US President Donald Trump has taken center stage at the 2026 FIFA World Cup draw, prompting fans to quickly identify the event as “cringeworthy” and awkward.
On Friday, what was meant to be a celebration of the 47-team tournament across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, turned into, what critics called, an over-the-top display dominated by Trump and FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
Infantino faced widespread criticism for his conduct, particularly for awarding Trump a newly created FIFA “Peace Prize.”
The move sparked raucous debate among social media frequenters, was widely seen as pandering, and, according to numerous observers, marked the moment the internationally anticipated event went off kilter.
“The World Cup draw. It’s making me cringe,” one fan tweeted, blasting Infantino for using the heavily-televised event to gratify Trump. “It’s sickening.”
Another wrote, “The completely made-up ‘Peace Prize’ just to appease Donald Trump is right up there. I genuinely cannot watch it.”.....more here
