The World Cup is underway in North America, and these cards should only be applied for games played in the United States. There’s no way Canada and Mexico can fuck things up at the same level as our rapidly declining empire.
I’ve been watching some of the group stage matches, and running into wonderful crowds of Scots, Haitians, and Norwegians in Boston while they party and wait to be herded onto our slapped together commuter rail route to Foxboro. This is normally a line that only functions for NFL, MLS, and concerts, since not a lot of people live out there for regular commuting purposes.
A month of matches has put strain on that system, so the MBTA has diverted trains from other routes to support the increased volume. Getting people to Foxboro has gone rather smoothly, since they can stagger the trains, but everyone at the stadium obviously wants to leave as soon as the games end and that’s led to some clusterfucks, but everyone’s having fun.
Except for Iran’s team, who’ve been forced to hop on planes immediately after their US games since we’re being dicks and not allowing them to stay overnight. It’s pettiness like this that makes Trump’s surrendering to Iran to end the war he started utterly humiliating for him and everyone stupid enough to think that war was gonna turn out any other way.
