The article discusses Cristiano Ronaldo's sudden interest in returning to the United States, which would provide Fifa with a valuable publicity opportunity. However, the author raises concerns about the safety of hosting the World Cup in the US, citing the country's high rates of gun violence. The article notes that an average of 127 people, many of them young and disproportionately black, are killed by guns in the US every day. While Ronaldo's involvement could be a "World Cup Trump card" for Fifa, the author suggests that the extreme gun violence in the US may make it an unsuitable host for the tournament.
