Cacciate gli americani di merda dalla NATO e boicottate la loro Coppa del Mondo

Rob de Wijk, the renowned foreign affairs commentator, made a clear case in Trouw on Friday for the US to leave NATO. According to Rob, we need to stop repeating the mantra that “we can’t do without America.” ‘It’s a matter of will.’ That’s just how it is. Now you might say: what am I supposed to do with that on the sports page of De Volkskrant? 

But I mention Rob, a man after my own heart, for a reason. De Wijk has the courage to think the unthinkable: we are fed up with those cheeky bastards, kick those shitty Americans out!

We should follow his example. In line with Rob’s plea, I therefore call for a boycott of the World Cup soccer tournament this summer in the US. (It is also being held in Canada and Mexico, but the Dutch national team is not playing there, so they are not included in this call.)

Actually, I am fundamentally opposed to sports boycotts, which are usually weak displays of quasi-power. Because no one wants boycotts that cost a lot of money or disrupt the Concertgebouw Orchestra’s foreign tour, we turn to sports to appease our conscience: boycott.

Why should we boycott the World Cup and, if possible, the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles? In short: because of Donald Trump and what he stands for. And in particular because next summer’s World Cup threatens to become one big celebration of Trump fascism.

You can already picture the pompous bluffer sitting on the VIP terrace of MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, watching the World Cup final on July 19. That scene will be a repeat of a painful scene from ninety years ago: Adolf Hitler in the stands of Berlin’s Olympic Stadium. A scene for which the sport is still ashamed; never before has it so shamelessly sold its soul and allowed itself to be so easily turned into a dictator’s propaganda vehicle.

Never again, you might say, but in recent decades, the sport has proven to be stubborn. Sport is a prostitute that lends itself to many things. But a World Cup celebrating the delusions of grandeur of a racist, unscrupulous, and violent real estate tycoon and his cronies should be a step too far, even for her. Even if that sport is led by an unprincipled and cynical Swiss who likes to award peace prizes to warmongers.

A robust sports boycott only makes sense if it is part of a bigger story. That is why Rob de Wijk fits in so seamlessly here. A boycott of the World Cup and nothing else is a meaningless gesture. But it would be a start and an important signal; a sign that we do not blindly agree with everything those suckers come up with.

The easiest way to make fun of the world cup to be to not watch it through official streaming sites by paying money, rather use piracy websites to stream them so its their loss

Honestly, as an American I say do it. Wait for the Orange Man-Child to be out of office and then we try to rebuild relations.

The first time qualifying for the world cup in 28 years and this is the one that we qualified for, dammit!

FIFA is as corrupt as the USA, just saying

No, we should not break up NATO… but boycotting the world cup would be nice, and maybe teaching FIFA something too.

I think you all underestimate how little the people you’re trying to send a message to care about the world cup and soccer, in general.

Boycott the G20 in Florida.

Donald Trump refused to attend the last one.

Never understood these comments “Kick X county out of Y alliance” Incredibly short-sighted and non-strategic.

It’s much easier and more prudent to kick a bad politician out of a governance function, than a country out of an alliance.

Problem is, there’s nothing quite like a not-shitty American and bad generalisations always get us all into trouble, including most of the trouble we’re in.

What? Europe needs NATO, and NATO without the USA is a joke.

It’s the only way the US would win… the cheese doodle in chief is trying to show American “strength” by fixing the World Cup

FIFA awarded President Donald Trump the inaugural “FIFA Peace Prize – Football Unites the World” on December 4, 2025, during the 2026 World Cup Final Draw at Washington’s Kennedy Center.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino praised Trump lavishly for ceasefires in Gaza, Congo-Rwanda, and other efforts, presenting the December 4, 2025, award as recognizing a leader who “cares about the people” and unites the world.

“Hands off Greenland” 🇬🇱

Don’t allow Americans in the Olympics, take away airports, military bases, any arm deals in any country, don’t buy American.

As an American I want my EU fam to know that we do not all support this bullshit by an overwhelming majority. I’d advise your government officials to prepare to stand on their own without the US , as it is a shit stain to be associated with anymore. Nazis are now federalized, Israel is buying our politicians and news outlets, with OUR tax dollars and a pedophile and his family is robbing us blind and sending it to the Saudis, who in return are trying to buy up Hollywood.

The lies are amplified, the truth is suppressed and facism is growing across the globe. This is not a doom post but instead a warning that the rest of the world eventually imitates the US, because of its influential powers. Get active and stay informed.

As an American, I say do it! I’m tired of watching Billions going to fund a bunch of ungrateful pricks and not being used at home. Pull out of Europe and nato entirely, Let Russia have a field day.
