The Greatest World Cup Win Ever

[BelemNole]

A HUGE WORLD CUP WIN FOR AMERICA

Greatest most profitable World Cup ever with 48 nations competing on 114 matches over 6 weeks in the three major North American countries of Canada, Mexico and USA bringing in an estimated 9 billion in profits for the FIFA and has exposed soccer or Futbol to the American market in a huge way.

Final match having hugely successful halftime show showing folks like the NFL Super Bowl how to do it .

With the huge profits to the FIFA there was a huge massive profit stream to all the people and companies working with the World Cup.

This sponsorship with the resulting tourism and huge visitation of tourists from all over the world has showcased the GOLDEN AMERICA as there is a saying of BELIEVE WHAT YOUR EYES SEE

The woke folks narrative on America was totally destroyed.

FOREIGN VISITORS LOVED WHAT THEY SAW AND EXPERIENCED

A huge win for Americans.

THANK YOU TRUMP

The funniest part of this nonsense post was crowing about the half-time show.

 

[SoProudNole]

Any normal American would be embarrassed by Trump lingering on stage trying to get into Spain's photo, while the president of FIFA was trying to drag his demented @SS off stage.

He's the Art Garfunkle to Infantino's Paul Simon.

Surprisingly I had numerous people comment to me how much better the WC halftime show was when compared to the Super Bowl Bad Bunny fiasco

Some like it hot Some like it cold

You pick I like my WC show

I wouldn't doubt that people you know liked it better that no one spoke spanish.

The rest of the world was confused as hell about why the second half was delayed for a half time show as this wasn't an american football game.

It's okay that you didn't understand it. I didn't during first view, but our son has a 1/2 Puerto Rican kiddo on his team and his dad explained it to me. There was so much going on, but meant the world to our US Territory peeps just south of us.

 

[PalmettoTiger1]

Maybe peruse the board a little more. People are crediting "the bestest most amazingest WC eva to Trump." You don't find that comical? Oh, wait, you haven't seen any of that. Anywhere. NM.

IF THE WORLD CUP HAD CRAPPED OUT YOU TDS FOLKS WOULD BE BLAMING TRUMP CALLING HIM HITLER

THE TRUTH IS THERE WAS MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF LOGISTICS TRUMP HAD TO ENPOWER TO KEEP THE WC SAFE SECURE AND MOVING

HE DID THE JOB

IT WAS AN EXCELLENT JOB AND NOT HALF BASS

It was for US TV viewer consumption

Maybe we should have done it in Mandorin Chinese

while having a bunch of large WNBA girls beat up on Caitlin Clark

That sounds like a plan you would like

Actually, had it not been for this forum, the subject of Trump and politics would have NEVER crossed my mind. The WC was a great way to escape all the political nonsense. I don't sit around thinking of ways I can drool over a President and that includes Bush after 911 who was a dagum boss at the time!

THE TRUTH IS THERE WAS MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF LOGISTICS TRUMP HAD TO ENPOWER TO KEEP THE WC SAFE SECURE AND MOVING

HE DID THE JOB

What specifically did Trump do that's so unprecedentedly noteworthy? Were you this grateful to Bill Clinton for the success of the 1996 Olympics?

Personally, I'd like to thank:

- FIFA (overall tournament organization)
- United 2026 organizing committee
- U.S. Soccer, Canada Soccer, and Mexico's FMF (host federation coordination)
- The host city committees
- State and local governments
- Local police departments
- Fire/EMS
- Stadium owners and operators
- Airport authorities and airlines
- Hotels and hospitality workers
- Tens of thousands of volunteers
- Private security contractors
- DHS, Secret Service, FBI, CBP, TSA, and other federal agencies responsible for security and border operations
- The players, coaches, referees, and tournament staff
- AND THE FANS!!

I am OK with mixing some up

Just remember where the money comes from

US Dollars are king

Europe speaks lots of English

They have lots of dollars

Not Surprisingly a very generous number of Latin Based Spanish folks are bi lingual and enjoy the American culture

So insult the American culture and next time you won’t get a return invitation

So you will maybe GET ME

I loved Bill Clinton as President and voted two terms for him

Last President to work with House Speaker Grinrich to balance and create budget surpluses

My two men good job

And to complete a massive job like the WC takes lots of people and they all deserve kudos

Personally when I worked in an office through my whole career I would buy lunches every so often for the janitorial services worker who cleaned the bathrooms and my office

Christmas gifts too

Never forget those folks when you are on top of the hill

 

[tigres88]

I personally am fully capable of both being glad about something he's done, and still hate the way he attempts to make everything about himself. Whatever amount of involvement he had, I was glad to host and am thankful we did, so good job on that by him if so.

I'm truly in awe that you are able to hold 2 things to be true at once- how is this possible?

