These reasons
a). Cost tickets over £500-1000 per match
b) FIFA politics as above. Not in line with western public opinion at least
c) Political turmoil in USA and anti Trump sentiment.
d) Toxic rhetoric from US Government to Europeans allies
e) Direct threatening talk to Canada and Denmark. Canada host some games
Anything can happen folks. [Post edited 3 Feb 13:42]

FIFA have been institutionally corrupt for years
It is all about blown envelopes
Footballers are intrinsically self centred and lack moral fibre and it’s why so many rshrw the modern game
Why would any family man spend a weeks wage on a ticket |  |

We've just had World Cup in Russia and Qatar.
Singling the US out for political reasons against this backdrop doesn't make any sense to me. | | | |

I saw allowing Russia back into international football as the issue? |  | | |

My comment was more aimed the the list that followed and the clamour (from some quarters) for a boycott. | | | |

Yet fans in this country and Europe are showing their support for the World Cup with record demand for tickets.
Little evidence of any support for a boycott, except from left wing Anti American groups. | |

And shows how shallow are football fans
Their pleasure overrides all
Over 100 Ukrainian footballers have been killed by Russian forces who invaded their country
Still , as long as they get to support the boys? Drink well and talk bollox to opposing fans | |

It will go ahead for sure, a boycott at this level would be a drop in the pond. And few ripples.
Anyone using a political position are as lost as those who know nothing about football but like the occasion. In equal amounts.
England and Scotland will take thousands and group tickets are at an achievable price level. We can only hope that March brings an equal response from Wales.
England World Cup fixtures ticket prices (ESTC members)
Croatia (group stage) - £198 to £523
Ghana (group stage) - £164 to £448
Panama (group stage) - £164 to £463
Round of 32 - £175 to £456
Round of 16 - £220 to £575
Quarter-final - £508 to £1,076
Semi-final - £687 to £2,370
Final - £3,129 to £6,489
Five games there for England fans for around £900 if they have chosen to gamble on pre quarter final games. They won’t care about any boycott.

How did you feel about boycotting South Africa in apartheid days
The plea was to keep politics out of sport which is of course crap
Nothing stopped fans enjoying the Bokke when toured when back home they were butchering natives and forcing them into townships to develop separately
Without a boycott , South Africa wouldn’t have changed when it did and Mandela would have died in prison | |

Some see things politically, me i see things differently. As per my post above. You know me by now that my politics are neither here nor there after forty years of Labour voting and anti fascist work. It’s documented with the band over that time as well. Longer in fact.
Nowadays I don’t see a left or right just the dismay of what was true years ago for any working class Welshman. Labour have gone, the Tory’s I couldn’t vote for ever, so the alternatives have no place in my life.
Football will win and so will the World Cup for the reasons I stated above. | |

Football fans of whatever country will have no choice if their governments choose to boycott.
I suspect our lot will sh!t themselves rather than do the right thing if that orange pr!ck does invade greenland.
As ive said i like alot i know wont be going if wales get through, it isnt about drinking amd have a laugh with other countries fans as was said by a pr!ck on here. [Post edited 3 Feb 17:10]

I know you follow Wales relentlessly and will cheer as loudly as anyone if we get there. Your opinion for that alone is correct. I’m hearing the exiled Welsh in the USA will be there in vast numbers, even further afield like Canada.
If there’s opposition don't worry FIFA have the finances to quell that. | |

We do but the wont have as much travel costs as us and fifa dont give a fcuk about anyone bar themselves, its all about doing the right thing and as ive said our government wont have the balls to boycott even if the orange pr!ck does invade greenland.
And before the right wingers come on guffawing, our government no matter who was in charge wouldn't boycott the wc. | | | |

There's little sign of boycotts in other areas of life., so why is football different?
Iran has qualified for the World Cup, but little sign of 'the enlightened' raising any issues with their participation. Hypocrisy is alive and well, thousands killed by the authorities and not a word. [Post edited 3 Feb 17:43]

Who saved Greenland in WW2 when Germany wanted to base their U-boats there to disrupt the North Atlantic supply ships? I'll give you a clue; it wasn't Denmark! | | | |

So that gives them the right to invade? Yeah ok.
According to them they saved our arses in WW2, nothing to do with us fighting on our own until they decided to enter after pearl harbour.
I think this should be moved to non football as its turned at tad amd drawn me in when I dont normally talk politics bollox. | | | |

In 1956 we saw USSR v Hungary water polo months after the tanks moved into Budapest
In 69 they did it to Prague yet Mexico went ahead
Hypocrisy is the only word
This shouldn’t be about left or right but just
FIFA is corrupt to the core [Post edited 3 Feb 19:30]

Snow all over the place apparently. Dropping as low as -13 some nights. I've done lower (Canada in 1995 got down to -23) but it should be manageable. | |

Saudi awarded WC 2034 by FIFA
Now the backlog of executions has ramped up to get it cleared and plenty more beheadings and confessions under torture galore in the next 8 years....

However, as I'm not planning on staying in the US illegally or trying to run over Federal Agents, I'm more concerned about actual ice. | |
