World Cup Back On: UEFA Is Reportedly Dropping Its Boycott Now That It 'Received Necessary Assurances' FIFA Won't Sell Off The World Cup

We're about a month into this boycott. A boycott that started because Gianni Infantino is one of the greediest dudes in the world. Almost have to respect how much of a villain he is. The whole plan was to sell stakes of the World Cup, make a ton of money and act like it's still jogo bonito. 

Then the world revolted. You had fans, confederations, countries, a bunch of people just saying how dumb this is. It's the World Cup, leave it alone, you just made a shit ton of money. The pressure was on Infantino to drop this all or face a confederation like UEFA boycotting the World Cup and FIFA Tournaments. Not only that but he's got an election coming up and that's how we get to this moment: 

It felt like only a matter of time. It's also because we have a FIFA Tournament coming up: 

So instead of boycotting the U-20 Tournament, countries are just saying fuck Gianni basically

Kinda hilarious Italy is doing this when they don't even make World Cups. I can make the joke as an Italian. They stink out loud over the last 12 years, outside of Euros. Thanks for beating England in the Finals. That was awesome. I said it before but it's all so stupid. Just play the World Cup. I don't know how we get to this point with sports. Everything is being sold, everything is boycotts or going to courts. Just play the games man. That's all we want as fans. We just want to see games and talk about games. We want the dumb arguments about who is better or who played against plumbers. I know we long for nostalgia quite a bit, but I do miss the days where we just talked ball. Let's get back to that soon.
