Amazing that they didn't include that in the list of no no combos.

Can't have two super cold countries in one group, or force Iceland to travel too far, but a literal genocider - genocidee pairing?

Is there an actual blocklist of country combinations? That seems like it’d be unfair.

iirc Spain only agreed to not block Gibraltar from being in UEFA if they got an agreement not to play them, since the Spanish government considers the territory True Spanish Clay or whatever (do not ask about Ceuta, which is also Spanish Clay)

the rest are legitimately unsafe but that one is just the inherent piss-baby nature of the platonic spaniard

The logo is not bad but those mascots can’t be true. A moose wearing a hockey jersey is a mascot for the WC? A cactus in cowboy boots? A literal Uncle Sam?

all world cup mascots should be quasi-racist caricatures from a 1930s political cartoon

for a six-figure sum i will draw a frenchman with a beret and baguettes in his pockets, or a polish submarine

Eh...they're fine, which is about all you can ask for from non-Japanese mascots.

I mean look at what happened the last time the US had a run of hosting major worldwide sporting events: we ended up with whatever the hell that thing was in the Atlanta Olympics.

The Sombrero is Mexico, tail as old as time. I'm amazed it hasn't got maracas or a taco.

Not surprisingly, Mexico's World Cup mascot in 1970 also wore a sombrero

Wales are in very early stage talks with UEFA and FIFA about changing their name internationally from Wales to Cymru. Looking for after Qatar, so maybe Euro 24 or Nations League at the earliest?
