@janothaus @Anthony_Bonato No. All of the 3 above four can be ruled out, and there’s no reason it should have to be one of them. It’s 5.

@Anthony_Bonato If 4 means "at least one of the above", then 4 is the correct answer

Love this one

@bparispoker @CCanuck4 I think euthanising all life on earth would involve quite a lot of suffering.

@CCanuck4 The logical endpoint of having "suffering is bad" as your primary tenet is to just euthanize all life on earth.

Yes, smart guy, you do in fact need to say why suffering is bad if you're arguing ethics.

@messsssssii1 @UtdMaI Norway were not drawn into Portugal’s group. The letter I comes before the letter K.

@UtdMaI It’s false. Never happened. What really happened was Norway was drawn to Portugal’s group and Rio changed it so that it will be easier for Portugal to finish 1st in their group and avoid big teams facing each other on earlier knockouts but Ronaldo failed to follow script

Never forget: Argentina was never supposed to be in that group. During the World Cup draw, they were initially placed in Group I, not Group J. Then, right in the middle of the live worldwide broadcast, it was changed without any clear explanation. People are still expected to pretend nothing happened.

@UtdMaI Argentina were never placed in Group I. They were put into Group J which was so that the top 2 seeds wouldn’t face each other until the final. That wasn’t a conspiracy, they were open about it.

@Self_Gambit @GLA_JarmenKell @finestlibyan

@GLA_JarmenKell @finestlibyan It also takes in a significant amount of long distance refugees from the Middle East. Even if you take away Ukrainian and European movement, the number of long distance migrants is still huge.

They do, retard.

@Self_Gambit @finestlibyan This graph literally makes the point even better lol. And the Germany increase is clearly based on Ukraine.

Interesting that you chose stats from mid 2020. Here’s a more up to date statistic from the same site. I thought it odd that you chose mid 2020 when 2024 is available. And then I noticed. See that Turkey in your screenshot shows 3.5mil, in mine, it’s 3.7mil. A 200K increase. But notice Germany? More than doubled. More than 1mil+. Why is that? My statistic shows that Muslim refugees are choosing, en mass, to migrate to non Muslim countries. statista.com/statistics/163…

@DeathUnicursal @damienslash Doesn’t have to be. Not all satire is comedy.

@damienslash Isn’t satire supposed to be funny?

Why I'm Supporting Argentina 🇦🇷 Not England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 this World Cup 🏆

@Business_Real_ @damienslash Yes it’s a joke. Obviously.

@damienslash This is a joke right? It seems like some kind of rage bait..but just in case. The British were the first to step foot on the island and make it a home. The current Falkland Islanders are happy being British and don't want anything to do with Argentina.

@damienslash Ffs guys it’s a joke

Devine le footballeur Niveau : difficile

@FlapjackFpl This is cool but he does clearly play as a forward for England

Wow

@Anth1923 @Selene_Mariposa No

@Selene_Mariposa Pretty good idea. But no ties in the group stage, straight to PKS.

FIFA is floating a 64-team World Cup, and the whole football world is groaning. I am not. I just think they will do it badly, because they always do it badly. So here is the version that works. Sixteen groups of four. Two advance. That gives you a clean 32-team knockout bracket and kills the ugliest thing about the current format, those eight best third-place finishers they invented because 48 does not divide cleanly into anything. It was a fudge and everyone knew it. Sixty-four fixes it by accident. 127 matches. 64 nations. And the champion still plays only eight games. You doubled the field and did not add a step to the winner's road. Now the part that changes everything. One group, one city. Sixteen groups. Sixteen host cities. Your group plays every match in the same place. Fans book one hotel, one flight, one week off work, and settle in. Right now a supporter chases their team across a continent, three cities, three flights, three hotels, and half of them just give up and watch from home. Under this, a city does not host a match. A city adopts four countries for two weeks. And oh, the cities are going to have opinions. Whoever draws Japan should just relax. Those fans will stay after every match and clean the stadium, and if they get bored they may simply tidy up the whole city while they are at it. You will get your town back better than you left it. Whoever draws Scotland needs to order the booze in advance. All of it. Call your distributor now. The Tartan Army will be the best-behaved, most joyful, most catastrophically thirsty guests you have ever hosted, and they will make lifelong friends of everyone they meet, right up until the beer runs out and there is a diplomatic incident. Whoever draws the Netherlands needs to source orange buses. And orange everything. Those people will turn your downtown into a citrus flood, they will bring a marching band nobody asked for, and honestly it will be the best two weeks your city has ever had. Whoever draws Argentina, may God be with you. Whoever draws Norway, get the salmon in. Whoever draws Mexico, congratulations, your city just became a party and you were not consulted. That is a World Cup. Not a logistics exercise. A town square with the whole world in it. And here is the money. The moment the seeding is announced, the entire bracket exists. Every path, every matchup, every city, on one sheet of paper, months out. Bracket mania. Global bracket mania. Americans fill out 60 to 70 million brackets every March for a college basketball tournament. Office pools. Group chats. Grandmothers picking by mascot. It is the most engaging fortnight on our calendar and it exists entirely because you can see the whole map at once. Now do that with the entire planet. Which means killing the draw. Let us be honest about what that ceremony is. A man in a suit pulling balls from a bowl while the world pretends the biggest decision of the tournament was left to chance. It is a plot device, and it always bends the same direction. Toward the money, toward the hosts, toward the broadcast windows. The draw is not a ritual. It is a lever. So do it the American way. A committee seeds all 64, publishes the criteria, announces the bracket live, then defends it in public while the whole planet screams at the television. Transparency does not kill the drama. It creates it. And oh yeah. Kill the third place game. Nobody cares that you are the second best loser. Two heartbroken teams playing an exhibition in front of people who came for something else. No child has ever dreamed of lifting that trophy. Cut it. More nations. Cleaner bracket. One city per group. A bracket you can hold in your hand. Show me the committee. Show me the criteria. Then hand me a pen. I have picks to make. 🦋

@Selene_Mariposa You have a lot of good ideas here (LOVE host cities for whole groups) but taking out the draw is heinous.

@Knockoffnige63 @sspencerukk

@sspencerukk How many kilo’s sniffed, birds fingered, How many times I’ve said I fucking hate pakis.

If you could be given 3 stats from your life on your deathbed what would they be?

@Ace_Chris_ Why would Tanzania-Seychelles be an intercontinental playoff?

"How disgusting, a 64-team World Cup is anti-football." Me watching Kenya vs Gibraltar because Tanzania couldn't beat Seychelles in the intercontinental playoff to qualify

@ZiaYusufUK This is an incredibly stupid thing to say for a person wishing to hold public office.

“Don’t speculate!” means “shut up and accept the establishment narrative!”.

@pxrcywxst You know you’d have had this too if you were ranked top 4 in the world?

Argentina v England in the semis both teams COMBINED have faced less top 10 nations than Scotland did sound

@meowsarus This is proper “awkwardly moving around at a party to be stood near the person you wanna hit on” vibes

He traveled the seven seas & got smacked in the nuts so he can pinch haaland’s ass

@miffy30886 @Erling @grok Are you using grok just to like, banter with?

@Erling @grok Took Haaland 29 Hours after Norway’s match to make a post. Sorloth def traumatised him

It’s been quite a row, thank you for making it so special 🚣🏼🇳🇴❤️

@absolutkylian A theoretical England team involving non-called up players?

Can you guess the national team? 👀 Level: HARD
