Might as well start a thread.
Poorly written article. 48 teams instead of 32. How many teams make the knockout out of 12 groups? 32? Not having that information is a major miss by the writer and editor. I know people are busy but the editor must not have edited it. He/she lied if he/she said he/she did. It is almost fireable because if you don’t think that needs to in there or the thought to not include it is not there, probably should have a different job as the same thing will happen with the next article.
I love the fact that possibly more teams will get through on fifa ridiculous tiebreaker rules. Maybe not since we don’t know how many make the knockout.
It’s there but you have to search for it.
It will consist of 12 groups of four teams each…
…the top two nations in each group will go through to the knockout round along with the eight best third-placed sides
So yes, 32 in the knockout round.
Ok. Good thing I’m not the editor! Maybe usa can make the knockout round.
would be a surprise if they dont… being the host means easy draw and referee benefits

Ted lasso season 3 started today.
Roy is my favorite.
FIFA has become the F’d up Islamic Football Association.
You are of course correct. Saudi is a country where Jews can’t express their faith in public and you posted about the record heat there killing so many people despite watering stations and air conditioning tents. Saudi had diplomatic relations with that despot Assad who just fled Syria and they torture their own citizens. Remember drinking in Saudi leads to public whippings by the police.
Not to mention murdering and dismembering Jamal Khashoggi in Turkiye. MBS is a POS.
Yes that was real gruesome and hard core evil.
Well, the lead up to the 2026 FIFA (Fucking Islamic Football Assholes) World Cup has begun. Germany just lost to Slovakia. I have no idea who will win. I will try not to care.
God, I so hope they don’t qualify.
Why? You loved them in the past.
Since Ösil showed his true turkish face and showed he was just a german pass port holder to achieve his goals, I don’t identify with many players anymore. Rüdiger is just another example. Those aren’t the people and values I want my country or me represented by.
hate and stop supporting your country because of some people in it, at least its consistent with your other opinions

Yes but Lithuania had people cheering for it to win. I would have been so happy if Lithuania had beaten Oranje. About 7.5 billion out of the 8 billion on earth would have had a different reaction if Israel had beaten Italy.
It’s bad when people are rooting for Italy.
