have told me that FIFA is the world's second most corrupt organization, with Republicans #ONE..........

Maybe ALL of soccer's foreign teams, players, and fans should refuse to attend ANY event held in the USA??????????????
And including any soccer fans/spectators buying tickets to ANY World soccer game here in the U.S.

Everyone could call it a "Anti-Trump/Republican Soccer Tariff"................
