Denmark Fans Tipped to Snub Travelling to USA For 2026 World Cup

Published

on


Supporters of one nation are now expected to refuse to travel to the USA for the 2026 World Cup amid talks of boycotting Donald Trump’s country. The US will co-host this summer’s tournament along with Canada and Mexico, but it continues to be America’s tense political climate that poses the most issues for those wishing to fly out to the showpiece event.

Fans from four qualified nations are currently banned outright from entering the US for the tournament, with Iran, Haiti, Senegal and Ivory Coast under full or partial travel bans. Meanwhile, there have already been talks among several nations about boycotting the event, including The Netherlands, Germany and Spain, for various reasons.

Despite other immigration-related sanctions on other countries, including the suspension of immigrant visa processing, fans from all other countries are, at least as things stand, able to attend all World Cup matches. But that doesn’t mean everyone feels safe making the journey across the Atlantic, nor does it mean they won’t take a stand against the Trump administration as it continues to burn bridges with Europe.

2026 World Cup: 8 Nations Told to Consider Boycotting Amid Donald Trump’s Actions

Donald Trump has already caused chaos and uncertainty around the World Cup – and now eight major nations have been told to boycott.

Denmark Fans Could Boycott USA During 2026 World Cup

Some fan groups have already declared they are boycotting the World Cup, with England’s official LGBTQ+ group, Three Lions Pride, announcing earlier this month that they would not attend due to safety concerns in the US. Should Denmark qualify through the playoffs, then their fans could follow suit.

That’s according to Anja Lilli Beikes, who is a board member of the Danish Football Fan Federation (DFF), the official supporters’ association of Denmark. Speaking to The Telegraph, Beikes has suggested that “not many” Danish fans will attend matches in the United States due to current geopolitical tensions surrounding US President Donald Trump and Greenland. Beikes explains:

“The US is very unpopular in Denmark at the moment. During the last year, Danish travel companies experienced a huge fall in the sale of trips to the US.

“Lots of football fans are discussing whether Denmark should actually boycott the World Cup because FIFA is also enormously unpopular in Denmark. Honestly – and this is my personal opinion – I do not think that many Danish fans will come to the World Cup if we qualify.”

They continued: “Some fans would maybe travel to the two matches in Mexico but I do not think we will see many Danish fans in the US. I, and some of my fellow fans, actually think it would probably be better not to qualify.”

Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, and has been for hundreds of years. But Trump has repeatedly said in recent weeks that he wants the US to take control of the territory, even if it took “excessive force.”

But after talks with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte last week, he appeared to soften that position, along with his plans to impose tariffs on eight European nations – including Denmark, France, Germany and the UK – that opposed his stance.

Denmark’s 2026 World Cup Qualification Path

Denmark must come through the UEFA play-offs to qualify for the World Cup after losing top spot in their qualifying group, courtesy of a memorable 4-2 defeat to Scotland on the final day of their campaign. Should they progress through the play-offs, with their semi-final against North Macedonia taking place on March 26, they will be drawn into Group A alongside Mexico, South Africa and South Korea.

Denmark would only have to play one group match in the United States, with their other games taking place in Mexico. However, their round of 32 tie – unless they win the group – would be played in the US if they reach that stage. Given their long-standing reputation as underdogs who perform well in major tournaments, they are expected to at least make it that far.

Everton Eyeing Move to Sign Arsenal Star Gabriel Jesus

Everton are eyeing a deal to sign an Arsenal star alongside Ben White to bolster their squad this summer for David Moyes, according to Football Insider.

The Toffees had a mixed campaign this season as they finished 13th in the Premier League, earning just one point more than they earned in the previous campaign, and now the manager is keen to strengthen his squad to start climbing the table and competing for Europe.

One position that has been earmarked as a priority is striker, with Beto and Thierno Barry both having frustrating seasons at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, and Moyes is looking at a long-term target to fill the void.

Everton Eyeing Gabriel Jesus Deal

According to the report, Everton have identified Brazil international Gabriel Jesus as a target to bolster their attack.

Jesus, who currently earns £265,000-a-week at the Emirates Stadium, returned from a serious knee injury this season to help the Gunners earn their first Premier League title in 22 years, but often found himself as a third-choice striker behind Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz.

The 29-year-old is now in the final year of his contract, and it has been reported that Arsenal are ready to let him leave. However, they have put a £20m asking price on his head, and are ready to keep him beyond this summer if nobody matches the price.

As it stands, Everton are not keen to pay that much due to his injury problems and age, but they are interested in getting a deal done. Another hurdle to any transfer would be his mammoth wages, with Everton unable to pay anywhere near what he currently earns.

Juventus, AC Milan, and Brazilian side Palmeiras are all showing an interest in Jesus too, but they also have similar issues to Everton in getting a deal done, which means this is a move that may happen later in the window if people’s circumstances change.

Everton Need Reliable Goals

Jesus is someone who is a proven winner, having lifted the Premier League title on five occasions in his career, and he knows where the back of the net is.

In recent years injuries have troubled him, but there’s no doubting that he would bring a higher level of talent and quality to the Toffees squad if he joined, and he’d be a great mentor for a young striker like Barry to learn from.

If Moyes can get the club to find an agreement on finances, then this could be a shrewd bit of business for the new season, and it could be the difference between European football next season, or another year of languishing in the middle of the table.

