Since people keep getting surprised, here's the number of slots per confederation for 2026

UEFA (Europe) | 16
CAF (Africa) | 9
AFC (Asia) | 8
CONCACAF (North America, Central America, and the Caribbean) | 6
CONMEBOL (South America) | 6
OFC (Oceania) | 1


Plus there will be a mini tournament for the last 2 slots. The mini tournament will have 1 team from Africa, one from Asia, one from Oceania, one from South America and 2 from CONCACAF

I didn't really think about this until just now but 48 / 195 means just over a quarter of the world's countries will be going to the world cup

e: a bit more or less according to your definition of country, 195 was simply the first result in encyclopedia googlia

The Emir gloated on Twitter about kicking out fans with rainbow gear.

What a loving trash regime. I can actually say that The Nazi Party 1936 had more tact.

There was a British Isles bid planned for 2030, but they withdrew once 2028 looked like a better bet.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

If people haven't listened to the World Corrupt podcast hosted by Pod Save the World, they really should.

Why do I bring this up? Well I didn't know until the podcast that back in 2010 when Qatar was selected, Obama and Biden couldn't go so they sent Attorney General Eric Holder and a small staff from the Justice Department to the ExCo meeting. The justice department reps, including a guy who had worked on organized crime in NJ, witness the blatant bribery by Qatar officials and barely concealed requests for bribes.

Then the loving morons at FIFA decided to keep their money in American banks. Apparently Eric Holder was extremely motivated to go after them after the 2010 meeting.
