Donald Trump, fresh off getting FIFA’s shiny new ‘Peace Prize’ from his buddy Gianni Infantino for ‘uniting the world through football’ 🏆⚽, now has his envoy lobbying to kick war torn Iran out of the World Cup and hand the spot to Italy (whom have rejected the offer) instead.
Because nothing says ‘peace’ like politicising the beautiful game, starting wars, and then demanding your preferred team gets the golden ticket.
FIFA really outdid themselves with this one. Nobel Committee is laughing.
