6. Coming from a soccer loving family 3 kids at high school level

This is a world they should not have f’d with. Soccer tended to be a club sport hard to afford (let’s say 2005-2015). Very hard for us to afford. Much time and financial sacrifice. Fees travel time etc. There is a generation of kids I would say? 8-grown adults??? That absolutely love soccer. And a lot of them are upper income. Had to pay money for club fees and travel to learn and train and make high school teams few scholarship opportunities in the club world. There are many many Americans that will be pissed off. The parents grew to love soccer as much as the kids. World Cup? Being policed and politicized? When all these fans could actually see that upper level of soccer? Not a good move for FIFA. Or the administration.
