Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

As much as I don't like that anyone would be going and therefore supporting the US whilst the orange is alive... I can't wait to see Americans interacting with pissed English fans because:

  1. They will not be able to handle the chants therefore,

  2. Large fights will break out in the street and therefore,

  3. A good portion of the type of English fans who'd travel to the US now, will get beaten, locked up, and possibly shot by the American police. Oh and hopefully have a pleasant stay in an ICE facility.

These types of fans are aligned politically with trump and farage so it'd give me great satisfaction to watch them suffer the treatment they'd happily wish on others.

And if less comes back than went out that'd be a net positive for our country: a slight reduction in racist attacks and domestic violence.

don't. Even here in Toronto Canada where we're hosting a few games just don't. it's already an absolute cluster of a fuck here. City Council originally said 'hey we're gonna have a FIFA tailgate party thing where it's free for everyone!" then they decided "no...no people should pay" and THEN they decided "well ok 80% of the people can get in for free, 20% have to pay"

Combine that and the fact that the main field has essentially been mcgivered to add extra seating so you're essentially sitting in seats propped up by metal scaffolding WAY high up and the fact the field is on the other side of a crumbling and traffic jammed 24/7 Gardiner expressway....yeah don't come here either.

They completely forgot the risk of ending up in ICE's concentration camps for "speaking strange".

Or at the very least their dignity.

Their dignity.
But if they go, they probably didn't have much to begin with.

For the scots: a spine, reputation and freedom

For the English: a plane ticket

Don't know what it would cost, but it would likely take hell freezing over before it happens.
