World Cup 2026

I mean you can be incompetent at hiding it like 2022 and not even bothering to hide it like 2026

I think Trump taught us that trying to hide corruption is taking valuable energy away from the acts of corruption.  I'm sure he and Infantino are not just talking about world peace and soccer when they chat.

I hated it and now absolutely love this in this World Cup. They keep cutting to American sports celebrities and there's just awkward silence - totally dead air - because the commentators have no idea who it is, then ten seconds later when the camera's back on the pitch someone's clearly given them a note and they'll say "that was x, from the NFL, here to watch the game".

Annoyed me to start with, but now just quite funny.

Said it before, but I hate penalties. Should just keep playing 15 minute increments until someone wins.

[crazy canuck]

Yeah, hard way to lose

[HVC]

Yeah, hard way to lose

That plus it keeps teams from going full turtle.

Haha yeah I've seen that one. My instagram stories are all now hating on Argentina. The algorithm is good at showing people what they want, I'll give them that
