Gianni Infantino, 2025: "It’s important to clarify this. There is a lot of misconception out there. Everyone will be welcome in Canada, Mexico and the United States for the FIFA World Cup next year."
FIFA today: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 👉 🇺🇸

ok so I don't know much about football or about this ollie watkins guy, but if other people in my team were described as "goal machine" and "lightning quick" and I got "MUSIC LOVER" I'd be mad as hell
@mcwfcflops With a two-legged tie I see no reason to be realistically concerned. blah blah anything can happen but if we're in such a state we can't manage these games then we might as well take a tournament off to burn the team to the ground and start again.
@lisa03865019 1: Plenty of wonderful British dishes
2: The second we cite things like chicken tikka masala, suddenly they act like cuisine by people raised in Britain isn't British, which is a truly wild take from Americans valourising their own cuisine
@OnyeKachiki@emtalksfootball 1: It's a shitpost joke dumbass
2: It's stupid to put the reigning WC and Euros champions in the same qualifying group
3: The reason is the Nations League format which cares nothing for FIFA rankings or tournament results, and only how well a team did last Nations League.
@emtalksfootball It's misogyny, UEFA don't make the men go through this Nations League nonsense for their WC qualifiers. They just hate women and want them to suffer through this, particularly me.
@kivraw Yeah I'm not falling for this catastrophising, "is it the end for Wiegman" until or unless we get an actual shitty outcome like not qualifying or being grouped.
I'd say "oh maybe this will force things to shake up" but I've seen the script, our between-tournament hijinks are always the most excruciating bullshit
Also unfortunately I am going to have to hope Spain win the World Cup because that's better than the realistic alternative.
oh wait, no, Brazil exist, I take it back
