Is anything England accomplishes forfeit because Starmer helped stop an earlier start for the Mexico game? Or is it just that you hate Trump that he lives rent free in your head and you can't imagine that other people aren't so consumed by him. I get it, he sucks. But most of the rest of the world isn't nearly as consumed by him as too many of us are. If FIFA sending the World Cup to Russia and Qatar didn't diminish the World Cup, neither is Trump whining and getting a suspension suspended isn't going to do it

Messi's foul was far more egregious and even looked intentional, but he didn't even get a whistle.

No organization is as corrupt as the Trump family. That's a mighty high hurdle to clear.
