So the #WorldCup might have more teams from a single country, the #UK ( #Scotland & #England have qualified, #Wales still can get in) than all of #EastAsia, #SEAsia & #SouthAsia, which have 2 teams combined ( #Japan and #SouthKorea).
Why is this such a big deal in #Asia when its obvious the tournament is rigged to favor certain regions, and couldn't care less about most of the continent?
The path to glory at the 2026 World Cup has now been laid out with FIFA on Saturday confirming the full match schedule for its first 48-team tournament. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/12/07/soccer/world-cup/world-cup-schedule/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #soccer #worldcup #2026fifaworldcup #samuraiblue #us #canada #mexico #gianniinfantino #donaldtrump

Some Norwegian adult boys outside are loudly expressing their emotions in the only way they feel comfortable doing (in response to the result of a football game they have just watched).
Gooooooo football! ⚽
If you're thinking of coming to the United States for next year's #WorldCup... just... don't.
And this is coming from me, a USian who lives a half hour from where they're playing the Final.
Even if the team you want to see is playing in the States, go stay in Canada or Mexico instead. I guarantee you'll have a better time.
If FIFA awards #Trump this “peace prize,” then…uggghhhh!!! This is so bizarre! Especially for a sporting event!

Heureusement qu'il y'a Eric Cantona « Quatre jours après le début de la guerre en Ukraine, la FIFA et l’UEFA ont suspendu la Russie. Nous en sommes maintenant à 716 jours de ce qu’Amnesty International a qualifié de génocide. Et pourtant, Israël continue d’être autorisé à participer. Pourquoi ces doubles standards ? »

What kind of posts do you miss when you're on the Fediverse?
It's not a shock that a lot of people who join the Fediverse struggle to find posts about things they care about. But for established Fedi-veterans, it's harder to know what is still missing.
Please let us know what you miss and if you have any idea on how the Fediverse could patch the gap in the comments!
