FIFA

Trump already stole the World Cup trophy when it was meant to be presented to Chelsea, the winning team.

And FIFA turns around and gives him more goodies.

My guess is that Trump threatened FIFA with no venues for the 2026 World Cup games and it's too late to find new ones. And FIFA caved.

they would have long since REMOVED the World Cup games from the US and given them to some other deserving nation. However, Infantino apparently has no balls at all.

not a club tournament.
Come to think of it, the only time England won a World Cup was when Germany was robbed in 1966 and the Brits behaved like it was WW2 again.
