This was very obvious conclusion the second they announced universal breaks (predictability) with no regard to weather conditions

Just picked up an e-book: “Red Card - The 2026 World Cup, Sportswashing, and the FIFA Greed Machine” by Jules Boykoff. Only start reading the book.
To be honest, I am really surprised that the stadiums (stadia?) at the current group phase are full (or at least claimed to be filled). What has happened to the complain about outrageous ticket price? I am seeing families with their small children at some prime seats and not nosebleed sections, that must have cost a small fortune.
It seems like no one is talking about the arresting citizens just because of their skin colour anymore. Epstein file has completely gone quiet. Society ills are not being talked about. People can’t afford food because petrol price are too high, or medical supports are being cut.
Still enjoy the football and fans having a blast in the city, but don’t let the joyous occasions mask the ugliness behind.
Oh, I fucking hate seeing Infantino on TV.

Sure but only because the World Cup is now getting passed between the US and the Gulf
To be honest looking at the temperatures this week in the place where the next World Cup is you will probably need them.
Some one shared a documentary map of what a certain summer could look like in France and Portugal in 2050 and then showed this weeks map.
You couldn’t tell the difference, things are only getting hotter. In fact we aren’t far off where a winter World Cup is the only one you can actually play safely.

So a rotation between South Africa, Argentina and Australia, then?

Some medical experts even believe the hydration breaks are too short, with Douglas Casa, the chief executive of the Korey Stringer Institute that develops practical strategies to prevent sudden death in sport, recommending up to a six-minute break per half.
