Never going to happen. And a lot of fans have probably already spent thousands on their trips.

Someone needs to make a stand though, its going to be sickening. I wonder how bad Trump's very clear dementia will be by the summer.

Is it more "very clear" than Joseph Biden"s?

Seeing growing calls for the England national team to boycott the Trump Glorification Cup in the summer among politicians and in the media. I’m sure other European countries affected by his tariffs and bullying will strongly consider this as well - can’t imagine Denmark going if they qualify, for instance, and other Nordic nations would likely support them.

I say everyone should absolutely boycott it. Football is not so important in the grand scheme of things, but this is actually a type of message that would get through to Trump - a threat by most Western European nations to pull of the World Cup would be potentially more effective than withholding economic or military cooperation, which he doesn’t care about anyway. Hit him where it hurts - denying him the chance at self-aggrandizement.

Did these European countries have tariffs on American goods beforehand?

One of my closest friends invited me to LA to DJ at the anniversary of his wife, all expenses covered. But there is no chance of me visiting the US as it is now. And I have been all over the US, enjoying it a lot/

There are also opportunities for visiting scholarships coming up, but no. I thiink te ICE activities are what was the final decider. They murdered that innocent woman. A US citizen, who posed no threat.
It’s like the nazi SA.

Do you mean the woman who drove her car into the officer?
 
I read the "Football Forum" for, you know, football.

It shocking to read lads with really good knowledge and insight of our sport demonstrating that they've fallen for the radical left's propaganda.

I'll read someone blathering on about that nasty climate change and how terrible Co2 is next.

What's your background Billy? If you're getting into the whole "Left vs Right" world of black & white with no nuance inbetween, and think "left bad" "right good" you are possibly a) beyond help and b) not in the right community given the history and background of the city, the people and the football club this forum is dedicated to

Today's left has deviated dramatically since Shanks' words. Surely you have noticed this?

I'm not in the right community? I'm from Liverpool. Are you asking me to leave this site?

Different opinion scary?

Thanks. Why is President Trump not fit for office? Can you use specific and verifiable examples that are proven rather than parrott ing propaganda please.

He's been impeached twice for Abuse of Power and Inciting and Insurrection for starters. He is also mentally unwell and has refused.

He is 79, far too old to be in a position of power. Same as Biden was. He is suffering from a wealth of diseases that infliect people when they reach such an old age.

He has a raft of criminal charges against him, that he is using political power to suppress.

He is linked incredibly strongly and widely to human sex traffiker and rapist Jeffrey Epstein, links that he is also abusing power to suppress and redact as we watch the files slowly get released then deleted.

Need I go on, Billy?

But a boycott of a big tournament like that is a political statement, and there needs to be a big reason for that.

An invasion of Greenland would obviously be such a thing, but that's unlikely.

Remove that, and what actual grounds for a boycott are there?

Honestly, does no one give a shit that the USA went into a country and kidnapped their president and then stole their resources?

People keep talking about Greenland and they haven't invaded yet, so hold your horses.
But they did jump in kill a bunch of people and picked up the president of a sovereign nation.

Does that not count for anything anymore?

Yeah, before Trump they were at historic lows, was averaged somewhere between 1 and 2%, now it's a little less. US tarrifs on EU went from similar 1-2%, now up to 10-15%. They were both broadly equal before, with obvious differences in industries, now, not so much.

I agree, but I mean, it's not the first regime change they've attempted or done.

I don't know enough about the situation to strongly argue it, to be honest, but if he actually is guilty of what he is being accused of, what should the US reasonably do about that?

You completely missed the "proven" part, Brizzle.

Have you actually looked closely at the "impeachments" and the "criminal" cases that materialized when he announced himself as a candidate?

You haven't. Unfortunately, you believe what you're told to believe.

Ask yourself this, why did the democrats not release proof of the President and Epstien during their 4 years occupying the WH?
 
Why are you here @Billy Dane? You are a new poster, and you only seem to have dropped into a few threads and started arguments with posters.

We're a great community here, but we aren't afraid to call a cunt a cunt.

Because I'm a lifelong Liverpool supporter from Liverpool.

Call me what you want if it makes you happy.

Does critical thinking and questioning make a person the C word, in your book?

Where did you get this from? There's a 15% tariff on US goods coming to Europe and 50% on steel is there not?

Something like that for steel, but lots of allowances and quotas, same in a bunch of other verticals. The effective weighted average rate is what I said above, there will be some industries that it impacts way more than others. But the general trend is that it's more expensive to buy EU products in the US now, but not to buy US products in the EU.

Isn't it pretty much reciprocal when factoring in EU VAT vs much lower US sales tax? Admittedly, this is not my area of expertise.

Vat and sales tax are different tough, they apply to all goods regardless of origin.

It was reciprocal before Trump got involved.
 
FWIW @kerlon10 has asked me to delete their account. I’ll do that after giving them some time to change their mind.

Play nicely please
