Article 15(c): “Member associations' statutes must comply with the principles of good governance, and shall in particular contain, at a minimum, make provisions relating to the independence of the member association and avoidance of any form of political interference.”

let's see how uefa responds

This might be the shittiest World Cup in like 80 years. Is any international fan that doesn’t have a punisher sticker on the back of their truck going to travel to the US?

 

Not to mention the complete control of FIFA by the petro states. International soccer and America are fucking shambles right now.

I keep thinking of the World Cup as our answer to the 1936 Summer Olympics.

I would like to see us get our asses handed to us.

Not to mention half the fans trying to attend will end up in Cuba.

(qualifier topic) Lichtenstein v. N Macedonia, announcers mentioned most of the Lichtenstein players aren't full time professional players.  N Macedonia dominating.

Yeah…Liechtenstein getting outclassed. But dude, their stadium is nestled up against the Alps at the headwaters of the Rhine. Life for them doesn’t suck.

Between prices, the expanded format and current political climate (our VP was just cracking jokes about deporting World Cup visitors if they stay too long) this WC is gonna be a shitshow.

Yep. After the one in Japan/Korea, FIFA came to their senses and decided to never ever do another World Cup that spanned borders. Now they have lost their senses again, and in this climate it will be a disaster.

Just saw that I reposted this 11 years ago in anticipation of Brazil 🇧🇷 2014 (which Argentina 🇦🇷 should have won after eliminating The Netherlands 🇳🇱 in the knockout rounds, but Higuaín started a 3 year run of failure in Finals matches).

Et tu Higuaín!

No matter how shit our Golden Generation play (I used British vernacular for effect), there will be other countries who will feel unbridled joy.

This should be the World Cup song for every tournament.


PS- The original song was dark, yet hopeful… Coca-Cola paid him handsomely to change the lyrics for the World Cup in South Africa and that created this gem.

fifa announce dynamic pricing for next summer

https://originalfootball.substack.com/p/the-price-of-passion-fifas-dynamic


Not girding shit and won’t go to a single match. 

I’m much more likely to go to a match in Spain/ Portugal/ Morocco in 2030 than Jerry World in 2026.

I’m more like to catch a 2025 Women’s Eutos in Switzerland in 5 to 7 weeks than I am to go to a 2026 FIFA World Cup match.

🤷‍♂️

from someone that works at senior levels inside ticketmaster:

the company contracted by fifa is https://www.secutix.com/

they have done euros and other tournaments but no one in the us ticket sale/resale/disti industry knows anything about them at all

no one in the us ticket industry has any knowledge of secutix' prior presence in the us

at all

as in, installed on zero phones today in north america, 1 year out

what could go wrong?

Everyone up at 730 watching San Marino vs. Bosnia-Herzegovina!

Guilty. I love how the early day qualifiers are always something like “The principality of St Hubbins vs A Country That Recently Committed War Crimes” or some such.

“we’re going to suit up and boot up” sounds like some neo-Nazi shit.

Surprised they didn’t go with “We’re going to rock out with our cock out”