Scotland Fans ‘Heartbroken’ as 2026 World Cup Travel Permits Withdrawn

Published

Fans of a 2026 World Cup nation have been left devastated and ‘heartbroken’ as last-minute changes to travel permits threaten to prevent them reaching North America this summer.

There’s now less than a week to go before this summer’s showpiece international tournament gets underway. Joint-hosts Mexico welcome South Africa to the iconic Estadio Azteca on June 11.

A record 104 matches will be played over the coming weeks, culminating in the 2026 World Cup final at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 19.

Fans Impacted by Late ESTA Status Change

The build-up to this year’s World Cup has been overshadowed by various controversial talking points, including potential travel visas impacting various countries.

Scotland were not among the countries expected to be affected. However, some fans from the British nation have been impacted days before the tournament begins.

UK citizens wishing to go to the United States for up to 90 days without a visa must apply to the country’s Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA).

But dozens of supporters who filled out the form say their application status changed from “approved” to “travel not authorized” this week.

Impacted fans have told BBC Scotland News that they now stand to lose thousands of pounds in travel costs due to the changes.

One of those fans is 43-year-old Scott Braid, who was due to fly to Boston on June 12 with his wife and two children.

He booked the “once-in-a-lifetime trip” after his ESTA application was approved, but a late change has left his travel plans in severe jeopardy.

“Out of the blue on Tuesday, I got an email that said there’s been an update on your ESTA status,” Scott, who travelled to America in 2023 with no issues, told the BBC. “Since I’ve done that ESTA there’s been absolutely no changes to my circumstances.

“That’s the frustrating thing, not knowing why this has happened.”

Scott has encouraged his family to press ahead with the trip in the hope he will be able to join them during the tournament after securing a visa appointment in Belfast next week.

Brothers Andrew and Nelson Speirs find themselves in a similar situation and have also arranged an appointment at the US consulate in Belfast next week after their ESTA status changed unexpectedly.

Their ESTAs were initially approved on December 15 and remained that way until June 3, when the system updated and revealed they were no longer permitted to travel.

“It’s not given us very much time to do anything about it,” Nelson, who has spent a combined £10,000 on the trip alongside his brother, told BBC Scotland News.

“I don’t think it’s fair, they shouldn’t authorise somebody to go then take it back. We didn’t book anything until we were authorised.”

Booked as part of a trip for Andrew’s 40th birthday celebration, Nelson says the news has left him “heartbroken”.

Scotland begin their 2026 World Cup campaign against Haiti on June 13 before taking on Morocco five days later. They wrap up Group C with a mouth-watering clash against Brazil on June 24.

Adam22 Left Annoyed With Wife’s Comment Before Jason Luv Fight

Published

If you think you’ve had a bad 2026 so far, spare a thought for YouTuber and podcaster Adam22, who has almost undoubtedly had a worse year.

Firstly, the 42-year-old stepped into the boxing ring back in January to take on adult film star Jason Luv, in the hope that, once and for all, they could squash their beef that has been going on for years now.

The beef started when Luv worked with Adam22’s wife, Lena the Plug, more on her later, and although it was strictly professional, comments that the former made after the collaboration didn’t sit well with Adam22, who then blacklisted him from working with his wife in future.

However, that didn’t happen, as Lana then did work with Luv once more, leading to the pair settling their differences inside the ropes.

Jason Luv Knocks Out Adam22

So, as a lot of influencers tend to do these days, Adam22 and Luv looked to settle the score in the boxing ring, on a show hosted by fellow streamer Adin Ross. And, well, the fight went exactly as many would’ve thought.

There was really no quality on show, and for Adam22, he spent most of the round with his back turned to his opponent and simply running away from him. Eventually, after being caught by one too many punches, he dropped to his knees, with the referee stepping in and waving off the contest. Luv had got the job done in the very first round with minimal fuss.

Speaking after the fight, Adam22 was adamant that he was still the winner in life despite the result, mainly because, in his words, he had the girl, but Lena still did her best to humiliate her husband with her own post-fight comments, claiming Luv was better in bed than he was in the ring.

It wasn’t just after the fight Lena The Plug was issuing humiliating comments either. She did so in the build-up to the fight as well during the pre-fight press conference.

No wonder the pair are getting divorced…

When asked for her thoughts about her husband’s fight against a man she’s bedded twice, Lena said: “Jason is a very large man, large in many ways, but they’re pretty comparable in size when you put them right next to each other.”

Understandably, Adam22 looked rather confused and especially annoyed at his wife’s remarks, before going on to defend his own size by claiming he’s actually bigger than Luv.

So, although he probably made a fair chunk of money from the fight, Adam22 was humiliated before, during, and after.

Lena the Plug & Adam22 Get Divorced

Now, fast forward to June, just five months after the fight, Adam22 has also lost the girl, it would seem, as it has been widely reported that she’s filed for a divorce, putting an end to their marriage.

Jason Luv has reacted to the news that Adam22 and his wife Lena the Plug are getting a divorce, just months after knocking him out.

Not only has Lena filed for divorce, she’s also seeking full custody of the pair’s five-year-old child. According to legal paperwork seen by TMZ, she has also claimed to be unemployed and living solely off the $3,000 per month that Adam pays her in spousal support.

Lena is also demanding half of Adam’s recording studio, believed to be worth in excess of $1.1 million. The pair officially separated in mid-April after three years of marriage.
