Just analyzing positions of SDS 🇸🇮 on several issues…The fact that this party (and its little bro NSi) still sits in EPP really tells you a lot about EPP 🤦🏻♂️

Still amazing to see this final product of a long and testing process. Thanks again to @duncanmcdonnell.com & @ammassarisofia.bsky.social for saving this project and turning all our work into a great book. 🙏 If you are interested in discussing the interesting findings, interview Duncan & Sofia!
Not that I care about this game and about the whole MAGA World Cup too much, but seeing Deschamps’ France getting humiliated is almost better than England comically loosing another semifinal. Anyways, can’t wait for this bogus tournament to be over, so that Regionalliga Nordost can finally start!

Our article is now available Open Access! We hope our typology is useful to study national teams (in all sports) and to further reflect on globalization effects on modern football. The 2026 MAGA World Cup sees a further decline in "ethnic" national teams and a sharp rise in "diaspora" teams.
Feel bad for Mexico and Canada having to share a World Cup with Trump’s US. Could’ve been a really great tournament otherwise (though, given it’s also Infantino’s FIFA, maybe not).
