Trump spoils The World Cup draw.

I wonder what point Donald Trump thought his presence at the World Cup draw would help to sell the sport to the world, baring in mind he is deporting most of the fans of those competing countries from America. The pathetic sight of him receiving a huge gold trophy and big fat medal from the grovelling head of FIFA for bringing peace to the world through football made a fair few Venezuelan fisherman puke. Did Trump start that particular war so he could end that particular war , another skull to the Predators belt to take it to nine wars ended. As terrible as the live World Cup draw was ( it took 78 minutes for the first lot to be drawn in anger) it's good to know the schedule and the times of the group matches. For United Kingdom time. It's not great though as 34 of the matches shown here will start after midnight and four at 5 am! The USA has a lot of time zones and spreading the games from East Coast to West gives the US some room to schedule TV markets to each country, England's games starting at 9pm and 10pm, meaning late afternoon kickoffs in AMerica. The draw itself was convoluted and stretched to make sure certain tams were kept apart and hosts America, Canada and Mexico as first group picks makes those three groups easier for the big teams in them. Switzerland have a really easy group now. For some reason England got drawn ian group with another European team, Croatia, when it was fairly clear the draw rules did not allow that to happen. All four United Kingdon teams could be in AMerica as Wales and Northern Ireland are in the play -offs although a tough route to get to the main stage.

this is the first time in my life I have felt so unconnected to the World Cup. The matches that will be held in the US will be under attended, and I'm sure he'll want his ugly face on camera instead of the teams. Jamaica may still qualify but ... And to give that racist pederast who fails at everything a Peace Award? I felt like vomiting.
