Please just boycott this world cup for the love of everything that is holy on this planet

This. I call myself football fan, but i will not watch any game or consume any kind of product carrying WC adds. this whole thing has Berlin 36 vibes all over. But sad truth is most people dont care. Most of my friends know this WC is bullshit, know that FIFA is a corrupt pile of shit and know the trump regime will try to use the WC for propaganda, they will watch the games anyway.

I'd question whether they're setting up for a false flag but I think the administration is just that fucking stupid.

They misspelled Israel.
