Nor did these countries – or indeed any European nation – show solidarity with Britain during the 2018 soccer World Cup in Russia. As a result, no British minister or member of the royal family attended that year’s World Cup. In June 2018, as the World Cup was in progress, an Englishwoman named Dawn Sturgess found a discarded perfume bottle and sprayed it on herself. Two weeks later, president Emmanuel Macron flew to Moscow to watch France play Croatia in the final of the World Cup. It is highly improbable that any European nation will boycott America’s World Cup.
