What’s the secret sauce at this World Cup. Why do all the refs look like Transformers?
World Cup in North America so they made them wear shoulder pads.
The people of Cape Verde do not look like how I expected. Wondering if that’s the African Islamic influence of Algeria? Genuinely no idea.
Time to go down another history rabbit hole for a country I can only sometimes confidently place on a map.
The length of this World Cup is starting to set in. As people have pointed out, we’re looking at a week turnaround between games for nations.
3 weeks of group stage games and every day is packed. I like it, it’s balanced. I can catch most games but I’m not overexposed.
@pon_wcup2026 This is a long standing joke in our country. You’ve tapped into “American culture you wouldn’t know about unless you lived here. Congratulations!
We can NEVER figure out someone else’s shower. They’re all different!
Life comes at you fast. I’m still in my 20s and feeling like death this morning after staying up for the South Korea vs Czechia game.
Will I be doing it again? Absolutely. Do I feel like death? Absolutely.
@ndersdumm1@_Zeets For the record they’re not that common over here either. FIFA added them during the club World Cup, but MLS only does them if it’s above 29C.
FIFA added them for the World Cup regardless of conditions.
Reading between the lines - 💸💸💸
@martynware@mjshrimper I’m only one person but from a US perspective. we do not want it either. FIFA handed down this shitty rule to us.
Half the reason I personally got into soccer was because of the lack of ad breaks because America sports drive me crazy due to that.
I love World Cup banter. The timeline is getting so fun. The global haters are gathering like the avengers.
In particular the English who are shitting on Americans is fun. Like pipe down, y’all are the Florida of Europe.
@owenthfc__@xAlexTHFC Idk man, it can’t be any worse than my official one from the club shop.
I barely wash it, and follow the care tags religiously and look at it.
For some unknown reason my head-canon is that Joao Neves is just a Jersey kid, trying to make his way in the world.
“I'm gonna give you to the count of ten, to get your ugly, yella, no-good keister off my property, before I pump your guts full of lead” - Neves to Arsenal
@park_footballer@FPLMaineRoad@congyiszizu That’s not objective at all lmao. Big 6 is a financial term.
It’s not a variable group of clubs, it’s 6 of the richest clubs who from 2010-2019 all finished top 6, 6/9 seasons.
I’m a Spurs fan who up until this season was a complete neutral on both Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest.
However, after the summer window nonsense, I’ve been the #1 Forest hater on this app.
Congrats to Crystal Palace. Loving watching the celebrations this week.
