What if you’re just a soccer fan from Jamaica? What could go wrong? Donald Trump has threatened the World Cup co-hosts: he has discussed making Canada the 51st state and sending US soldiers to Mexico to attack drug cartels. Meanwhile, Fifa’s avarice has been on full display in prices for tickets, parking, and demands upon cities. And it’s giving aspiring grifters a license to fleece. But what if you’re just a soccer fan from Jamaica? What could go wrong?

LYRICS
FIFA World Cup, here we go
Maybe not, maybe no
FIFA World Cup, take it slow
They might skip your bag and scan your soul
Packed my scarf for the Cup
Booked a room for the match
Then the group chat went off
Like, “Bro, maybe not that”
Printed out my whole life
Lawyer’s been retained
Now my passport looks nervous
When it hears “U.S.A”
Auntie said, “Read the flyer”
Cousin said, “Read it twice”
If they ask why the visit
Say “sports,” then act nice
Got a warning in my hand
Got a warning in my brain
Got a warning on my screen
I just might go insane
They said “Be ready for a search.”
Then they said “Plan for delay.”
Where you will end up
For sure no one can say. Hey hey
FIFA World Cup, here we go
Maybe not, maybe no
FIFA World Cup, take it slow
They might skip your bag and scan your soul
Detained, searched, then “next!”
Deported with a snack and stress
FIFA World Cup, what a show
Better love the game from far away (oh no)
I came for kicks and whistles
Not a full-body scan
But the warning emails got me
They might think I’m from Iran
If the line gets extra serious
I’ll be serious too
I’ll watch it on my phone screen
From a safer point of view
FIFA World Cup, here we go
Maybe not, maybe no
FIFA World Cup, take it slow
They might skip your bag and scan your soul
FIFA World Cup, what a show
I love the game from far away (oh no)
