    Turns out people don’t want to come to your country when you harass them at the gate. Write that down, maybe we’ll remember it for later…probably not.

      No qualms about all the slaves who died building the one in Qatar but if the wealthy might be inconvenienced, then it becomes an actual problem

    Maybe they shouldn’t have set the ticket prices at $7,000 for the nosebleeds

    This is PR, the group matches may be half full but i guarantee you every game after will be packed. I wish i was wrong but this is just wishful thinking.

    considering LA was the first site of the “ice invasion” it got people scared as it was heavily televised throughout the world. THE MSM realized it so they stopped reporting on ice raids as much as they did.

      I refer to MSM as Billionaire-owned Media.

    And after FIFA gave the prestigious FIFA peace prize to that great peacemaker we call our President. (/s, if that wasn’t obvious).

    I don’t feel like being shot because I will inevitably call an ICE agent a Nazi and tell him to go fuck himself.

    Many seemingly invincible businesses empires have collapsed on some beautiful ordinary day when people just said “you know, we can’t pay for this, this is not the price we can pay - we would want to keep doing this, but the price clearly outweighs any benefits to us”.

    That’s what happens when 70 million voters drink too much nasty Orange Kool-Aid. FIFA should move all the knock out stage matches, including the final, to Mexico and Canada.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
