The story is even wilder when you take a look at who the Trump envoy to Italy is.
He’s the one who introduced Melania to Trump. He’s heavily implicated in the Epstein files. He had Epstein traffic a 17 year old girl to be his wife…
HE CALLED ICE TO DEPORT HIS OWN WIFE (the same one who was trafficked by Epstein and the mother of his children).
Wow, thanks for that information.
Source on that?

First two paragraphs have the Trump connection and the ICE deporting his wife thing. The last 3 paragraphs covers his Epstein connection and the trafficking of his teen wife.
Politics aside, 4 time winner Italy failing to qualify for the third time (and this time was the easiest so far) is really funny and I don’t mind seeing it continue.
If Italy accepts they will be made fun of for the next 50 years.
“oh does little Bambitalia need a free pass for futbul?”
I would surprised and dismayed if Italy accepted such an offer. They didn’t make qualification, just like a lot of other countries, so they should not even consider such an offer. If the host country finds itself unable to fulfil their hosting duties then they should hang their heads in shame and never be selected to host again.
It would be pretty shit of FIFA not to simply put all of Iran’s games in Mexico or Canada. Why should a qualified team miss out just because one of the host countries is run by a bunch of useless cunts?
Italy’s DT already cried foul that South America has 6 slots while they had to go to the wildcard. They would take the free pass 100%, IMO.
On brand for a president who gets participation trophies to give a team that didn’t qualify for the World Cup a participation trip to the World Cup.
USA should be banned from organazing World Cup. I have read somwhere that they plan “half-time show”!!! This isn’t NFL!! Winning World Cup is much more important than some music show in half time. I guess now I know why Americans don’t understand Football.
Yeah, if they were serious they’d get Millwall in.
A world cup with 48 teams, where fucking Curacao qualified. If you get invited because the president of the host country started a war with one of the participants, you cannot accept. That is shame you will never recover from.
There is an easy fix. The host qualifies automatically. So just replace the US with Italy and we are done.
If Italy goes in, then this WC is just a farce.
The wc has been farce for quite some time. Last one was held under heavy slavery criticism of Qatar. 2034 is going to be held in Saudi Arabia.
Top football players are also soulless egotistical gold diggers without any class.
Fuck em’ all to irrelevance.
You still think the WC is not a farce?
They give out peace prizes when they should be giving out Academy Awards.
True. 48 teams was already a farce in my book.
If FIFA accepts this they can never, ever claim again they are an apolitical organization. Although they probably already can’t after the FIFA Peace (of shit) prize anyway?
Luckily, Johnny Baby, like all past presidents of FIFA, is a man of integrity.
Italy has struck out in the last 3 world cups
TIL.
Now that’s tegrity!
An I for an I.
