It’s only a football prize, so in some ways quite insulting?

The memes going around are hilarious. People making up their own “Peace Prizes” and posting photos on social media.

Grovelling flattery of a stupid man, Grade 1.

Sports giving prizes to buy influence with the powerful is of course a genius idea. :smiley:

Trump should immediately be awarded the All-England Netball Association Prize for Creative Needlework, the MĂ©daille d’Or of the FĂ©dĂ©ration Française de PĂ©tanque et Jeu Provençal for most time spent sleeping in Cabinet meetings, and the Lebanese Taekwando Association Award for Best Combover worn by a Foreign Competitor.

So this is something that FIFA has invented just for the Orange One? It’s pretty nauseating and sycophantic even if it’s a consolation prize.

Meanwhile he’s bombing boats off the coast of Venezuela. Very peaceful. :confused:

Pretty much yes. Supposedly it’s the “inaugural award” in an ongoing series but I bet it gets quietly forgotten next time.

Hmm. Aren’t footballers meant to be, err, playing football rather than being peace ambassadors?

I don’t think any actual footballers were harmed in the making of this Prize - I imagine it was concocted by the FIFA bigwigs entirely to curry favour with the Tangerine Buffoon.

Accepting the award, Trump called it “one of the great honours of my life”, He is definitely Dagenham Dock

As well as a lot of other despicable things. The most alarming thing for me is how millions of Americans voted for him, and still love him when it is plain to see what he is, and has been all his life. The Americans used to brainwash their children to hate Russians because of the threat to democracy they represent. Now the threat comes from Trump, and his bromance with Putin.

Here’s a squardle covering Trump and FIFA (sorry, can’t supply a link to an actual solveable puzzle).

I’m surprised to see Infantino. He is normally wedged way up in Trump’s arsehole.

Biggest load of rubbish I ever heard. Infantino sucking up to Trump. He should be referred to as the ‘infant’. After the draw yesterday, and another boring one today showing locations

I have had enough and will watch none of it

This is not a peace award, it’s appeasement to ensure that Trump doesn’t ban any teams or players from entering the USA.

I cant think of anyone less deserving of a prize of any description let alone peace and I find it nauseating that football has just joined the line of sycophants toadying up to this vile man.
