US Legends Assure Travelling Soccer Fans That World Cup 2026 Will Be Safe As Long As You Don't Look Mexican, Aren't Too Ethnic, Aren't From Haiti And Are Very Wealthy

UNITED STATES - A collection of United States legends tasked by the US Soccer Federation and President Donald Trump stated that World Cup 2026 will be safe for travelling fans as long as you don’t look Mexican, aren’t too ethnic, aren’t from Haiti and are very wealthy.

“The United States is a welcoming cultural melting pot for anyone who has a net worth over 2 to 3 million dollars,” stated Alexi Lalas in a new promotional spot airing on European television stations. “If you fit the parameters of being wealthy and you don’t look Mexican, and you aren’t from Haiti, and you aren’t too ethnic…. we welcome you to World Cup 2026.”

Sources say that the effort to show that the United States was a welcoming country was directly targeted at the recent negative publicity of the United States forcibly incarcerating and deporting anyone who looks Mexican, is poor, or just might be questionably ethnic enough for being detained before they put you back on a rural road 2 miles from the city center and keep the cash that was in your wallet.

“World Cup 2026 is going to be a blast, provided you meet the qualifications for entry and can afford to travel and stay here and purchase the visas and purchase the unaffordable tickets and don’t get picked up by ICE and get disappeared somewhere,” stated one US Soccer representative.

General Managers Announce Plan To Step Back And Let Coaches Take The Blame This Offseason

General Managers of soccer teams across the nation announced their plan, today, to step back and let coaches take the blame as the Major League Soccer offseason began with a flurry.

“It’s important to differentiate between the poor effort you see every week and the work that I do which is largely misunderstood by the vast amount of fans out there,” stated one General Manager who has been with his team for 10 years. “I think that the next coach we hire this season will understand the players he is taking on from poor ownership, bad trades and terrible contracts over the years.”

Sources say that fans did their part as they immediately took to social media to blame the coach and the players for their poor play and the end of the season.

“The only way out of this is to fire the coach that has been here for 2 years,” stated one fan.

“Frankly I think that our players didn’t perform up to specifications for the 5th year in a row,” stated one fan. “However, I think that the coach has a lot to do with that. We should probably give this general manager who hasn’t won a single thing in his entire lifetime another 5 or 10 years to try to get it together.”

Sources say that supporters groups joined the fray as eliminated groups clamored for the ownership groups to fire the manager and buy new players.

“No one knows anything about what our GM does, and I see our coach trying and failing every week so he needs to go,” stated one Supporters Group member.