By your standard, I assume you weren't a fan of U2 (Ireland), Coldplay (UK), or The Weeknd (Canada) either? Or Dr. Dre and Snoop talking about issues in Compton? The halftime show has never been "America only." It's been about showcasing artists with broad cultural impact. Sometimes that's country, sometimes hip-hop, sometimes Latin music, sometimes rock. FTR, Bad Bunny is a US Citizen, so there's that.

Actually to be honest None of those dudes hit me

I do like Celine Dion with her being Canadian along with Shania Twain whom I once partied with having drinks all night when she appeared on a game show in Charleston SC

Had some friends with me and there was some country western singers there too so we drank all night at the Omni in downtown Charleston

If looking for PEOPLE NUMBERS then only Chinese and Bollywood music would be the halftime show entertainment

And that would have been my preference over Bad Bunny

That doesn't sound like conservative Christian maga values

even Jesus while on earth drank alcoholic wine

so I do as Jesus would do

Just to add another thoughts or so

I NEVER AGREED WITH THE IMPEACHMENT OF CLINTON.

terrible idea but politically was in the cards

The best thing for the country was to have let that go away

Don’t mention Hillary as I think her a douche

Clinton was a good guy with lots of faults like Trump but he could run the USA

same as Trump can run the USA

 

[BelemNole]

It was for US TV viewer consumption

while having a bunch of large WNBA girls beat up on Caitlin Clark

Yes, US consumption. The same US that made him the #1 artist. The same US that Puerto Rico is a part of. The same US that has 45 million spanish speakers.

 

[PalmettoTiger1]

I'll look into this to get accurate, current details rather than relying on the forum posts alone.Here's a fuller, sourced picture of Trump's actual involvement, separate from the forum's back-and-forth:

**The 2018 bid process**
The joint "United Bid" from the US, Canada, and Mexico was built over years by the three soccer federations and bid committees, emphasizing existing stadiums, infrastructure, and revenue projections — that's what FIFA's own evaluation weighted most heavily. Trump's specific contributions during his first term were:
- Publicly tweeting support and warning that countries relying on U.S. support should back the bid, a comment that prompted soccer's governing body to refer to guidelines that warn against political influence over bids, and which some soccer officials, like the German federation president, said hurt the bid more than they helped it.
- Publicly pressing Nigeria and other African nations for support during a Rose Garden appearance with Nigeria's president.
- Sending letters to FIFA reassuring the organization that foreign teams and fans would not have trouble traveling to the United States, addressing concerns his own travel/visa policies raised.

FIFA members voted 134–65 for the United Bid over Morocco on June 13, 2018 — while Trump was in office, but with the win driven mainly by infrastructure and financial guarantees rather than his lobbying specifically.

**The hosting era (2025–2026)**
Because Trump returned to office before the tournament, he's had a second, more direct hand in it:
- He put an ally, Andrew Giuliani, in charge of a White House task force on the World Cup, and convened that task force with FIFA and administration officials to plan the event.
- He received the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize from Gianni Infantino at the World Cup draw in Washington in December 2025.
- He was expected to feature prominently at the December 2025 draw ceremony in Washington.
- FIFA confirmed in advance that he would personally help hand the trophy to the winning captain at the final, alongside Infantino.

**The final, July 19, 2026**
Trump did appear at the final (Spain beat Argentina) and was heavily booed — both when his face appeared on stadium screens before kickoff and again as he walked onto the field afterward. He helped present medals; Infantino handed the actual trophy to Spain's captain, Rodri. Some coverage described Trump lingering on stage during Spain's celebration in a way Infantino appeared to try to redirect. This echoed a similar booed appearance at the Club World Cup final (Chelsea vs. PSG) in July 2025.

So the honest summary: his role in securing the bid is real but contested and secondary to the federations' work; his role in the actual 2026 hosting apparatus (task force, ceremonial presence, trophy presentation) has been substantial and higher-profile than the other two host nations' leaders; and his reception from the crowd at the final was notably hostile, not the triumphant moment the forum post describes.




You think other nations are going to Nigeria to shake babies and kiss hands while working with Fifa for a task force?




Or do you think maybe the guy who said "There is little evidence trump had anything to do with this"... may be a partisan hack?

Think through it. I believe in you.

BOOING YOUR HOST PRESIDENT TRUMP IN AMERICA ON HIS COURT IS really bush league by both Americans and disrespectful foreigners

USA sponsored and performed a magnificent WC

Accept the fact and say Thank you the many people who under the leadership of Trump and the Soccer folks made this happen safely and securely

Move on to the next bigly thing

checked with AI

of those 45 million Spanish Speakers 40 million speak English

There are also huge numbers of other languages spoken in the US as multilingual mode

Focusing on an audience in the Super Bowl that is Spanish speaking directed may have been a result of some marketing focus group

If asked I would think this was a fiasco similar to using the transsexual to market beer to men

or the Sydney Sweeney debacle of criticizing her

Corporations pay huge fees to advertise and laser focusing on target markets beats focusing like a shotgun

 

[Allornothing]

Spain is an amazing country, many Americans move there every year.

You have never left your trailer park before.

I have been to Spain ****tard.
