs to get to the World Cup!
I think it's more likely that the US play on Greenland is a bargaining chip though. Taking out an unpopular dictator in Venezuela is one thing, going after NATO territory is another entirely.
Well we would play North Macedonia!
I think they are capable of annexing Greenland. He doesn't give a **** about NATO.
I can't see how Denmark would play. In fact, UEFA would have a big conversation among it's various associations to be had. I suspect the Norway and Sweden would join the boycott. It would come down to the bigger countries because I suspect the Eastern European countries would not boycott. I would join the boycott if UEFA boycotted en masse.
If that did happen, it would be hillarious if UEFA/Commebol organised a tournament during the summer in Germany. They could probably put on a tournament like that at such short notice.
I'm no fan of trump but It's pretty clear it's all posturing as a tactic for negotiations. They already have the legal right to put as many military bases there as they want and actually annexing it would take an act of Congress. On the legal front, Greenland would have to ratify any agreements with their version of a referendum and I don't see all that getting done before the mid-terms.
I could be wildly naive here but I just don't see it happening illegally. Doesn't mean that we won't be dragged through a years worth of blaring headlines for every mad thing that comes out of his mouth and I've no doubt the posturing will go up a few more notches.
Sorry if I'm going way off topic here..
