    FIFA are giving peace prizes? Why? Their sense of importance is astounding. They need to get back to grassroots.

      It’s just bribery. Give Trump something shiny and expensive with “Trump is great” written on it and he’ll treat you favorably.

      Because Obama got a Nobel peace prize, Trump is obsessed with getting one himself. That’s why.

      Fifa want trump to change “soccer” to “football” and trump wanted a peace prize.

      So FIFA made up a peace prize and gave it to trump.

      And for like an afternoon trump rambled about how football should mean the same in America as everywhere else. But his followers didn’t latch on to it because no one in maga gives a fuck about soccer.

      Fifa gained nothing, and made people hate them even more. I really don’t know why Europe doesn’t just make their own. FIFA has been corrupt and holding the sport back for decades.
