Trump places massive taxes on every team that won money in the WC, in Spains case EUR 50 million. The world hates the thieving, warmongering, utterly corrupt USA

"FIFA has regularly secured tax exemptions from its host nations. Since then, South Africa, Brazil, Russia and Qatar had all granted tax relief covering FIFA and the teams tax implications. The US, however, does not appear to be following the same footsteps. The IRS’ tax playbook for the 2026 FIFA World Cup outlines that international athletes are subject to federal income tax “connected to services performed in the United States.”

"The distinction matters because Spain, like dozens of other countries, has a bilateral tax treaty with the United States specifically designed to prevent double taxation. Without these treaties, athletes could theoretically owe full tax bills in both countries."

So the USA is now a socialist country. That's good. People need to pay taxes.
