My entire life I’ve never called it the FIFA World Cup. I’ve always called it the World Cup. Fans don’t give a shit about FIFA. If national teams showed up for a World Cup tournament not held by FIFA we would all watch it. World Cup is the brand. FIFA is nothing.
Seen this done on the top deck of the 344 bus about 15 years ago. Not a new thing.
Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

love them or loathe them, there's one thing you can't deny about the Argentinian football team: they're a bunch of cunts
Wayne Rooney speaking for the entire world on the half time show. "I thought it was crap."
Ye gods. Let’s never let the Americans anywhere near the World Cup ever again.
There are some Argentinians lads on my train behaving in such a way that makes me worry they may not make it to wherever they’re supposed to be going to watch the game.
Spotted a nice (rare) bit of copywriting on the Ginger Line. One for the meat eaters 🐔 👀
Thames Water increased its bonus payouts to £4.1m for senior managers. It has £19.7bn debt, fleeces customers, dumps sewage in rivers, loses billions of litres of water to leaky pipes. Numerous criminal convictions, licence not revoked. But bosses rewarded .. for what? Govt/Ofwat do nothing.
Thames Water increases bonus payments to £4m despite uncertainty over future
Annual results show struggling firm’s net debt has risen to £19.7bn, up from £17.7bn a year earlier

Slightly ironic given the amount of shit Southgate used to get for being over-cautious.
America is why the rest of the world can't have nice things.
The half-time break at the World Cup final is expected to be around 30 minutes long in order to accommodate Fifa’s star-studded show — breaching the maximum time of 15 minutes permitted under the Laws of the Game
Editor: You get those photos of new signing Harry Wilson? Photographer: Sure did boss, real fuckin weirdly photoshopped with a single massive tattooed popeye forearm and a football that isn't even round just like you asked. Editor: what
London is NOT built for heat, it was built by Victorians who were seemingly always fucking COLD. Those top hatted bastards
France not looking quite so good now they’ve finally come up against a half decent team.
So, there is a precedent for vetoing an MP's resignation Viscount Chelsea (Henry Cadogan) applied for the Chiltern Hundreds in 1842 The Chancellor (Goulburn) refused because, get this, Cadogan wanted to resign to obstruct an investigation for bribery h/t @fascinatorfun.bsky.social and @gazhay.com
If only the media had ‘followed the money’ a little earlier rather than relentlessly platforming that obnoxious crook for years then we might’ve been spared the whole Brexit shitshow 🤷🏻♂️ Anyway, back to the football.
It’s becoming increasingly clear what VAR is for, as any supporter of any team outside “the big six” will already be aware.
Had to be that grotty little Chelsea wanker as well didn’t it.
Unfashionable opinion, but I can’t stand Messi, the gormless little crisp-munching freak.
Not sure those celebrating Farage’s resignation have grasped what the devious bastard is up to here.
