‘Scaremongering’ lefties fall silent over US World Cup’s roaring success
Sky News host James Morrow claims the World Cup in America has been nothing short of a “roaring success” as fans from all over the globe flock to watch the game. “I want to cast your mind back to before the whole thing kicked off and we had ... scaremongers saying that it was going to be a complete disaster of an event,” he said. “But so far, it’s been nothing short of a roaring success and now that that is happening, seems like fewer people want to talk about it.
