From what I've learned watching street food shows, Mexico probably already has some drink with Budweiser and bacon plus some extras like chili peppers, Doritos, gummy bears and whipped cream. It's also deep fried somehow and covered in mayo and cheese sauce and tastes amazing.

When I lived in the Middle East a hamburger was nowhere to be found. A beefburger was quite ubiquitous though.

Should hand the armbands out to every coach, manager, advisor, doctor and every other support team member standing on the sidelines. They're not in the field of play so it shouldn't be a problem according to FIFA

This and this

All 11 players should wear the armband instead. Force the ref to book 11 players before the match has even kicked off.

Sod trying to win this tournament, let's just turn it into a total farce instead.

It's what it deserves.

combined would be hilarious. Matches starting late bc of having to hand out 40+ yellow cards, matches getting abandoned after teams being down to six men... A 200bn hommage to the Claypole vs Victoriano Arenas match :swoon:

Kid's blasting everything in sight with that new-fangled musket.


Genuinely think there should be a baseline requirement of qualification for previous tournaments for prospective hosts.

Like you can't bid to host the World Cup if you haven't qualified for three out of the previous five, something like that.

I get all the arguments for "growing the game" and all that, but it makes more sense to have the World Cup in a country where there's already decent football infrastructure.

I'm somewhat surprised how little resistance FIFA has offered thus far. I mean you'd think they'd find at least one symbolic issue to push back on PR but they give even less of a poo poo than I thought.

They give zero shits, what is anyone gonna do? Not broadcast the World Cup? Not send teams to the main reason for national teams existing? They aren't even pushing back on the sponsor bits because is Budweiser actually going to give up being the sole beer available at one of the biggest sporting events in the world just because they weren't at one?

Apparently Budweiser is going to take a 75m loss on beer sales and sue FIFA for it so it will be interesting to see what happens then, but yeah FIFA can’t and won’t do anything at this point, which is exactly why Qatar waited until the week before the start to start springing poo poo on them.
